the ballot the campaign of SLAM
der Waged against one of the
States ablest and most worthy
young men, Jared Y. Sanders.
Like in the present campaign,
t h e so-called reform element
tried to make up for what they
didn't have with horrible and
5 currilous defamation of
character to ride into
office over the good name a n d
honored history of the Demo
cratic party of the State.
The table below shows how
the people taught them a lesson,
which, however, they do not ap-
pear to have appreciated:
