The Milwaukee E0ening Wisconsin

With a ticket composed Of men of
unquestioned integrity and thorough
qualifications for the several positions

mittee. Col ]. G. Knight, present
superintendent of public property,
and Senator Cotzhausen are promin>
emily mentioned to succeed Mr.. Paul.
Rumors are also prevalent Of row

The Duty Of Republicans.

There are several columns of good
sound sense in the following from the
New York Times, and we commend
its perusal to all men:
The people are not tired Of, they
have nowhere rejected, Republican
principles. There is no loss which
may not be retrieved by the self>asser-
ton of the best men in the control of
the organization. The element
strong enough to command it are yet
its vital power, and can, if they will,
restore it everywhere to popular con-
fidence. 1t is only question of men,
1t is character, not platform, that will
command the support of all honest
men who are now Indifferent or wait
ing to make choice of tickets. We
can clearly see, with one class Of men
controlling it, that it is sure of victory.
1t is just as sure of defeat, given over
to the control of another set It can
not afford, for its own sake, much
more for the sake of the country, 10
make the mistake Of surrendering to
bad leaders anywhere.

How He Changed His Base.

A correspondent of the GaIna
Gazette furnishes the following biz of
information concerning the honest
miller of Lafayette:
"Monday morning, May "a, left Ca
lena for Alton to attend the State Sun.
day School Convention. Met Mr..
Worden of Darlington, Wis, fine
stately looking old gentleman. Was
on his way to Kansas to attend to his
large milling interests there. We
were very much interested in the con-
versation of Mr.. Worden. Mr. w. is
a native of New York. In 1914 he
moved to Tennessee and resided there
until 1853, at which time, looking
ahead with prophetic vision he saw
the war of the rebellion looming up,
and being a whig and Northern man
in his sympathies he disposed of his
interest in that State and moved to
Wisconsin. The turning point in his
determination in this move was occa-
stoned by few remarks made in a
cow ersation in 1850 with the late
Gen. Hollicoffer. He was at that time
a Wing, and was running for Con-
gress, and had been making speeches
against the Democratic nominee and
was stopping at Mr.. Worden's house
In the conversation about the political
outlook, Zolicoffer held that the
South would control the nation and
its politics always. cit is in the ma
ture of things, we at the South make
a speciality of politics, while the
Northern people are more Of COM
mercial turn; then we've furnished
more Presidents, look at Virginia the
mother of Presidents, we shall control
the politics of the nation" 1t was
then remarked, "But z. suppose the
North should wake up and assert their
rights and get control of the nation,
as they must sometime for they out
number US" Zollicoffer replied with
great emphasis, "then d--n it we will
fight for our rights, and make them
respect secession.'' This remark
said Mr.. Worden coming as it did
from leader and Wing, and man
Of influence, set me to thinking, and ]
thought it was time l was changing
my base"
Now will Mr.. Worden please in
form US what caused his "change Of
base" four years ago? Was it on ac-
count of his early love for Democratic
principles, or terrible itching for
Office ?

THE LAST OF THE THIRD TERM
The following is a Washington dis.
patch of the I'd:
The President in private CONVEX
sation with several western gentle-
men, to-day, gave still stronger as
sursnce of his remuneration of the
thrd-term project. Ore of the gen.
tlemen was very anxious to get an
expression of opinion from the Presl-
dent upon the subject of his recent
letter. The subject of the Indians
coming up, the gentleman referred to
the remark that probably the In
dams were in no hurry to settle their
troubles, on the ground that they
were belieyers in third term, and
had confidence that they would have
warm friend in the great father for
some years to come. Grant waved
his hand impatiently, almost, at the
remark, and said, with strong eupha-
sis, "That question is settled now.
There never can be any more talk
upon that subject, since my letter"
The manner of dismissing the ques-
ton, as one that had no concern for
him, convinced the questioner that
Grant considers himself completely
out OF the next pres Dental race.

