nomination. "Again, we have the
pleasure Of recording the nomination
Of a most excellent and experienced
man for the Assembly. Hon. W. w.
Field, Of Grant county has received
the Republican nomination in the
Boscobel district. Mr.. Field has had
much experience as Legislator, and
has ever been found able and efficient
in that capacity. He was Il member
Of the Assembly in 1855, and was
among the true men ofthat body, dis
tinguished for being the first Republi-
can Assembly in Wisconsin. Heserv-
cd in the years 1924 and 5, and
the last two years was Speaker of the
House. His great capacity and ex-
perience will render him very val
liable and influential member of the
next Assembly, and we rejoice to see
such mon brought out for Legislative
positions. OF Mr.. Fields election
there can be no doubt"

nee for the Assembly in the Boscobei
District. He will beyond question bo
elected. Mr.. Field served in the AS
sembly in 80 and again from 90 to So
inclusive the last two years as speak
er. Able, experienced, prompt and
energetic he will Immediately take a
leading position and very probably
be selected as the speaker Of the next

that an unusual number OF the best
men OF the commonwealth are being
placed in nomination this fall We
believe we can safely predict that the
next legislature will rank amongst the
most able that ever assembled in Wis
consin."

Bismarck on the Situation |!
SURRENDER of METZ!

LONDON, Oct. %.
Our correspondent at the headquar-
tiers Of the Prussians at Versailles
writes Oct. 81: / had an opportu-
nifty to-day to hear Bsmarck's opin-
ion regarding the political and mill
tary situation. He declared that the
position OF Prussia had never chang
ed from the hour ofthe declaration of
war by France to the present, Com
PEELED unwillingIy to draw the sword,
he declared that they would never
sheath it until Germany was safe
from further cruel acts, ambition and
and insolence of her unprincipled
neighbour He makes the declaration
now, confident in the justice Of t
cause. Said Bismarck: ave ant B.
pated victory, but it was left to the
experience of war to tell us what
guarantees would effectually accom-
plish the object we had in view at the
commencement. The blood treasure
and suffering it cost us to win our
past victories, convinces the Prussian
nation that they can hope for no full
security without retaining those ter
ritories wrenched from Germany for
the purpose of aggression, lust and
conquest Prussia earnestly desires
peace, bu. only peace which will
give full security for the future" In
reply to a question whether Germany
is able to stand long campaign, he
said: "The people who talk Of the
exhaustion Of Germany are utterly
ignorant ofthe facts. We have large
resources at hand, and the hardest
work is over. While we are anxious
for peace, we have no fear for the fu-
ture." Regarding an armistice, he
said "The changes Of war compli-
Gated the negotiations for peace
Prussia is willing to listen to propos-
ais seeking an end of the war from
any quarter likely to lead to practical
results in view Of the disorganized
state of France, no matter whether it
comes from the Emperor or the pres
cnt provisional government. An ar
mistice is useless, unless made so as
to lead to peace"

ss@- The Democracy Of Lafayette
county have found much to admire
in the military record Of Peter Brady
of New Diggings and have nominal
ed him for Sheriff of that county
The Darlington Republican makes
some charges against Brady's record,
among which is desertion from the
army. The Darlington Democrat,
rod-hot for the nearly lost cause
over there, answers as follows:
mir. Brady served his time faith
fully in the army, was honorably dis
charged, and received from the gov
eminent at Washington the bounty
he was entitled to. If his record had
been in any way furnished, it would
have been Impossible for him to re-
ceive his bounty. That fact sets Mt
rest all such charges that can be
brought against him. He has been
fully exonorated by the proper au-
thorities and properly rewarded for
services in the army. The malice of
superior officers cannot always fol-
low a soldier He is the superior of
his opponent in every point, and one
Of the best educated men in the
county"
We happen to know something of
Brady's military history lie was a
member Of Co. c., 50th Wis. Infant
ry Vols, organized in the Spring of
1865. After a summers campaign
in Missouri and Kansas the regiment
was ordered to Fort Rice, Dakota
While enroute Brady deserted his
company and regiment. near Omaha,
Aug. Both. He was apprehended in
the western part of Iowa, Sept. 1st
and was returned TO his regiment
under arrest. After arrival Of the
troops at Fort Rice he was court
marttdled for deSerti0n, found guilty
Of deSerttOn and sentenced for desertiOn
according to the rules of war. The
great distance Of the station from q
military prison rendered it impossi-
bic for Brady to be put upon the SER
vice of his sentence by the Court
until the return of the regiment to
the States in the Spring following -
His subsequent good conduct, while
under arrest awaiting the punishment
imposed by the Court, secured for
him the recommendation of his com
pany officers, and Colonel of the
regiment, to the commanding Gen
erai to return him to duty to bis
company. lie was returned to his
company June I'd, 1866, upon such
recommendation. Thus through the
lenency of his officers he was saved
punishment for the crime but be
was nevertheless u deSerter, and no
subsequent acts could or can ever
blot out from his record the great
crime charged to him. "Served his
time fdiHJUly in the army" Will
the Democrat tell us how many such
faithful soldiers" it would have tax
en- to put down the rebellion?

This is the oil-year in politics and
