The Candidate.

We extract the following short
sketch of Hon. j. Allen Barber, can
didate for Congress, from the Mil
waukee Wisconsin,, written by A. f.
Moore, while in attendance at the
convention, and embodied in his cor
respondence:
Judge Barber is a native Vermont
or, sixty years Of age. He is still in
his intellectual prime, and full of in
tellectual .vigor. He spent two
years in college and two in the law
office Of Hon. Geo. p. Marsh. He
came to Grant in 1887, bringing no
means, but his staunch New England
virtues and clear strong brain. He
has made his home in Grant for a
third of q century. He has acquired
quarter million of property and a
prominent State reputation. He
was four years in the State Assembly
and two in the Senate. lie was cho-
sen speaker in 1863, as a speaker he
was not o success. He was counted
little too, "crochety" had too much
Of the "pro and con" in his intellect.
and was not quite up to the bump OF
self-esteem. He is one of the best
lawyers and jurists in the State-al-
ways prudent in his management,
and clear, concise and logical in
analysis and argument. The Judge
was counted on all sides the strong
est man in the convention, and was
the marked figure on the ground.
He was set off with a long tailed
coat and plain blue cap. At times
he mixed in freely and friendly with
all at others, he wandered apart to
enjoy q little brown study. He
electioneered no one. 1t would be a
pecuniary loss to him, he said, to go
to Congress. He would like, how
ever, very well to go-"to be useful
in his place, see more of our country,
and become acquainted with the
great men that meet at the capital. y
IL is now or never with him, his last
and browning opportunity.

prevent any Establishments of the
late Northern wing of the rebellion
from leading any one to forget it's
real record.
Since the war, also, the party has
consistent. Every step in the re-
construction has been contested, and
every measure to protect the Union
men of tho South has been bitterly
opposed. The various rights sought
to be conferred on the colored pOpu-
lation the freedom of the courts ;
the opening Of the United States
Courts TO Union men prosecuted for
aiding the Government the Fif-
teenth amendment and all the legis-
lation to enforce it; in short, each
and every attempt on the part Of
the Government to secure the results
of the war has received the undivid-
cd opposition of the Democratic
party. Its record can be summed
up in q few words:
1. A Democratic Administration
plunged the nation into war.
2. Through all the years of the
struggle the Democratic party went
TO the verge of active treason to en-
courage the rebels.
3. Since the war, the same party
has endeavored by all the means at
it's control to thwart the Government
in it's efforts TO preserve what it's
army secured.
At the coming election loyal peo-
pie are to decide whether they
can afford to commit the interests of
the nation in its hands.

is that when difficulties arise between

Wisconsin Politics.

Everything indicates that there
will be neither break nor division in
the compact Republican line, in Wis
consin, this fall All the conflicting
elements have been brought into har-
monious relations and as fast is can
didates are nominated, all strife is at
an end.
In the First Congressional district,
Judge Lyon, Of Racine, will probably
lead the Republican host, and his OPP
ponent will be Alex. Mitchell of Mil
waukee, a gentleman as unfortunate
in politics as fortunate in money get
ting. The district is a close one, or
dinarily, but Lyon cannot be beat, if
put in the field
In the Second district, Gerry w.
Hazelton has been put in the field,
with no Democratic opponent, as yet.
Any opposition will be matter of
party form.
The Republicans of the third dis
trict have nominated j. Allen Bar
Der, one Of the old, landmarks Of
pioneer life, a gentleman more widely
and favorably known than any other
candidate. He is not excelled in abil-
ity by any man in the West. AS
yet, he has no opponent.
The fourth district is strongly
Democratic, and has renominated
Chas. A. Eldredge, more generally
known as the "Great Director" The
Republic will nominate an opposing
candidate.
The fifth will undoubtedly honor
itself by returning the old republican
wheelhorse, Philetus Sawyer, gen.
tleman who, to every good quality
as legislator, has the additional
merit Of an almost unbounded per-
sonal popularity. The Colonel has
been in Congress many years, and
desires to escape denomination, but
the people of his district will prove
too much for him. He will have to
go back.
In the Sixth, Gen. ]. NJ. Rusk is
the Republican nominee, a gentleman
in every way qualified, and whose
election will be credit to the state.
From this it will be seen that
changes will be, or have been, made
in the First, Second, Third, and Sixth
Districts-Generals Paine, Atwood,
Cobb, and Washburn, retiring. All
the indications show the party to be
united, patriotic, and in perfect ac-
cord, and on anything like full vote,
the majorities will be overwhelming.
Chi dgo Republican.

