strange that they repeat his Perior-
every two years, but a. II Affords
n little innocent amusement for the
aud causes no disappoint-
10 the nominees We are willing
TO see the game continued, Cd intini-
tum. There were several men IN the
convention who could have secured
nominations and would not accept them
and 10 those who. Knowingly and will
inely, offered themselves as sacrifices

ton we certainly think the rank and
file Of the party should be gra'efu'.

good men. We suppose the rest OF
the ticket Is o. good and kno"
that IL Il u not that the party VIII
suffer worse than ever because the
democrats offer to the people % hne
lot Of men as the county produces.
Nominations we're made for oil the

Gan, des,re on the part ofthose present
to escape q nomination.
