The Best Work to be Dene.

"A full Democratic vote in this State will
unquestionably be Democratic victory
The very best work to be done between
this and election is the work which will get
out the Democratic voters. The Democrat
who, IN this county, town or neighborhood,
will bend his energies to getting out the vote
will do the cause more service than the
ablest orators and best writer's. Never we're
the earnest labors of every patriot required
as now. Let the friends of good govern
ment triumph here as they have in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, as they will in New
York, and our danger is at an end. There
after the real work of reconstruction will 60
forward in peace to speedy prosperity.

1884 100000 for the ARMY.

" The Radicals expended this sum on the
army last year. 1t was more than two
hundred millions of dollars IN excess of
what they should have expended But
most of this money went into their Freed
mems Bureau and other Radical election
eering machines The annual payment of
this enormous sum to the extinguishment
Of the National debt, adding to the pay
ment the amount of reduced interest every
year, would pay off the debt in ten years,
and establish a specie currency in four
years. ."-Ecchange.
These Radicals, in order to maintain their
party ascendency, would continue to add,
annually, three or four hundred millions Of
dollars to the present National indebted
ness, to be represented by bonds exempt
from taxation, and while such bonds would
bring only 60 cents on the dollar, in gold,
they would have them reduced in gold at
their nominal value for the benefit of capi-
talists, and to protect the National honor,
and all at the expense of the laboring in
dustrial masses! Those who would keep
up this standing army in time of peace,
at the annual cost of $2S4,OOO, 900, will
surely vote the Republican ticket.

Loss OF THE PACIFIC. Many of the early
settlers of Manitowoc will remember the
old steamer Pacific which carried many a
passenger from this port to Milwaukee =
The Milwaukee Seattael thus reports her
dissolution
Tho barge Pacific, loaded with lumber
from Muskegon for Chicago, broke away
from the propeller Nes0 Era, on Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning, and drifted
upon the beach abont midway between
Muskegon and Grand Haven, where she
soon went to pieces. Five men, compris-
ing nearly her entire crew, were swept
overheard aud drowned. The Pacific will
be remembered by our citizens as popular
passenger steamer which piled between this
city and Chicago, in Wards line. She
was afterwards fitted out as barque, and
as suci,, did good service. Finally she be-
came the property of Galcn Eastman, Esq,
OF Grand Haven, who stripped her Of her
outfit and converted her into barge. She
was built at Newport in 1913, aud measur-
ed 4G2 tons burthen old style"

PRESIDENT LINCoLN's EsTATE.-An in
ventory Of President LINCoLN's estate,
filed in the courts of Sansamon county, ILL.,, g,
on the Goth of November, 1866, shows that
he had SO, ,4S2 invested in Government Sc
curities at the time of his death, which,
with other sums, notes Of hand and real
estate In his possession, would swell the
amount of bis property to $4,000. This,
with the $25, 900 voted his widow by Con
gress, makes the total foot up to SllO, 900,
This is exclusive of real estate, of which
there is the homestead property in Spring
field and 260 acres of land in Iowa. 1t is
thci iefore impossible that Mrs. LINCOLN s
statement in regard to her income being
but 100 should be true, unless the prop
erty has been squandered.

The Late Elections.

The result of the Ohio election is as yet
so far in doubt that it is thought nothing
but the official count will determine the
issue. The Cincinnati Enquirer calls on
the Democracy not to yield the Governor
ship. The Democrats have majority of
ten on joint ballot, a change from the
Radical majority of the last body of forty
six.
Full returns from Sc out of &C counties
in Penn ylvania give judge SHARswooD
3,774 majority. The counties still to hear
from officially gave the Democratic ticket
1876 majority last year, so that the con-
test is over, and Pennsy lvania gone for sap
athy" by a gain of some twenty thousand.
In Montana territory, JAMES NJ. CAvA-
NAUGH (Dem.l has been elected delegate
to Congress by majority of l,l0S, as
shown by official returns, over SANDERS
(Radical)
In Connecticut, full returns from all
the towns show a return Of 50 Democratic
towns and 73 Radical Democratic ma
jority, 9.
Scattering returns from INDIANA show a
Democratic gain of4 ,232
In Iowa, MERRILL Rad is elected Gov
ernor, but returns so far show Democrat
ic gain in 81 counties of 5,S3S. Sixty
nine counties are yet to hear from, and in
dicatons are that the Democratic gain will
be great

nga- SANTA ANNA has finally received
his sentence. He is to be banished from
Mexican territory for eight years. If the
old intriguer is wise he will make it pei
petual exile by returning to his comfortable
home on Staten Island, and remaining
there the rest of his life. AT the end of
eight years lie will be too old to make an
available candidate for the Mexican Presi-
dency, and after his last experience of the
ingratitude of Republics, he will not feel
desirous of going back to Vera Cruz as a pri-
vate citizen.

