The Herald recently boasted with great glcc over the vast wealth of the democratic candidates for office, and intimatcd that the republican candidates were 50 poor that they
 would not be abe to make d bond in case of election. The ERA freely acknowl lodged that the republican candidates were mainly composed of
 men who made their living by daily toil. and for that very reason 1t ,u9- l pcSted that they should receive the vote of the wOrkinGmcn of the
