STRANGE.-On the evening of the
election when only portion of the towns
in the county had been heard from we
sent dispatch to the Sentinel stating
that this county had given 1900 majority
for the Republican nominee for Judge.
The telegram was published. They af
terwards had our paper stating that the
majority was 225O, for they took extracts
from it on other subjects, and now in the
date Of April 18th we find the following j:
I'm Manitowoc county, Waldo, Rep, is
elected over Sibree, DEM, for County
Judge, by majority of 1876" Such
blundering is worse than careless, it is
stupid and censurable.

An Ohio Congressman received a
petition signed by 300 names, asking the
appointment of a female postmistress.
Three days afterwards he had received
25 confidential letters from the signers,
informing him that she was not fit for
the place, and that they had not the cour-
age to refuse to sign her papers. He de.
clares that he will have the appointment
made.
Serves them right. Why ask another
to do what you dislike to do yourself?
Why ask one to carry the load of 300.
Shame on them.
