What They Are After-To Repub-
licans:

Democrats have lost all hope-it
any they had-of eleoting Doolittle
or any part of their State ticket
The Doolittle load is the greatest
burden the Wisconsin Democracy
have had TO carry for many years
Their work il chiefly so encourage
bolts among the Republicans upon
the Legislative nominations, and
then with full party vote out on
election day hope to gain sufficient
number Of members 30 ride into
Legislative power. 1t is life or
death with the Democracy in Wis
consin this time, and Republicans
can depend upon tho greatest efforts
from that quarter for another lease
OF life as an organization. The
Walworth County Independent, re-
ferring to the split in the White
water Assembly District, appeals to
the Republicans Of the county to
stand firmly by their principles and
see that none but Republicans are
elected to the Legislature. 1t very
truly says:
"Everywhere in the State the De-
mocracy are endeavoring to breed
dssension in the Republican ranks,
and thus get control Of the Legisla-
ture."
The State Journal adds: "Their
"object in SO doing is to secure a
majority TO enable them to gerry
"mander the State in apportioning
"it into Congressional districts, so as
'to give them more Congressmen
ethan they are entitled to; and to
Select Democratic Senators from
"Republican districts, who will hold
cover and help to elect United
Estates Senator year hence. Re-
"publcans should see to it that they
"lend DO aid to the accomplishment
cot such designs" Here is some
good advice viii h the Republicans
Of Grant County should carry home.
Tho Western Assembly District is
Republican by over four hundred
majority and should elect Repub-
lican to the Legislature. But we
fear from the efforts of few disaf.
tected Republicans, urged on by
Democrats, TO bring out an indie
pendent candidate for the Assembly
will throw the District over to the
Democraoy. We urge Republicans
everywhere to lay aside personal
preiudices aud the i'll work of con-
ventions and fall in to the support
Of the whole ticket. Let the test at
the ballot box be sound Republican
ism, honesty and personal fitness for
the office

fFrom tho Racing Advocate ,

Sen. Doolittle asks: where
has the School Fund gone to ?''-
Over two hundred thousand dollars
of it went into Democratic Office
holders pockets-and the Republic,
ans have tried hard to get it back,
but have only succeeded in getting a
little over ninety thousand dollars
The names of the thieving Demo
Gratis can be fonnd in the report of
the School Land issioners for
1864. This ought TO be light enough
upon the subject to satisfy those
who apologize for the Tammanv
frauds and defend the system of bal
lot box stufling. Democracy, thy
sins are many, and they cannot be
overlooked by the people Of Wiscon>
sin.

The Democrat of last week contains
a dismal howl against Republican
action in the Western Assembly Dis
trict 10 the selection OF DR.. Cory, Of
Patch Grove, for the Assembly -
The Democrat feels bad editorially.
II foams with rage and dissppoint-
ment through the Hon. Jared War
ner. What troubles the one is that
the nominee is Republican. What
effects the other is that tie candidate
,cas supported by -Hr. Bennett. Why,
this obnoxious person was an active
supporter Of Gen. Washburn at the
State Convention. The same kind
Of reasoning in this case would throw
Mr.. Warner into the Doolittle pud-
die. If Mr.. Bennett is the point of
objection, there will doubtless be ops
portunity for Mr. w. to measure his
strength with him at some future
time. But to attack u friend of Mr..
Bennett is the supremest folly. 1t
is not our province to say to whom
the nomination belonged. Mr.. Grirr
fis may be just as good man and
Republican. But although DR.. Cory,
it is claimed, voted for himself. it is
likewise true that so also did Mr..
Grifis And although it is a fact
that Patch Grove held no caucus, and
Cory men were admitted to the con.
vention, neither did Wyalusing nor
Waterloo have caucuses and Griflis
men were admitted We learn also
that the Beetown delegation we're,
in the caucus, understood to be for
Cory, but two Of them failing to 90
to the Bloomington convention, Grit.
tis men were admitted. So that Mr..
Grillis and Mr.. Warner are the last
men who should complain at the
action OF the convention. II Mr.. Crit
fs had succeeded in getting nomi.
mating vote by voting for himself as
he did on the informal ballot, the
same chance would then have been
given the other side to bolt. We
urge all Republicans to stand by the
nominee, and adjust their differences
hereafter in properly represented
conventions.

Ku-Klux in South Carolina.


