Arepublican newspaper NORTH rcpeats
/ the stale falsehool that Mr. Doolittie took
up lis residence two wears ago intGhieaga,
and publishes has business card as evidence.
+ Nearly al the faIsehoods ami caiunuics Of
7 the campaign have originated with this
| news paper, and TO mention It's name Is
sufficient rcfutation Of any charge it may
make. Its fippancy and peryersious.ot
+ truth are likely, however, to meet q "short
| stop" as it viii be busy hcnceforwarj in
( fighting a libel suit, which 1t incurred By
the charge chat Anton Klaus is a dcflultar
to Brown County. The newspaper refer
red to is published in Oshkosh, AMI IS call
ed the Northeastern.
This particular falsehool as to Mr. Doc
I Titles residence is not Of the least earthly
consequence. 4 mans residence, under
our laws, Is the piece which, in his own
mind, he chooses to call such. Mr.. Doc
little might both keep house in Chicago
and do business there, without losing his
legal residence in Wisconsin, a members Of
Congresskeep house and hold tiieir CiIces at
Washington, without losing their legal resi-
dcncc in the States which thcv represent,
ana as our state officers move their families
to Madison and live there dGIing their terms
Of Office, without losing their residence III
the counties from which they were elected.
The Hon Curtis Mann did business in this
city while representing Naukcsha County
two wears in the State Senate. Mr. Doc
little also rTactises law IL S.. Louis: hut
he does not reside there any more dian he
does in Chicago. If this were purely a lc-
gal question, AIr. DooIittle would no. have
lost his residence in this State; but it is
not. Is a matter Of fact, he has never
moved away from Racine. The Racine
-Arg1s says on the subject:
"Thc radical Papers Of this State utter q
deliberate and Wililul lie, when they state
that Senator Do9iittlcs residence Is POW in
Chicago, or that lie has ever resided there
We have resided in Racine Is years, and
during the whole time, Mr.. DO0liltlc has
resided in Racine and in the same house"
We suppose that this settles the question
so far Is Sir. DQoiittic IS concerned. But
how Is it as to Mr.. Washburnc? All Of his
business interests are in Minnesota. and
have been for years. If lac had not been
elected to Congress, he would have removed
70 Minneapolis, two years ago AMI he had
fully determined 10 remove thither last
spring, but concluded to stay in this State
and run for Governor after he was promis-
81 the support Of the federal administration
and the otace-holicrs rs it involves also
the chance Of going to the United States
Senate in place Of Mr.. Howe, in 1878. If
he Is defeated for Governor, he will move
ont Of the State Immediately, following his
( business interests which have all been
/ transferred to Minnesota. The only prop
I ertv that he has remaining in Wisconsin is
little tract or two Of pine land that he
. Is holding on speculation. and he IS merely
/ hanging on to his residence at la Crosse
I to await the result Of the election We
are afraid THAT in this exposure Of the facts
I as to Mr.. Washburne's residence we have
laid ourselves liable to the charge Of malig-
nifty: for there are hosts Of republican poll
( ticians on whose corns he has trod for a
4 dozen years past, who will accept any alter
tentative that involves his departure from
/ tie State. And devoted as thc,- are to the
cause of rcpublicanism, their ''truly loyal
/ zeal would find some way to be solaced in
his defeat if it was certainly known that
he would soon after cease to lie cone ofus."
