Bur for the course of the CHRONICLE
we firmly believe the entire Republican
ticket would have been elected. Tribune.
nws The writer Of the above must be
either very stupid ar very dishonest. We
have shown, and figures haze shopm that
Major Otis was defeated in the northern
las well as southern) district. 1t is plain
to every sensible person land reference
to the official vote will show that in towns
where the " course of the CHRONICLE had
no more effect to injure him than it had or
the price of gold in New York, he was be
hind his party vote. The course o
this paper did NOT defeat Mr.. Otis, and tn,
editors of the Tribune know it.

Editorial CORRESPONDENCE.

Editorial Correspondence.
Election being over and returns enough
having been received to indicate, beyond
doubt, that General Grant was the .Presi-
dent elect, and that Major Otis was, not
withstanding the herculean efforts of his
friends, greatly distanced by his opponent,
Mr.. Strong, in whose favor the majority of
the voters of Iowa county request him to
resign the charge of his office in January
next-the senior concluded he might be
spared from the sanctum for few days,
and so started for Chicago on Friday af-
ternoon last.
The weather was fine, and the ride to
Arena lovely. We noticed one or two
tllreshing-machines at work along the road
but most Of the threshing in the county
is done, and. the farmers are generally
busy doing their fall blowing. We were
repeatedly hailed by men anxious to hear
the news of the election, both from abroad
and in our own county. The rejoicing at
the election of General Grant appears to be
quite general Democrats who voted for
Seymour openly admit that they wished
Grant to be elected; but, despising turn
coat, voted with their old party. The fact
is, Gen. Grant has the confidence of the
people North, South, East and West, and
no one fears mischievous results from his
election.
AT Arena we put up with Kirby, that
genial old fellow, who has served seven
years in the British army two years on
the sondon police; travelled all over the
world; beeta. twenty five years n America,
and is said to be proof against humbugs
of all kinds By the way, his hotel is not
humbug. He keeps one of the pest
country hotels in the State.
That little disturbance at Arena on the
night of the election, mentioned in the
last issue, cost the perpetrators close on
to $275. O0-rather an expensive "spree."
Business appears quite lively in Arena
John De Bcos is doing quite heavy trade.
Other merchants are not far behind. The
place is steadily growing, and business in
creasing.
We took the 1890 train for Milwaukee,
arriving in that fourshing city at 7:30 A.
NJ. On the cars we met an old friend. a
Mr.. Jones, who kindly called to see US
some five years ago while sick in military
hospital at Racine. He is now in business
at Beloit. Success to him
At Madison we were joined by Hon
VIM. Charlton, who has several times rep
resented the fifth Assembly district of
Dane county in the Wisconsin Legislature,
and has just been reelected treasurer of
his county. We passed several hours of
the otherwise dreary night in animated
conversation with this cultivated gentle
man.
At Milwaukee we also put up with "Kir-
by" at the Kirby House, frst-class, well
kept hotel. W.. W.

: HE OOCJtlne CnaL all is falT Ill pOit
TICS has been so long promulgated by GER
tain leading politicians that many are led
to believe it. But long experience in
political life has convinced us that straight
forward, fair dealing in political matters,
is Just as essential to ultimate success as
in the ordinary transactions of life. We
are not surprised at the resort to unfair
means in conducting a political campaign
by some Of our political opponents whose
hungerings for political power are so great
as to lead them to almost any subterfuge
to crafty it, but we are surprised that our
contemporary of the Dodgeville Chronicle
should so far forget himself as to resort to
so unfair means as to publish different edi-
tons of his paper for different localities,
as was the case last week. p Tribune.
~ We have never, either through the
columns of this paper or in any other
manner, advocated the doctrine that al
is fair in politics. nor do we believe i.
We entirely agree with our neighbor. OF
the Tribune in regard to straight for
ward, fair dealing" &C. But we can't see
that " publishing different editions for diff
ferent localities" was I" unfair" or at all in
consistent with the theory we profess tc
believe. Many papers issue three or fou1
editions containing different matter. Il
there anything "unfair" about that? Oul
article was an appeal to the voters in thu
northern portion of the county to support
|
men who would help Dodgeville and it
institutions. 1t adverted to, without any
desire to renew the old county-seat con-
test. 1t was intended for the northern
edition only and the northern edition onl,
contained it. 1t was not expected that i
would help Mr.. Otis in the southern dis
trict, and it could not injure any of GU
readers in that part of the county if it wa
omitted in the southern edition and there
fore it was omitted. Did stump speakers
on either side, use the same arguments il
every town they spoke in? If not, wa
there anything" unfair" about that? W
have shown that Major Otis would have
been defeated whether our article had bee
published or not And
We haze no Grape to aoear for the defed
of SOME men on the Republican ticket!
We can explain this remark if it b,
comes necessary.
