NOMINATION OF GOV. BARSTOW.


Yesterday published the telegraphic announcement
that Gov Barsow had been nominated by the democratic
State convention in Wisconsin for the Office of governor
Of that State We rejoice at this result Governor Bar
stow, by his administration his pure answering devo-
ton to principle has endcnred hmsef to the hearts of the
gallant democracy of Wisconsin Almost alone he stood
in firm, constitutional defiance TO the unreasonable and
oppressive intolerance ard prescription of the Inst fusion
legislature. That body denounced him. and he turned
from them to the true of all power-he people He
the chosen of the people before the who composed
that legislature had by fraud and falschood gucd and
cheated place and power for themselves To the people
did Gov Barstow appeal when the fraudulent representa-
tves of The people denounced him. That appeal though
vanly sought TO be enced by the camor Of personal
lity and disorganizing if not dsgracefu seshness
the part of political associates has been goriousy
triumphany answered by the UNANIMOUS VOICE of the
democratic convention II acted democratic
ton should have acted it commanded the dscordant lam
entatons and walings and threacnngs of
and private revenge leave that body hur their
camors in other place it bid the Iiscontented
sonal enemies of the good, faithful and upright public
officer go hence with their petty envy it said that the
harmony and dignity and glory of rewardng the honest
governor should be disturbed by selfish complanings
private lamentations
Governor Barstow's political opinions and sentiments
well known He believes firmly in the integrity of the
democratic party He thinks and believes that there is no
ty acting upon It's longtried and
principles may not remedy and dispose of to the benefit
the country Gov. Barsow is democrat he recognises
principles TO govern bis political actions but the plain
unmistakabe doctrines always and taught in their
purity by the democratic party He holds communion
with the advocates OF isms the expedicnts which
tons resort to defeat his party and elevate broken
down aposates to office.
We look upon the nomination brilliant event in the
history Of Wisconsin democracy 1t the glorious ex-
ample of generous party unanimously resolving that
personal hatred shall deprive the State of nvaua-
BILE officer the party of glorious gallant uncompro-
missing leader.
1t is for rejoicing also because his selection
evidence that the democratic party of Wisconsin intends
hereafter TO be governed and led by the fresh minds of
dent, reliable active Temporizng fogyism is no
more; its is in wisconsin, and hereafter
that there we'll in all the States to have dem
ocratc leaders, who, upon the approach of battle will
brave face the foe and not lead into passages
of expedieny to be shot down captured by the enemy
We have not the slightest doubt but that Gov Barstow
will be reelected by at least $4,000 majority and
that should any Of his personal enemies seek to defeat his
election, the deeds of such of them claim be demo-
will be remembered and not forgotten in that day of
rewards and punishmens which trust to have
hand.
