Chas. H. Morgan. It’s a jewel tor hard logic and pointed diction. The Republican appears to be a little partial im its ‘‘puffs’? of can- didates: Mr. J. H. Morgan ceives a very flattering notice while the rest of the Radical ticket is ig- nored. Perhaps it is an oversight. re- aa The Greenbackers ..are always consistent, to be sure. In their late county convention they adopted’ a straight out and out prohibition plank as part of their platform, and atthe same time placed on their ticket a man whose business is wholesale and retail liquor dealing. That is political virtue and consist- ency of a ngh order. As will be seen in the proceedings of the Democratic Central Commit- tee published elsewhere in | to-days Times, that body refused to pay any bills presented by Judges and Clerks of the primary elections. The cou.- mittee conceived it to haye been the province of the primary election committee to have acted upon that matter deffinately, and, therefore, considered it out of their jurisdiction. Se A nominee for one of the highest offices on the Greenback ticket, stat- ed to the Truss yesterday, that, the leading Republican south of the river came tohis house at midnight to fix up the fusion ticket. “This Republican was authorized to do this by a number of other Radical leaders in the county. This of course, mm the light of later transac- tions reflects credit upon the “grand old party. PROHIBITION vs. DEMOORAOY. | WILL BUTLER GET IT.