BISCUIT A LUXURY FOR ALL.-The pop
ular notion that people suffering from dys-
pepsia or predisposed to that disease, should
not eat biscuit, has grown out of the fact
that the common Saleratus has been used
in the making of sue j biscuit. And it was
right; the article is mi>chevious. But light
and healthy biscuit, such as dyspeptic pco-
pie may eat with impunity and with posi-
tive benefit, are made from D. B. De Land
& Co.'S Best Chemical ,Solratus. Ply
sicians admit this.

The Democratic Nominations.


Above j. the ticket presented to the Dem
ocrats Of Manitowoc county hv their repre-
sentatircs in Conventions, last Saturday,
From all portions nf the county we learn
that these nominations meet with a warm
greeting By the people, and that they will
l,e heartily supported at the polls on e'cc
ton dav. Our time and health will not
permit us to speak at length Of the qualifi
cations Of the several candidates, and it is
unnecessary to do so, as they arc all well
and lavorahly known to the people.
.JosEpn FRANCL, the nominee for Clerk
of the Court, has held that position one
term before, ard for the last two years has
occupied and done the business Of the Office
as Deputy for MIR. PIERCE. No one who
has had business with him will say that he
has not been kind, faithful, and gentleman
ly in the discharge of his duties
For School Superintendent, Mr. Grow
LEY was re nominated by nearly an unani-
mous vote, and without solicitation on his
part. This would be an improper place to
say anything in his behalf, and we leave
him in the hands of the people Of the
county, to have them do with him as they
please. He has cndcavorcd to do his duty
to the public, and awaits its verdict at the
polls.
JOHN G. EGGERs was nominated for
County Supervisor at Large, and it is SUI
Ill Ill
lie has grown up in the county, is known
by every man in it, and is respected by all.
lie has filed some of the most responsible
Offices with credit to himself and fidelity to
the people. Give him rousing vote
The nomination of Mr. BouNE to repre-
sent the First Assembly District in the As
sembly, is most excellent and judlcious
one. He is highly intelligent farmer, and
a heavy property holder in the District
The people can rely upon their interests be-
ing protected by him, and they owe it to
themselves to see that he will be elected by
a heavy majority.
Mr.. GALLoGLEY received the nomination
for County Supervisor of the First District,
substantial evidence of the respect and es-
TEEN in which he is held by his neighbors.
lie, too, is substantial farmer, and iden-
tilted with the interests and prosperity of
the county. Strong efforts will be made in
that District to defeat Messrs. BoHNE and
GALLo6LY, and the Democrats must use
more than usual diligence to prevent such
o result.
In the Second District, RICHARD DoYo.
VAN was nominated for Member of Assem-
bly,. He Is one of the Oldest and most in
telligcnt men in the District, and not a
word of reproach can be uttered against
him. His town has many times honored
him with its most responsible office-Chair-
man-the duties of which he always trans
acted with perfect satisfaction. He will
make a true and faithful representative.
In the same District, g. s. LoRIGAN and
THOMAS MoHR were nominated for County
Supervisors the former for the two years
term, the latter for one year. Mr.. LORI
GAN has served his District faithfully for
two years in the same capacity, and al
though the SANDERS Of the Smut .Kachiae
Laye attempted TO injuie his reputation,

ENTERED THE HARBoR-The steamer
Sea Bird entered our harbor on Wednes-
day morning, and gallantly steamed up the
river until she came alongside the M,uto
'coc, upon whose deck some machinery was
placed for the new boat. We believe the
small steamer Champion was the first side
wheel steamer to enter our river several
years ago, and that the Sea Bird is the
second steamer of that class.
