DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

Captain John futile of Bristol, Ken
osha County, is the Democratic Candidate
for Senator He is an old resident of
Bristol, and a farmer by occupation. And
he is none of Of the modern Captains who
have sprung up in day He was Cap
tain John futile from our earliest remem
brance of him, twenty or more years ago
And Captain futile is a good farmer, and
generous hearted man, who likes him
self, and others when he and they think
alike and agree in politics,Fand sometimes
when they don't. He is Democrat, and
says he is az old Jackson Democrat. And
it is probably true that he was a Jack
son Democrat, and it is equally true that
he has deteriorated with the Democracy.
But Captain John is so much of Rib
Van Wrinkle that he probably thinks
jackson Democracy and Modern Democ.
racy are the same. In agricultural i'm.
provements and general intelligence he
has advanced with the times, but in poll.
tics Captain John has been asleep for
quarter of a century. And, as the Democ
racy of this Senatorial District are in
clined to embrace the New Democratic
Departure and yet have no expectation Of
electing their candidate, they hit upon
the plan of nominating Captain John
with the view of giving him a good shake
in hopes of waking him from lis Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep and preparing him to
embrace their New Departure Such
being their intentions and good will to
wards Captain John we are not inclined
to throw any obstacle in their way We
will acknowledge however that we await
with some curiosity, the shaking and the
waking, and what Captain John Tuttle
and the Old Jackson Democrat will have
to say of Modern Democracy aud the
New Democratic Departure.
Frederick Robinson of Kenesha is the
Democratic candidate for member of the
Assembly Mr.. Robinson is a druggist
by occupation, and Democrat in poll
tics. AS business man and citizen we
shall say nothing of Mr.. Robinson. AS a
legislator, if elected, we have right to
speak of him. We do not think he would
secure the passage Of a law saddling the
City Debt on the County, for two reasons
LIST. We do not think he and the party
he would represent would desire the
pas sage of such a law. 3D. IF he and
they did desire the passage of such law,
we do not think he could possibly secure
its passage. His ability and influence
would be entirely inadequate for such
purpose, And it would probably be
doing Mr.. Robinson no injustice to say
that his ability and influence would be
inadequate to secure the passage of any
law, however just it might be, and how
ever much its passage might be desired.
One experiment of sending Member to
the assembly without ability or influence
ought to be sufficient without trying the
experiment the second time. In the AS
sembly, Mr.. Robinson would generally
vote as he thought was. right, but other
wise he could give but little help to nee.
essary legislation. In committee, he
would give but little aid to the commit
tee At Madison, he would be hale
fellow we'll met" with others like him.
self Altogether, Frederick Robinson
is not just the man the people of Ken
osha county should have to represent
them in the Assembly. Fortunately
there is better, and ADLER, and more re-
liable candidate for the office. And as
the people are not just now in the mood
to try the second experiment, there is
scarcely even chance for the election OF
Frederick Robinson.
