Portland ,Or., May 2.-(To the Demo cratic Voters of the City of Portland and County of Multnomah.) The Democratic city and county convention, by a very large majority, decided that It was un wise to put a straight Democratic ticket in the field for tha coming election, and advised that the Democrats Join with other citizens in putting up a ticket under the name, "Citizens'." This advice was followed, and the pres ent Citizens' ticket is tha result. Al though a number of the members of this committee were opposed to this action in the first instance, we all bow to the de cision of the largo majority, and now most earnestly urge all Democrats to sup port the "Citizens' ticket" thus nomi nated, and every part of it. If it be necessary to state any reason why Democrats should support the Cit izens' ticket among tha many whtoh sug gest themselves your committee will mention the folowtng: ' PARTY LOYALTY. . A large majority of your representatives in caucus convention assembled, having In view what they believed to bo the best interests of our party, as well as the best interests of our city and county, have advised this courso, and have assisted in the nomination of the ticket you are asked to support, and party loyalty and the public welfare demands that all Democrats support the ticket thus nom inated. THE PERSONNEL OF THE TICKET. As regards the personnel of the ticket, we can safely challenge comparison with other tickets in the Held. The ticket, without exception, is composed of good, capable, honest men, men who will we believe, faithfully and honestly discharge Hie duties of the offices for which they are candidates. Their election will re flect credit on the party, and will surely be in the interests of good government ror the city and county. ' WILL HELP OUR STATE TICKET. The earnest and enthusiasts support of the Citizens ticket by the Democrats of this county will greatly contribute to the Kuccess of our state ticket. . THE REPUBLICAN LEGISLATIVE TICKET MUST BE DEFEATED. The election of the Republican legisla tive ticket in this county means, in all probability. THE ELECTION OF HON. t .W. FULTON, OF ASTORIA, to the United States Senate. This la a matter of VITAL IMPORTANCE to the people of the city of Portland and the county of Multnomah. The Interests of the state and especially of this county cannot be safely entrusted to Mr. Fulton In the United States Senate. THE VERY LIFE OF OUR CITT depends upon an open river to the sea. Multnomah County can u fiord to take no chances In this matter, should unite - to defeat the Republican legislative ticket, and to elect the Citi zens ticket. WHAT WILL YOU DOT Fellow Democrats in the language of the street, 'it Is up to you.'f We think we speak advisably when we say that if the Democrats of this county do their duty and give their earnest active sup port to the Citizens ticket, the entire ticket will be elected. And we believe that this will very greatly aid and strengthen our state ticket. We, there fore, most earnestly urge you to do every thing in your power to accomplish this result. - We also earnestly recommend that all Democrats vote for the initiative and referendum amendment to the constitu tion L.
