The Democrats, who voted almost
unanimously to accept the PROPOSE

patriotic motives in endeavoring to
eliminate politics from the cam
paign, SO far as the county ticket
was concerned, and say they are
disappointed at the action of the
Republicans in refusing it. The Re-

there is to be a partisan campaign
