RlLED.

The Chronicle is so riled by our com.
men;s on the action Of Dodgeville at
the late election, that it has occurred
the writing of an article on the sub
ject. We feel confident of being
uble to name the writer Of the Chron-
icle's article, bat refrain from doing
so, ard will treat it as though it were
in reality what it perports to bean
editorial. At the time Of publish.
ing the article scolding Dodgeville
for its course at the election, we had
no returns from Ridgeway and Arena :;
and We confess, had no expectation
that those towns had been guilty of
like conduct. But even with the
votes Of Ridgeway and Arena before
us, we still insist that mainly with
Dodgeville rests the responsibility of
Mr.. Coates overwhelming defeat.
Wh5 but the Chronicle is to blame for
several towns having no tickets ?
And who Will deny that tie large
vote given 10 Mr.. Wilson in those
towns was mainly owing to there
being no Republican tickets at the
polls -? True, 1t would have made
no difference in the result, if the
voters of the town Of Dodgeville had
been true to their ticket but had
certain parties in Dodgeville done
their duty Mr.. Coates would not lie
buried under SEA majority.
The Chronicle man seems to think
,fthat we expect to influence the Dem
ocratic party, or form league with
them to punish Dodgeville. In this
he errs as in most other things.
What the Democrats NAV do. or fail
TO do, we care not. In saying that
the sectional strife will only weaken
the Republican party in the county,
1t only states what has often been
demonstrated as at the late election
but heretofore this sectional strife
has bean one-sided. Only once in
our recollection have the Republi-
cans of Mineral Point manifested
sectional feeling at county cleo.
ton, while at Dodgeville the mani.
iestatlon has been frequent. We
expect to gain nothing by retaliation
and agree with the Chronicle writer,
that TO foster sectional strife must
weaken the Republican party, and
give theecounty to the Democrats
but we are tired of being yictimized,
and quietly submitting under pledge
that the thing will not occur again.
1t IS unreasonable to ask the people
OF Mineral Point, Linden and Mifliu
to again put confidence in those who
have betrayed US so often. After
seeing the county III the hands of
the Democrats few terms, perhaps
the Chronicle and its supporters Will
come to their senses. and reunion
of the Republicans may be effected
OF course this vii! keep all Republic
can noses from the crib, the TRIBUNE
among the rest, but that is so nearly
the case now there is little to lose.
In speaking of Dodgeville, we
wish to be understood as referring
only to those who consistently bolt
their ticket in favor of citizens of
their own town, and those who, while
aiming to fill leading positions, are
wholly incompetent to perform the
commonest duties pertaining thereto.
For those Republicans of Dodgeville
who are always true to their princi.
PIES we have the highest respect, and
honor them the more for being true
where so MANY are false.

and returned to the ranch, where he has
since remained, while his respected pro-
genitor was enjoying the hopitali:ies of
Sheriff Emery at the county hotel. The
property described in the search war
rants consisted Of lot Of doors, VIM
COW blinds and sashes, carpenter, black
smith. mining tools, etc, Il portion Of
which had been seen by Sheriff Emery
when he was out at the place few days
ago. but upon the arrival of Constable
Credit nothing of the kind was visible
about the premises. He found, however,
short distance from the house place
where fire had recently been built, and
among the Goals and ashes discovered
door knobs. iron blind fastenings and
lot Of broken window glass. Searching
a little further the officer found signs of
fresh digging, where he unearthed lot
Of blacksmith tools which had recently
been buried there and over the cache a
lot of sage-brush and srease-wood plant
ed. Since Mr.. Emery's visit the boy
had evidently endeavored to destroy the

ing and concealing the stole" property.

at Judge Logan's Office. and although
doubtless all of them were stolen, a por-

The National Republican, of Washing

Postmaster General is represented as

the international postal service, III speak
ing of the negotiations b. tween France

that the administration Of the republic
courteously accepts the transportation Of
the mails Of the United States to Ger
many and other parts of Europe, and of
stigm:.tizing the people o. France (by
implication) us barb;.rians. The postal
administration of France" says the
Messenger. ''is not without fault but it
has one merit, to wit &: that those who
direct it are not likely to d. base them
selves by speaking i'll unpleasant terms
of America or of American officials.

produce the body of tive-year old boy,
whom he held in pledge for money due
