has far exceeded that of any former
month. We understand that the re-

twenty thousand dollars more than ever

This body of men were certainly Of

GREETED to observe, and that was that
nearly the whole body were armed with
pistols, as if they anticipated an attack.
These were frequently fired oft, after

A CONTRAST.

A correspondent in this mornings "Observ-
er, accuses Mr. Wilson of taking both sides OF
the Nebraska question and prates good deal
about consistency.
Mr.. Wilson is not the man to stultfy himself
in this way and we take the liberty of denying
this charge and calling for the proof.
We know that Jud re Hamilton, Mr.. Will
sons opponent, has stated to more than one
person, within the last week, that he was op
posed to the Maine Liquor Law and yet it is
charged upon him that he has gone into the
country and represented himself to Maine Law
men. as in favor of the adoption of prohibi-
tory liquor law.
Mr. Wilson has made no secret of his opini.
ons upon these two questions, while the judge
seems very reluctant to take the stump and lay
bare his case.
His manner Of electioneerins seems to be, to
make flying visit few miles into the coun-
try and then return to Dubuque and inform the
supposed green ones that the thing is all right;
that the people anti. Nebraska to a man; and
that he will beat Mr.. Wilson out of Dubuque
county 800 votes. What can be his object in
making these statements we know not, unless
il be to catch !gmGeeons in Dubuque city and