We publish this week the procla.
nation Of tho President suspending
the writ Of Uabeas Corpus in nine
counties of South Carolina, where
dispite all previous threats and
warning on the part Of the Govern
msnt, the Ku,Klux marauders are
still MS rampant and tar more formi-
dable than ever 1t is II very plain
spoken paper, aud its purport can
hardly DO misconstrued. The condi-
ton of affairs in South Carolina and
other Southern States called for this
stringent and wholesome measure of
relief, and its PRONUNCIATION is made
Just in time to prevent the outbreak
Of another rebellion TIE character
OF the work performed by those
trcachorous poltroons since the close
OF the war is familiar to all the world.
II is Of nature that has no prece~
dent in the blacklist annals of crimo;
aud yet the fell deeds which arc daily
aad nightly committed by these ruff
fan hordes are eloquently landed by
men Of the highest ambition and the
finest professions. Men of the Doo-
httlc sort translate their law less cow
ardice into bravery and exemplary
heroism. They are venomous in
thsir denuuciation Of President
Grant and what they are all pleased
TO term the unparalleled tyranny of
bis Administration-an administra-
ton which insures them lie, liberty,
and the pursuit OF happiness.
President Grant is the asst man TO
,rhe with a national evil So heinous
snd so great as the one in question.
ioc position lac has taken in regard
70 the present reign Of terror ID the
south will win for him the gratitude
soa blessings OF every true and loyal
person in the land.
The eVer-memorabie words uttered
by the late Mr.. Lincoln in his first
inaugural address may be most fl.
tInsly transcribed in this connection.
Therein the duties OF the chief mag
istrste of this nation are clearly set
forth, aud with an eloqueuce Of die
ten that we have never seen squat
led. Addressing his dissatisfied fell
iow-countrymen Of the South, Mr..
Lincoln said
"You can have no conflict without
"being yourselves the aggresscrs.-
"You can have no oath registered in
"IIsaven to destroy the government;
"ioAils / hare the most solemn one TO
"preServe, protect and defend ~"

The action of the editor of the

Judge Doolittle for the political rae es

and it reminds US OF the man who

win the race. "Well, no, not hard

is now admitted that the steer won I
win the race. The experiment was

sS'l In regard to home industry he
said, the true doctrine was to place
the tariff high enough upon those
articles that can be produced here,
as well as elsewhere, but for differ
encc in labor, to enable the laborer
here to be well clothed, well housed
and well fed, and being so, to COM
pete with the i'll paid, i'll fed labor of
the old world, but not so high as to
be prohibitive, or to prevent a fair
competition. The tariff on pig iron
was too high. Was made so by
Judge Doolittle, but by help of my
vote was reduced about % per ocnt.
The enormous tariff on tea. c 1ffee, pig
iron, salt, coal. and many other ar
ticles which Judge Doolittle helped
to enact was largely reduced by nv

Here in the Sixth Congressional
District complaint is made by the
Democrats, that no stump speakers
from our side have been sent here
MlllCdukee NeiCS.
The same is true in every Con.
gressional District in this State
The fact is the Democrats do not
take any stock in Truthful James, "
and propose to let him fight the bat
tie on his own hook, take all the
honors, and pay all expenses. AT
present Dooiittle is the only Demo
cratic speaker on the stump in Wis
consin, and so far has failed to get
up any enthusiasm whatever. New
or was a nominee of that party SO
generally deserted and left TO take
care of himself. The Ne,cs has
taken upon its shoulders the task of
electing Doolittle, and has made a
great mistake in it's utter disregard
of truth, commencing with the re.
port of the Republican State Con,
vention, and continued through
every subsequent issue till now gen
eral apathy" has captured the party.

Railroad to the Wisconsin River.


~N@N'A'f
So far, we have said but little in
regard to our railroad interests to
the Wisconsin River. One of the
reasons for not saying much, is the
fact that the whole project was got
ten up and pressed forward without
any appeals to the public, or any
public meetings, or newspaper assist
ance, further than to chronicle the
fact of what had been done. We can
state now, however, that the engin-
GERS have compl ted their work, and
handed over their report to the Di-
rectors, who are we'll satisfied with
it, and we have assurance from those
interested, that, at least the first di-
vision will be put under contract
within sixty days, or sooRer if the
right Of way is obtained They mean
business. While our friends along
the line are croaking and doubling
and specializing as to the chances OF
its being built, the company are press
ing the matter to an early compile
ton, and will have the road under
contract, and the pick aud shovel at
work.
We are asked what effect will the
Chicago Fire have on the construc-
ton of the road May it not retard
its being built? We can only give
the answers furnished US TO the same
questions by the Directors The on
ly effect will be to hasten its com
plstion as necessity. The road
will be completed to the table-land
IN time to carry off next years har-
vests. With that answer, we are
satisfied.

The editor of the Prairie du

make speech in 1865 in which he
attributed ali the woes Of the war to
the Democracy. He alluded to the
death of his son ia the army in The
following language
"My friends, tie Democracy that
are NOR trying to rise into p0Uer in
this State, and that IN d0inq 50 are
appealing to you for your suffrage,
ARE THE ONES, IN A MEAS
URE. | HOLD RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS DEATH. THey tanned

and is always the same.
