Our BEST MEN For OFFICE.-To
destroy the Republican party be-
cause q few dishonest men have
crept into office through its power.
would be as wise as the killing Of a
healthy individual because a few
boils trouble him. The party never
was more healthy than at present.
The few officials that are proven dis
honest are, to the great body polit-
ic, what the spots on the sun are to
the blazing orb that gives us light
and warmth. As long as the masses
Of the people who compose the par
ty are honestly inclined, we have no
fear OF the party itself. Every Re
publican convention which has met
thus far has placed itself on record
as being determined to drive men
from office who fail to practice econ
omy and honesty in their public
duties. We shall never free our
selves entirely from the influence Of
bad men. They will creep into pow
err in spite of the greatest care and
watchfulness. We can, however,
throw an increased protection
around the public service by a more
thorough examination of the char
acter OF the men who present them
selves for our support. \ good cit
lien will generally make a good Of
fetal. This is q simple rule which,
il practiced in the selection OF can
didatcs, will greatly protect the pub
lie interests. Inquire into the pri-
vate character of a man VINO wants
your vote, and if you find him hon
est, industrious, charitable, a good
neighbor, and public-spil'ited citi-
zen, you can safely give him your
vote and support. Iou may run
the risk, even then, of being cheat
ed; but the chances will be so small
that you can well afford the risk
But TO expect to secure an honest
official in the man who never pays
his debts, who takes advantage of
his neighbor, whose character is
stained by intemperance or profani-
ty, is to expect a clear balance-sheet
III the other world without paying
your printers bill in this. NoIni-
nate your best men for office. and
the risk OF finding dishonesty in
high places will be exceedingly
small.

THE DIFFER 3NCE.

Both parties seeking favor with
the people Of Wisconsin, are pledged
to reform IN the civil service, econo-
my and honesty IN the State admin
istration, to a preservation of the
pubic credit, to the Improvement
OF the Fox and Wisconsin rivers. to
the cause Of the people against the
railroads, and to many other things
Of public interest. Both parties
condemn the acceptance Of railroad
passes 10y public officers, the Credit
Mobiler corruption, the salary
grab and all other corruptions. In
fact, SO similar is the position of the
two parties on leading points, that
1t is difficult for some to see why
they cannot unite. That one of
these parties should violently claim
to be b'e reform party is to many
still more difficult to understand.
For TIE enlightenment of the mys-
tilted we will mention a few reform
measures that may be expected
should the Democrats get control OF
affairs, that are not pro uised by
Republicans.
fust-The Democrats are pledged
TO the REFORM measure Of repeating
the Graham Law and all other laws
for the restraint and punishment OF
drunkenness and immortality.
Second = They will re. form the
State Capitol into den Of thieves,
such as it was in the good old days
OF "Barstow and his forty"
Third-They will re- fern, the School
Land office into what it was when
our "once magnificent school fund
was dWindled to a pittance by being
loaned out to irresponsible Demo-
cratic politicians, who never re-
paid it.
Because these three reformations,
and others of similar character may
be expected in the event Of Demo
cratic success next Tuesday, it is
fitting that it be denominated q re-
firm party. Reader, do you wish
for such reforms as they promise

Democratic Evidence.

The Lacrosse Democrat, which is
not now controlled by Brick Poml-
roy, but which Is still Democratic
organ, has more honesty than is
usually found in papers Of that
party. Ia a recent issue of that
paper is the following tribute to the
Republican candidate for Governor:
cit is true we have said many compliments
ry things of Governor Wash5urn, and we are
il earnest about them. We believe him to be
an honest, able executive, Il man who cannot
be biibed or influenced against what he thinks
right, by all the money that is owned by all
the railroads in tie world. And whenever
We get 4 chance to lay good word OF the old
hero we shall say it, though the Hcavt rs fah /;
bat the brass collar or4Ans ed have 10 ap-
prchcnsions that i'll doing 50 we are going to
swallow the whole radical party. Not to any
alarming extent. We have great admiration
for Wa,hburn, personally. His character is
above rcproach lie would make good
President OF the United States, and ii he j.
nominated against Grant, WE WILL SUPPORT
HIM

