Copperhead Ticket
Summary
The Examiner looks at the position of Charles Cole, editor of the Maryland Union, and wonders at the changing political stances he has taken. It assumes that he wishes to secure for himself some political office. The Examiner gives the names of the candidates for the Copperhead ticket and discusses the circumstances under which the Copperhead (or Conservative Union) Party chose the nominees. There were very few people in attendance at the convention and some of the candidates named to the ticket were not, apparently, consulted about their nominations. In other instances, the names of nominees are the same as nominees of the Unconditional Union Party. It is expected that a number of the nominees will withdraw their names and that those people already on the Unconditional ticket will disassociate themselves from the Copperhead ticket.
