The following from the Appleto,

The following from the Appleton
Post is as applicable to Manito wocC County
as it is to Outagamie. Conae..orer "The
state democracy have surrendered every
them as party here or elsewhere.
Their fight is for ofhce-for that and
nothing else. Whatever doctrines they
have rofessed are set floating, and now
for Office they shout in one breath good
Lord and good devil" This may do for
the hungry barnacles, but we cannot be-
icve that the voting democrats are such
complete tools as their leaders take them
to be.
Let us organize here at once, and show
them how completely they have been
sold. Let us push them on their plat
form and their candidates Let US ex.
nose them in their political lcchery.-
Let us unveil their treasons to past pro-
LESSONS. Let US unmask their designs
on the state. 1t is utterly impossible
for the political hermaphrodites to resist
the assault of reason. facts and logic that
can be brought to bear on them. Let US
organize at once. Old men and young
men, old settlers and new corners, take
hold, and work together. No iealosy
about who shall lead or who shall be bell
wethcr, take YOUR grip and take il now
A thorough effort may possibly redeem
Outagamie, will certainly break the back
bone of the Shams But we must work.
Lethargy, apathy, nonaction is defeat
Energy, activity, and zeal must succeed
Organized effort is what counts Let us
meet and organize at once

CORRUPTIoN CONFESSED. The Edi
tor of the New York World says he wa;
at the polls in the metropolis last fall
and that he had an opportunity to see by
what shameless and cunning frauds such
corruptionists of the ring as William
NJ. Tweed and Oakley Hall, manipulated
the returns. This, be it remembered is
not the charge of a Republican sore
head. " 1t is deliberate aud unextorted
confession, proceeding from the mouth
piece OF the Democratic party. 1t appears
in the columns of a paper whose general
circulation is urged by Governor Hotf
man, Sam. Tiden, and other Democrat
ic magnates. 1t admits precisely what Re
publicaus have all along conte nded that
the election in the metropolis last fall was
shameless and cunning fraud, so man
aged as to falsii!y the returns and make
the registry cheat The Void has
given names 1t arraigns before the
people the individuals whom it holds re
SponSible for this corruption, Their ac-
cuser is one of their own household The,
cannot afford TO speer at. his Indictment,
or refuse to answer his charge.
