WELL DoNE.-Mr E. A. Spencer,
who received the Republican nomin-
alton for Secretary of State, was
discovered by the auditors of ac-
counts to have kept in his pockets
and not paid over to the State
Treasurer, some six or seven thous-
and dollars of State money paid to
him by the Insurance Companies do
ing business in the State-he being
the chief clerk during the time. And
though he at once came forward and
paid over the money-upon hearing
of the discovery, the Republican
State Central Committee deemed his
conduct such that it could not and
should not be defended nor defense
be attempted, inasmuch as it show
ed clearly his dishonest intentions.
And the committee were glad Of the
discovery in time to save that i'm
portant department from inevitable
damage and disgrace. They at once
gave MT. spencer notice that his
withdrawal from the State ticket
would be gladly accepted. So he
wrote brief note withdrawing his
name-whereupon,
The State Central Committee sub
stitutedthe name ofLlywelyn Breese,
a Welchman, of Columbia County,
for the Republican candidate for
Secretary for State, in place of said
Spencer. Mr.. Breese came within
one or two votes of receiving the
nomir alton of State Treasurer. and
is reckoned to be one of the trustiest
and abiest business men in the State
Hitherto, Mr.. Spencer has stood |
weil-rather fast liver however.
and without superior for business I
He may be reckoned |
among the sore-heads.

0. B. THoMAs.-The Republicans
of Richland and Crawford Senatorial
District have put in nomination Capt.
o. b. Thomas for election to the Sen
ate. This shows that first rate tai
ent and legal ability are taken into
full account and a value set upon
them in those two counties hitherto
known as unprogressive. Consider
ing that the three southwestern
counties, Crawford, Richland and
Grant, are next to be represented in
the legislature by men of equal tai
ent to any IN the State, our people
may have reason for expecting some
share Of the benefits of legislation as
we'll as other parts Of the State. The
State Journal noticing the nomina-
ton of Capt. Thomas remarks:
"This is a most excellent nomina-
ton. Capt. Thomas has represent
ed the county of Crawford several
times in the Assembly, and proved
himself very able and efficient rep
resentative. AS lawyer he ranks
high, and as a clear and forcible
speaker he has few superiors in the
State. He has been chairman of the
Judiciary Committee in the Assem-
bly,, and discharged the duties Of that
high position with marked ability,
and to the satisfaction CT all the
members Of that body. He will go
into the Senate with much legisla-
tive experience, and will at once
take position among the ablest and
best members of that body. His OPP
ponent is Geo Krouskop, of Rich
land, who is dubbed sPeople's Can
didate," in the hope to catch Repub-
lican votes But Mr.. Thomas will
receive the full vote of his party and
be elected.

Another Railroad Fiddle String Broke.

Just now there there is talk again,
(there being Senator to elect.) of
extending the Monroe road west to
the Mississippi, and somebody is to
go and see Mitchell, the President of
the NJ. Il st. Paul road, 10 receive
proposals. Well, we presume he will
answer just as he lately did a COM
mittee from Baraboo who called last
week to learn of him the terms upon
which he would extend a branch to
their town. After hearing their ar
guments in favor of the building of
the road, and its Importance, Mr.
! Mitchell said that, "Every proposed
road seemed to those living on it's
line to be one of great Importance
and he could not see any particular
differenc between their proposed road
and a number of others throughout
the State" He told them, however
off the people of the Baraboo val
ley would grade the road, lay the
ties, and build the bridges, including
one across the Wisconsin river, be
had no doubtful his company would
iron the road, furnish the rolling
stock, and operate it," The com.
mittee couldn't see it, and left The
Presence.
And we presume the same terms
will extend the Monroe road west
and none others. All the committees
and operators in the country and
Senators and peg railroaders will be
unable TO procure any better terms
however important the extension
asked for This fiddle may as wei
hang to the wall.

sag General N. A. Forrest has
written a sharp letter, denouncing a
fire-eating Southern editor who
spoke of his associating with persons
with whom he does not agree politi-
cally as disgraceful and disgusting.
He says.he is engaged in building a
railroad which will be ofvast advan-
tage to Alabama, Mississippi and
Tennessee, and that in his opinion
the accomplishment Of this enter
prise is an object worthy the ambi-
ton of any man, and to one who
loves this country and humbly seeks
to serve the interests of his fellow
citizens, is far above the considera-
tons of mere partisan politics. He
adds that his object has been to
bring peace to the country and pros
perity to the people; to soften down
the prejudices of both parties, and
in the development of the great ma
teriai interests of the country, to
smooth the asperities engendered by
tho war, and etface alike the marks
and the memories of strife.
