With the exception OF about one

the Republican primary and Randall
and Fittro practically got them all, and
yet the Herald undertakes to persuade
the people that the county ticket is
not the choice of the party ii it were
not, there would have been different
ticket nominated 1t must not be sup
posed that one hundred men form the
Republican party rs against 1000, and
it should also be remembered that of
the hundred that scratched there are
many who have awakened to The fact
that there are persons conspiring to
turn the county over to the Democratic
party and as the result they will vote
the Republican ticket straight In the
face OF these figures, the Herald still
makes false nretension OF being a Re
publican papg. and refues to support
tine ticket, which the Republicans have
nominated. Republicans have their eyes
open on this point and they will show
that paper what they can do by electing
every man on the ticket by an over
whelming majority.

The News admits that it intends to.
let the little clique here do the nomin-
atins and that means that it wants the
public to know that it does not propose
to look after the interest. of the country
Democrats in the Democratic convention.
That IS another admission That it was
not sincere few weeks ago in its ut
teranees in behalf of the country people.
That burden of love it had for them
then, when it thought to get country Re
publicans prejudiced against city Re-
publicans, seems to have become 80
neavy a. to push the veil of insncerity
aside and show it in all its hypocriticaI.
ugliness.

The enemies Of the Republican party
are trying to make it appear that the
Republican county ticket should be de.
feated because Harmer did not carry
the county Such position is the
most ridiculously selfish and narrow we
ever heard OIL The nominees did not
fight Harmer. They took no part in the
contests between Thorn aud Harmer
They did not advise the reoplc to vote
for Harmcr or for Thorn Most of
them took no hand at the polls, and
Hammer himself was probably the mast
active of those who took any hand at all
at the polls. They made no fight
against Harmer. They did not advise
any fight against him. They would
have been satisfied for him to have car.
ried the county and they would have
supported him. If he had received the
nomination, as would all other true blue
Republicans. Under such circum.
stances and conditions, it is certainly a
foolish proposition to try to persuade
tie party to turn men down. who had
nothing in the world to do with Har.
mer's defeat in the county, men who did
not turn over their hand to cause that
defeat. men who would now be giving
their nearly support to him. if he had
carried the county.

common report that one or two Of this

the reasons they manipulate the Herald
in the interests OF the Democratic
clique, and not that they think that it
would be beneficial to the county to
elect Democrat to office. That little
set wants to promote its own interests
at the expense of the party it has be-
trayed.
