Cheering Prospects in the State.
The Mon;ello Express says. that on
fair test, the State of Wisconsin, is demo
cratic by five or six thousand majority
That is to say, if the voters of the State
were to act directly upon the issues now
presented, uninfuenced by party tramnels
and party associations. The people, the
working men, mechanics and laborers, are
with the democratic party, With these
considerations, include the fact that so
many of the party republicans Of the State
are down on the Madison Regency and the
State administration ring and also anoth
er fact, that fraud and corruption, plum
dering and stealing, to q large AMOUNT of
the peoples money, has been charged and
fastened upon many of the State officers
and another fact still, that Gov Fairchild
has pardoned q convicted murderer out
of State Prison, for money, all oi
which facts the people are now IN pos

but Robinson will be elected Governor over

With these encouraging prospects, it be

change of State administration, from cor,
rupt and yenal men, to the hands of up
