sensations OF HazeltOD Y the Platte
vile Junta, nearly or town in
Grant County exec Plattevile

Senatorial Election in Crawford and
Richland Counties.
The Senatorial election in Craw-
ford and Kichland counties resulted
in the defeat of 0. B. Thomas, repub-
lican, and one of the ablest men in
the State, and the electionhbf one
Krouskop, democrat, and man
without shadow of qualification.
The canvass was similar to ours in
Grant County--the sore@head repub-
lIcans voting with the democrats.
John Walworth, a sort Of political
hybrid, and editor of sore-head
| newspaper at Richland Center, was
their organ. Ira Hazeltine, another
apostate. bargained for the democrats
ic vote for himself for Assemblyman
as condition of transferring the
sore-head vote to the democrats; but
the latter violated their pledges and
voted for one of their own nen--iust
as they did at Platteville where they
treacherously few the track and
voted for Squires. Well, in Rlchland
County the democratic and aore-head
vote failed To elect an Assembly
and James I'll. Miner, republican, was
elected, which was.a different results
from that in the case of the Platte
vile boilers. O. b. Thomas carried
his party vote in Crawford, where
he ran even with Fairchild, but in
Riehland County the Walworth-
Hazeltine republican sore-heads
carried enough votes for Kronskop
to defeat Thomas in the district. La
Grant County the boilers elected no
body but Squires, democrat, and de-
feated nobody but Carter, republi-
can. OF course the boilers in Rich
land County circulated bogus tickets
and late hour circulars signed by
forged names of republicans same
as in Grant County. O. b. Thomas
had received unanimous and fair
nomination for Senator in full con-
vention, and was then bolted for no
cause except the idle and malicious
tales invented by sore-Leads. And
Senator Hazelton of Grant County
was fairly nominated in full con-
vention by three-fourths majority,
and then bolted for no cause but the
malicious reports of Madame Rumor.
Z Boots TIcKETs.-Much feeling is
being shown in several parts of the
County. concerning the bogus repub-
lican tickets, bearing the name of
Nelson Dewey for Senator, and dis
tributed through the several towns
in some cases the Postmasters being
implicated in the distribution. Asst
has been claimed in several quarters
that such tickets were sent out from
Lancaster, we give notice that none
but regular republican and democrat
ic tickets were printed ct the Herald
office. Also, that, in view Of con-
sistency in opposing swindling the
Herald editors and printers always
refused to print bogus tickets for
any and all parties. The practice of
printing such we believe to be as
truly criminal in moral political prac-
tice as the printing of counterfeit
money is truly criminal in financial
policy. To cheat man out of his
vote is as wrong as to rob his pocket,
and the crime is no less at the print
ing Office where the fraud begins
than with the scallawag who peddles
bogus tickets and if such scallawag
be postmaster SO much the greater
is the crime in every moral sense, he
being man clothed with more show
Of authority than any other, except
perhaps the printer. As to POST.
masters who circulate either bogus
republican or democratic tickets,
such may be extremely ignorant as
to their duty--so ignorant we think,
III not criminal minded and dishonest
in their trust, that the sooner they
resign a la B,ateDfeId, the better
Such may be entrusted with the
handling of money letters through
fear of detection, but not with any
public trust requiring integrity of
conduct. @ la
