Republicans of Wisconsin, are you rea.
dy for the fast approaching struggle OF
November End ?
Are the lines all formed-the works all
prepared
If not, no time should be lost in getting
in readiness. Our opponents have spared
neither time, money nor falsehoods to
make the struggle of November I'd, one of
the most desperate that Wisconsin ever
witnessed.
Their lines have been formed and
their file closers are now in position, and
they will be ready, on the morn of election,
to move forward in solid column.
AS solid, unhinching Union battle lines
used to meet, repel and utterly defeat the
hosts of Confederate. insulters of. the
American Nation and her Flag, 80 should
the great Union saving, Union loving
Republican party be prepared to meet the
onset of the modern Democracy-an off.
shoot Of that party which cheered rebel
victories and scoffed at Union soldiers
that party whose leaders boosted that they
would rot vote a dollar to defray the ex-
penses of war waged by the Southern
branch Of their party for tho destruction
Of the best Government on earth-that
party whose leaders complain because
school funds were borrowed to pay the
wives and children of soldiers the small
sum Of $5 per month-that party which
gave encouragement to the JRp7. DAVIS
government whenever it dared to do So.
The animus of the Democratic party is the
same to-day that it was during the war,
but in the hope that they can catch few
Republican votes they have framed plat
form upon which nos one of them more
than pretend to stand In short, they are
playing the part Of political guerrillas,
and it is necessary that Republicans be
found not mapping. bat that they make
the best possible use Of their time between
this and one week from next week Tuss-
day.
See TO it that every Republican is at the
polls. Be prepared for the springing of
Democratic traps by which the party has
too often been swindled.
Republicans, let Us move forward in
solid column-let every man do his duty,
and the victory Ia ours by large maiori

conclusively that there had not been one
dollar of the School Fund lost under the
Republican administration, and then
showed the great losses under the Demo
cratic administration. We regret that
we have not room to give this part of his
address.

The New Secretary OF War.

General w. w. BELKEAP, of Iowa, who
entered the service as Major Of the 10Th
Regiment from that State and fought his
way up to the rank of a Major General,
has, upon the earnest recommendation of
Gen. SHERMAN, beenappointed to succeed
Gen. J. A. RAwLINs as Secretary of War.
Gen. Belknap is man of rare talent, was
regarded as one of the safest and truest
Division Commanders in Sherman's army,
and was repeatedly complimented by that
distinguished officer and President
GRANT. He is what is termed self-made
man. His father was Regular Army Of
ficer-entering the service in 1919 as Sd
Lieut.. and earning the rank of Brig. Gen.
He died in 1851, having served, with
high distinction, through The Mexican
war. Being dependent upon his income
ASIAN army officer for the support ofhimself
and family, it was rendered necessary that
his son should fit himself, at an early age,
to provide for himself which he did He
has now received his reward for life Of
devotion to a widowed mother--for pat.
riotic devotion TO country--for honest Ia
Dor and untiring energy.
For several years Gen. Belknap has
served as Collector of Internal Revenue
for tho LIST Iowa District His appoint
ment was a perfect surprise to him. He
was born In Newburg, N Y, September
32d, 1899, being DO years ofage now. He
graduated at Princeton College in 1948,
Secretary ROBERTSON, of the Navy, being
q member of the same class. He has al
ready entered upon his duties.

Hon. Matt. Carpenter.

Hon. MATT. CARPENTER addressed tie
citizens of Kenosha on political subjects
at Simmons Hail. on Monday evening of
this week. And notwithstanding Sc
we're snow storm was raging at the time
for the people to assemble, he was greet
ed by fair audience. We could not be
present till late, and he closed soon after
our arrival. The subject Of his remarks,
which we heard, was the honest payment
of the National Debt in a currency at
par. Anything short of such payment in
the opinion of the Senator, and we think
of every other sensible and honest man,
would only bring disgrace upon our
country among the narions of the world.
After the close of the honorable Sena-
tors address o. S. Head Esq, was called
for, but excused himself from making any
extended remarks at the time on the
ground that it was entirely unexpected.

