It says: 5 “If there is a man elected on the Democratic ticket a week from next . Weduesday he will be chosen by the votes of Republicans. A Democratic candidate, to receive Aepublican votes, whether enough to elect or not, ought to be a muvh better man— a great deal better. citizen in « vety respect than the Republican who is slaughtered—and \.e may say the same uf the Democrat who splits his ticket. But thie rule, ifackuowledged as applicable tu the two tickets in the field, will be one sided, as . the ‘‘better man” is not to be found. on the Democratic ticket. The Republican nominees are all good citizens, aud not a word can be said against one of them. This being true, and the county having a Republican majority of at least 150, why cannot we sufely anticipate the: success of the ticket from top to bottom.” In Nevada county there is a Republican majority of at least three hundred.
