We are especially graiitied at this wise action
OF our Republican friends in the Badger State
and have doubt that the result ot the election
will prove that their course has been iudicious
We are gratihcd TO see such men placed as

If there i one State which. more than any nfh-

of men IN hign places of trust. hat State Is Wis

pres, uted for the surages OF the electors of this
State In this respect II compares most advan-
tageously with the Democratic ticket. From

advantage ia the character ability aud expert
