only argument used by the Radicals to in
duce voters to support Fairchld is, that
he has an empty sleeve" His empty
sleeve elected him once to the Office of Sec
retary of State, and twice TO the Office OF
Governor, and now it is proposed TO elect
him the third time. Six years of office is
not satisfaction to Fairchid There are
other men who have empty sleeves, and
empty trowser legs, too, but they were
high privates. None but commissioned Of

soldiers of the rank and file ,0h0 did the

to be serviceable to the Radical party; they
are olly fit to vote to retain their superiors

hand organ, or to so to the poor house.

Knowing that our readers will want to
know what the Tribune had to say last
week, to console itself for the loss of the
County printing. We give space for few
extracts. 1t says:
"SOLD OUT.-There was time in the
history of our country when man could
be elected to Office and his supporters feel
confident that the best interests ofour par
ty would be studied by him. 1t appears
that that time has passed away, and there
is no dependence to be placed in any one
We have recently had an example of per
Gdyseld)m witnessed in our midst, and
one not much short of being as unmaniy
as the one that created so much an excite-
ment in this county last spring, What
that was it is unnecessary to say. In this
instance zee, individually, have been be
trayed by one whom, heretofore, we looked
upon and respected as gentleman, but
one who, alas, has shown himself to be one
of those hellish wretches inthe shape of a
man known as Z. p. Fuessenich Yes, we
do aot mean to mnce matters in the least,
but come right out and let she people know
what kind Of a man (?) you ere, Fuessen
ich, fer the man who will go back on his

party, and We mean 10 prevent your get
ting another office at the hands of our par
ty, for We know you now. You
who was elected to the Office of Clerk of
the County Board by the Republican vote
Of Manitowoc county did net make as much
as you think for by the sale of the tax list to
the Pilot. you think so, Fussenich, We
think you will see your mistake when you
again ask for the support of Republicans
Mr. Treat, Of the Pilot, bought you out
rather cheaply, we think, for when per
son gets hold on such a man (cXcuse the
expression as you are, it don't take much

The Re publ ans of our county will know
better than to support you again, for they
'can take a hint without kick, >" and es-
peclally such broad one as they receiv ed.
lon, Fuessenich, went into It with yopr
eyes open and now that YOU are political y
dead III the Republican ranks, We commend
you to the strong embrace OF the demo
cracy, for we don't want such excuses for
men as you are in our party. Your sale OF

High Times in Portage.

On Thursday Of last week, Pottagc city,
was the scene of great excitement, COME
guent upon the shooting OF one barney
Britt and the immediate lyDching OF w.
H. Spain the murderer, and the suOSe
quent Iynch;ng Of Pat Wildrioh, noted
desperado, In Jail at that place. BRITT and
Spain had an old quarrel Tor years, which
had been renewed that day, and SPAN
having defended Wildrlcll the day before
for rcbbi1s, had been Knocked down by
witness named Ginder, and had threatened
| to shoot said G!udGr, and carried with him
| a revolver. 1t is also stated by some that
! in his dispute with Britt the law suit mat
ter entered into the conversation. In the
afternoon observing Britt, walking behind
| him cn the side walk, Spain Insisted that
| he should not follow him Britt replied
that he was not following, but Was going
| about his business. THIS was repeated
! twice, when Spain turned and shot Britt
killing him Instantly. Spain delivered
| himself to the officers, who were taking
| him to Jail, but crowd Immediately gath
cred, took him from the hands OF the oth-
GERS, and hung him to a tree on one OF the
principal business streets.
| Pat WIidrich was a notorious desperate,
who has been frequently before the courts
| IN the western part OF the state, but has
| always managed to escape justice. lie was
the man who robbed old Mr.. Gates, who
was murdered a lew days ago near Xii

and was IN jail Tor rUbblng Norwagla
| boy q few evenings since, having been
watched and caught III the act On Friday
morning about one 0 clock crowd OF d!S>
! gulsed men, supposed TO come from Al
! bourn and vicinity, proceeded To the jail
! at Portage, three of the number aroused
| the iallor, two of them telling him that
| they had a man to be put IN the jail, the
| third enc pretending TO be trying to get
away from the other two, and when the
| jalor and Sheriff opened the door, they
were surrounded by ABOUT one hundred
men, and securely fastened, while the crowd
took from them the cell keys, proceeded to
| the cell Of Wlldrich, dragged him to the
yard and hung him to tree, when the
officers Wsre relGa ed AMI the crowd d.
parted. Portage, with its various means
| ct escape, is center for these rascalS, aud
the people there have become tired Of it.
The Portage Register, In commenting
| on the affair, after rehearslng the chances
for the escape of such criminals and aver
| ing that if certain conviction aud punish
ment were probable III such cases, the
scene woud not have occurred, says, "the
people are impressed with the belief that
they had a sacred duty to themselves and
the community 10 perform, and our verdict
is that tl.ey performed 1t well, and that

they are welcome to keep away Bearer

Convinced By this that tho body nt. Mr..

search was canine nccd, which Was Glthout

body was found, by a farmer, on the beach
of Lake Michigan, 27 miles below Manisee
near Frankfort, where the rapid current
Of the Lake, which was known TO have set
north with great to:ce on the fatal Sunday
and Monday, had carried 1t. Three CHASTITY
wounds, made by blunt instrument, told
to well the horrid manner of his death. -
The body was dressed, as last seen, except
the coat was gone, and there was rope "a
tached to it. The horrible fact was estab-
lished that poor Field was murdered.
w hen f0unt, there was 4 rope around the
body, by which it had evidently been am
chored down, aud the end was irayed where
it had become disconnected from the
weight: the pockets were all turned inside
out, except tie rear, or pistol pocket,
where was an envelope addressed to Mr..
Field, and $40 gold piece, with a hole
drilled in it, was in this envelope. Tie
had on also ring that was lndent fled 10y
many friends, His name was in tull on his
pants, and tattooed mark was plainly
visible on his arm, There was a deep
wound on the back Of his head another
in the hollow of his head, and slight one
on his forehead. These quite agree with
the theory already determined on, that be
had been struck while writing at his desk

hat the last hostile gun had been captur-

That party yet remain in power, and the
eople pay nearly three hundred million of
pillars for poorer government than used
J be for eighty millions. Why is this
pvhy are three hundred million of dollars

an one third OF the amount ought to be
lf6cient? The surplus two hundred mill
sn, is steal. j is paid out to useless Of
cials, for useless services, or for no serv-
les. 1t is used only as corrupt party
hows how to use money. 1t goes into the
pliers of Republican Office holders. 1T goes
pay their private pleasure bills. 1t goes
pay the expenses of Grant and his whole
kbinet, while on pleasure trip to Long

bousani illegal, innumeral and dishonest

buntry quietly submit, and pay.
They never ask, for they know that they
knnot learn where the money goes to that
hey pay. They know that when they buy
pound Of tea, they pay at least dollar
the government, a pound Of tobacco a

pmpelled to buy And when farmer has
cured up his accounts at the end Of the
