Weaver saya the Democrat* alone could not hare carried the state by 4U,000 votes Y el with a loud blast of trumpets a Democratic victory is claimed. It must be pleasant to the Green, backers. We know of ceveral domocrata who are trying, to trade Henry Welsh, the best man on their ticket for Niokel votes. We think they will find that republicans have to much respect for their honor and dignity, to be caught selling them•elves for auy prioe, much leas for a Nitkle.

No Republican should be induced to trade votes on any candidate. The Republican ticket all the way through is composed of men every way worthy ot the confidence and suffrages of the people; and -every Republican should think enough of his political principles to give his own candidate a hearty support. Republicans; remember that it is easy for Democrats to promise to trade, but they are just smart enough to vote a straight ticket on election day, and laugh‘in their •leeves to think by their treachery they succeed in inducing a Republican to scratch his ticket. It would be well to consider this mat ter seriously and determine to take your politics straight.
