Show Uneasy. The pseudo-nationals aro very uneasy at the prospect of parties being divided in this Territory, as they are elsewhere, upon purely political principles. It was tho hopo of their leaders to achieve a ltepublicau success jby leavening politics with a religious crusade. That theso leaders cloak a determined party purposo under tho pretenso of waiving political considerations considera-tions to what they protend is the paramount para-mount duty of prosecuting the McKean and Newman crusade, is evident from the fact that the ticket nominated by them at the last election was composed of wool-dyed Republicans. They were so intensely partisan then, that they would not give a Democrat a place on their ticket, although to hare dona so would have been a merely impartial1 compliment, as everybody knew that tho ticket would be defeated. When they were so prejudiced politically as to, decline to put a Democrat on their ticket, they certainly would not be! magnanimous enough to do so if there was any probability that a nomination! would be confirmed by the people atj the polls. j |