PARIS, Sept. ga profound peace

PARIS, Sept. 16.-A profound peace
has come over the city. This peace
occasioned by feelings of ISOLATION
We now first realize the fact that we
are cut off almost entirely from the
outside world, and dependent on our
own efforts for it is believed that if
the present mail gets through it must
be lost, its probably the last that will
be permitted to come to the capital,
Earnest work and contempt of death
must be the lot of all who remain in
side the walls of Paris.
People are terribly calm there is
no outward evidence of fear, no brayr
ado or fourishing, where the spirit
OF patriotism breaks forth audibly, it
has the appearance Of ferceness and
desperation.

PARIS, Sept. 15.-News of the
American offer of mediation is receiv-
ed with great gratitude, but General
Clussrt advised the people, last night,
at Belleville, to refuse mediation, and
fight. He said that if the army, who
having been towards, or betrayed
and routed, say to the people you
cannot succeed wncre we failed, it
makes no difference-the real people
are universally in the.highest spirits.
They will certainly fight ten times
better than the army, and if the
French republic conquers alone tho
freedom of her soil, it will not only
be guarantee forever of republican
institutions for France, but for all the
world. Death and danger there
must be. Even among the bour-
geoise the same feeling prevails, and
strange to say the only weak ele-
ments are the officers comeing in
from McMahon's army.
The amount of material ond men
accumulated in Paris is frightful.

lutions, and felt mistaken confidence
in her success In the vital matter
of individual intelligence, education
and self-respcct the superiority of
the Prussian rank and file over the
French peasantry is incalculable.
But men are astonished at the vast
disparity between tho two nations,
disclosed by the war, and endeavor
to account for it in various. ways
If the French people, as some think,
are struck with death and decay, the
Napoleonic dynasty has FASTENED, If
not caused, the catastrophe. 1t is
estimated that q million of French
men, the flower of France and it's
noblest blood, were sacrificed to graf
ify the ambition of the first Napoleon.
The men left at home to repeople
France with future generations, were
such as he blotted from his remorse-
less CONSUMPTION rolls on account of
mental or physical infirmity. While
the uncle preyed on the bodies of his
countrymen by the million, the
nephews endeavored to eat out their
brains and deprive them of the pres
ence and stimulant Of leading pro-
gressive minds. Louis Blanc, Ledra
Rollin, Victor Hugo and thousands
Of other were banished or imprison-
ed. Rochefort scorned the tyrant
in his prison. No nation is capable
of development if it imprisons and
banishes its prophets, it's progressive
spirits-its Phillips, it's GarrisO ms,
Greeley's, Beechers and John
Browns, impracticable as some of
their projected reforms may be.
Fortunately, we did not do so
when, years ago, the slave power
demanded it, and now our unexam-
pied national greatness and power
has broad basis to rest upon in
the proper use and love of that men
tai and civil freedom these leading
spirits have enlarged and inspired.
But poor France, reduced in blood
and brains by the cGrniverous dy-
nasty Of the Bonapartes, now melts
like snow before the invading myri-
ads of Germany. Ii was not France
that initiated this war. 1t was her
desperate ruler who plunged her in
to war and woe to accomplish ends
which every true Frenchman abhor-
red from the bottom of his heart
The United States, and all neutral
nations, ought now to demand of
King William, in the name of hui
manity and civilization, to stop the
diabolical and fiendish slaughter of a
people, who not only declare they
entertain no hostile feelingsItowards
him or Prussia, but are ready to him
as a deliverer from a fetid and chok-
ing despotism, more intolerable than
the desolations of war. France is
now republic, and if King William
refuses to treat with her because she
is republic, this country at least
ought to abandon all diplomatic in
tercourse with him, and broadly
hint to the Prussian nation that it
ought forthwith to establish repub-
lie in Berlin which His Majesty will
be Obliged to respect.
