TIE anxiety of the editor of the Demo
crdt for the election of its candidate for
County Judge, from whose hands he an
ticipates little official pap, led him to
descend to kind Of eleetioneerins we
hardly looked for from that source. The
principle "that all is fair in politics" may
be offered AZ an excuse for the false
statements and ungentlemanly insinu>
atoms IN last week 3 Democrat but it will
hardly be so received in this case. That
Mr.. Jones was nominated by what is
known as the Wilson ring in Mineral
Point, or by any other ring, the editor
of the Democrat knows to be untrue, for
he was in the Republican convention at
the time of Mr.. Jones nomination, and
after it closed expressed regrets at the
harmony that prevailed, and the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Jones instead of some one
he thought would cause disagreement
between the Republicans of Dodgeville
and Mineral Point. And to attempt to
stir up prejudices in the minds of voters
by attributing Mr.. Jones nomination to
any "ring, and insinuating that if elects
ed Wilson will be Judge six years long,
er, falls short of that manly course of
electioneering we expected would be pur-
sued by our neighbor The insinuation
relating to Mr.. Jones war record, is
both cowardly and unmanly-it stands
above reproach and defies investigation
The aliusion to the great evil of party
candidates for the Judic airy is t, o good
joke to be lost, when it comes from the
organ of e party that always held COM
ventions to nominate candidates for judges
while it was sufficiently strong to elect
them; and in the present instance had
the Republicans nominated either a Min
eral Point or a Dodgeville man for the
office, it was their intention to hold a
party convention, aud different man
would have been their candidate
We seldom deem it necessary to allude
after the election to political articles pub
lished on the eve of an election, but when
articles appear in any paper for the pur-
pose of exciting local prejudices against
good man who is in no way mixed up
with local quarrels, we deem it but just to
denounce them, even after the election
The Democrat of last week was evident
ly intended for Dodgeville readers.

TIE WASHINGTON ELEcT1oN.-We are not
surprised that the Argus agonizes over the
conduct of the negroes at the late municipal
election in Washington. The colorsd men did
not actually slaughter their opponents, as
white Democrats in the same section of the
country do under similar circumstances, and
this may perhaps be the true ground of COM
plant in the Argus office. The city was car
ried by the Republicans by the majority of
5000, and that is the chief ground of complaint.
We have not word to say in extenuation of
the conduct of the colored men, If it was as
represented by the first accounts, but Wash
ington dispatch gives a new version of the
matter, which is no doubt the correct one.
The dispatch says: 1l9di Is saHa 10.
Il appears, that tho canse Of the aisturbAAee
was not simply the voting of Democratic
ticket by colored man. This man whom the
disorderly persons attempted to mob is accused
OF being party to an attempted fraud on
those colored men believed to be unable to
read. He and number of Democrats got out
Republican ticket, with the names
of the Democratic candidates printed thereon.
and tried to palm off the same on the igorannt.
When the cheat was discovered the eolored
people became inceneed, and in their anger
endeayored to take the law into their own
hands and punish the guilty parties. This
same man had also made himself obnoxious to
many of tho colored men by reason of his hav-
ing employed large number to work ON some
contracts for street-paving, given him by Re-
Of their wages. n / o y ''Iifla 8as ~ u

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY BUILDING
We took a tour of investigation over the City
Building yesterday forenoon and could not
but be struck with the many Improvements
that have taken place there lately. Our citi-
zens may remember how offensive the atmos-
phere Of the building was last winter, and how
titles to try and kill the stencil that equally
peryaded halls and rooms We are pleased to
state that through the efforts Of the Mayor
and City Government, tho whole building,
from basement to attic, has been thoroughly
cleansed and purified so that it is now as
sweet as nut. Accommodations for decent
dodgers have been provided in the basement
which VIII bear favorable comparison with the
best in other cities. The old clubhouse in
the court between the buildings, which was a
splendid pestilence- breeder, has been removed,
and the court il to be nicely paved. All the
fences have been put in good repair and white
washed, and the little square on Myrtle street.
planted with clover and herdsgrass.
Thecost of eating the building has been
SO great that the Mayor appointed a commits
sion consisting of Messrs j. B., Coyle, Chas
Staples Jr and Joseph L. Winslow to make
examination of the boilers and hand in a, re-
port. From this report we learn that boil
ers could be put in which would econo-
mise 25 per cent. on the present cost of heat
ing the building, and the steampipes could be
enlarged 50 that the pressure would diffuse
sufficient warmth over the whole edifce.--
They also state that as matters stand at pres
ent four tenths of the heat is consumed by the
