why they were Beaten.

The following which we take from the
Madison Democrat of Monday, plainly
says that the policy of departing from
the lead of the bunker Democrats and
catering to the wishes of the young
springs of the party, was the cause of
their defeat at the late election:
SAID Tom Reynolds to us yesterday,
"you fellows don't get along as well on
our platform as you did on your own. -
Thrue for you, Thomas. For the recent
election in this State has shown conclu-
siyely---at least in our opinion that the
Policy-no-Policy adopted by the Conyen
ton paid but small profit on the invest
ment This pandering to cold-blooded
conservatism and supposed lukewarm-
ness in the radical ranks, Mt the same
time sighting the convictions and wishes
of the great masses in the democratic
party, is again found to be as unlucky
as it was cowardly. Success might have
rendered such a policy endurable, as q
stepping stone to better things; but dis
aster makes it appear only the more con-
temptible and unworthy Honesty IS
the best policy" even in politics. Let
the leaders put this pipe in their mouths
and smoke it. More hereafter
The fact is patent to everybody, that
the people of Wisconsin are not to be de.
ceived. The Democratic wolf, may ar
ray itself in sleeps clothing if it will,
but the carcass retains its odor, and the
lambs will 'smell o mice.

indeed, be regarded as somewhat eccen-

FLo1ENJCE
SEWING MACHINE.

We claim for the Florence the fol.
lowing advantages over any and all
Sewing Machines:
lE II makes four different stitches,
the lock, knot, double lock, and double
knot. on one and the same machine.
Each stitch being alike on both sides OF
the fabric.
~ Every Machine has the reversible
feed motion. which enables the operator,
by simply turning thumb screw, to
have the work run either to the right or
left. to stay any part of the seam, or fas-
ten the ends of seams, without turning
the fabric.
w- Changing the length of stitch,
and from one kind of stitch to another,
can readily be done while the Machine is
in motion.
re- The needle is easily adjusted.
EF l. is almost noiseess and can be
used where quiet is necessary.
@ Its motions are all positive; there
are no springs to get out of order, and
will sew across the heaviest seams, or
from one to more thicknesses of cloth,
without change of needle, tension, or
breaking thread.
ES- The Hemmer is easily adjusted
and will turn any width Of hem desired !.
EE No other Maritime will do so
great range of work as the Florence.
EE 1t will hem, fell, bind, gather,
braid, quilt, and gather and sew on a
ruffie at the same time.
~ 1t is fully protected and licensed
by Elias Howe, Jr, and his associates.
and our own Letters Patent.
The taking up of the slack thread is
not performed by the irregular con-
traction of wire coil or uncertain oper
alton of wire levers. The precision and
accuracy with which the Florence draws
the thread into the cloth is unapproached
in any sewing machine offered in the
market.
Each Machine is furnished by us with
Barnum's Self Sewer, which guides the
Oork itself, and is of incalcuIable value
especially to inexperienced operators.
Possessing the above, and many other
advantages, the Florence is sold at cor
responding prices with other first class
machines, and careful examination will
fully substantiate all that we have claim
ed for it, and Justify the assertion we
now make, that it is the best sewing ma
chine in the world.
Every machine is warranted by us to
be all that we claim for it, and we will
give a written warranty if required.
