An Ohio exchange says that the
Democrats will have to quit poking fun
at Ben Buffers cross-eyes. They don t
look half so many different ways as the
Democrats in the different States this
year. Why, a Wisconsin Democrat
would be kicked out of the party in Ohio
as 'woolly head" and rice rersa.
"A Story has been persistently circu-
lated by the Democrats among temper
anec men alleging intemperate habits
against Gov. Fairchild. 1t should be
branded as a falsehood; as it is known
that Gov Fairchild in his personal hab-
It's is a strict temperance man.
Democrats of Wisconsin speak in
the highest praise of their platform, and
they have reason.to be proud of it too,
being the best one they have ever had
1t is made up from main by measures
long since accepted by the Republicans,
by measures which democrats have op-
posed the last decade, and by now adopt
ing them, they virtually acknowledge
that they were wrong, and Republican
principles are the only true ones. II
Democrats could only expunge their
history from the record OF the past, they
would have at least ghost of show of
success in the future. IF"

Col Chas, D. Robinson. of Green
Bay, was doubtless put at the head of
the Democratic ticket to neutralize the
popularity of Gov. Fairchi]d with those
favorable to the Fox and Wisconsin
River Improvement. That Col Robin
inson would, if elected, favor this great
work. no one pretends to doubt, but any
one acquainted with the politics Of the
State can see that Democratic Govern
or with Republicans Legislature could
not exert tithe of the influence of any
public good, that could be welded by an
executive whose political sympathies
we're liz harmony with a majority with the
Senate and Assembly. Gov. Fairchild
has done and, will do. more than any
other man in the State to help on this
great work. - .Sheboygaa Herald
The surrender looks too much like the
ruse that has already been played in len
nessee and Virginia. At best we can do
no nore than accept the nomination OF
Robinson and the expression in favor of
freedom, and the extension of suffrage as
the involuntary and reluctant tribute
which vice pays to virtue. The upshot
of the Conventions action is simply this:
The people IRE asked to vote with the
Democracy because they are beginning to
be patriotic. The people arc wise in
their day and generation, and will vote
with the Republicans because they are
and ol,ooys haze been patriotic, and be-
cause it is safer to trust those who have
proved themselves trustworthy. than it is,
to trust the Greeks even bringing
gifts. -M,rdulee Seatiacl
On our side we are glad that not in a
single instance SO far as we have seen,
has Gov. Fairchild, nor any one of the
Republican nominees, been personally
assailcd by Democratic papcr.--4deo-
cate.
This is easily accounted for, from the
fact that the democratic papers, as gen
cral thing, would rather see Gov. Fair
child elected than Col. Robinson

are making great hullabaloo about
their patriotism, their anxiety to pay

This is very unusual noise for them to
make, but we fear the cause of it is
