THE REGENCY.

Because the Republican Ticket is not
as strong as it might have been made,
our opponents are in high glee, hoping
to gain some advantage by the statement
that the Madison regency is bursted and
the Republican party is split into frag-
ments. We are happy to state to those
croakers, that their statements do not
prove true III either case. The Repub-
hcan party of Wisconsin Will abide by
and support the men nominated by a
large majority of their representatives,
and these representatives who are said
to have bursted the so-called ring, adopt
ed by four-ffths majority, the follow
ing resolutions
WHEREAS, A large part of the labor of
organizing and conducting the political
campaigns in this State, in behalf of the
Republican party, during the past two
years, has fallen upon the State Central
Committee, who have performed their
duties ably, and to the satisfaction of
the party throughout the State:
WHEREAS, The chief labor of said COM
mittee, during said three years, has de-
volved upon the Chairman, E. w. Reyes,
who has, during said period, discharged
said duties with ability and courage, with
acknowledged energy and skill, there
fore,
Resolred, That the thanks of this con-
vention are hereby rendered to said Com
mittee for the able discharge of their
responsible dutiea, and that Hon. E. w.
keyes be renominated as Chairman OF
the State Central Committee for the
coming two years.

Good Citizen. win obey the Law

1t is now known that after the most
thorough consideration the Supreme Court
of Wisconsin has decided that not only
the Graham tempranee law is consitu
tional, but that it is applicable TO all the
decision. as it will settle the doubts of all
good citizens. For it IS known that
many of the politicians 6f the Demo-
cratic school have held that Milwaukee
had reservations under its charter which
citizens, or in other words, they held
that Milwaukee was a species of state BY
itself and that it should not obey the law
this was the original basis of the rebellion
of the Southern States against the
National government. That rebellion
nation of four thousands millions of dol
lars, and at a sacrifice of three hundred
thousand lives.
The Supreme Court has now decided
the Question that Milwaukee is por-
too of the State of Wisconsin, and that
the people who reside here, whether
native or foreign, must obey the law
enacted by the Legislature 1t is prob
aUie tilat yen arise ITOul the WHISKY
shops and beer saloons, but nevertheless
all good citizens of all nationalities will
obey tie law.
We look with considerable interest for
the course of the Herold, the Seehote
and the Banner. as their conduct on this
question will show whether they have
any genuine conception of what is due in
a republic to the majesty of the law,
made by the representatives of the peo-
pie and repeatedly confirmed by them.
and at last sustained by the only judicial
tribunal which the constitution rscog-
nizes as an expounder of the law lF;a-
coas;ia.

highway OF direct communication with
our harbor on Lake Superior, and with
the North Pacific Railway, of momen-
tous interest and most urgent impor-
tance. Raving completed in good faith
and proper season the railroads from
Portage to Tomah, and from Tonlah to
the st. Croix River, by the expenditure
and judicious application of two thirds
of the land grant of 1856, and having
made an honest effort to construct a
road from st. Croix River to Lake Su-
perior, the last link in this chain of roads
contemplated by that grant, and having
already completed a portion OF the same
and having taken care of the lands and
prevented trespasses upon them and
continued to treat them as still the pro-
perty of the State, and the people of that
section having located and purchased
Government lands at double the usual
Government price in view of the grant
and the building of roads, and having
long and patiently waited for such con-
summation, it would be unjust, illiberal
and unfair to the State to now seek to
divest her here of the title to the re-
naming portion of this grant, even if
Congress has the legal right, which we
deny and If necessary, we insist that
Congress ought to pass a law at once
without hesitation renewing this portion
of the grant to the State, that the title
may be beyond any question and that
the road be speedily completed.
i1esolred, That our State is most ia
vorably situated in respect to water COM
mlnication by lake and river, and facih-
ties for commercial intercourse ought to
be prudently guarded and improved to
the fullest possible extent in order to
afford the speediest and cheapest means
of transportation of products in perma-
Lent competition with railroad carriage.
To this end we congratulate the State
upon the generous assumption by the
general government of the Fox and Wis
consin River improvement that promises
at an early day to connect the MISSISSIPPI
pi river and the great lakes and we
most fully endorse the now well estab-
hshed policy of the present adlninistra-
ton in keeping clear from the unneces-
sary obstruction of the Mississippi river,
and we especially commend that private
enterprise, assisted by Government aid,
which has resulted in the construction
of the Sturgeon Bay canal, that SO ma
terially lessons the distance and obviates
the dangers of our lake navigation.
Resoiued, That the Republican party
will use all reasonable endeavors to so
amend the laws of the State as to make
a permanent fixed salary for all State
officers, and that all fees end perquisites
be paid into the public treasury.
