Commissioner Ring with all its past
stealings." Whoever that writer is, be
1t Sibree, or any other man the Demo-
Gratis had better buy him off; he will yet
make some disclosures which will enable
the people to get their dues. The advice
to .. b. is entirely out Of place, as he Is
not a candidate for Office. No. Is is a
plea for Sibree, and it quotes Randall,
Doo'ittle, Carpenter and others as being
taken from the Democratic ranks and re-
warded for their detection, to prove that
Sibree ought to be rewarded. Neverthe-
less, it says these men viii all come
back to first principles when they can no
longer be fed with the crumbs Of office. !"
Does Mr.. Sibrec intend to follow such a
course? But we have made this article
longer than we intended, because we
found more falsehood than we expected
to meet. Never have we seen an effort
made to elect candidate by such whole
sale lying as in this of County Judge on
the Democratic ticket. and never have
seen lying so speedily, fearfully rebuked.

THE RESULT IN The VILLAGE
A Republican President,
Treasurer and Eleven
Trustees Elected.

We did not doubt, from the first, when
we saw the ticket put in nomination by
the Republican party that it would be
triumphantly elected. The names upon
it were those of men well known in the
community-men of sterling worth, hon
est straightforward business men. They
are elected because this is the case, and
not because they belong to any party !;
and we hope this will continue to be the
case. We have suffered enough already
from the Democratic organization to
prompt us to wish that no Rings may
ever again control our people. And we
earnestly hope that the people will not
keep any set of men, or any man, too
long in Office. We are fully convinced it
has been the ruin of theDemocratic party.
Rotation in Office is a good idea-of
course it cannot always be adhered to
without detriment to the public, but it
should be the rule. We think our Vii
iage is at present and has been under
wise government, and we hope that strict
economy will in the future as in the past,
govern all our newly elected officers that
the people may not be burdened by
heavy taxation, and that we may flourish

SOME REFL ETIoNs.- late elections
show most conclusively that the state
ment made by US that fraud had full
sway at the Democratic Convention was
perfectly correct There is no doubt
that majority desired the nomination of
Judge Barker and their viii being set
aside they complimented their favorite
by not voting for his oppopent,as did also
the friends of Mr. VIM Bach Another
point is this, Geo. n Woodin, Esq, has
made himself quite conspicuous in assist
ing the Ring hereabouts and the people
were pretty well aware of the fact He
was on the ticket of the I'd ward for JUS
tice of the Peace, and his opponent, Mr.
John Lantry, is private citizen who
we believe never before came up for
Office. What is the result? Mr.. Woodin
gets but Al votes Comment is unneces-
sary.

Many Thanks to those
Democrats who AS
sisted TO Scoop out
the Ring.
The Republican Nominee
for County Judge Elect
ed by about
ESQ MAJORITY !!

Never before in the history of Manito-
woo County has any man received vote
SO remarkably small as the Democratic
nominee for County Judge-Henry ST.
bree-receiyed on Tuesday last. AS a
prominent Democrat remarked on the
street, "No man could carry the Poor
Commissioners in this county" This
Mr.. S. attempted to do and he was crush
ed to the earth. Mr.. S. also thought it
was good thing to ride two horses going
In different directions-a feat hitherto
considered impossible-and as might be
expected he finds himself in the slough
of despond." He abused the Germans
and then asked for their votes, but their
answer comes laundering from their farms
and workshops, No, No! He insulted the
Irish, and then demanded their support
because the Ring had placed him on their
ticket, but with yell they replied.
Curse the Ring and curse that man
who dares to ridicule our religious bclief!''
And they, too, threw aside party, and
party OBLIGATIONS, and cast solid vote for
the Republican nominee We are alto
gether too modest to claim this as Re-
publican victory; we do not even claim
that the TRIBUNE ought to have more
than seven eighths of the credit for this
result, but we do claim that certain
Ring that has controlled this county, hav-
ing become too corrupt to live, having
run the county thousands of dollars in
debt is dead, and buried beneath the
popular indignation of the people. 1t
now only remains for honest people to put
up the best men we have for office-and
if a bad man by political trickery gets the
| nomination, to spot him and defeat him.
Thus will we be enabled to reduce expen-
ses, pay off the County Indebtedness, and
tighten the enormous load of taxation
which the people have carried so long.
Let honest men rejoice and thank God
that our people have at length aroused
themselves and cast aside the worthless
| ring of politicians who have so long con.
trolled and swindled us out CT our hand
earned treasure. Hereafter let it be un
derstood that a man is elected to office be
cause of his fitness fer the position ano
not because he belongs to any Ring what
ever Then shall county orders be al
par. our property viii be worth gold, and
We shall be prosperous and happy
people
The following figures will probably
differ but slightly from the official, q
they have been prepared with care. The
majority viii foot up to nearly 2,23o.

