REPUBLICANS RALLY.

Next Teusday is election day much
can be done in that time if effort Is
rightly directed. We do not expect
that converts will be made, but the
iukewarm and apathetic may be aroused
and brought out to the polls. The
campaign has been quiet one appa-
rently but little WORK has been done,
yet there is a chance to be deceived
The Democratic vote will be brought
out very generally; the only way to
counterfeit it and save ourselves from
defeat is to see that the Republican
vote is out also. To secure this we
must rely upon the individual efforts
of Republicans We are in far greater
danger from our own apathy than from
our enemy's strength We can win if
We will, if we lose is our own fault
Our ticket is an exec lent one-better
in every respect than the one opposed
to it; if our principles were ever worth
voting, working and fighting for they
are none the less SO now. Let no Re-
publican do himself the injustice and
bis country the wrong of staying away
from the polls next 'Teusday; let no
one say that his single vote is of no
will add emphasis to the
victory let no one leave for others the
work of seeing that full vote is out
see to it yourself that none of your
fail to vote. Republicans
Rallys! Do not begrudge one day to
your country.

WHICH IS THE CORRUPT
PARITY

The State Government Of Wisconsin
has been in operation nearly twenty
one years. During that time the ad-
ministration has been in the hands
Of the Democrats five years, of the
Wings two years, of the Repub leans
twelve years, and one term oftwo years
the State officers were divided between
the Republicans and Democrats. We
now make it as q statement, founded
upon record and impossible to re-
flute, that the people of the State suf-
fered from pilfering, wholesale steal
ing and official corruption at head
quarters, during the time in which the
Democrats controlled the administration,
fourfold the amount lost to the State by
the same means during the much lougei
time that the Government has been in
the hands Of the Republicans The
bribery, robbery and Wholesale plumber
ing Of the Barstow administration has
been without u parallel in the history
of the country. By one defalcation of
aDemocratio Treasurer $50, 900 was lost
10 The State, not one cent OF which has
ever been refunded and by the exorbi-
tant rates paid to favorites who had OBJ
tanned contracts for furnishing materi-
als or erecting buildings, the treasury
was robbed Of enormous sums.
Compare this record with that Of the
Republican party since it gained the
asceadancy in the State economy has
marked the management of public af-
fairs the annual expenses of our gov
eminent are less than those of any
otter State of the same population
not dollar has been lost to the State
by defalcation, and the various school
university and swamp land funds have
been judicously and honestly managed
as the records prove, all assertions to the
contrary notwithstanding. 1t is true
that thesRepublican party has elected
men to Office who afterwards proved
unworthy, but in every such case they
at once received the condemnation OF
the party. A Republican Governor,
his private secretary, and a few others
were convicted of receiving brides, but
their malfeasance was a small affair
compared with the magnificent pur-
chase Of "Barstow and the Balance, .
which swept in the whole Democratic
government at one comprehensive
sale. Bashford was never forgiven
by his party ard sank into infamous
and hopeless obseurity Barstow was
endorsed By denomination, and re-
eeived the support of the Democratic
psrty though his official misconduct
was we'll known at the time.
We have no desire to continue this
comparison farther-it is needless. All
this Democratic bowling about "cor
~ otion" is the thiefs cry of stop
thief" Our State government is be.
ing administered well and economically
How can ne expect chage for the bet
ter BY taking the administration from
the Republican party and entrusting it
10 q party whose shortcomings have
been 80 manifest aud so disastrous to
the interests Of the State in times past
Let well enough alone.

The TENNESSEE SENAToRsHIp.- AT
ter a protracted struggle Hon. Henry
Cooper was elected last Friday to the
u. s. Senate from Tennessee. The
vote stood 55 for Cooper and 81 for
johnson. Cooper was consistent Tn
ION man throughout the war and is in
e cry way preferable to Andy. With
the latter and Garrett Davis both in
the Senate, there would be but little time
for aught else there than to allow
these two wort HES to air their oratory,
johnson s defeat may be regarded
as final Six years ago he promised
to be a Moses he has
never fulfilled the promise nor in any
respect initiated the renowned ancient,
either in character or conduct His pc
sitlon now, however, reminds us forcl
bly, of the last act In the great law
giver's life when he closed his career
on Pisgah's top without having entered
the promised land. Andy proves to be
. sort of "Moses" after all !; We don t
want to be mean about it, but We
should like to see the parallel begun
s. late continued little farther.
A BAD CoNTINGENCY.-T Dem
ocrats tried to make a point few
weeks since on the rumor that Gov
Fairehild was to be invi ed to place in
President Grants Cabinet, in which
case T. G.. Pound, as Lieutenant Gov
ernor, would be his successor. There
is no occasion to anticipate this result
as the vacancy in the cabinet is filled,
but should the Democrats elect their
ticket there is far greater reason to fear
that their Lieutenant Governor would
be called to the gubernatorial chair
as it is we'll known that Col. Robinson
is a confirmed invalid and has only
recently returned from trip to Eu-
rope for the benefit of his health. It
would take remarkable stretch of the
imagination to regard FL. FL Gray as a
suitable man to fill the impo tant posi-
ton of chief executive of the State.

