Hathaway and His Accusers.

We have not heretofore thought
it necessary or proper to reply
to the insinuations and personal
attacks brought by disappointed
politicians and bogus Reformers
against the Republican candidate for
the State Senate. But we will break
over the line to reply to one point
that is urged against him. Mr.
Hathaway is charged as hav-
ing no interest in COM
mon with the property holders
of the couaty-as owning no lard
and paying no taxes. This is the
only charge of any account that is
worthy of reply. Mr.. Hathaway
is the Superintendent of the Graham
Mining Company, which has opera
ted at Muscalonge for some seven or
eight years, and of which he is mem
Der, owning one-fifth of the company
property. This company pays
probably as much, if not more,
taxes than any other corporation in
the county. The Records in the coun-
ty Clerks Office show that the
Graham Mining Company has
paid as taxes since June, 1867,
the sum of 81 1854. Mr.. Hatha-
way, who is a fifth owner of this
property, certainly pays taxes. The
Graham Mining Company has raised
not less than a half a million of lead.
1t is one of the great institutions of
Grant county, developing the hidden
resources OF the county and provide
unemployment for large number
of laborers. Why it is dishonorable
to be member of truly industrial
association like this and pay taxes
in the name of the company instead
of in ones own name, we can't see.
We will have to borrow Reform cog
giles to decipher the question.

TIE Present Duty.

One thing Republicans every W here
should understand, and that is, that
that this is no time for bick ering. All
successes are accompanied by dissen-
sions; all victories. it would seem by
quarrels among the victors. Dlssat
isfaction is as normal as the reverse.
Therefore, it is natural that a great
political organization should be tor
mented thereby. During the past
two years this feeling has grown,
eliminated and exploded. Where
the fragments are it is not designed
to suggest. Certain it is, that there
was in this dissatisfaction much that
was honest in purpose. AS for the
judgment displayed, either in boiling
or staying at home, the best verdict
is found 10 silence and not in sum-
ming up. The personal ill-will Of
older advocates, who imagined that
service gave them transcendant
claims, helped by the feeling express
ed in their behalf, to foster the fears
of the honest minority, for whom
reformers were too slow, because
they either over-rated the evil or
under rated the obstacles. Bat all
this is passing. The "independent"
and dissatisfied Republican has no
longer any reason to doubt whittier
the Democracy tends that his dissat-
isfactlon has temporarily aided to
place in power. So seeing, he must
recognize the fact that the party of
liberty is the party Of reform.
Guerilla warfare is never allowable
where an organized force is in exist
ence The fate of Partizan rangers
is to be absorbed or shot by one
or the other of the opposing armies,
The fifteen thousand or more Repub-
lican voters ia Wisconsin who two
years ago staid at home on election
day, or went over to the foe, are
learning now that they asked for
bread only to receive a stone which
was designed to brain them. The
duty Of Republicans is very plain.
1t is to close up the ranks compactly,
inviting all who want to train with
them under the kindly banners Of
old. No recriminations should be
INDUCED in. No quarres or bicker-
ings should be allowed. No denuncia-
tions should be permitted. Votes
are what we want. Victories are
what we strive for The enemy is
before US. elated by past victories,
Conscious, toe, that they are not
quite sure of the ground they have
won. Just now they whistle like
boys to keep up their courage. In
side their own lines dscords aro
heard. A perfect witch chorus of
commingling contrarieties come from
their camp. The Republican banners
are unchanged. The leaders are as
trusty as ever. Reform is possible
within. In fact that is the only
place where il can be achieved.

does not Governor Taylor condescend

a little careful how he approaches the

have is to say made all the money.
But will the people believe that this
great economist and faithful servant

