A Democratic Lie Nailed.

Mr., COVER II see it stated i'm this
weeks Democrat, in an article in re-
gard to the nomination Of Mr.. Bush
nell as Republican candidate for the
Assembly from this district, that il
being well known that Potosi would
not be represented in The convention
Mr.. Bushnell dispatched horse and
buggy and brought up one Griffith to
represent the town and had him adj.
mitted to cast the vote of Potosi.
This statement is lie out of whole
cloth and | wish 10 publish it as sucb.
| am the man, Griffith, referred to
who was III that convention. | had
not been at home for three DAYS pre-
vious, but was on business in the
Hurricane and went to Lancaster on
foot thinking to get ride home, and
knew that no one IN Lancaster bad
any idea of my coming. Neither
Mr.. Bushnell or any other person
asked me whether | would vote for
him, but | did vote for him and all
the other delegates were of nv
opinion have not heard of one
word Of dissatisfaction in P0tosi With
my action,
Mr.. Democrat must get up better
lies tnan this TO draw off any Repub-
lican votes from our candidate in Pc.

giving peaceful and loyal citizens the
protection and security our laws
guarantee them. Mr.. Doolittle had
at different times in the Senate main
tanned it to be the right aud duty of
the Federal authority to interfere in
cases such as recited. The General
closed his speech by putting to vote
the question whether or not the Ku
Klnx outrages upon loyal men in the
South should be permitted to con-
tinue and the perpetrators 90 I'M
punished. A faint response of a dozen
voices in the affirmative was followed
by laundering NO that shook the
very walls of the court building.
The Bloomington band was present
and furnished enlivening strains of
music between the speeches. Mr..
Doolttle closed the debate with half
hour speech. 1t was an eloquent APP
peal to the democracy to accept him,
with "all his faults" and vascillating
course. He bad repented and
would try to do better. Was not the
slave OF the past, and his record
would not bind him 10 the future. II
answered Genera! Washburns argu-
ments in favor Of Ku Klux suppress
sion, by presenting as in his first
speech, the old State Rights doc
trine of Calhoun little whilewashed.
Dolittle closed with fine oratoricaI
flourish upon The Capitalization OF
power"
On the whole the day was grand
victory for the Republicans Of Gran t.
Mr.. Doolittle's speech was to him or
the neutrality-suspicious. of Grant
Co. no credit, and it will be hard fol
the democracy to support him. Gen
Washburn's speech was clearly and
torcibly presented, and his overturn-
ing OF the arguments Of his adver.
sary was as complete as his past
record is sound and acceptable to all
Republicans.

A Man Without A Party.
From the Milwaukee sentinel,


Edward Everett Hale once rave
US remarkable magazine article en-
titled "a Man without Country. ("
and if be had known Mr.. Doolittle's
past political history, he might write
another upon "The Man without a
Party" DooIittly prides himself up
on being one of those earnest" men
who are fixed and immovable in their
political principles, and although par
ties may change, ne is the same yes
to-day, today and forever. 1t is
wonderful how the parties TO which
Dooittle has heretofore belonged,
have ran away and left him high and
dry upon the sands Of time. He was
originally Jeflersonian Democrat,
but in 1913 that tried old party de-
serted him and left him with the Free
Sellers. As Mr. Van Buren, was not
elected, the Barn Burners ran away
from Mr.. Doolitte, and in 1852 he was
found advocating the election Of
Franklin Pierce and swallowing the
Infamous Fugitive Slave Act and all
other pro-slaveTy acts that he had
fought against in 48 He had not
changed but the parties had. In 1856
the country was aroused by the acts
of the border ruffians in Kansas, and
Doolittle was then in Wisconsin, act
ing with the Democratic party. He
was a candidate for Congress before
the Democratic Convention, but, fail
ing IN that, be again found his party
leaving him, 50 that he might consists
emily take the office of United States
Senator from the Republicans. After
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln, and
the administration Of affairs fell into
the hands Of Andrew Johnson, this
wonderfully consistent man discover
ed that the Republican party had so
changed and degenerated that il had
gone out and left him alone, and he
was once more a man without par.
ty. True, this had so often happen.
ed TO him that he had got used TO il
somewhat, but it did not affect him
very deeply. Next, be organized the
great johnson party at Philadelphia
IN August, 1866, but that party was
scarcely Matched and put in operation
by all the otficeholders, at the dictar
ton of Randall and Doolttle. before
1t, too, took to its heels and left him
alone in his glory. Now the electors
OF Wisconsin are asked to give thi,
Wandering Jew in politics an offlcC

that Will make him respectable in his
old age; but we greatly fear that the
people, like all those parties to which
he has belonged, will run away fro m
him in November, and leave him
again in his consistent desolation.

j. c. Holloway for the Senate.

