CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.

a correspondent writing from this
| place to the Oshkosh Northeastern over
the nom de plume of 'Winglet" the
following in regard to our candidates for
Congress
As matter of course, the question
who shall be Congressman" partaking
as it does of strong local interest, is the
most agitated. Many of the Democrats
who were so confident of the election OF
Mr.. Villas are beginning to say "Wcll
it is rather doubtful, ,: ''It will be close
thing" &C., all Of which is highly sug-
gestive of preparation of defeat.
Some who enthusiastically placed Mr.. VS.
majority in this county as 1900 1000
have cody brought it down to 500 or 1000
The Republicans hope to bring it still
lower in November.
A week or two ago Mr. Villas returned
from an electioneering tour in the west
ern part of the district. Since that time
he has not been quite so sanguine of his
election He is reported to have said to
his confidential friends that he did not
meet that encouragement that he had
reason to expect. As natural sequence
he has begun to draw in his purse string
and openly declares that he t1i.t spend no
more money than he can decentiy dUOid
This will be rather hard on the Democrat
ic leaders in your section who we're so
anxious to have him run, on condition
that he would spend money enough to
redeem (as they term it, the district.
Mr.. Villas nomination was contingent
upon his spending money freely. Yet
the democrat papers howl about MIR. Saw
yer buying his election to Congress. As
early as the mi Idle of last August. Sam
Ryan, of the Appleton Crescent wrote
to prominent Democrat here asking
about Mr.. Villas for the nomination.
The whole was summoned up in this
question !" WI H. Villas spend has money
freely? II SO he can haze the non,sna-
ton T. What his answer was may easily
be surmised fromthe fact of his almost
unanimous nomination on the first ballot
Yet in he face of this such papers as
the Chiffon Times the Pilot of this &c
ami even Sam Ryan himself iii Il. Ore
cent set up howl of holy horror I
Philctus Sawyer was wealthy man.
There are but few who will see the diff
ference between the men on the score of
,cef{ti except indeed it may be this that
Mr. Villas has obta nd his wealth mostly
by inheritance while Mr. Sawyer requir-
ed his by his own industry, persever-
ance an ability. If Mr.. Villas is not
buying his way to Congress it is not
because he was not desired to do SO
by the very men that howl so terribly
about Mr. Sawyer's reported expenditure
of money, neither is it because he had
not agreed to do So.
We have been somewhat amused here
at the account of Mr.. Villas visit to Os-
kosh, published in the Times. Says that
wonderful paper: Mr.. Villas made a
brief but eloquent address to the assem-
bled crowd" That it was brief in fact Uery
brief, We do not doubt that it was eIo-
G7teat we think rather Munchausen -ish.
The next time they get him out | hope
they will have a reporter to take down
every precious word. People Of Mani
towoc would like very much to read one
u Joe Villas eloquent speeches.

Up THE WRONG TREE. Joe. Villas of
Manitowoc, in his electioneering peregrin
ations through this Congressional Dis
trict, came across a very able and gifted
Catholic clergyman in the western part
of the District, whose influence ne wished
to secure, Father @. ,as we shall call him
is gentleman of the old school, and pos
sesses considerable dinity of manner. Villas
in his first interview, was anxious to pro
duce a good impression upon the mind of
Father O., and consequently prepared to
put on his sweetest looks. When intro
duced to the priest, he remarked, "How
do you do NJ, g.? How is your health?
and then after pause. "HfO,0 IS Mrs
O. ?'
1t is needless to say that Father Q. 8
opinion of Mr.. Joe Villas was formed in
an Instant, and that he is now firm sup
porter of Mr.. Sawyer. Oshkosh North

abroad in the land. He was gifted with
great abilities, was useful in his better
days, and the most charitable thing that
can be said of his conduct, when his hand
might have stayed rebellion, is that he
was in the sere and yellow lea, ,complicat-
ed in the tolls of worse men, whose power
over him he had not the strength to
break. He retired to Wheatland, in
'61 has since written his biography, and
took but little part in the affairs of the

