SPIRIT OF FH II PRESS.
The Gaena Gazette: The people in
this part Of Illinois feel lively interest
in the election of congressman IN our
neighboring district of Wisconsin.
Hon. IL. s. Magoon, the Republican
nominee, is a native Of Lafayette
county, a thoroughly honest man, a
gentleman of fine ability, and would
make bright record in congress. lie
is sure of the election if his friends do
their duty. We believe they will do
so, and secure for him a handsome ma
jority.
The Milwaukee Sentinel: Among
the blessings bestowed by the Reform
ers the Madison Democrat mentions
that "the printing expenses OF the
state have been largely reduced" In
which connection we take the follow
inc headlines from an article in the
Delavan Republican; Back Pay !!
$82 900 on a $40 600 Printing Con
tract. Aud the Reformers pay &c.,
600 More Making $4,000 on a
$50 600 Contract Is this the Reform
the People of Wisconsin were Invited
top
The Fond du Lac Commonwealth:
The principal complaint Of the Ne'0S
against Charley Williams is that he
is a lawyer, and as such thoroughly
untitled to represent aud protect the
interests of the people, Suppose we
grant that a lawyer isn't fit to 60 to
Congressional has the Nea0S to say
for Messrs. Cook, Bouck and Cate?
Let these three lawyer candidates on
the Democratic congressional ticket
offset Messrs Williams, Caswell and
Magoon-which is really conceding
too much, for Caswell has done very
little law business for the past eight
years, and most Of that gratuitously.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin: The
Democratic gains in Indiana and Ohio
will give the Ku-Kux fresh cause for
rejoicing. Let US show that Wiscon
sin is true to herself and the principles
which abolished slavery, preserved
the Union, and will protect the rights
of every citizen, be he white or black.
In view of the Southern outrages
which have occurred lately, and the
determined stand of the adminlstra-
ton, let us see to it that Wisconsin
does not lend a hand to perpetuate law
lessness, but rather to send in a ma
iority to strengthen the cause of ma
tional order and union, Work is our
first duty.
The State Journal. The reports from
this district are very encouraging; and
the election of Hon. Henry S. Mayoon
is not deemed doubtful. The Repub
licans are determined to elect him, and
will do it, They know him to be a
man of ability and culture; an honest
and faithful man in all places; one who
will represent them in congress ably
and efficiently; who will rank among
the first statesmen in that body. lie
is a true Western man, was born In
! Wisconsin, knows her wants, and will
represent the wishes of her people
with fidelity. He will have the honor
of being the first native of the state
to hold a seat In the national legisla-
ture.
The Inter Ocean: The contest for
the United States senatorship in Wis
consin next winter is to be led in the
"Reform" or "Anti Monopoly" or
Democratic party by that eminent
Anti Monopolist, the Hon. Alexander
Mitchell, of Milwaukee To this end
that other wel-known Reformer, ex-
Governor Horatio Seymour, Of New
York, is moving round slyly among
the ''fathful' in Wisconsin giving
them wink in behalf of Mitchell =
Horatio made very long visit up in
Wisconsin during the rebellion, and it
was probably during that sojourn that
he laid the foundation tor that broad
confidence in his patriotism which is
now invoked in favor of his friend!
The Oshkosh Northeastern: Char
ley Thompson, the Reform indicate
for Congress in the Third District Of
the State, is in hot water. Three
years ago he was Republican, but
two years ago went over to the Gree
ly Democratic party One year ago
he was a radical temperance man, and
an advocate of the woman's crusade.
Only last spring he worked for the
election of a no license ticket in his
own town of Broadhead. We have
no fault to find with him in this di-
rection, as he was undoubtedly sin
cere in his course of action. But now,
he is 'Retorm" candidate for Con
gress and wants German vote He
is attempting to get them by going
back on his record, and guiding beer
with the crowd, beside playing the
craven with principles, in order to
show that he is just as sincere in want
ing votes as he was in his former en-
deavors TO prohibit the use of the fluid
OF course, he is losing the respect of
both parties, since people generally
admire consistency in professional
Reformers.