National Temperance Convention

A National Temperance Convention
met in Chicago for three days ses-
sion. The membership of the con-
venti0n embraces the old National
Temperance Society and delegates
from the Woman's National Christian
Temperance Association. We take
the following from reports of the pro-
ceedings:
Hon. William E. Dodge, of New
York, called the convention to order
and nominated as temporary Chair
man, Rev. DR.. John NJ. Waldron,
whose election was unanimous.
Vice President Wilson was called
out and gave an eloquent brief address
in which he said: For more than forty
years he been a pledged temperance
man, and intended always to remain
snch The greatest evil Of nnr conn
try, next to the one that went in the
fire and blood, is the evil of intemper.
ance. 1t is the duty of patriotism, of
nutlduIGJ anu VI Ghl IoltdiIitJ " llFC
temperance lives, and exert a temper
ance influence. He felt that the
present was rather dull and troub
lous night for the temperance cause.
His reliance for the cause was our
Divine Master.
The convention then proceeded to
the election of officers. Hon. Hiram
Price, of Davenport, was chosen
President. Vice Presidents at large
were elected as follows: Hon. William
E. Dodge, Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Hon.
Henry Wilson, Mrs. Jennie Willing,
Rev. John Russell, Thomas Hunt, and
Mrs. Mary Llvermore, with others
representing the various States of tn e
Union, Rev. J w. Carhart, of Wis
consin. John n. Stearns, of New
York, was elected first Secretary, and
among others was Mrs. D. A. Beale,
of Wisconsin.
In the afternoon the delegates lis
tened to an address of welcome from
Rev, A. Kittridge, of Chicago, who
after appropriate remarks on the occa-
sion which called the convention
together, gave some statistics to show
what the advocates of Temperance
must combat. A neat response was
made by Mr.. O'Donnell, of New Y ork
in which he paid glowing tribute to
the national prosperity and moral
progress of the West.

THE DELLs SUIT.-A recent decis.
ion of the Supreme Court settles in a
measure tho famous Dells question,
and the Eau Claire folks must, in or
der to eventually win, bring up the
case in different form. The court
decided that it has jurisdiction of
this case, as we understand it, be.
cause tho Chippewa river is a navi-
gable stream and public highway.
The law Of last winter is unconstitu-
tional, it not being within the power
of tho legislature to authorize a
municipal corporation to build such
works and tax the people for it; the
mai object of the bill being not to
construct water works, but to make
a mill power and booming facilities,
which purpose is private and not
public.

sA-Considerable interest in the
Philadelphia centennial exhibition is
being manifested among Canadians.
The Dominion parliment has voted
100000 for the purpose, and there
is reason to believe that the various
provincial legislatures will add to
this whatever may be necessary.
From the former source will be de-
frayed all expenses of a general char
acter, while each province will be ex-
peoted to give special assistance 10
its own exhibition.

Third Term.

In the last issue the HERALD gave
the letter of President Grant on the
third term bugaboo. This week we
publish still later expression of the
President on this subject. 1t certain
ly should appear that his declaration
that he is not candidate for renom-
ination should settle for the future all
controversy and doubts as to his po-
sition. In his letter he expresses his
views with great simplicity and frank
ness, and we believe that his dcclara-
tions will be deemed satisfactory by
the people. And yet notwithstand-
ing the Presidents declaration that
he has never sought the office, and
would refuse denomination now ex-
cept under circumstances not likely
to occur, those who raised this cry
about a third term are not happy.
They pretend not to be satisfied with
President Grants utterances. These
persons remind us very forcibly of
the old topper. Said he: eff find
my wife abed when | get home (hic),
I'll lick her; for what right has she
to go to bed before come and if |
find her up when | get home I'll lick
her (hic), for what right has she to
be up wastin' wood and candles (hic).
I'll lick her anyway (hic)" Just SO
it is with these inconsistent grIm-
bIers and howlers they are bound to
be dissatisfied and find fault with the
President anyway.

INCREASING REvENUEs.-A Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Times
says
The commissioned of internal re-
venue is very much encouraged at
the prospect of the government re-
venues. The receipts thus far, in
the fiscal year ending July l, 1875,
are SOL, 245, 900, with yet a months
revenue to be heard from. The for
mer commissioner had estimated the
receipts of the year at S107, 100000.
The way the revenues are now COM
ing in, there promises to be an ex.
cess of some S9,000,000 above the es-
Inmates. When it is considered that
a large number of the great distiller-
les of the country are closed, one gets
q good idea of the great improve
ment in the revenue collections.
Then, tho sale of the raided distiiIeries
and their stock will swell very hand
somely the income of the Govern
ment.
