Hon. K. RAYNER-DEAR SIR: The statement
made to me by Mr.. Barringer was in casual con
versation, with which did not charge my memory,
and am not able to recall it fully. 1t agreed sub
stantialy with the statement he now makes. un.
derstood him, intending to convey the idea that
it was suspicious circumstance in connection with
the charge against the President, his party of
bargain for the Catholic vote and 1 remarked that
did not think it amounted to any proof of such q
thing. Upon which he replied promptly that me- did
not mean to make any such charge-but merely
mentioned it, and it might pass for what it was
worth. think he also disclaimed any belief in the
charge that had been made
This is the substance of what was said.
Very respectfully,

The Issue.

The only practical resolution adopted by the
late Democratic State Convention, was the fol-
lowing:
ReSOiced, That the Democratic administration,
both State and National, are entitled to the con-
fidence of the Democracy for the fidelity with
which they have conducted our public affairs
This is fair and explicit. We are left in no
doubt as to the position or purposes of the party
in this state; nor can the people be in any doubt
of what is required of them by this resolution.
1t is Barstow for the state and Pierce for the ma
ton. They are entitled to confidence for
the fidelity with which they have administered
the affairs of the state and nation, and we are to
endorse them, encourage them, and repose in
them for the future. Barstow is bearable. Our
young state with its mighty energies is able to
survive such tax and weight upon both its mo-
raj and physical powers as Barstow and the lee
ches who are fattening upon our blood with him.
But we ask our people-we ask them in all cam
dor-if it is probable our nation can long survive
such influences as are now at the head of it, and
which we are called upon to endorse and sustain.
We pass over Pierce's crushing opposition to all
our harbor improvements and northern interests
generally. That is only treason to property
But for his treason to humanity, in his assaults
upon the constitution and union, by which both
are on the very brink of destruction does he re-
ally deserve our confidence and support! This
Democratic Convention thinks so, and they pu.
the matter fairly to the people. They ask for
support for their ticket on this issue, and they
propose to make its success clear and unequi-
vocal endorsement of Pierce So let it be-
This is the complexion which we expected
this matter would assume. We have repeated
ly told the men who professcd to oppose Pierce
and his administration, and vet chung to the De-
mocratic party, that there was no middle ground
to occupy. They must repudiate the whole con-
Germ and turn their backs upon it, or support
Pierce to the fullest extent and to this condition
are they now Enthusiastically brought Some
will vindicate their manhood by open opposition
to this degradation to which it is sought to reduce
them. But we expect the majority to follow
FAINT words of Pierce and his administration,
endeavor to bring the people to their own level
of servile dishonesty.
In opposition to this we call attention to the
platform of the Republican party. Reader and
voter where shall your influence be cast in this
strict The issue is plain and unmstakeable.
If You wish to endorse Barstow and Pierce vote
for their ticket. If you wish to condemn them
and vote for reform in the state and national go
vernments, then vote the ticket which rests on
the republican platform.

REPUBLICAN,
STATE CONVENTION.

This body assembled in accordance with the
call of the Central Committee, at Madison, on
Wednesday, the 9Th of September.
1t was permanently organized by the appoint
ment of CHARLES BURCHARD, of Dodge,
President; JAMES MAXWELL and BYRON
PAINE, Vice Presidents; E. M. Randall, ). c.
Corer, Secretaries.
Upon receiving the credentials of delegates it
was found that PIP were present, and that every
district in the State was represented.
Before proceeding to ballot for candidates to
compose the Republican State Ticket. Byron
Paine offered the following resolution, which was
adopted by reclamation:
Resolrcd, That the fundamental principles OF
the Republican party are based upon the equal
rights of all men; that those principles are utter
ly hostile to the prescription of any on account
OF birth place, religion, or color; and that this
Convention is opposed to all secret political or
CARNATIONS which favor such prescription OF
adopt secret measures and take upon themselves
obligations inconsistent with the Republican
faith and with fair and honest action as members
of the Republican Party.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot for
candidates, with results as follows:

Resoiped, That we recommend all the other
candidates of this Convention to the people OF
the State as eminently qualified for the respect
i've offices to which they are nominated and de-
serving a cordial and enthusiastic support and
triumphant election.
Mr.. Booth, from the committee appointed foi
that purpose, reported the names of the follow
ing persons as State Central Committee for the
ensuing year, which report was accepted and
adopted by the Convention.

sion of one day. adjourned sine die.

The Republican State Ticket.

To-day we fling our banner to the breeze in
scribed with the ticket nominated by the late Re-
publican State Convention, and we do it with
Convention and its proceedings, and looking at
and closely scanning the ticket, we do not think
of an incident of the former or name on the lat
ter that we could wish suppressed or changed.
There were present in Convention PA dele
gates-within eight of the whole number called
for-the largest political delegated convention
ever assembled in the state; which we consider
significant of the deep interest felt by the whole
people in the questions which now divide parties.
The proceedings ofthe convention were not mar
red by breath of discord or dissatisfaction which
is significant that the Republican principle has
an influence in the party greater than local or
personal, or any and all other interests. 1t
should prove an instructive lesson to our oppo-
nents, who seem to base much of their hope of
success on what they are pleased to term the in
congruous and discordant elements of Republi-
canism.
We are personally acquainted with all the no.
minees on this ticket, but were it necessary, we
have not time now to particularize their merits.
They were selected with reference to their known
devotion to the Republican principles, their ge
neral integrity and their special fitness for the
respective places to which it is proposed to cal
them. We say it in no mere electioneering spi-
rit, but honestly and candidly, that in all these
particulars they are irreproachable. 1t is an
celent ticket. 1t is worthy the support of the
whole people, and we are sure its success will
be in harmony with the honor and best interests
of the State.
We were present at the Convention and feel
that it was good for us to be there. We are en-
couraged. We did not before lack faith of the
triumph of our principles, but when we saw the
people thus gathering from every quarter of the
every personal consideration and every minor
interest were laid upon the altar of the Republi-
can principle, and were brought in contact with
and experienced the deep feeling and fixed pur-
pose which animated the members, and moreover
witnessed the perfect and entire oneness of the
whole body in reference to the grand purpose
we had no further fears. The fiat has gone forth
The denominations which have prevailed in our
state government will come to an end on the last
day of December next and what is of more i'm
portance, if it has not already been done, Wis
consn will then be stricken from the roll of states
which are expected to uphold the present and
prospective wickedness of the sham democracy
of the nation. The good time is at hand.

20 The Free Democrat, Mr.. Booths paper
cordially and earnestly supports the Republican
ticket. This is rather a bitter pill to the oppo
sition who were so foolish as to calculate on his
opposing it. They will learn in time, perhaps
that free discussion pertains to republicanism
and that man can utter his opinions honestly
and earnestly against the wrongs and errors
which are apt to grow up in connection with all
parties, without necessarily arraying himself
against the great objects of his party. When
the Hunkers get any aid and comfort from Mr..
Booth we shall expect to learn the fact.
