be break in some other direction
OF course, we know The paper has
not much TO enthuse over in the way
OF a ticket. No paper could be ez-
pected TO get up much enthusiasm for
a ticket created by the few in power
and TO whose making the rank and
file of the republicans had little, if
anything. to say. II the other paper
is sorry for their ticket, we sympa-
thize accordingly.

There is one other aldermanie can
didate of whom we have not had the
pleasure of saying much about thus
far, but who is in every way worthy
of the confidence of the voters OF
the city. 1t is Mr.. O'Boyle's running
mate. Louis Norris. Mr. Norris is
machinist and works in the shops in
this city. He is a representative OF
the laboring element and gentle
man whom it has been our pleasure
to know for a long time. He is not
IL aay sense an erratic Individual,
but one who enjoys to a large degree
the confidence and esteem of his fell
low employees Mr.. Norris is man
of judgment and character, and his
ability in affairs would make him of
service to the public if elected to
fill the position of alderman from the
First ward.
Boulder Herald: Candidly it does
look as if Peabody would be seated.
If the supreme court decides that the
legislature cannot seat Mcdonald. the
vote will be on the question of Ad-
ans or Peabody, and the Herald has
it pretty straight that a careful can
vass develops that when the final
vote is taken Adams will have one
majority. 1t is also said that money
is being used on both sides very Law
ishly and that the grafters can get
rich now if they so desire. If it is
true that there is but one vote differ
ence. the Evans crowd will be will
ing to put up pile of money to
get that one vote, no matter who
it was, and the Adams crowd would
be equally willing to put up pile
of money to be sure of retaining
that one vote. The temptation to
sell out is pretty big.
There has been nothing said in
this paper whatever anent the plac-
ing of ticket in the field by the law
and enforcement league. save that we
regarded it to be their privilege. if
they so desired. But the organ of
the republican party seems to have
a nightmare regarding the matter.
The democracy placed their ticket
in the field and are willing to stand
or fall by that ticket. They do not
hope to win by running down any
party. its platform or its candidates.
We do not regard it as a personal af-
front that any ticket has been placed
in the field. and we feel free to state
that democracy has not flirted at all,
as the republican party has, with the
law and enforcement league, which
organization the other paper seems
to take especial delight now in ham
mering. as if II was nightly injured.

The American people like to be
invited to do things. They think they
are slighted if an invitation is not
extended to them, so that, to use an
expression of the streets, we do not
propose to be ''mealy-mouthed'
about the matter and have our
friends slighted, but extend a most
cordial invitation to men and women
of both parties, and in fact all par
ties. to compliment us with their
votes. We never insulted the intel
ligence of any man by asking him
before his face to vote for anything.
However, while we extend this invi-
tation (and we suppose our contem-
porary will call it superb gall' to
do sol we hope no man or woman
will vote for us if they think we will
be any mans of any set of mems Gre
ature, or that we will be the plant
tool of anyone. We prefer to be de-
feated than to be charged with wear
ing collar which we have not fitted
to our own neck.

No city in the nation has been so
ring-ridden as the city of Philadel-
phia, Pa, and that, too. by a repub-
lican ring. There is no comparison
between conditions existing at Louis
vile, Ky, and in the city of broth
erly love- In the latter city the
white slave" traffic has been car
ried on so boldly that it has at last
aroused the citizens of the Quaker
city and they are going down the
line as one man to absolve their
skirts from this traficking in virtue
The very long article published yes
terday in the other paper about con-
ditions at Louisville was an attempt
TO draw comparisons between what
might be expected in this city under
a democratic administration and nm
