The Kenosha Union on the
Republican County Nom

IneCs.''


The Union admits Mr.. Petit, the can
didate for Senator, to be a man of good
abilities and;successful in business. sseBut
Mr.. Petit does large shipping business
with the Lake Shore and western railroads.
receives many favors from thems and
would beexpected as legislator to recip
rocate ifan opportunity presents itselffor
so doing" In plain words, Mr.. Pettit
does large shipping business. General
~, it is for the interest of shippers to
ship at low rates, but Mr.. Pettit's. case is
an.exception to the general rule; it is
for his interest to pay high rates. Hence
he will be in favor of Rail Road uenopc-
lies SO that the Railways can charge him
and others high rates for shipping.
Mr.. Bailey, candidate for the assembly,
according to the Union, "is successful
station agent with but little ability
Mr. Bailey is farmer and engaged in the
business of shipping station agency
being only temporary and oflittle conse-
quence. As a farmer and a. shipper, it
would naturally be for his interest to get
shipping at low rates But, Mr.. Bailey's
case, like that Of. Mr. Petit, is an excep
ton to the general rule. It is for Mr.
Baileys interest to psy high rates for
shipping; 50, as a legislator, he. Will be
in favor of Railroad monopolies, SO that
the Railroads can charge him and others
high rates for slipping, ~
This is the logic Of the Kenosha Unio,s
And we must confess it is of the deepest
kind of logic, It is 50 deep that it re-
quires philosopher as well as logician
to understand it. 1t is SO deep that the
electors of Kenosha County may fail to
understand it. But, fortunately for the
Union, there is a people who. can fully
it. Garry me back to Old
Virginny,"' where, in the society Of the
Heightened" gentlemen and ladies Of
the Virginia Democracy the philosophy
and logic of the Union can be duly appre-
ciated and its merits fully rewarded
Mr.. Barns, the candidate for School
Superintendent, IS, in the opinion of the
Union, g too indolcnt in habits, and too
eracible il temper" '"Indolent in hab-
its -Eracible IN temper" We can guess
what indolent in habits !" means but
" eracible in temper" is above our CUES
sing. We have seen the word dq'a6ejble,
but have never before seen stmaei6ge,' y
and we shall have to call the School
Master to our assistance. Mr. sBarns at
tends to what he has to do, and does it
without noise and ostentatlon. . He walks
in the quiet paths of life, rather than the
noisy and boisterous, in the faithful, dis
charge of every duty. And those who
think itrequires frequent spree in I" Lee
is took . to constitute activity of habits,
and necessary frequently to become =" O BE
JOYFUL" to constitute an equable tenn
per, might think Mr.. Barns indolent in
habits and irascible in temper. But all
who are naturally active and good temper
ed will be satisfied with the activity and
good temper o. Mr.. Barns.
The Union 'trusts the convention (then,
yet to be held will renominate Mr. Timme
for Register" and the convention die
renominate Mr. Tlmme-not however out
of any particular friendship for Mr.
Timme but rathar not to weaken thai1
