Information has reached me that a number of independents who were forms erly republicans contemplate voting for the Harrison electors. With the repub- lican strength thus augmented it would be impossibie for democrats to carry their own electors ticket to victory., It is there the part of good judgment and wise action for democrats to support the Weaver electoss in as large numbers as possible. For democrats to do this is no abaudonment of principle; on the contrary, it is« definite step toward victory and the wllimate trinmph of CLEVELAND and Stevenson and the prin- ciples they vepresot.
