mentary to the intelligence Of his readers
1t by any chance copy of the Banner
should stray of to distance and fall in
to the hands Of some sensible man who
should take pains to wade throuo h the
article We have been discussing, his YER
dict would undoubte lily be, 1.-THE man who
wrote that article is either fool, or a
knave who thinks he is writing for fools:
and the community which supports pa
per conducted in such a manner must be
decidedly behind the age aud lacking in
intelligence"
The only possible result which can
arise from the publication Of such absur
~dities by the Banner will be the revela-
ton of its own ignorance or knavery and
the casting of slur upon the common
sense Of the people of Jefferson, which
in our opinion is entirely unjust and un-
deserved.

noon meeting closed with more doggerel
composed for the occasion.
In the evening the courtroom was vel
filed to hear Judge Orion The Judge
has many friends in both parties, who are
always ready to listen to him upon any
subject. He said but few things with
which Republicans could find fault. Did
not believe in the total corruption Of the
Republican party, but thought there was
a leakage somewhere. Portrayed wildly
the magnitude of the war, its results up
On the country and the ravages of war
generally, Three years of peace had
failed to restore the Union, taxes were
not diminished and the South was grow
ing up to brambles.
To prove that this is white mans
government, The Judge traced the his
tory of our ancestors through Saxony and
Scandinavia, and reminded Us that the
whites in the South were descendants of
the Scots and Frenc h Huguenots tho t

able and wanting in christian forbearance
and forgiveness. Said tie radicals leased

TEMPERANCE CANDIDATE IN
THE PALMYRA DISTRICT.

We hayeEbeen informed that there is
an intention in the Fourth Assembly
District to run a candidate on temper
ance ticket provided the views of the reg
ular Republican nominee is not accepte,
BILE to the Temperance people of that Dis
trict. AS such a movement would al.
most necessarily result in the election of
a Democratic Assenblyman, we sincerely
hope our friends there will not engage in
it. The loss of a single member of thu
Legislature may imperil the election OF a
Republican Senator to succeed Senator
Doolittle. We feel confident Of success,
in Wisconsin, but we cannot afford to
take any thing on trust the emigra-
ton to our state for the last two years
has been unusually great hundreds and
perhaps thousands of naturalized citizens
will vote for the first time this Fall :
there will also be many fraudulent votes
cast, and loca! politics may affect the
complexion of the Legislature unfavora-
vorably. We should therefore take no
chances where interests of such vital
Importance are concerned.
The temperance cause has our kearti,
est sympathy and will receive our sup.
port whenever it comes up in form by
which a practical result can be obtained
But.as it is not now a general issue before
the people no good can possibly be reach
ed, even if the temperance candidate
should be elected. And very probably
much harm might result to the cause, if
the temperance people should, by obsti-
nateiy adhering to their purpose to run
candidate, bring about the defeat of the
Republican nominee, as many who might
otherwise support the temperance cause
when 1t should be made a public issue
might, through disgust and a desire OF
retaliation, re fuse it their aid We are
convinced that by far the wisest course
is, for US all to work together at present
and dispose Of the important questions be-
fore the people and then, when the tenn
perance question is made political issue,
to unite upon that and carry it forward
to triumphant termination.

SEYMOUR AS a SNEAK.

General PAINE, member of Congress
from the first district of the State, in his
recent speech at Milwaukee, brings to
light the following bit of history:
when the news of the fall Of Sumter
was received in this city, Governor Sey-
mour was stoppin- at the Newhall House.
The city, on receipt of the news, was ablaze
with Indignation, and Democrats and
Republicans alike burned to aVenge the
insult that had been offered to our flag.
A meeting of business men, irrespecti!e
of party, Was held at the Chamber Of Com
meree, and stirring addresses were made.
Every voice was for war Some one men
toned that Governor Seymour was in
town, and 1t was 1t oEce resolved to have a
speech from him One of our most highly
respected cltizens-a personal acquaint-
ance OF Seymour 's--hastened to inform
him of the intended call. He was found
IN the ladies' parlor of the hotel, received
the Milwaukee gentlemen most cordially,
and represented himself III the best of
health. But when Informed that the
crowd would presently call upon him
for speech, he promptly replied that he
should not respond. But you must, said
his friend. The crowd will not take no
for an answer I shall not do it, said
Seymour. L don't know yet how this
thing is going to turn, and [ shall not
speak. You must tell The crowd hat I
am SICK and cannot respondP The Mil
waukeean refused to tell,this falshood, and
turned and left tie great statesman.
Shortly after, another of his aequaintances,
also gentleman of high standing in this
community, waited upon him with the same
errand. He found Seymour in his room.
SICK, and was fairy deceived by his
counterfeit illness, and left him. Shortly
atterward, a committee of gentlemen called
upon the Governor, and fairly dragged him
out upon the balcony. He simply thanked
the crowd for the compliment, and excused
himself from speaking on the..score of sick
ness

