charge Of forgery. 1t is said that

farmers by these men. Their plan
was to get some farmer who could not
read to sign what purported to be a
contract for the agency of patent
pillow between the farmer and r. r.
Fenner 4 Co., but which was really a

him the cold shoulder Saturday, and
the attempt to engineer a laudatory
resolution through the Dane County,
board also was vain. ''In his own
county, in board containing Re
form majority, with Democratic Re
form chairman, the resolution was
postponed, q to is. The remarks of
the members were very plain and

TIE WATERFOWL Republican has
hoisted the name Of Hon Lucien 3.
Casweu of Fort Atkinson, as candi-
date for Congress to succeed HazIeton.
The Jefferson County Union endorses
the nomination. This bringing out OF
Mr.. Caswell, the Union says, is not to
be construed into dissatisfaction with
Mr. Hazleton, but is in accordance
with an understanding with the latter
at the time of his last nomination that
he would not be a candi date for a third
term. Jefferson County has long
claimed the candidate, and now thinks
that its claim should be recognized.

DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS are beside
themselves with grief over the dis
charged of government clerks at Wash
ington. Their tears are made to order.
and the order seems to have been for
an unlimited supply. And after all,
1t is only in the hope of exciting re,
proach against the republican party.

cry. They think to make political
capital BY enlarging on tie grief of
those discharged. The device is silly
