ShANDLEh, VI Tic 1AudulS NOuHty lfuC-
pendent, thus confesses to the nausea which
the denomination Of Randall fer Governor
gives him. 1t doesn't need any comment,
though we beg the liberty of remarking
that "biled owl" wouldn't 60 down with
us, no matter what party placed it on our
dish. We have tolerable swallow and
not a very delicate stomach, but when the
party with which we act forgets propriety
so far as to place a great fool OF a great
knave in nomination to quiet his nerves, we
don't often ask anybody how to vote ! We
hold that "all reformatons must begin in
the Church, If there is "biled owl y
ON any ticket in Iowa, the readers of the
Times are advised "to pass him."
Dear Constituents !: I've been to State
Convention, and participated in its actions
With portion of the result, I'm eminently
satisfied, nay, proud. OF another portion,
must say, Ireturn to support it with an
inward sensation that | am swallowing a

fool themselves by re-nominating Governor
Randall. More recently, it became appa-

And such a speech! Why, there was no
more dignity about it than there is in the

We make no bones of saying that the
arrangement was pill to us. But we're
good at pill-taking-have taken 'em before
We advocate that an essential requisite to
party fealty, is to learn the art of pill
king with grace. We shall vote for A.
w. Randall, the Lord being willing, and
ask everybody else to. Our feelings in the
premises are like those of the swain who
boasted to the cook that he could eat any
thing that she could boil. She boiled an
owl and seasoned it with snuff. The swain
gobbled away at it, and turning to the grim
ming cook, said, "Tll let yer know Kin
cat billed owl; but dent banker arter it !"
Neither do we banker arter" Randall S
election We beg to stake our character for
sagacity that it will be tight squeeze" if
he is elected. 8
We offer to give our own opinion that
Milwaukee county will give 1000 or 5000
majority for Hobart, and that our majorities
in old Rock and Walworth can't overbal-
anee any such figures. We hope there is
stability enough in our organization to elect
-our whole ticket. We hope all the sore
delegates who voted for Randall can seat
owl I" as well as we can. We hope Sena-
tor Bennett will conclude that His Excel
lency had better not have turned summer
set at the close of his speech, to render
the farce complete Wehope Jim Knowl-
