FREE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
For County Judge.
& CHATFIELD
Election Sept. 3d. 1919.
COENTY IrDGE

CoClN / ! JODIE.
At the late County Convention of the Free
Democracy, A. G. CHsrfIELD, Esq, Of this vii
lage, was nominated as the candidate for County
Judge; he receiving on the informal ballot about
40 thirds of the votes cast. We have no doubt
whatever but this nomination will give universal
satisfaction and will be triumphantIy sustained
by the poople-indeod we think it will hardly
encounter a show OF opposition. Mr. CHATFIELD
is qualified in every respectful habits, character
and capacity for the place.
u One Of the main efforts of the Madison
press to prejudice people against an union of
parties, was that Il ticket had been got MP by in
t9restcd men, and the object was solely to secure
It's success. We stated a. tie tinta. and we state
again, that the assertion was Wholly false. no
such thing having been thought of or talked Of
But whilst these patriots have been thus bv
faIsehood seeking to deceive the pcople. they
have themselves been log-rong and pipc-lay-
ing together ticket to suit themselves. and
which they design the Convention of the 5th
shall endorse, and The democracy swallow as all
regular" This ticket is as follows:
For Gorcaor-A. II. SMITH. of Rock.
Sec. Of Ha'e-F; W. IioRN, OF WASHINGTON.
A!y' 6e"cra'-iS. PARK Coon, OF Nil.
tIeGSarer-J. {. FAGRCHMD, of Dane.
The Lieutenant Governor remains to be Sc
lectod, and will doubtless be taken from the
west. That this ticket has been cooked IN and
agreed upon between the wire-pullers. we have
the best authority for believing dnd that it will
be nominated we have considerable decree of
confidence. That there will be other Interests.
nj woiA, and that this ticket n,aV MT be- nonina-
tcd, we are aware; nevertheless should it not be-
the strength it viii command will prove what
we say, that it has been determined on bv the
wire pullers. We do not mention it to criticise
the character or qualifications of these proposed
candidates; We merely mention it to show the
influences at work to distract and keep distracted
the democracy ofthis S,;itc. Every name men,
toned on this proposed ticket is of the ultra hunk
or STAN p-of the lewis Cass qna l. y. Waller
school. Not one of them could for one moment
secure the consideration of the Free Democracy
for nomination to office, and hence to elevate
them all efforts at union have been rejected. -
We are astonishcd at the subseryiencv of the
public press e this State. Not one of them out
of Madison but expressed itself in faiof of union.
and the mode by which it was proposed to be ac-
compilshed, and yet at the dctauon of five men
~ Madison, manitcstly and conlessedIy under the
control Of the two presses there, they right
ahoa' face, swallow their own words, and labor
directly against what they professed so much
attachment for. We doubt whether the people
will be found thus slayishly disposed, or willing
10 be used as the mere catspaw of the wirc-pull-
ing intrigucrs at the seat of government
uF Martin Van Buren, has written a letter
de lining to be a delegate to the Convention 1t
Rome, \. Y; he expresses the desire that a
union may be effected on honorable terms. He
is persuaded that the masses of the democracy
ostho State are right upon the questions ut is
slc and are ready for union upon prl ciple.-
Whether the leaders of the tunkcr faction will
submit oa union, remains to Be seen.
n We would say to the Milwaukee Scnti-
mel that we meant to convey no imputation
whatever in what we said with regard to the
Empire State. We read in the Sentinel or
some other sheet, that there was a heary insu-
rance on her, and when we said il was probabI,
moi that which sent her ashore, we meant jus,
What we said When steamboat is earning
from 20 TO 30 per ct. on her cost. we don't sun
pose even Capt. Hazard would run her ashore
for the sake OF her insurance if that is what the
Sentinel meant

that they seek TO mako up what they have los

we know when we say that neither Brown or
Tcnncy has ever had a contract ont of which
they did not make money. The Milwaukee, Sen