The Democrats have not yet found
one OF their number who will oppose
the republican nominee for the Sen
ate. Doubtless, however, just upon
the eve of the election - name will
come forward with the empty honor
Of nomination for the vote of the OPP
position. While there are no grounds
TO fear the result Of the Senatorial
election, it is all important that the
full republican vote be cast for our
worthy nominee, Hon. j. Q. Hol-
loway. The effect Of great majorities
is worth the effort Of every true Re-
publican. Let Mr.. olloway's vote
on Tuesday next indicate what the
Republicans Of Grant county can ac-
compIish at the great roll call for
President in 1872. We append the
following complimentary notices of
the nominee from our exchanges
abroad
From the Rchlaad Co. Republican,
The promotion Of Hon. j. c..
Holloway, of Grant county, in max
ing him the Republican candidate for
State Senator was an expression of
confidence well merited aud hand
somely bestowed. 1t does no always
occur, in the distribution Of political
tavors that quiet, transformations
worth is so cheerfully recognized, and
we congratulate the Republicans Of
Grant county upon the honor which
they have done themselves in their
selection. Such men as Mr.. IL. gives
character and force to our Legisat-
ures, and more of them should be
sent there.
From tho Milwaukee Sentinel
The Grant county Republicans,
by nomination, have placed J G.
Holloway on the short cut to the
state Senate. The nominee served
well as an Assemblyman, last winter,
and deserves the sure promotion.

Republicans to the Rescue.

The Democracy of Wisconsin are
this Fall making the strongest Of
forts they have made for years, aud
arc especially scheming to carry one
or both branches OF our State legisla-
ture. A majority in either Senate or
Assembly next winter would enable
them to centrol the re>districting of
our State into CongressionalDi Districts,
which the law requires TO be done by
our next legislature. Give them the
re-districting Of the State and we
give them tlo0, it not three, Demo>
cratic Congressman Instead of the
one to which only they are entitled.
Grant county furnishes fair speci
men Of the tactics Of the Democracy.
Their leaders delay making their To-
cal nominations until the last mos
ment, but in the mean time they
scruple at no misrepresentation, hes
itatc at no falsehood, to stir up dis
sention aud discord among the Re-
publicaEs OF our county, create dis
satisfaction and encourage independ-
ent Republican candidates BY this
means they expect to divide our vote,
cause some Republicans to stay away
from the election, and having their
own party well in hand, blindly sub
servient to the will Of their masters
as they are, by full democratic vote
elect their candidates.
lndependentRepublcan candidates,
will you be made, or make your
selves, The tools Of the Democracts +?
| II so, you belle your principles and ale
no true Republicans.
Republicans of Grant county will
you permit yourselves to be so duped
by the low cunning Of the Demo-
cratic leaders, aided by few chronic
grumbers and wofuIly mised Re-
publicans,as to allow this programme
TO be carried out? If not, then 90
to the polls, and see that all your
neighbors go, and vote for the regu-
| lar Republican nominees, who are all
honorable and safe men, who will do
their whole duty as Republicans in
the respective offices they are nom
mated te fill. BY so doing you will
defeat these schemers OF the Demo-
cratic leaders and secure triumph
which may assist in a greater degree
than the most sanguine now hope, in
the maintenance Of republican prin-
ciples, and avoid a defeat that might
entail upon our party unthought of
disaster.
Let us not incur the disgrace of
useless ami causeleSS defeat in the cleo
ton Of a single Republican candidate
in old Grant.

DR.. Ferrin for the Assembly.


The State Journal thus compli-
ments the action of the Republicans
in the Third Assembly District in
the choice of DR.. S. A. Ferrin for the
Assembly
"The Republicans of the Boscobel
district in Grant county have put in
nomination for the Assembly Dir. S.
A. Ferrin, of Wingville. This is an
other and worthy recognition of the
services Of the men who stood by
the government in its dark hour of
peril. DR.. Ferrln enlisted as a pri-
vate in the Thirty-second Regiment
Wisconsin Volunteers, and serving
three months in that capacity was
promoted to Acting Assistant Sur
geoR by the Surgeon General of the
United States, and spent two years
In hospital duties in the South -
Broken down in health, bio came
home, but soon offered his services
again TO his country, and was com
missioned Assistant Surgeon Of the
Forty-fourth Regiment, and remain.
ed in the service until the close of
the war. By close application to his
profession since his return from the
service he has acquired a reputation
among the first in Grant county.
A good public speaker; straight
forward upright man, and sound
Republican, he deserves the hearty,
united support of the Republicans Of
his district"
The Doctor will receiCe the full
vote of his district Notwithstaud-
ing report of som, dissatisfaction
throughout the district at his nomin-
alton, and the publication in the
Witness Of an unfathered letter to
that effect, we are assured by
many of the reading republicans in
the district that. there is no DISPOSE
ton TO bolt the nominee. Let the
republicans be not deluded by the
misstatements of the democracy, and
be out in full force at the polls and
vote for DIR. Ferrip.