serving, cowardly cant. If the proceed
ings were justifiable at al and he was
guilty as proven, the Senator who would
turn back, or the paper that would sus-
tain him, that a mere political purpose
might be accomplished, merits the scorn
and execration of every true American.
1t has never been a party question to us,
and the distortion of it into this is
national disgrace and partisan crime.
The case is decided, and we abide the
than we now have to convince us that
johnson is not a criminal and that his
acquittal was not a grievous wrong to
our government. The Herald has as
serted that our views do not obtain "
with the leading press of the East, and
copies copiously from the subsidized
press to which we have referred. and
their gulls who aped their somersaults
and mimicked their tone. To show
what did obtain" with the Convention
we refer to the Sth resolution, and as to
the leading press, make the following
extracts from the New York Tribune
on the day of the first vote:
This day and the great deed it covers will
forever remain in history. No Senator can
be insensible to the verdict of history. 1t is
written that President of the United States
disgraced his high Office, profaned the law,
brought massacre and anarchy into these
States, and made the American name a scan
dal among the nations. 1t Is written that for
these crimes and misdemeanors be was brought
to the bar of the Senate and duly tried. The
case Is closed, the evidence has been told, the
arguments have been heard. The Senators
who fail to add to this history, that by their
vote the great criminal is Justly punished,
may we'll pray for oblivion. Especially those
Republican Senators who have steadily cham
pioned the policy which eliminated in this
proceeding, may well pause, before by their
votes, they write their names with the infa-
nous and degraded men, who In times of ma
tional rial sought TO betray their country.
If there were any vagueness in the issue, if
it were merely a technical and incidental pro-
ceeding, if we claimed to remove johnson for
Inidelity to the party that elected him, we
might well tremble at the precedent. The
issue is plainly this : Andrew johnson is
either a criminal or he is king. His acquit-
tai admits that any President may take a
judicial cognizance Of the laws. The Consti-
tuition gives him now the veto. The Senate,
by his release would make his construction of
a law as absolute and whimsical as that of an
Emperor. He may remove Grant, decline to
recognize Congress, cease the collection of
revenues, suspend the tariffs, do whatever
pleased his fancy, and say in defense "I re-
gard these laws as unconstitutional and
cannot execute them.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE TURN OF THE WHEEL.

Mr.. johnson having escaped" re-
movals, designations, appointments. con-
firmations and rejections are, and are to
be, the order of the day, Messrs. Sew.
ard and Randall are threatening to Gre
ate revolution by resigning. Stan
berry, who rendered his resignation as
Attorney General and travelled down to
the Senate with a pail full of intel
lectual whitewash to touch up the
Johnson sepulchre before the country
had his artistic mixture upset in a jiffy
by Butler, went to bed; got up when
matters looked more hopeful and has
been re appointed. The Senate with a
consistency that commends itself to the
American people, and the world, voted
johnson a transgr essor upon the law
and Constitution, Feb. 81. May 26th il
voted he was not, and May 80 it again
votes his action was demonstrations
and illegal" but Stanton's resignation
legalized and harmonized it with the
Constitution therefore 'Scofield is con.
frmed Secretary of War;" and the "per-
petual vacancy" can retire-to look
ing glass. The Hubbel-Langford fight is
ended-said by those present to have
been the hardest fought contest of the
session--and Mr.. Hubbel is rejected.
There has been an immense deal of
fuss over the matter-in the Herald.
Outside of that and the immediate per
sonal friends of the two gentlemen, we
presume nobody cared much. Mr.. Lang
ford has been an efficient, excellent Off
Ger he has also held the office for sew
eral years and could now well afford to
relinquish it to some other person who
might be just as faithful and deserving.
Mr.. Hubbell, from what information we
have had did not need the Collectorship
of Montana or any other office. The
Collectorship is a good office, the best
paying probably in Montana. Its labors
are not excessively arduous. 1t was so
many dollars to whoever won it, and
Mr.. Langtord was the successful party
He will continue to discharge its du-
ties and receive his pay. The peo-
pie ask that the incumbent be a good
citizen, honest and efficient. Further
than that it is not a matter of vital i'm
portance to others than their personal
friends who it may be.

