This vote, we think, evidences the
truth and shows that the claim that the
Judge is ''popu!er" is untrue. 1t
proves conclusively that the Judge is
not popular" and as it IS admitted
that he has neither experience or dis
tinguished ability, we ask the voters
of Juneau County to support Hon A
$. McDilt, and leave Judge Gate upon
the sea- he hangs to and refuses to re-
sign, the judicial bench. -Aaas.on

was realty when the final vote was

a7ONE OF the most humiiating sights

to look gRH Is toswitness. a candidate

t(with all the tenacity Of a drowning

enough, it would seem :; but when such
judicial oficer. takes .the stump. and
drags the judicial ermine through the
flth Of politics, berating men aud pai-
ties, allowing the passive, celebrating
mind, which is supposed to impartially
guide the hand that holds the scales of
Justice, to becomeaarousedand angered,
maddened by the jealousies and animos-
tiles engendered by debate, then, in
deed, disgust usurps respect. and an
Intelligent people look with feelings of
shame, not unmixed with pity, upon
the man who would degrade the honor

the low level of a stumping politician.

WE ARE ashamed to chronicle the
fact that Supt, Powers is prostituting
his position as Superintendent OF
Schools of Wood County, to the adj
Vancement of political ends. Mr. 2.
is an ardent admirer Of Mr.. P. O. Cas-
8idy, and is striving by every means
within his power to elevate him to a
position from which he was removed
for inoompetency and malfeasance in
Office. We co not question the right
that Mr.. Powers possesses as a citizen
to advocate the election of any man !;
but when he attempts to use, as an in
strument for the Advancement of his
ends, the honorable position Of, Super

we, with our whole people, Go NEST
seriously object. It is pi&in to See how
his position may be made migkty.en-
CINE to move individuals to act in uni
son with his political views. .Aa un-
scrupulous man, such as is Mr.. G. l..
Powers, will not fail to stoop to the
meancst things to accomplish his ends.
Such man viii even attempt to make

VIZ ouobt 10 know to day or to'mor'
row whether the President will sign the
currency bill. He wisely svaiIs himself
NJ The time allowed him under the Con-
sutu,lon to give the bill due consIdera-
ton. We presume, however, his mind
Is made up by this time. Washington
adyIces state that at the Cabinet meeting
last week the finance question elected
long and earnest discussion, during which
the sentiment existing in different sec
tions Of the country, relative TO tine Sen.
ate finance bill, DOW before the President,
was dwelt upon al length. The Cabinet
officers lAvoring imitation made the point
thst the great mass Of the people in near.
ly every section Of the Union favored in
a4tion; only the moneyCd centres protest.
cd sgalnst II, and The msjOriiy in Con-
gress, isvoring ita4tion, simply interpret
the wishes Of their constituents. ThosC
oil the Cabinet who opposed the Senate
bill, and all measures tending To initiate
the currency, made equally good points
on their side The President listened 10
the discussion without expressing any
opinion on the subject, or even indicating
what his action would be relative TO the
Senate bill.

inpIoripg them to desist, are all legitimate

with charity, and with due regard Ia

ion.
Before leaving This subject take The
liberty Of commencing 10 my Protestant
friends the course pursued by Ri Rev
Bishop WhelAh. He has struck q blow
IN the right direction, and II he will only
follow Il up, no matter who may say
may" thousands will rise up to bless bis
memory when he has gone home 10 resi-
with hiS fathers. No matter low widely
we may have differed with him as 10 d O
ma and uSd0e, there are few among III
perhaps who have ever doubted the earn
estness Of his Christianity, and the SINGER
ity and honesty Of the great body Of hi
people.
Here then, in this temperance cause, we
find law oil promise. The wAilingS
which constantly ascend 10 Heaven, from
the great heart Of humanity, appeal alike
10 the sympathies Of all parties, social
political, and religious, and furnish q com
mon platform upon which we can all Ia
Dor, in our respective spheres, Tor the sup
preston OF great vice, and the elevation
and ennobling Of the human race. Here
