School District No. l.
MANITowoC, October

MANITowoC, October "a, 1868
To the Friends and Patrons Of School District
Ne. L:
In order that the pupils may make great
er proficiency in their studies, it has been
deemed necessary to make certain rules and
regulations by which the school shall be
governed. 1t is to be hoped you will see
the necessity for these regulations, and
that you will cooperate with US in enforce
ing them. The most important Of these
regulations is the one for attendance.
There Is no greater evil pertaining to
ahy school than irregularity of attendance.
1t inte.feres with the whole order and sys
TEN of the schools, is fatal to the improves
ment of such scholars, and is great an
noyance to the teachers How can more
punctual attendance be secured? We
think, by adopting rules that will apply to
the delinquents. When a-child Is regis>
tered at school, he ought to attend it. By
so doing, he will not only improve in his
st ldies, but will acquire the habit of pune
tuahty. Furnish your children with books
and send them to school regularly, and if
they do not improve then, it will be the
fault of the teachers.
Friends, teachers are your ldJ0rerS, and
it is your duty to know whether the teach
ers are worthy Of their hire or not. Go
and see them.
w. T. ELDRIDaE, District Clerk.

REPUBLICAN MEETING. Senator It. O.
HOWE addressed large audience at Turn
er Hall last evening. He defended the
Radical tax. eaters in their revolutionary
schemes, of course, and he allowed none of
his co laborers who have heretofore ad-
dressed the faithful here to 60 beyond him
in his abuse of the Democratic party and
its candidates. He was candid enough,
however, to make the following admission
concerning Mr. Villas:
8" have only casual acquaintance with
Mr.. Villas, but SO far as that acquaintance
extends, and so far as can learn, he is Z
gentleman of good abilities, of liberal edu-
cation, and of generous instincts. Ihdue
no doubt that, If elected, he wiU make a
faithful and efficient representative. /
know of no reason why a man who believes
In the political sentiments entertained by
Mr.. Villas should not vote for him.
He then proceeded to argue that Mr..
SAWYER should be returned to Congress as
a reward for what he has already done for
the district. The people of this district
know that MIR. SAWYER has done nothing
for them, and they know, too, that he is
deficient in all the qualifications of repre-.
sentative which Senator HOVE acknowl.
edges that Mr.. Villas possesses. They
will vote accordingly.

Why Mr.. Villas should be Sent to Con-
gress. and net Mr.. Sawyer.

Mr.. Villas should be sent to Congress
from this district because he is pre- emf
nently man of better qualifications for the
position than his opponent, Mr. SAWYER,
he Mr. Villas being admittedly man OF
fine natural endowments, liberal educaflon
and culture; of open hand and generous
heart; vide awake and energetic; posses
ed of an independent mind, high sense
of honor, and of the very strictest integrity.
He is every way worthy, and would honor
any constituency.
Mr.. SAWYER should not be returned to
Congress again for the reason that he lacks
every essential quality required to make up
fit and proper representative. 1t is noto>
rious that he is the most illiteratc man on
the floors of Congress. 1t is also notorious
that he is totally unable to frame any bill,
write report of any committee, or speak
an intelligent word in support of any meas
ure, and is utterly destitute of every requi
site of legislator, and is, while there,
merely supple tool in the hands of ADLER
men.
He should not Re sent there for other
very grave reasons, widely circulated and
not denied. 1t is ringing through the dis
trict now that heretofore he has bought his
elections aud that he is now engaged in the
same nefarious work, using his great wealth
to buy his seat in Con gress. as he formerly
did, and thus corrupting the morris of the
people and disgracing the district.
Let the people frown upon the man who
rests his claim to perpetual lease of this
exalted position upon the amount of his
"greenbacks' and the use he makes oi
them, and rebuke him by giving an over
whelming vote for our honored neighbor
| JOSEPH Villas.

THE PRESIDENCY.
Address Of the Democratic National
Committee.
New York, Oct. 81, 1868.