DR.. Cory VS.. Griffis and the Democ-
raCV.

With single exception the repub-
lioan nominations in this county are
entirely satisfactory 10 the party
friends.
1t seems that in tho Western As
sembly district consi Ierable breeze
is astir over the choic, Of the Assem-
bly, convention, not, rs we under
stand it, because Dr. Cory was nom.
mated, but for the manner in which
be was nominated That DR.. Cory
is a sound republican, most excel.
lent citizen, an honest and trust
worthy man, and would make a
wise and prudent legi slator, we have
not heard doubt or denial. These
qualities certainly entitIe the Doctor
to the support of every Republican,
unless his nomination was secured
by fraud. The testimony thus far
shows nothing of the kind Friends
may have been over jealous in his
behalf, but not more SO than the
friends of the independent candi-
date" were before and since the con
vention. The fact is the Repub.
Leans over there are "spoiling for u
fight" among themselves. They
want to "bust" something, If they
have to bust themselves
Figure the majority as close AS
you will, gentlemen Republicans of
the West, if Mr. Grffis, the indie
pendent candidate, receives anything
like half support Of the party, the
Democrats will elect member of
the Legislature. And who will be
chastened? Not Bennett, or War.
ner, or Cory, or Griffis, or any indi-
vldual partisan, but the Republican
party. Here is where the great
mistake and danger lies, and this
every Republican voter in the Fourth
District should consider before cast
ing his ballot for any man other than
the regular Republican nominee.

cordingly turned ont of the hospital
and started for the front, but he still
boasts Of having again ''come il" over

Mr.. Woodmap and Mr.. Williams

gate with whom | exchanged word
relative to the nomination, and
against whom | never held any claim

it is hardly necessary to say that the
paragraph above quoted is as harm
less as it is scurrllous and untrue
know Of my own knowledge that
DR.. Cory is a most honorable man,
honorably nominated, and Mr. War
ner greatly mistakes the temper Of
the Republicans of this district if he
hopes atithis hour, when need of har-
monious, united action on the part
of the Republican party never was
greater, to induce them to bolt the
regular nominoe-able, honest, eff.
cient, and eminently worthy the Of
fice-simply to indulge the personal

Another Tilt at Warner.
From the Democrat. J

From the Democrat
EDITOR DEMOCRAT In your issue
Of last week an effort was made to
show that Mr. Gritfis, Of Little Grant,
was the popular prospective Repub>
lican nominee for the Fourth Assem-
bly, District, but by little strate-
getic maneuvering DR.. Cory was
nominated against the wishes of the
people. have no acquaintance
with Mr. Griffis and certainly no per-
sonal objections to him. but the sim
pie fact that Mr. Warner champions
his cause has already cast shadow
of suspicion over bis name in the
minds of the better class 81 voters,
as that gentleman is known to be a
boiling disoTgapizer.
You say in the Democrat, that but
tew t0,ons sent delegates to the con-
vention then one Of two things is
true either that Mr. Griifis' friends
were limited ia number, or they
we're not much interested in his nom
inatioD, otherwise you would not
have been obliged to chronicle the
fact that but few towns woro repre-,
scented.
If DR.. Cory is capable Of making
himself delegate in spite of al Mr..
Griffis' friends, he is just the man 70
send to the legislature, for he viii be
likely to accomplish something for
his constituents
l am pleased to find Mr., Warner
opposed to the DR.. and hope that he
will continue to write against him
until the election, as | have beard a
number Of prominent Democrats say
that they will vote for DR.. Cory now
anyhow, no matter who else is nom
mated on the other side.
/ wonder if Mr.. Warner remem-
bers the time when white-haired
patriarch persuaded rival candi-
date to exchange votes with him so
they might not vote for themselves,
and after his opponent had cast his
ballot for the venerable philosopher
the latter gentleman r0ted for him
self, and was elected by one majority.

AGRIcULTURAL-The agricultural

perature in September have been un-
favorable for ripcning fruits or matur-
ing corn or other crops No serious
damage has resulted to corn The
product of wheat is seven per cent.
less than last year, and the quality
generally superior. 1t is placed
above the average Ia all the Western
states except Kentucky, Iowa and
Nebraska. The oat crop will be
about as large as last year. The
quantity of barley is said to be fully
medium. The quality is very nearly
the average. The buckwheat crop is
comparatively poor. The potato
crop is below the average. The mum.