WHAT THE DEMOCRACY WILL
D0IF TREY ARE SUCCESSFUL

TIE fourth resolution of the Democrat
ic platform calls for "equal taxation on
every species Of property according TO It's
real value, including Government bonds
and other public securities. Let us see
what this means. Congress has removed
the tax from over ten tt ousand different
articles which are constantly used by rioa
and poor The tax now levied is upon
spirits, fermented liquors, Gas, matches,
and a few other articles which cannot be
really ciassed as necessities. If tie Dem
ooratic party is successful in the coming
election, the sentiment Of the above re-
olution will be carried OFT. Eguaf taxes

IT, and you will se4 Democratic tax cash

by way OF the land demanding and col
lechng from you taxes upon
Your farm
Your house and lot.
Your horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poul-
try and other stock
| Your wheat, oats, corn and other grain,
hay fruit vegetables, and whatever else is
raised upon your farm.
Your reapers, plows, harrows, and all
agricultural implements.
Your wagons, carriages and sleighs, etc.
Your tools, with which you prosecute
your trade, be you blacksmith, carpenter,
wagon maker Or what not.

furniture,
The bed you sleep on.
And lastly, thu coffin and shroud in
which you are buried, after being worried
and harrassed to death by Democ attic tax
gatherers, under Democratic admins
ration which taxes everything equally.
And for what? ~
Simply that the bonds may be taxed.
Yes, the Democratic equality would
place tax upon nearl y seventeen billions
Of dollars worth Of property in farms,
live stock, houses, eatables, clothing, ETC.,
Tor the sake Of having tax upon little
more than ta0o billions Of dollars worth of
bonds, most Of which are held by persons
Of only moderate circumstances.
DO you want to pay this enormous tax?
1t you do, vote the Democratic party
into power, and, heavy as your taxes have
been in the past, they are nothing to
what you will bave to pay under Demo
cratic rule
Remember thot equal taxation, as ex-
pressed IN the Democratic platform, tores
everything.

a DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT.

| The editor of the Jefferson Banner
has struck lead which he evidently
thinks is very fine thing. but in follow
! ing it up he exposes pair of ears which
are perfectly asinine in their proportions.
For the purpose Of illustrating his ideas
| he introduces two persons who enter into
conversation on political topics; but he
succeeds IN illustrating the old saying
about 'two fools metz far better than
anything else. One Of these persons, a
Mr. Brown, is an ex-Radical, who, having
lately been led to see the error of his
ways, has gone over to the Democracy !;
he is Of course an imaginary character.
The other, Mr.. Smith, who for the
sake OF common sense, we hope is also
imaginary is radical neighbor who calls
on Brown to expostulate with him for
turning copperhead. But poor unso-
phisticated Smith catches a tartar in
Brown, for the latter squares himself and
proceeds TO deal out such a quantity of
stale eopperhead lies and exploded falla-
cles that Smith, who swallows a II as Cos
pei truth, sits perfectly aghast at the
enormity of radical corruption and usur-
patton which is being revealed to him. Of
course he begins TO see the errors of his
ways, acknowledges that there must be a
huge African in the radical fence, and
promising to call again, goes off with
load Of democratic documents, consisting
principally of Pendleton's speeches and
old copies of the Lacrosse Democrat.
To show the infinite foolishness of the
argument by which this demented radi-
cal was SO powerfully impressed, We give
single So acimen which is but a fair
sample OF the whole, and no more ridic-
ulous than the balance Of this remarkable
production. Mr.. Brown is made to saw
that the funded debt of the country is
$500, 1000, 900 and the floating debt which
must be paid is 81 900 900, 900, making
the total indebtedness of the country
81 800 900, 000-a statement which of
course is perfectly absurd, but which for
the sake of argument We viii not dispute.
But observe this statement which follows
-''the Republican party say all this
debt must be paid an gold, which at the
rate of As would be Sc, 525 900, 900 !v'
Poor Smith asks piteously, "can it be
that your figures are correct?" Brown
responds, faye, verify, and more too, for
| have under estimated them"
1t is needless to point out to the YER
lest novice that this ssgacious financ;ar
has included in his estimate, all the green |
backs, all the bonds and other securities
which are expressly payable in currency, /
and all the floating claims for confscated I
lands and cotton and for army contracts
and the like, which no one ever dreamed
OF beng payable in anything but curren-
cy, and which all amount in the aggre-
gate to at least s3,0oo,OO0,o 900. This verv
respectable sum having been put upon a
gold basis with the rest makes the little
error of sl,35OOOO,oOO in single item.
Now the Banner man may know better
than this and he may not, we would not like
to'rlsk money on either proposition, but in
either case bis article is not very compl-