New York, Oct 81, ISGS.
The Democratic national committee have
issued the following address,
New York, Oct. 81, 1868.
Fellow Citizens 1t is great privilege
and duty to address you on this great bat
tie which we are to fight, and which is to
decide whether the government of this re-
public is to remain toui years more in the
hands of the Radical party, or whether,
by an ener getic, united, and last effort, you
will Trest the power from its grasp, and give
to us, under Democratic, conservative ad-
ministration, Government based upon
principles of justice, economy, and consti-
tutional liberty. The Issues of the present
campaign are selfeevident They appeal to
the intelligence and patriotism of every vo-
ter in the most unmistakable terms. They
have been addressed by distinguish orators
of our party since the nomination Of ouf
candidates.
What the Democratic party intends TO do,
if placed in power by your sutfrages, is to
restore peace and union to our country to
heal the wounds and sufferings caused the
rebellion to give to the people Of the
South the rights to which they are entitled
under the. Constitution, and by which, a,one
we can bring back prosperity and quiet to
that distressed section to reduce material
~ our military and naval establish ment,
kept up now on an immense scale and at an
enormous cost to introduce into syery de-
partment Of the Govern ment the strictesl
economy, and to develop, by an equitable
system of imposts and taxation, the grow
/ ing resources Of our country, and thu,
place the Federal finances on staple and
solid footing and to pave the way to a
gradual and safe retarh to spcSie>payment
We are charged by the Radical party
the party of violence and usurpatiou
which, for the last four years, to prolont

that he has used his knowledge of the af-
fairs of our business men to their disadvan-
taee," &C. To such covert SANDERS we
have 10 reply to make The people will re-
ply to them next Tuesday, by triumphant
ly re electing Mr. BACH.
AS the rest of the candidates on the
Democratic ticket will not have the control
of any county printing, the Tribune has
nothing to say against them. For the same
reason it has nothing to say in favor Of the
Republican candidates for the same Offices
Democrats, do not he deceived by these
false charge. There is not voter in the
county who is not we'll acquainted with
some of our candidates We ask only that
you Judge of the whole ticket by those upon
it whom you do know, whoever they may
be. Do that, and we have no fears as to
the result.

MORE LoGIC-Our cotemporary, last
week, in presenting to its readers Its
reasons why they should vote for the Re-
publican candidates, submitted the follow
ing propositions:
Mr. BAETz has held the Office Of County
Treasurer for the past two years. A man
who has held q public Office for two years
has become familiar with its duties, and
should be re elected Therefore, Mr..
BAETZ should be reelected.
Mi BACH has held tho Office of Clerk
of the Board for the past two years A
man who has held public Office for two
years knows too much for the benefit of
the people" and should not be reelected.
Therefore, Mr.. BACH should not be re-
elected.
Strange there should such difference be,

Vote For Hon. Joseph Villas.
From the Marquette Fxpress

I rom the Marquette Express.
There are SO mauy reasons why Joseph
Villas should be elected to Congress, aside
from party considerations, that we caunot
give them all in detail, but still We will give
sufficient evidence to satisfy all unpteju-
diced voters.
First, then, We will state tn. r, ason why
Mr.. Saw. er shy uld not be returned to Con-
gress, to wit: This district cannot afford
to sei,d man so ignorant and inefficient as
Mr.. Sawyer. This portion of Wisconsin
has vital and important interests to be look
ed after in Congress, which have been put
10 ability or talent to carry 1t through.
Mr.. Sawyer has spent three years in Con-
gress, and during all that time he has not
offered a single resolution in favor of the
Fox River Improvement. And all the
oter local improvements nave suffered for
the. same reason-ien rance and the polite
al opposition OF Mr.. Sawyer and Senator
Howe to in ernal improvements If Dir.
Sawyer had saved the snoant of his extra
salary to this improvement, it would have
helped some but of course his own pock-
cts would now be quite lank, after spending
so much for bis re- election.
Lit ia too expensive tor the people to keep
such man in Congress. Mr.. Sawyer has
showed conclusivey his Object in desiring
scat in Congress, by tremendous steal Of
pine lands about year ago, which is as
follows, as the records Of the land Office
will show From some cause, either by
mistake or detigp, a fire ran through a
large tract Of piIe coun,ry in the northeast
portion Of this State, and backened the
timber. Without producing any jury what.
ever. Mr. Sawyer got it returned as burnt
district, had it brought into market, and
bought it himself at twenty five cents an
acre, making the nice little sun of two
Hundred thousand dollars. By all meaus
heep such men at home he people can
not afford to send hin back to Congress.
| Vote for Villas, because he is a man of
! superior education, with esisl tive expert
oncc, having been IN the State Senate, and
] because he is gentleman of ability and
strict integrity. We want men of influence
/ in Congress now il ever. Now is the turn.

failed to give it any a.eution Let US elect

These considerations are al outside Of
party considerations, and ought to be aufIi-
cent to elect Mr. Villas and defeat Dir.