REPUBLICANS of Wisconsin, If
you depend upon the apathy Of your
political enemies for light vote
this fall, You will wake up the next
| morning after the election to the
fact that you have been most egreg-
| lousy fooled. 1t is true that they
have not made much noise or
stumped the State with their orators,
but rest assured that they have
made q very thorough and SYSTEM
attic canvass III the most remote Ci =
t1cts, al their votes will fall upon
US on the 18th OF November as thick
as the leaves in autumn. They have
been as busy as bees every day ard
night since their Nhat-is-it ticket
was PCT into the field, and they viii
poll tremendous vote in its favor.
Ii you want that ticket elected go
and vote for it like man, but don't
stay at home and wish Mr.. Wash
burn and his colleagues well. If
the boon Of suffrage, of which every
free man ought to be proud, is of
any value to you, go and use it for
the success of your principles, if
You have any. The man in the ia
be who prayed to Hercules to lift
his wagon out Of the mire
twas rebulzed by the god and
made to put his own shoulder
to the wheel; so if you wish
II see our State ticket and
the Republican Assemblymen and
Senators elected, you must go to the
polls yoAse!f and vote. Especially,
ii it is a wet and gloomy day, the Re
publican ticket viii be all the more
III danger. The Democratic votes
are in the cities and villages, at the
crossroads and near the voting
places, and where wickedncss most
abounds, while our strength is III
the rural districts where men fear
God and keep his commandments.
They have the strongest, richest,
most unscrupulous, and most united
political organization in the State
(the Whiskey INTEREST," against US,
and It's influence penGtrates and
permeates every section of the State,
and is blatant and outspoken where
boldness is needed, or it works as
siiently as the subtle influences of
nature il that is the best policy.
IC meet and overcome such a foe
requires all our wisdom, patience
and vigilence. Let Us be admonish-
ed Of the danger that threatens Us,
and not be caught sleeping at our
posts on the day Of battle.-Er.

THE Democratic organs, which
have been claiming a Democratic
victory in Iowa, because, as was at
first supposed, the ''The Anti-Mo-
nopolists' had carried the Legisla-
ture, have been premature in their
shouts. Even if the Republicans
had lost the Legislature, the claim
of the Democrats that the victory
was heirs, would have been simply
ridiculous; but it appears from
latest returns that the Republicans
will have two majority in the lower
house and twenty-five in the Senate,
giving them a joint majority of
twenty-four. Let the Democrats
haul III their horns. and let those
who are not Democrats, in Iowa or
elsewhere, hereafter beware how
they vote against regular Republic
can nominations at general elections,
unless they are ready to be called
"Damocrats."

FAis1a.EgS, ATTENTION.

Next Tuesday YOU are called upon
TO say whether you wish you inter-
ests to be placed in the hands Of
John Strachan or William Robinson.
The former Is not a farmer, and
has no interest III farmers except
to make money out Of them. Tne
latter is q farmer by occupation, and
is personally interested in every
thing in which You are interested.
Whatever Legislative measure IS dc
manded for your benefit IS equally
demanded for his. Is it not natural
that a farmer should feel q deeper
and livlier interest in what concerns
his ayocation, than a man who
knows nothing about farming or
farmers needs, and cares nothing
about them except to sell YOU ma
chinery at profitable figures!

THERE IS every prospect of a
hard winter for the thousands of
people who are dependent on their
daily earnings for a livelihood, and
it Is time for the exercise of econ
omy and charity. 1t is represented
that from $4,000 to 10000 opera
tives have been thrown out of en-
ployment in Connecticut alone, and
all over the country there are thou
sands of worllmen who are being
quietly discharged from work. The
situation is by no means cheering,
and looks as if it might be much
worse before it shall be better. A
great many manufacturers have
adopted the plan of reducing wages
of all their hands instead of dis
charging a part of them, and such
course deserves commentator. At
best, however, there will be pinch
ing times this winter, and people
should prepare to meet them bravely.

The Milwaukee Mas, in its work
Of revenge against Governor Wash
burn, who had the courage to veto
a $4,000 steal that had been en-
gineered through the Legislature by
and for one of the Netgs' editors,
stops at no falsehood or misrepre-
sentation to furt Ter its cause.
Among other things it has charged
Washburn with being a salary grab
Der, Credit Mobilier apologizer, q
friend Of railroads, and an enemy OF
railroads; all of which failing to
stop the peoples huzzas for the Gov
ernor who has givcn more general
satisfaction, and displayed greater
executive ability and more sterling
integrity than any Of his predec >
sors, the Netrs is now attempt Il :
by sophistical argument and false
flying figures, to deceive the peop,e
into believing that Bill BarstOw's
Democratic administration was more
honest and economical than Wash
burns. The NeU tells its readers
that the annual expense of running
the State under BarstOW'S admins
tration was only 1868, 0O0; while
during Washburn's first year there
was expended 81 ,27S, 600 But the
Ne,os does not tell its readers that
in Barstow's time there was not
more than half the wealth and pop
nlation III the State that there now
is, and that Of course the expenses
of state government has lc%itimately
doubled: itedocs not tell that ii the
expenditure accredited to Washburn
for 1872 there are the following
items not included in BalStoW'S ac-
count, to-wit: Si60,O00 to pay in
tcrcst on the State debt created to
put down the Democratic rebellion !:
S132, 900 for building new hospital
for the insane SS7 200 for improy-
ing the old iuoane hospital, $685.
40 for the soldiers orphans home
and the reform school; $5S,321 for
the normal schools; which four
items aggregate nearly 100000,
besides about 100000 appropriated
for furnishing the Capitol and build
ing the Park fence, all Of which
should be deducted from the amount
charged against Washburn's admin
istration before comparing it with
Barstow's, as none Of the institu-
tons for which this 100000 was
expended were in existence when
Barstow rcigned With the 500
600 of extra expenses deducted
from the amount char Ged to Wash
burn, 1t appears, even accol 'ulS 10
the figures of the Mus, that the ex-
ponse proper of the Administration
was only 57S,000-or but $4,000
greater than Barstow's when our
State contained less than one-half
the wealth and population it does
now, The opposition leaders know
full well that the State was never 50
wen governed as now, but they do
not wish the people to understand
it 50, and hence they stop at 10 de
ception or falsehood if thereby they
can catch votes.

