chance is a Republican elected The two parties
by their managers. entered into agreement by
the terms of which each party drew up ticket OF
applicants for the several offices. II impossi-
be to get enough volunteers TO make a full ticket
IN the Republican party. and therefore ticket
lacking in of its parts prepared. On
the other hand. large number Of applicants
offered themselves for each Office the Demo
cratic side.
Each applicant for nomination required to
pay certain amount to cover the expense of hold
ing a primary election. This was, by agreement,
held under the auspices of the State County
Board of Elections. and all the formaIities Of the
usual Australian ballot election observed
The Republicans, IN part, voted their ticket,
and thereby put in nomination such OF the men
as they preferred, who had offered themselves for
1Iomina ton by and for their own party. Many
Republicans knowing that their ticket would
nominated. and that II was mere matter Of
form at the bes-. voted the Democratic nominating
ticket, and so went with he best Democrats. help
ing them to crush the worst men who had offered
suit was that a fine Democratic ticket Horni-
mated and elected. and tEat in this way the best
element OF the city had united in the government
thereof.
The election showed that great part Of those
Republicans who had helped nominate the best
Democrats voted for them at the city election. It
viii be that by this plan politics entirely
eliminated from the municipal election
The people Of conditions and of both parties
satisfied with the result excepting, Of course,
the few politicians who thoroughly dropped in