A REMINDER Democrats % Manto-
voc, be reminded of these facts when you
are asked to vote for HENRY BAETz in
stead of GoTTLEIB DAIMLER, that BAETZ
seeks but his own interest and the damage
of the Democratic party. Remember, also,
that OTTo TRoEMEL, through his BAETz
influence, draws eight hundred dollars a
year for dischargng the mere nominal du-
ties of Village Treasurer, for which Mr..
HOES received one hundred and twenty
dollars, Mr.. TRoEMEL thus receiving six
hundred and eighty dollars more than Mr..

"CHEEK's ALL. Once more HENRY
BAETZ, the best known spoil hunter in the
county is running round from town to
town, and house to house, begging the
votes of Democrats for the Office of County
Treasurer. Withhold your hand from
him anG bid him try some other calling, If
but for once, I've believe he has never done
anything since he came into the county but
hold Office and seek for Office, and vote for
GOTTLEIB DAIMLER, who is an upright,
honest and capable man, and who is, be-
sides, a good, true and tried Democrat.
Do not, by your votes, throw this office and
its patronage into the hands Of your ene-
mics, and then be laughed at for your
pains.

Get Out the Vote |!

We trust the following good, sound, sens
sible advice from the Milwaukee Nees will
not be unheeded by the Democrats of Man
itowoc county:
But few days remain before the grand
verdict of November
The time for influencing men by argu-
ment is substantially passed.
What is wanted now is a general move
ment in every town and ward in the State
to get out all Democratic electors on the Sd
of November and get int&the ballot box
THE FULL DEMOCRATIC VOTEI!
The votes Of men who stay at home cleo
tion day don't count-and the few luke
warm Democrats In each town who stay at
home unless urged to their duty or sent for
number thousands in the whole State !
Not to prepare efficiently and in advance
for bringing every laggard and doubtful
Democratic voter to the polls is to leopard
ize our candidates for Congress and posi-
bly, to sacrifice our, irrational candidates.
The Radicals will lose no vote. They
have appointed vigilance committees.
They have employed eanvassers. They
have engaged teams. They have hired
runners, and they have money with which
to influence the doubtful and corrupt.
But all this will do them no good if coun-
teracted by the legitimate means within the
control of the leading Democrats Of every
precinct.
Such counties as Milwaukee and Wash
ington, Nzaukee and Manitowoc, Dodge
aud Brown, ought to increase their major
tiles one-quarter or one>half over those OF
an ordinary election
Such counties as Rock and Walworth
Green Lake and Winnebago, ought to re-
duce the radical Dajorlties below any pre-
vious figure
Remember that it is not always an in
crease in the actual number of Democratic
votes that assures satisfactory resuit-bui
the reiattrc Increase If you had two Dem
ocratlc votes to one Radical year ago,
make them three to one now Or if il
was one Democratic vote to two Radica
votes last year, make it more than one to
two this year!
Candidates and committee men-Demo

BACKING ONES FRIENDS" Judge
Howe has queer way of backing his
friends. For example: at the recent
Oshkosh Radical pow WOW, he said:
Il admit Mr.. Sawyer's want OF educa-
ton. That is his misfortune
Most people don't think so, when they
speak Of an ignorant American born and
brought up in Northern State. A mis-
fortune" to such an one to lack education
when the facilities to obtain it are and have
been so abundant for the last half century
or more? A man can educate himself, and
if Mr.. Sawyer lacks education, as the Hon.
II. 0. Howe, Radical U. S. Senator, and
Capt A. Haight, a prominent member of
the Republican State Central Committee,
both assert, there is no apology for him.
He has now been four years in Congress
and knows enough to vote for every Radi
cal abomination, usurpation and extrava-
gance offered We think it time to elect a
man more literally educated one who is
educated to know and maintain the Right.
