One Word More.

AS Tuesday next is the day which is to
decide the fate of over twelve hundred can
didatcs in the State of Wisconsin alone,
over six hundred to be elected and the
same number to be defeated it behooves
every voter who comes to the polls-aDd
every voter in the State should be there
to study well his duty in the matter, and
see to it that in casting hsvote he does not
sustain or advance the interests of an un
worthy cause, and see to it that he does
not help to elevate to office men
who are unfit and incapable of assuming
the responsibilities placed on them. In
looking over the Republican candidates we
are unable to see one who is not eminently
fitted for the position he is striving for,
and we think the party is unusually fortu-
nate in this county in having selected good,
honest, capable, and the greater partpopular
men for the county Offices to be filled. 1t
is ticket that no man need to be asham
ed of. The objection to it, if objection
there an'be, is not that certain men were
placed on it, but that other men who were
anxious for Office, and who were thought
to have claims, were not nominated, and
as the convention was very full one,
every town being fully represented, and
the best selection made which under the
circumstances could be made, we are of
the opinion that all factions, nationalities,
and interests should be concentrated with
the single object of electing the whole Re-
publican ticket, which all Republicans
must acknowledge is by far the best in
the field. Personal dislil1es and preudccs
ought not to enter into this campaign, and
if such exist, he is the best Republican,
and deserving of the greatest favors at the
hands Of the party who can for the time
forget all such feelings, and work for the
good Of the party and the nation. The
Democrats in this county are hungry for
office in Crawford and Lafayette counties
they are almost satiated with power and
public patronage, and are quarreling
among themselves and praying to be delv-
cred from their friends; but in our county
they have only had taste of Office, just
enough to whet their appetites, and they
are strainng every nerve to get control of
the finances, for which they feel to have
quite weakness 5f85 ~
New York city is fair specimen of the
way politics would be managed in the
whole country if the Democracy obtained
power. They are at the present time pre-
pairing to resist with force the acts of Con-
gress passed to compel fair and honest
registry and poll. They feel very indig-
nant at the national government because it
refuses to continue to allow them to again
cast more votes than they have inhabi-
tants, men, women, and children, as they
repeatedly have heretofore. AS a worthy
contemporary says, now is not the time to
experiment upon change Of rulers in
state, nation, county, or city matters. Let
every member of the Republican party in
the State vote for Gen. Fallows for State
Superintendent. Let every voter in this
Congressional district without regard to
party vote for j. Alien Barber for Mem
Der of Congress. Let every republican in the
county, and every democrat who has the
good Of the county at heart, vote for oul
able and competent and honest nominees
for county officers. And as it is important
that The reputation and standing Of
our county should be sustained abroad,
let every true man vote for our nominees
for the assembly. In short, We say to the
Republicans, and to the sensible men of
our county, vote the straight Republican
ticket from Gen. Fallows to Charles Hope,
and your state and county government
will be ably and honestly administered.
