We trust that all straight voting Demo-
Gratis on Monday will adopt the precaution
follow the admontion of placing their
names on the back of their tickets, in order
that all may know how each one votes. To
such Democrats as only profess attachment
to the principles of the party for the pur-
pose Of obtaining Office and living upon the
emolumcnts thereof, we would suggest that
the approaching election will present a most
favorable opportunity to bolt into the ranks
of the opposition and thus ascertain whether
their services in behalf of thick lips" and
"kinky hair" will not be more substantially
appreciated and repaid by political prefer
ment, than has been their fortune whilst so
journing in the camp of the Democracy
The Democratic masses can well spare and
cheerfully part with all such political aspi-
rants and as one means Of assisting to de-
tect the spurious coin that has heretofore
been passing current in the Democratic
household, we would earnestly urge upon all
true friends of our party, its principles and
usages, that Mey lrrite their names on hc
back of their tie,ets. Should this policy be
adopted as general rule, as it has hereto
fore prevailed to a considerable extent
(and surely no good Democrat can find fault
with it, as it will be but silently and rOLHn.
taray voting riUa rOee)-the Evolves in
Sleeps clothing" with which the party has
been infested, can have an opportunity o.
showing their hands, by endorsing the ticket
with their names on the back Of it, or 9th

Democrats whom it is very strongly suspect
ed never voted straight ticket since the
organization of the Territory; and it is fol
their especial benefit, in order that they may
not hereafter occupy an equiyical position

could meet make their nominations, and
adjourn in peace, unity and harmony, with
out their motives being questioned or their
nominations jecred at. The time was, when
men were wanted to fill certain public sta
tons, the party called upon them and made
known its wish. Quite different now, d
a limited ertent, in certain ATTITUDES. We
have in this community certain class oi
men who seem to think that they have been
annointed and set peculiarly apart" for
the purpose of holding all the Offices in the
Territory; that they are theirs by birth-right
and Inheritance that the masses of the
party have no right to be heard in the prem
ises, and that if they cannot rule the party
they t0W ruin The party. We believe the
honest masses think with US, that all such
had better 60 over to the enemy at once,
for we do not think they will ever call upon
them to fill dny office; and let the true, solid
Democratic column cease at once and for
ever all undue wrangling about men, and
meet our opponents at the ballot box on the
issues of the principles which separate US
Let the Democracy vote the trhOie ticket
from Isaac |. STEVENS down to the last
name on it. Do not let the enemies of the
Democracy gain even a temporary triumph
over us. Allow no sioapping or trading oI
votes. With a decided majority in the
county of at least one hundred, it is our du

their duty, victory is ours on Monday next

again caution Democrats to beware, and
exhort all to be at the polls early on Mon
day, with determination to do their whole
duty.
