[hs Municipal TicketTiie
ticket non ioated last Monday at the

The meeting iliat made the nominations
ivas composed ef a large number of clearly
rvprcfenta'ive men of the town, of both
cuniSquently it is emphatienl'y im*
people's ticket, and upon sound democratic
doettine, should commend the support of all
who recognize the paramount right of the
people to meet and nominate such nien as
they wish to conduct their public affairs.

our representative people heretofore, has
hern in not keeping well organize! up to
the very hour of the elcc ion, an! the result
has often been tho election of a ticket
representing the in'ertst of a very small
number of persons. This must not be the
case this year.
We huve nothing unpleasant to say of any