of March, 1869, the President elect accepted
$4,000 out of sum of money raised in New
York at his own pressing solicitation, for Gen.
Sherman, to pay him (the Presidency for q
house which he desired to sell. On Thursday
he took the oath of office, and in his inaugural
address pledged himself to the rigid execution
of all laws, whether he liked them or not. He
then spent nearly the entire first week of his
term in trying to evade the plain provisions of
salutary statutes, because they blocked the
way for the admission to the most important
seat in his Cabinet of the almoner who had be-
slowed this dazzling present. Baftied in this
by the flrmness of the Senate and the frowns
of the public, he nevertheless Installed among
his constitutional advisers other individuals
who, though not obnoxious to this particular
objection, where chiefly distinguished for hay
ing conferred upon him costly and valuable
benefactlons. Along with other appointments
bearing this sort of trade mark, he appointed
as his Secretary of the Navy gentleman
wholly incapable Of filling the place, who had
taken the lead in giving him tifty thousand
dollar house in Philadelphia some three years
before; and he surrendered the baton of General
of the Armies to renowned soldier, who, with
his knowledge and appreciation, lifted one hand
to take the oath of office, while receiving with
the other tempting gift valued at 100000, of
which the siXty-ive thousand dollar house in
Washington formeda part. Not to go back to
JeHerSOn, OF ADAMS or JACKSON, LOT VlrIuOuS
examples, even Andy Johnson had sense and
decency enough to refuse the present OF car
riage and his horses with the Presidential oath
lingering on his lips.
Such evil practices of men in high places,
whose past achievements have dazZled the pop
ular imagination, tends to demoraze the pub
lie opinion. Ostentatous displays and profit
gate expenditures come to be regarded as nee
ssary concomitants Of official station, and it
is felt that the main object Of office is not to
discharge ones duties to the country, but to
thereby attain sudden riches and indulge In a
shoddy magnihcence. The natural result of all
this must inevitably be, that corruption and
venalty will walk unabashed and almost unre-
buked through every department Of the Gov
eminent, Moreover, such evil examples not
only shed their perniciouS influence through the
place hunting and place-holdng classes, but
reach the very roots of society. They infame
the young men of the land with passion for
wealth as the great object of life. They tend
TO make lucre the badge Of honorable distnc-
ton, and the possession ofrches the sole pass
port to power, eminence, or even respectable
| ty,
Is it not high time that the masses of the
people, who neither seek nor hold office, should
labor for the return Of the good old times OF
republican simplicity, when statesmen felt a
stain as wound; when the dispenser of pat
ronage would scorn to feed his poor relations
from the public crib; and when a President
would cut off his right hand ere it should sign
the commission of man who had bestowed
upon him gift?

Concerning Smut.

Bro. Simpson, of the Belfast Journal, makes
his paper not only spicy but smutty. Port
land Transcript.
Designing to look at the matter fairly, we
think our Portland brother IS fastidous. 1t
sharp, crisp, facetious and spicy, without being
what some people must call smutty, or i'm
modest-but we will venture the opinion that
few such papers, or even eminent writer's, are
free from that faint, fit be one A jest, or joke,
or reparee, which embodies a double entendre
are not slow to tind it out. What the readers
appreciate and seek for will be furnished, Of
course within reasonable limits. But mere in
decency, grossness unrelieved by either wit or
wisdom, is an offence to all but fools-and Is
moreover an evil that works its own cure. A
sheet that should take that course would sim
ply commit suicide. While there are American
wits whose productions are not open to the re-
proach suggested they bear no comparison, in
effectiveness, to those that are. SAKE and Dr.
Homes, for instance, Who are fastidiouS, merely
prick the skin, while Prentice, whose rcpartees
are not always modest, transtiXes his victims
with jayelin. He has never need to aim
second one. For instance
The editor Of the Wing says that Secrecy
is ever badge Of guilt Then why does he
wear breeches?
We remember his comment on paragraph
stating that Mrs Cross had given birth to
child weighing but one pound 'that Cross
wasn't hard to bear
Tom Hood, who generally respected the pro-
prietes of life, certainly did not those of death
His sacrilegious wit sported without restraint
with the remains of poor mortality, as if human
clay was tit only as q target for witticlsm. In
his Waterloo Ballad, he represents a girl
hunting on the battlefield fer the corpse Of her
dead lover
