the Herald was advocating the reduc-
ton of the republican majority in the
state-its first step towards open
democracy that the danger of lis
tening to such advice was sounded by
this paper. The Herald has constant
ly kept up the carping on this subject,
and while the Evening Times does not
believe that the candidate mentioned
in the Herald will suffer any cut, if
he does he can thank the junior demo-
cratic organ Of the city for educating
the people TO that way OF thinking.
The hypocritical cry OF the Herald
is ridiculous in the face OF the course
it has pursued during the campaign.
1t has advocated in every issue the
knitting Of the ticket. 1t has an
nounced its intention of doing so it,
self on election day. Now to criticise
others because its teachings have been
needed, is a thousand times worse
than ridiculous.

WHY IS it,

The people are rapidly becoming in
terested in the reason why the demo-
cratic party in this state has central
lied its efforts in this campaign up
on the control of the supreme court.
That party is loud in its claims on the
surface that its one great object is the
purifying Of the republican party; that
its motives were wholly unselfsh and
its purposes as pure as the falling
snow. But the voters are unable to
understand why the party should nom-
mate one Of its most pronounced men,
bers in order to secure a non-partisan
judiciary.
Candidly and without any prejudice
to any party interested, can any rea-
sonable man believe that the election
of a democrat in a campaign fiercely
waged by the democratic party in
which it has resorted to the most
despicable political methods and as
sailed the personal character of it's
opponent, would make the court clean
er than II man was elected to It who
has honestly held his political con.
