Candidates.

Our friends at Madison are using
their surplus moments in manufacturing
candidates to be voted up or down at
future elections. A correspondent of
the La Crosse Leader recently set It
down as already settled question that
Gov. Washburne would be re-nomina-
ted in the next state Republican Con-
vention, by reclamation.
Well, why not go on with these nom-
nations, and complete the list, thus
saving all further trouble about this
matter? Why not take the work of the
people out of their hands, thus reliev-
ing them of all further care and respon-
sibility? Another advantage would be
gained in the line Of economy, saving
the expenses incidental to calling a con.
vention. There is nothing like econo-
my-economy OF labor, both of body
and mind, and economy ia cash expen.

And, while "our side" is specializing
upon probabilities, the opposition is
specializing upon possibilities, indulg-
ing forlorn hope that something may
yet turn up" by which some advantage
may be gained.
That slate will be made up for the
next State officers before the Legislature
rises, there is little doubt, and that, too,
with fair prospect gifts future success
But this fact is not very gratifying to
the sovereign" whose only duty is TO
"ratify." Verify, this is compiled.

yet at the same time, he is made a part

But keep the ball in motion; let can.

they choose. Philosophy teaches us

THE following resolution was intro
duced by Hon j Ii. Persons, in the
Assembly, one day last week, and pass
ed by a unanimous vote:
WHEREAS. The West Wisconsin Railroad
Company did, OF the 2Sth day of August,
1868, execute to Leonard, Steele & Good
son, mortgage upon the railroad of said
company, and did include in said mort
gage the land grant land conferred upon
said railway company by the state Of is
consin said mortgage being for the sum of
100000 pousds sterling (about "a, 900, 900, !
and .ait mortgage being of record in the
ottce Of the secretary of state, at Madison,
ard unpaid, and,
WHEREAS, 10 is alleged that since the ex-
ecution OF said mortgage, and since the
same was recorded IN he office Of the Sec
rotary Of State, the said West Wise onsin
Railway Company has sold portions of said
martgaged land grant lands to actual set.
tiers. representing TO said purchasers that
said railway company could give good and
unincumbcred title to said lands; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is further alleged that said
Vest Wisconsin Railroad Company still
offers and seeks to sell more Of eaid mort
gagged land grant lands, to such persons as
can be induced to believe that the said rail-
way company can give good and unincum-
bered title to said mortgaged lands, there
fore,
Resolved, That the committee onJudiciary
is hereby directed TO examine into such al
legged facts, and report to the Assembly
without delay.
This resolution at once institutes an
earnest inquiry, and if the facts alleged
in the same are sustained by the report
of the committee, it will greatly en-.
barrass the future operations of the
company, as we'll as dishearten many
honest, hard working pioneers who
have settled upon and improved railroad
lands.

Senator Irish.

Since his election he has been the
subject of criticism, like any other man
who holds a similar position. Oh
course he has been highly exalted on
one hand, and severely condemned on
the other. But, what is a little singu.
lar in his case, is the fact that, soon af-
ter his nomination, he either changed
front, or those who put him in nomlna.
ton and elected him, suddenly changed
both front and base He was soon
found working with his former adj
versaries, receiving plaudits at their
hands, and he is now being extolled by
the rankest democrats of the state, and
they even point to him as probable
candidate for higher honors. This fact
will Of necessity operate adversely to
any prospects he might otherwise have.
Besides this, the more important fact
that the Senator is, or seems to be es-
tranged from the main oody of his con.
stituents, would preclude the idea of his
immediate promotion.
Mr.. Irish, like other politicians, is
adjudged by the company he keeps.
As man, or as minister of the
gospel. we know but little of the Sena-
tor; and, knowing little, We have even
less TO say. We have raised no clamor
against him, nor shall we join in any
that has been, or may hereafter be rails
ed. We will not make a god of him,
nor yet martyr. While in our opin.
ion, he has made a great mistake, we
shall cheerfully consent to his retire
ment to private life, trusting that he
will yet regain whatever of honor he
may have lost by his unfortunate con-
nection with political strife.

The JudgeShip.

AS the canvass advances candidates
multiply. If every voter ia the county
should become candidate, and each
vote for himself, it would be strange
condition of affairs. The fact that no
less than five candidates are now duly
announced, leads us to suggest that this
state of things might possibly exist.
Some weeks ago we announced our
intention to support Mr.. Pierce. AT
that time he had but one competitor in
the field, and he bore red roses instead
of white ones. Nov there are others
whose locks are silared DER with age
though their bouquets will scarcely
vie in beauty with the white roses
which now take the place of those
which once were red
But We see no good reason for max
ing new selection, and shall stick to
our first choice. Mr. Pierce is good
officer. and with his official conduct no
fault seems to be found. He is also a
good and worthy citizen. He is now
familiar with the duties Of his Office,
and we'll qualified to discharge those
duties 1t is directly in the line of his
business, aud he is well located, being
at the County Seat, where he can be
consulted any day in the week.
Considering these facts, We shall cheer.
fully support Mr.. Pierce, and we con-
fdentiy predict his election. In doing
this we by no means reflect upon any of
his competitors, nor does the fact of
their aspiring to the position in any
way detract from their character as
honorable gentlemen.

Want of Vitality.

If deficiency of vital energy is not disease in itself it is condition which lays the system open to the attacks of all conceivable maladies Night terious influences No atmosphere is entirely pure, no water utterly free from injurious par ticles; while in many localities both positively unwholesome. What defence has the weak languid system, in which the vital principle is deficient dormant, against any of the morbid influences which produce epidemic and other diseases None whatever There is no safety in artifitial re-. inforcement. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have, beyond all question, vitalizing effect. If the nervous forces of the body have been recklessly expended in exhausting physical or mental labor, or dissfpated in the indu1gences of fastn life, this powerful vegetable tonic and corrective will restore them. If the defective vitality consti- tutonal evil it be remedied to great extent by this wonderful invigorant. At season ot the year when the air is more or less impregnated with the seeds of periodic fevers it is especially desirable that the digestion should be perfect, the habit of body regular, the liver active, the blood pure and the nerves firm. These conditions are the best protection against all disorders and they are con- ditions which the Bitters better adapted than any other medicinal agent to promote and secure See to it, however, that imitation or counterfeit is substituted for the genuine article and let all who value health and have m antipathy to poi son beware Of the local bitters made from cond demn cd sprung up like unwholesome fungi over the couu- try.