AssEMBLYMAN IN THE THIRD
DIsTRIcr-W. q. Tousley of the
Jefferson Banner has been nominated
by the Democrats of the third District
for Assemblyman. His opponent
is Eli P. May of Fort Atkinson. Tous
ley is COOL fellow but the Banner
needs his services more than the State
does so we hope that May, who is
bindered by no such consideration may
be allowed to save Tousley from making
such sacrifice as his election would
occasion.
IN THEIR PROPER PLACE-The
Democrats are claiming much credit
because Democratic paper first gave
publicity to the Spencer alta T. They
deserve no credit for this-the SAID
paper received its information from
Republicans who had examined the
whole matter aud chose that way Of
making it public for reasons Of their
own.
But as the Democrats show SO much
zeal in this direction it proves them to
be far better detectives than guardians;
and, as the Wisconsin pithly remarks,
they are much more efficient keepers of
the public interests as "outs' than as
sins" They are in their proper place
and let them stay there.
TAKE Your CHoICE.-The Demo
cratic papers are loudly proclaiming
that the funds in the State Treasury
have been so managed by the Repub-
lican Treasurers as TO realize no inter
est to the State. The last Democratic
Treasurer SO managed that no principal
was realized. "Gentlemen, you pays

MEMBER o. ASSEMBLY.

Below we publish call upon Daniel
Fall. Esq, requesting the use of his
name as an independent candidate for
Member of Assembly in this district.
It will be seen that the call is extern
sively sigued, the names of many prom
inent and influential Democrats appear
ing, showing the great dissatisfaction
existing in the ranks of the opposition
| towards their nominee, E. 2. Brook.
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Brook 8 nomination, which it is charged
was achieved by sharp practice in the
first instance, is bitter pill for many
Democrats who do not believe in he
thimble-rigging process by which it
was secured. Nor do they fancy the
idea of being represented in the legls
lature at the present time by one whom
they know can in no sense fill the bill
and look after the interests of the dis
trict, and parti cularly this city, in such
a manner as the emerg encies of the
case require. 1t behooves every tax
payer in tie city to weigh this matter
carefully and vote according to his best
interests, without any regard to polit-
ical considerations whatever. And it
is equally incumbent upon the people
of 1xonia and the town of Waterfowl
to so vote as to secure the welfare of
the eity-their interests being SO nearly
allied to ours. With thriving and
growing city here, of course the farms
and property in the adjacent towns ar
more valuable than if lying contiguous
to city devoid of life, activity and
prosperity. They are therefore equally
interested with US in having such leg
islation this winter as will enable Wa
.tertown to settle with her creditors,
and take the place to which she is en-
titled among her sister cities in the
State
Ia Mr. Hall, we have a gentleman
of fine capacity, and one who in the
legislature will rank among its ablest
AID most influential members He can
do far more towards securing such
legislation as we require, than Mr..
Brook can, who has no taste or tact in
that direction Besides, Mr.. Hall is
in harmony with the people and tax.
payers, while Mr.. Brook is regarded as
the special pet and protege Of certain
persons here, believed to be holders of
our bonds, by whom he would be con
troled as if made of putty. Let not
the people commit the grievous error
of ele cting him this fall to the iegis-
lature
To DANIEL HALL, Esq.

The undersigned, electors of the First As

spective of party, having confidence in your
integrity, and in your ability to represent

REPUDIATEs His NATIONALITY

The Chinese New Year occurred on what,
in our calendar, is set down as the tenth day
of February. The Chinese year now ending
commenced on the twenty-fourth OF January,
1868, and the previous year commenced on the
first day of our February, while the year soon
to commence will close on January 20, 1870.
One feature of Chinese New Year
in San Francisco, of which account may be
made, Is the number of American callers. The
merchants appear highly delighted to see and
welcome all OF our citizens whom they can
recognize as friends, and all with whom they
baye had any kind of business connections;
and to provide for such calls large stock OF
wines, cigars and other refreshments has been
secured. 1t should be noted, however, that
liquors and cigars are not usually offered to
the callers of their own race, but only to the
white people. Many entire strangers enter
the stores merely from curiosity, and they also
are treated with the same hospitality, and
even with cordiality usually extended only
to old acquaintance. They are likewise ex-
posed 10 a raid from that class who are always
thirsty, who 60 from house to house washing
their throats with champagne and brandy,

gars, fre-cracksrs and sweetmeats.