a DEMOCRATIC circular gives as
an important reason why Governor
Washbuun should not be reelected,
that 'hc has grown rich on specu-
lation without labor, and can have
no actual sympathy with men who
earn their daily bread by honest
toll" This, of course, Is to play
upon the prejudice of the ignorant,
who regard all men with envy who
prosper more than themselves. Such
clap-trap, domagogical appeals viii
fail to deceive intelligent men. If,
however, there should be a reader
of the TRIBUNE who regards the
argument Of being wealthy, good
against Washbmn, we hope he viii
be consistent enough to apply it to
the candidates for Assembly, and
vote for Robinson, who is a poor
man and farmer; and not for
John Strachan, who is rich and q
spaculator.

EVERY Republican who neglects
his duty at the polls violates one of
the highest duties Of good citizen
Ship. such delinquency amounts to
deserti0n in the face OF the enemy,
and q surrender of interests that are
OF vital consequence to himself and
to the State. Nor is an election in
which only State and local interests
are at stake of less consequence
than an election in which national
issues are involved. The success of
Democracy in Wisconsin involves
interests Of the most signal import
ance to every citizen of the State.
It involves the surrender to the
Democratic party that which re-
mains OF ''our once magnificent
school fund.-" great portion of
which was squandered by Democra-
cy while it had it in its possession.
Are Republicans Of Wisconsin pre-
pared to take the hazard OF a loss
to the State of all that now remains
OF our school fund by permitting
ilt DcilOcEaJIc party TO AGAIN OBJ
tim control Of it! The success of
Democracy in this State involves
the surrender to the Democratic
party OF the keyes to the Treasury
from which thousands were stolen,
and from which thousands would
again be stolen by that party, were
it again to be put in possession of
it. Ii short, the success of Democ-
racy involves the revival of such
another era Of corruption and de-
moralization as characterized all our
State affairs when the Democratic
party was formerly III power. The
same class of men who controlled
the Democratic party then control
it to-day. Can any Republican
can any good citizen be so unmind-
ful OF his public obligation as to be-
come responsible for the restora-
ton Of that party to power in this
State, by neglecting his duty either
now Or on the day of election ,

An ERROR CoRRECTED.-We find
that in some parts of the county
Mr. Pecl1's friends are asking votes
for him as a onc-almed soldier. OF
course this is without Brother P.'s
knowledge or consent, and may be
mnocently done by his friends, but
it is none the less necessary that the
erroneous story should be corrected.
NJ. Peek was never q soldier; On
the contrary, during the rebellion
he was among those who, by oppos-
ing all measures for prosecution Of
the war, retarded the cause of the
Union. His empty sleeve is not the
result OF patriotism, and it is but
just to all parties that a false inn
preston regarding it should be
cradicatcd.

The Great Snow Storm.

The heavy snow storm of last week i'm
peded travel in most of the States. The
ST. Louis Globe, of the 9th, says:
The severest SNOW storm and the
heaviest fall of snow since the winter OF
1864, began in this city night before last,
and continued up to eleven o'clock last
night.
All day yesterday the streets and side
walks were blocked up with the white
element, and street-cars and carriages
found it difficult work to pillow through it.
1t is estimated that the snow was ten
inches deep on an average throughout the
city last evening. In some places it is
much deeper, as the wind drifted it in
heaps, rendering locomotion on foot quite
difficult.
The railroads leading out of st. Louis
were much impeded by the snow. The
only through line to Chicago last evening
was the Illinois Central, and by telegraph
we have the information that the trains
were blocked at Clayton on the Toledo and
Wabash from Quincy. At Jacksonville
the cars were delayed several hours, and
on some of the roads in Missouri, we heal
of the tracks being covered to an impassa
BILE degree.
