"The ticket nominated by the Dem
ocratic party and endorsed by the Lin
coin party which was led by many
men high in the councils OF the CITY
Party. is not satisfactory to a large
proportion OF the City Party voters
The election of Mr.. Emery. who, while
an honest man. would carry into oftict
three Democrats, which. with the pres
ent state treasurer. would give the
Democrats the preponderance OF power
in the executive Offices at Harrisburg
Suppose Mr. Emery. IL elected. shoult
die. The entire state administration
OF this rock-ribbed Republican stat
would be In the hands OF the Demo
cratic party.
"The present Republican ticket u b.
