Carpenter and Kellogg.

Senator Carpenter has written G
letter to the. Chicago Tribune con.
corning bis relations with Gov. KEEL
logg and louisiana affairs. He en-
phstically' denies that he ever de-
manded $4,000 for his services in the
Kellogg case, as was charged in q
Washington dispatch ID the Tribune,
nor did be receive 81, 500 as was also
charged. BE says that be was en-
ployed by Caleb Gushing, to assist
himstlf in the kellogg case, and that
they both agreed that he should
charge for his services c3 900, and a
DILL for that amount and no more
was sent TO K, llogg, and by him
paid in instaIlments
He says that he never defended
Judge Durreli, as charged, but simp-
IL discussed the power of employing
troops IS o posse comitatas and the
power of the Federal courts, as the
Congressional Record will show. He
further says that the case which he
was employed to argue had no con-
nection with the Louisiana question,
and that the former was decided be-
before any proceedings were either
taken or expected in the latter by
Congress.
The Senator concludes by declar-
ing that no one who will examine his
record on Louisiana matters, will be-
lieve that be was bribed by Kell gg,
and he gives full permission to all
having any of his l,tters to Kellogg
to publish them.-Mlwaukee WiSeon-

Farmer" Thompson.

This from the Monroe Sentinel,
which is published near the home OF
Chas. F. Thompson, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict:
"The Democratic papers of neigh
boring counties are claiming that g.
F. Thompson is farmer. The facts
are Mr. Thompson was a fsrmer
twenty years ago. But he has been
an active politicion of the school die
trict sort, for the past twenty years,
and for several years has been aspec-
ulator, and engaged part of the time
in mercantile business. We do not
mention these facts to disparage Mr..
Thompson, but we think that their
misrepresentation is designed to fiat.
ter farmers into voting for Mr..
Thompson because he as farmer, az
they voted for Governor Taylor be-
cause he was said to be farmer /;
when the facts are that neither are
so much farmer as they are oftice.hun-
ters and are more spectators, and
money changers than either. They
may have been farmers, but they are
now third-rate politicians who spend
most of their time in place hunting.
This certainly has been the case with
Mr.. Thompson whose record in Green
County is too fresh to need more
comment than q brief alusion. Toe
farmers of Green County smile when
Charley Thompson IS designated a
farmer by our ignorant exchanges.
Mr.. Thompson was an active Repub-
lIcan up to the Greeley campaign.
He was delegate to the convention
which elected delegates to the Ma
tional Republican Convention. h
was disappointed that he was not
sent as delegate to The National
Convention. He made ready tojump
the party, and did so. He has been
rewarded with a nomination. But
such honors are empty He wi
lack several thousand votes of being
elected, provided he Republican
party does its dnty by much worth,
Ter candidate, II. s. Magoon. That
Republicans will do that, We have
the most fattering assurances.

THE OLD SETTLERS.
The Sixth Annual Reunion.
Early "reminiscences by Sam'l Druen.
Eulogies by General J. b. Calls.
The Roll of Members.

Thursday, October l. 1874, the Old
Settlers of Grant county to the mum
Der Of two hundred or over, assembled
at the court house and held their sixth
annual meeting. There were present
people who had roamed the wilds of
this county as far back as the year
1926, and from that up TO lS4s. The
gathering was pleasing to behold;
there was the feeble and tottering old
man, his head covered with the snowy
locks of over eighty winters, and the
aged matron whose feebled voice told
of her near approach TO the grave;
the young men and women of the as
ISOLATION contrasted strangely with
those aged settlers, but they evidently
were of them even TO the third gen.
GRAFTON. At II o'clock, sharp, the pro-
cession was formed and marched TO
the Masonic hall, where they were re-
called with bountiful repast that had
been spread by the Lancaster men,
bers of the society. Each and every
one found a place and were literally
helped to the staff of life. There
were ITO persons fed at that table,
while other members were taken to
the homes of our citizens. After all
had been fed, the Old Settlers reas
sembled at the court house and were
called to order by the President of the
association. The usual business OF
the society was then transacted, as we
find by the following taken from the
minutes of the Secretary:
The Old Settlers of Grant county
met at the court house in this village
Thursday last, and an opportunity
was given all old settlers not members
to sign the by laws. The following
are the rev names:

by the State of Louisiana in certain
case before the U. S. Supreme Court.
He afterwards wrote to Gov. Kellogg
for his pay. In the recent Louisiana
row all X ellogg's letters were captured
and Carpenters among the others,
and now the opposition press claims
that Carpenter was bribed to give his
Senatorial support to one ofthe Louis
lana factions and this was what he ask
ed pay for. The low down dirty
meanness of an average Reform news
paper is past finding out

ceeding year necessarily decreases the
number of the members, and at no
very distant period the society as an
institution must cease to exist Whi'e
we are from time to time called to
mourn their departure "over the river"

DEATH OF JUDGE MILLER. Hon.
Andrew C. Miller ex-Judge of the
u. s. District Court, died at his resi-
Deuce 10 Milwaukee on Wednesday
of last week, in the 74th year of his
age. His death was terribly sudden,
no traces OF the fatal disease having
been apparent up to within an hour
of his decease. Judge Miller was a
Pennsy lvAnian by birth, and previous
10 his removal TO Wisconsin he &C.
cupied prominent position at the
bar of Cumberland county. He
came to the Territory of Wisconsin
in 1888 in the official capacity of As
sociate Judge of the Territory, which
position he occupied up to the time
Wisconsin became State, when he
was appointed District Judge. He
held that Office until his resignation
last January. Personally, Judge
Miller was highly estimated by all
who enjoyed an intimate acquaint-
snce with him, and his death will be
widely regretted.
s@-Gerrit Smith, who has done
more for temperance than any other
man IN the State, says that vote
for Prohibition candidate will "fa.
vor the return OF the Democratic
party to power-an event which
every man breads inexpressibly who
has spent his life IN fighting the dew

The Way of Reformers.

Judge Mallory, il his opening ad-
dress to the Congressional Conven
ton at Milwaukee, took occasion to
refer to the manner 10 which Reform
caucuses had been set up. he had
been q candidate himself, and claim
ed that only money beat him. Sam
Rindskopf, a Reformer only the
years cid, had turned Democratic
weapons against the CID Bourbon
leaders, and secured his own nomina-
ton by the exercise of the arts which
were their special property. This
was too much. 1t was learning Dem
ocratic tactics too early in the game.
The Judge said in his speech
| allowed my name to be used in
good faith; lhink most of the others
did Select one who will do US hon.
or. If you can't find one inside OF
the convention, go outside. There
are plenty OF good men. l protest
against the principle that A MAN
CAN'T GO TO CONGRESS UN-
LESS HE SPENDS 500. 900 BLOOD
MONEY IN PRIMARY MEET
INGS. IF WE CAN'T ACCOM-
PLISH THAT, WE MIGHT AS
WELL THROW ASIDE THE RE
FORM PARTY AND CALL 1T A
LIE, A FRAUD AND A HUMBUG.
l have confidence in this conven-
ton, and in the people. | ask moth

given me an office the worst one In
it-and l have discharged the duties
in a manner of which [ am not
ashamed. I implore you to select a
man sOh0 iotU do honor to the people
who will unite and not divide the
party.
1t is enough to say that the tears
of the Judge came to late, and the
$4,000 candidate came out ahead
