tickets are, lo composed of proirrcs-dve citizens,
.and it ouht to win, as tho past twoticketshave.
Hut, however pmd a ticket tht IJepublieans
lni'lit nominate, thero would always remain tin
possibility of defeat. The Ie moeratie tit: k ft wit!
he coiiiMs,tl of the turn progressive element, and
yet, if a ntraiht out contest betwe-n the two
parties occurs, many propiv.sive Democrat will
vote with the "knoekers' fearing, if they vote
iii'ainst the ticker, to 1 classed as 'traitor-."
SOUTH SIDE "(lOlNt; .soMK"
Tho south si h-of the city projoes to have

The Republican party has always t Sa.ii .-d to
be the party of propre.s in Vinita, and it has
abundantly justified that proud boast, mthepast.
The Chieft;ou ln-hovc. it wdl do so arain this

AN INOONTUOYKKTIHLK FACT
The fact remains, that, under tho present admin
istration, taxeshave been reduced from twenty
mills to fifteen, and for the first time in Vinita'd
history the property of tho big projerty-owner
has Uen ass.wsed at something like itsreal
value. This never hapi'tiel under tlserule of
the Heme -ratio machine, for tho Democratic ma
chine is composed of the bitf proerty owners.