THE DREDGE.- On last Thursday
morning, it was discovered that the
Dredge owned by the village and under
the care Of Mr.. John Schuette, was leak
ing badly and in sinking condition.
Measures were at once adopted to keep a
portion of the hulk above water, which
proved successful. The prompt action
was all that saved the dredge from sink
ing in about twelve feet of water. 1t is
supposed that the leak was caused by the
ice pulling the oakum out OF the seams
The Dredge was pumped out by Tor
rent Engine and is now afoat.

To show how eagerly the TRIBUNE
was read just before the late election we
will state an incident that has accidentally
come to our notice One of our subscri-
bers, who lives four miles from the near
est post office, on the day his paper usually
arrived, acalked the four miles to get it, but
found it not-some sneak who feared its
influence having gobbled it up. But he
was not to be cheated out of his paper,
so he walked some distance further, found
a COPY, paid % cts tor it and walked
home again. That we call seeking knowl-
edge under difficulties.

We are informed that the LARA
bee'' and "Kasson" p 0. packages have
failed to reach their destination for the
last two weeks. We assure our readers
shat the TRIBUNE is regularly mailed to
all cur subscribers every Thursday, and
we further know that the Post Mas
erof this place-Mr. Esslinger--pr promptly
forwards them to their destination. Where
the difficulty is we are unable TO tell. We
hope that our friends Throughout the
county will assist in finding out the guilty
parties, and. one step in that direction is
by promptly notifying us when the TRI-
BuNE is not received. We think, how
ever, that the paper will be received reg
ularly by all of our subscribers until
another election is near at hand.

BURGLARS IN TowN-During Friday
night the Boot and Shoe Store of Mr.
Scherer, on Eighth street, opposite the
TRIBUNE office, was entered by burglars
and property to the value of about TWEEN
ty.fve dollars stolen. The thieves made
their entrance through window-by
saving out four pains of glass-in the
shop which is built on to the back part
of the store. From appearance of things
tbe next morning, when the robbery was
discovered, it is quite evident that the
thieves took their time in selecting their
boots and shoes so as 70 be sure and get
"good fit" 1t seems thst the robbery
was committed only for the purpose OF
supplying themselves with boots and
shoes for year or two. No clue to the
-opbers has as yet beer discovered.

LYNX KILLED.-On last Saturday
morning as son of Mrs Yahr, who re-
sides about four miles from this village
was coming to town with load of hay,
his attention was attracted by the barking
of two dogs only short distance from
the road. Thinking that some wild ami
NAL was the cause of the noise made by
the dogs, he took the pitchfork from the
load of hay and went to the scene of the
disturbance. Upon his arrival he found
that large lynx was de6antly mounted
in the branches of fallen tree, prepared
to give battle and contesting every inch
of the ground. AS soon as the boy had
arrived at the scene of the conflict, the
two dogs beat hasty retreat, leaving
him to fight it out with the wild animal
as best he could. The situation was
anything but desirable. The attitude of
the lynx showed only too plainly that he
was ready for battle, and, having already
driven off the dogs, considered himself
master OF the situation. The boy at once
decided to kill or drive off the animal,
and cautiously advances on his foe, with
the pitchfork ready for any emergency.
The lynx. however, was not very easily
scared, and as the boy approached
showed his teeth more fercely but when
within about twenty feet the lynx,
made spring from his elevated position,
for the purpose Of making hasty retreat.
but upon striking the deep snow, he i'm
bedded himself just far enough to give the
boy chance of striking the sharp pointed
fork through his body, killing him
instantly. The boy returned with his
trophy to the team in the road and throw
ing the carcass on top Of rhe load of hay,
drove to town where he related his adven.
| ture to our reporter.
