H ticket and no one belonging to either division B among the Republican nominees. It would appear that the members of that organization have been grievously misinformed. Htid the blunder-of placing plac-ing such people on a ticket been committed in the turmoil and heat of a convention, there might possibly have been" some palliation, but in, the case of the American party, the nominees were selected by a committee, who naturally had ample time for-maturo for-maturo deliberation before arriving, at a choice. The saloon men referred to are James W. Cahoon and J. Bourgard, and the ardent support of the American party ticket by members of the temperance tem-perance society is consequently: ja little surprising. |