That is the amount it cost to con-
duct our State government during
the year past, ending September 80,
1875, under Taylor Reform rule.
Ferdinand Kuehn, the Reform State
Treasurer, is our authority. His an
nual report for the fiscal year ending
September 80 is already in the han DIS
of the printers for publication. Look
ing over previous reports from that
office during the last two years of
Republican rule and the first of Re-
form rule, we discover that the ex-
penses of the State government are
as follows
For 1872, (Washburn). 81 ,O76, 442 96
For 1878, (Washburn) ........... 1871, 966.0l
For 1874, (Taylor). ,03S 70S 81
For 1878, tTaylorl. 1900, 1889
These figures appear in the reports
OF the State Treasurer and may be re
lied on as correct We fail 10 discover
where "Rsform" has saved the State
that $500 day" We call upon
the Lancaster AdUocate or any other
advocate of Reform humbuggery to
enIighten US upon this matter. How
was it saved? What has become OF
it? The fact is, after deducting from
the above annual total the extraor-
binary expenses Of each year for
public improvements the balance
shows that the State under Washburn
was conducted far more economi-
ca y than under Taylor. Instead of
Saving" $500 day to the State, we
are prepared to prove that the
raylor Reform party has been
Shaving" the State TO the tune OF
not less than $500 day.

Gone Back on Taylor.

The Milwaukee Herold German
has been an ardent supporter of the
great Reform light Governor VIM.
Il. Taylor-for re election. But the
Carter Farr statement proves too
much for it. AT first it regarded the
Statements regarding the Cottage
Grove bounty frauds of Taylor as
mere clap-trap TO catch votes. But
the continued evidence in proof of
Taylor's guilt has changed matters
very materially in the eyes of the
Her0M. 1t says, in lengthy article
reviewing the charges brought against
Taylor, as follows:
But, now, Col. Farr states that he
has been entreated by Governor Tay
lor to withdraw his charges but, in
stead of Withdrawing them, he reiter-
ates them, and demands of Governor
Taylor that he either make denial Of
them by affidavit, or sue him (Farr)
for libel. Under these circumstances,
we are compelled to believe Govern
or Taylor's duty is to comply with
the demand and we have dispatched
inquiries to Madison to learn Just
what he intends doing, in order to
govern our position regarding him
accordingly. We shall not change
our position regarding the rest of the
ticket"
Which means that the Herold,
which is the most influential German
newspaper in the State, will withdraw
its support of Mr.. Taylor, because
he (Taylor) has no defense and can
not deny the charges brought against
him

Every year increases the populali-

which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our GA patrons that il is
kept fully up TO its high standard !;
and it is the only reliable and pericct-
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
: badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal yigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer Of Massachusetts,, says,

fully selected for excellent quality;

RATION for its intended purposes"

Another Scalping Case.
From The Oshkosh Northwe ster n


Another scalping case exactly
similar to the Amelia Grumall case
which happened in this city about
two years ago, is reported in Ohio.
From the following dispatch it will
be seen that her scalp was torn off
in exactly the same manner, and
that the same process is being used
to restore the scalp:
CINCINNATI, Chic, October Yesterday
afternoon, at Remington Station, on the Cin-
cirnat and Marietta railway, Carrie Dawson,
employed in paper mill, while standing near
a revolving shaft, was caught by her hair and
the scalp torn from her head, stripping the
skin from the back Of her neck to the eye-
brows Considerable time elapsed before
medical aid reached her, and it was not
deemed advisable to attempt to restore the
liteless scalp to its former place. To-day DR..
A. j Howe, of this city, commenced the
resto ration of the skin to the wounded girls
head by taking small pieces of the scalp from
the head of her sister, who gave herself freely
for her injured sisters relief, while another
lady offered skin from her own shoulder to
supply what was needed for the forehead.
Supplies sufficient to start a growth of men,
brane were taken from each of these ladies,
and while Miss Dawson's condition is danger

measures to suppress it, before fairly

Indians will be stirred up to such an
extent that trouble and a treaty must
follow. Except few timid ones, the
people on the frontier do not fear the
result in that case, believing that it
will require more troops to be thrown

ment and adding to the population of
