independent of that office, have seen but two or
three which support Lincoln, and they talk very much
as if they would really prefer to be excused --A'1cG
Zee Meas.
The Milwaukee NegS is evidently trying
to deceive somebody 1t is habit it has, and
the habit has become chronic, so that if the
truth would answer its purpose much better
than falsehood it would still choose the latter
We do not know of republican paper in
the State that has uttered word in favor
of Fremont since his nomination, and we
have seen most of them. Nor have we seen
republican paper of the State that does not
support Lincoln, and that willingly and
zealously. The Milwaukee Ne1cs, the Apple
ton Gre scent, Marquette EapreSs and the
Ozaukee Co. AdUertioer are about the only
papers in the State that we have seen, which
have approved of the Cleveland Nomination
Nor let any Fremont man hatter himself
with the idea that those papers will support
Fremont They are all of the most inveterate
copperish hue, and will support the Chicago
| Nominee whether he be jeff Davis, Vallan-
digham or the Devil Of the three they would
prefer the first named probably as he is
their model christian statesman. Awaiting
the action of their own convention, they are
coquetting with the pathfinder, and try
ing to encourage faint Fremont demon
stration in the state, with the hope Of draw
| ing a few votes from Lincoln. But they are
wasting time in the effort. We candidly do
not believe, after this length Of time since
the Cleveland convention, that Mr.. Lincoln
will receive one vote the less for that nomi-
nation.
The Nelcs says further;
eff our information is correct, Gen. Ere
mont will receive a large republican vote i'll
Wisconsin. A prominent and reliable resi-
dent of Washington county informed us this
week, that more than one half the republican
voters of that county would vote for Ere
mont. We are also informed of several lead
ing republicans in the southern counties who
declare their intention to support Fremont"
We can assure the Ne,es that its inforna-
ton, lift ever received any such, is not cor
rect. All the Republican votes Fremont re-
ceives in Wisconsin, the editor Of the Meas
can put in his eye. without winking.
We don't know any thing about the ''prom-
ne,lt and reliable resident of Washington
county," but we venture to say he is not a
republican, and further, that he is entirely
mistaken as to the number of Republicans
in Washington county. There are not many
Republicans in that benighted and copper
head county, but what here are, are entire
! ly too sensible to throw their votes away in
any such manner.
Ia reference to the several leading re-
publicans in the southern counties, we pre-
| sumo the editor means Kenosha county, and
Only uses the southern to make his insin-
uations more general, and therefore less
| likely to be contradicted But we under
stand the allusion. Those several leading
Republicans" reside in this county and i'll
this instance several" literally means tac0.
One Of them is a delegate to the democratic
state convention, and the other is demo-
crat who became Disguised with democratic
dishonesty and extravaganza few years a
go, and has since been quite uncertain as to
the political status. He has sometimes voted
with the republican party and sometimes a.
gainst it, and we are not at all surprised to
learn that he goes i'll for Fremont