THE Democrat, in its issue of May
2Sth, reiterates the assertion that the
Grand Army of the Republic is politi-
cal organization. 1t asks a very silly
question: Why its members will vote
for Grant in preference to Hancock, if he
is nominated, etc. We have the honor
to be q member of that organization.
We emphatically deny that it is a po-
litical organization, or that it would
throw any restraint upon a member in
making his selection. If a majority of
the organization vote for Grant it will
be because they think he is a better
man for the place. A nobler, more pa
triOtic organization does not exist in
this or any country. We can say now
that when the autumn elections have
passed when the day is gone by that
the imputation of its being organized for
political purposes, can be cast upon it.
the Grand Army of the Republic will be
.re-organized in Montana for the good
work it has to do. We have been can
did with the Democrat; we trust it will
accord Us truthful. In contrast with
this we call attention to the
telegram stating that the Dem
ocratic members Of Congress
asking the National Democratic Com
mittee to request Democratic soldiers to
form an organization TO participate in
the Democratic Convention. This is In
tended as political military organiza>
tion, with no other purposes in view.
How win the Democrat and Gazette rec
oncile themselves 10 the new situation
AFTER their intensified maledictions upon
an Organization devoid af political pur.
poses.

GRANT ACCEPTS.

The question as to whether Grant
would accept the nomination for the
Presidency is decided, and the declara-
tion, 4" endorse the resolutions" is all
she bond of faith the nation will ask of
U. s. Grant. 1t is unequivocal and un-
hesitating as satisfactory to the Union
party as Buchanan's assertion, "I am
no longer James Buchanan, / am the
Cincinnati Platform" was to the Demo
cracy in '56. The Presidency Grant
doubtless did not aspire to, and although
Randolph said that it was a position
never to be sought and never declined.
it was at the sacrifice of his individual
desires and in obedience to the de.
mand of the country that he enters
the great politica, arena as the
standard bearer OF the Union party. A
national man great in his goodness /;
firm and answering in the discharge of
duties in complete unison with the Re
publican party and expressing the no.
BILE truism that was the very secret of
Lincoln's wise administration-"a policy
plant to the will of the people," as the
principle that shall govern him, his
letter will add to the hosts of the Union
party who will be with him at the polit-
ical Appomattox in autumn.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Our conclusions are the result of some
thought. Studying condensation, we have
often to give the result of thought minus the
process by which it is arrived at. Doing FIVE
times the work of n political editor on the
eastern press, we may sometimes be justly Ii
able to sharp criticism.-[ Hollister, in Denver
News.
Few readers comprehend the world of
arduous necessity to which the above
opens the door, in which the editors of
small provincial papers live, move and
have being; if by courtesy their exis-
tence may be called life. 1t may seem
paradoxical that the country editor,
whose space is limited, does more work
than the city editor, yet it is true. The
city editor is in the center of the whirl-
pool, deluged with news. Everything
that occurs is saleable in his market and
he has plenteous room for storage. He
can dilate, amplify, eliminate, theorize,
reason, make propositions, argue to
a conclusion, propping his deci-
sion with precedents, and authori-
ties, and he is wise. The coun-
try editor is on the verge among
the waits. He must select that most
impo-tanI; drag it out from the maei-
strom discard that of second interest !;
Gull and keep the useful; condense,
strip of the verbal foliage that beauties
and embelishes it prune out precedents
and proofs give results, but not the
analysis, the deduction but not the
premises or process. He condenses !;
gives you concentrated food, to be by
you invested with the flesh of consider
alton and clothed in the garment of
ideas. For this he is credited with dip
pancy hasty, inconsiderate conclusions
and rash assertions. We oftentimes
uncharitably fiingthese taunts ourselves.
Yet this is unavoidable and in
creases labor. A writer can be
garrulous easily to be terse, pointed
and forcible, is difficult. A whirlwind may
topple giant, but it requires skill to
insert the rapier in the joints of his ar
NOR. 1t is the same with a whirlwind
of words, and the Spartan stiletto of
Lacones. As an editor is more or less
successful in giving you each day,
glimpses into the great, busy, seething
cauldron of the world, you may measure
his abilities, and labors. Considering
that one or two men do that in the
mountains which half score or half
hundred do In the Hub or on Manhattan,
you may have patience and forgiveness,
if your appetite is unsatiated. We viii
stop this, right here; nobody but a
country editor viii ever appreciate it.
