LIBERAL REPUBLICAN, COUNTY
CONVENTION.


.u8ru81 9a5 3o --- 3.
A call for a County Convention of Lib.
eraI Republicans may be found in. the
TELEGRAPH To-day. We publish il on
the representation that there are con-
siderable number of Liberal Republicans
in this County DESTROYS of meeting in
Convention and sending delegates to a
Liberal Republican Congressional Con
vention to lse held at 1Elkhorn to nomin-
ate candidate for Representative in
Congress, and, having go organ Of their
own, asks the publication of the call in the
TELEGRAPH From the representation
we consider it but just to publish the call
for tic convention and shall await results.
If the Liberal Republicans of this county
and Congressional District, by going to
the mountain or by the mountain ostensi-
bly, coming to them, unite with the De
mocracy in the support of the same can,
didate and both become fused into the
Liberal Democracy, having an organ Of
their own, they will have no farther
claims on the TELEGRAPH for the publ
cation of their calls.
We would say 10 all Liberal Republi-
cans of this county,. as Bowles of the
Springfield Republican has recently said
s.
to the Liberal Republicans throughout the
country '"Wait." Wait before making
up your minds to vote for Greeley. SO
we would say to the Liberal Republicans
of this county if there are any: Wait be.
fore making up your minds to vote fol
Greeley. Wait before making up their
minds to fuse with the Democracy either
by going to the Democracy or by the De
mocracy ostepsibIy going to you. Wait
before becoming participants in course
Of action intended to disorganize and de-
feat the Republican party Of this County
of this Congressional District, Of this
State and Of the Nation, and to surrender
the Government of our County INTO the
hands of the Rebel Democracy. Never
has our Country and Government been in
greater danger than now. Well may
Bowles, one of the original movers for
and participants in the Cincinnati Conven
tion, say: "Wait" Well may Hon. Stanley
Mathews, one OF the original movers for
and temporary President of the Cincin
pati Convention, after the nomination Of
Greeley and Brown, "Wait." Well may
he decide not to support Greeley and
Brown with the Democracy on their shout
ders. And well may be, at the call OF his
fellow citizens OF Cincinnati, Ohio, make
one Of the ablest political speeches ever
made on any occasion against the election
Of Greeley and Brown and In favor OF
the election of Grant and Wilson. And
well may hundreds of other Liberal Re-
publicans wait, decide against Greeley
and Brown, and decide in favor of Grant
and Wilson. And we'll may the Liberal
Republicans of this county wait before
commencing political action which, if
successful, must inevitably result in the
defeat of all the purposes which they pro
fess to have in view. l.

Wool is now worth Sc cents in this
market. It is question with producers
whether to sell or wait for higher prices.
Our rule would be to sell whenever fair
price could be obtained, and believing Sc
cents to be fair price for wool we should
sell. The price may be higher or it may
be lower. The seller is sure Of SIS cents,
the holder on is not sure of even that
amount

COMPENDIUM OF POLITICS.

The colored men of Detroit have unan-

Henry S. Foote, tie absurdizt and
sloshiest political blatherskite in the Uni
ted States has written letter in favor Of
Greeley.
There are q great many Scandinavians
in st. Crolx county, large majority of
whona the Hudson Star and Times assures
us are for Grant.
The Washington Star says that every
member OF the delegation addressed by
Mr.. Sumner in his letter is now an avoWed
Grant man. ,ga ,.4, .o
! At Saratoga, Mrs H. B. Stowe told Gov.
Hoffman that Greeley had gone to Jerico
and fallen among thieves. and that they
were just stripping him naked.
The exposure Of Greeley's long. contin-
ued bargaining with the Democrats has
driven many Liberal Republican support
ers from MIN in ali parts Of the country.
The Boston Journal says: "You can
prove anything by the process which Mr..
Sumner adopts in his letter. All you
have to do is to assert IL, and take no no
tice of anything to the contrary. ~.

The Waupun Leader says: "After due
and diligent search we have been unable

Thirteen members Of the class Of 1892,

WHEN the Chicago Tribune associates
President Grant with Boss Tweed, and
represents them as a trucking combination
it is guilty of a meanness of which it
should be heartily ashamed. If there was
anything of that honor with the Tribune
of which its editor is the eulogist, but
the exponent, it would make public re-
traction.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIoN.-An cleo
ton for State Officers, Members OF the
Legislature and Representatives in Con-
gress was held in North Carolina on the
1st inst. The first report and before returns
were received from more than half dozen
counties was thatthe Democrats had car
ried the State by ten thousand majority.
The last report is that the Republicans
have carried the entire State ticket oy
majori:ies ranging from fifteen hundred
to two thousand The first report was
disputed and so is the last
Tive years ago the Democrats carried
the State by o majority of from 1000 to
5000, elected both houses ofthe Legislature
by large nlajorities, and five out of the sew
en- Representatives in Congress. Now the
Republicans have gained forty Members
Of the Legislature and, elected three OF
four of the eight Representatives in
Congress. And the latest news from
Raleigh yesterday confirms the previous
report that the Republicans have elected
the entire State ticket and that they viii
hold a Jubilee at Raleigh tonight.
The National Republican Committee
have directed the firing of one hundred
guns in New York to-day in honor o.
the result in North Carolina. -. -.

DOUGLAS vs.. SUMNER.
IN his letter. Mr.. Sumner says:

In his letter. Mr.. Sumner says:
Nor can it be forgotten that shortly afterwards
on the return Of the Commission from this island
the Hon. Frederick Douglas. the colored orator
accomplished in manner as in eloquence, was
thrust away from the company of Commissioners
at the common table Of the mail packet on the
Potomac, almost within sight of the Executive
Mansion, simply on account of his color, but the
President, at whose invitation he had joined the
Commission, never uttered word in condemna-
ton of this exclusion, and when entertaining the
returned Commissioners at dinner, carefully
omitted Douglas who was in Washington at the
time, and thus repeated the indignity.
In his speech at Raleigh, Frederick Douglas
said:
know Ulysses Grant. 1t may seem to you a
boast on my part that I, negro-that with fat
nose, distended nostrils-should be an acquain-
lance of the President of the United States. Yet
am. And let me tell you another thing never
was received by any gentleman in the United
States with more kindness, more cordlality, may
say with more conndence--never felt more at
home in the presence Of any gentlemsn-than
I have in the presence of Ulysses s. Grant.
He is a gooa man, true man a steady man. You
and what he will be tomorrow, for ne does not
turn with every wind of doctrine, and for that
reason we want him.
Who speaks best for Frederick Douglas : Mr.
Sumner or Mr.. Douglas himself? And which ap-
pears the nobler man in these utteranCes

It is the same old story. :, A contest be
tween the Republican and the Democratic
parties. Those Republicans who at the
outset identified themselves with the lib.
eral movement, are now engaged in dig
ging themselves out Of unfortunate posi-
tions, the maintenance OF which would be
the loss of popularity and power. It is
the cid fight, then, and on this issue every
man can form an opinion. It was tri.
umph of universal freedom when slavery
was abolished it would bea general ca
lamity if the policy Of equal rights were

Of those who wish to restore some of thu
