C. F. HOYT, Sec.

The Menomonee Zimmerman closes a
review tf Regiments speech at that place
rs follows:-- ..r ~.
Z We close this lengthy article, by re-
.peating the best hit the speaker made
during the evening. 1t was an anecdote
of General Worth in Mexico, and Rev
inert told it to answer the query, what
inducement he had to run FOR Congress.
"Worth Was dangerously wounded, and
his surgeons were standing around him
in despair. The General, rousing up,
enquired if there was any "hope in his
case Z" The answer was, "that there was
one chance in thousand for bis recos-
eryp "Why tho desil Them replied
the General. 'adon't you work at that
chance~ Reymert would have us be-
lieve, that he thought his case no more
desperate than General Worhs, and be
is acorking away at that chance.

Now John is obnoxious to portion Of
the party, and there is feeling among
some to oppose the election Of the ,Repub-
ican County ticket because John ''run''
the Convention.
AT the present writing we are not in
formed whether an independent peoples
ticket WILDE placed in the field or moi
but if such ticket is put UP, the only
chance of its success is to stigmatizc the
Republican ticket rs tie John Dale tick
ct, and SO strive to create an opposition to
it. Every one admits that the Repnlli-
can ii, ket is worthy onc--no objection
is urgel against tho persons of its noni,
nees, but only against the Influence by
which twas nominated. Now we wish
Republicans to consider whether this
argument is of sufficient. force TO war
rant them in destroying the Republican
organization in Tho county.
1t is well known that for several years
the organization was completely in the
hands of a few politicians in Prescott
1t was 'srun' by them to suit their pur-
poses, and the first time those leaders
were beaten was in The nomination of
Chas. B. Cox, last fall. Now admitting
that John Dale has controlling influence
in the party at present, is this fact any
more alarming, than the fact that previ-
ouslv some one else had this power
Admitting he controlled the Convention
did he not give us an excellent ticket.
But this charge that John Dale con-
trolls the party is an utterly idle and
sensc!ess one. There are probably a do
zen members Of The party in this county
who have stra niger personal Influence
than John, and they are: not "run" By.
HIN or by any other man. John sue
ceeded in some of his wishes in the
nomination Of county officers simply be-
cause other influential members of the
party agreed with him. In this town
the defeat of Mr.. Southw;ck is,attribute,
to John, but it should be remembered
that the strong Republican towas of Trim
belle and Clifton, were rs strongly in ia
vor of Mr. Ames as River Falls was in
favor of Mr.. Soutliwick.
The friends OF the defeated candidates
admitted the Convention to be regular
one by going into it and laboring to Sc
cure their nomination ut its hands,
Now John Dale may haze made foolish
and boastful assertions MS to his power
but we ask if this affords sufficient cx-
cuse for Republicans to desert their or
ganization, anil C. a'esce with DEM
ocrats to defeat ticket which is conced-
ed to be an unexceptionable one. We
think not. Il .ae. -, ...,ss :
