place the power in the hands of the democrats,

at the tame time be acting fairly, by giving the
minority a representative of their intereats with
out the power of doing any harm. We thou Id
like to see a law enacted that would bring about
auch an arrangement something aimilar to our
Iswelectinr Judge and Inspectors of elections.
These are onr candid opinions, and we are not a

the sentiment of a large majority of the reflect

For thesn reason we shall support Morris
