There is one circumstance, however.
that we have referred to heretofore
and we wish to repeat again IN connec-
ton with this subject. a number of
years agr in 1859, we think, con-
test arose in our state legislature over
this very question. Moses 5, Gibson,
republican. snd NJ, W McCracken,
democrat, were opposing candidates
for the assembly. The latter gentlemen
received majority Of the votes, but,
by the failure of one of the Lake Su-
perior counties to make returns, Mr..
Gibson received the certificate Of cleo
ton; Mr.. McCracken contested the
seat, and Mr.. Gibson defended on prec
isely the same ground that Judge Cate
maintains his claim to seat, that the
controlling votes were cast by class of
voters to enable man to retain seat
to which he was not elected?
1t is well for the democratic press
to consider this question on its merits,
for it is probable that next January the
supreme court Of this state will have
to pass upon the legal right of these
men to vote, in contested case that
will probably come before it from
Douglas county. If the supreme
court should decide that these men are
voters, there will be no chance what
ever to defend Judge Cate from the
charge of holding a seat in congress
under circumstances at once dishonora-
bic and disgraceful. -Reytster.

If the Almighty will rid the Amer

next thirty days, millions will rise up
and bless Him with heartfelt gratitude

Let US see. We believe it was
Booth who murdered Lincoln. Booth
was Democrat if we remember cor
rectly. Reform, Democracy doesn't
differ much from the old Bourbon
type, after all, docs it The same
prayer went up when Grant was at
the head of t. forces in the field.
The financial failures during the
past six years-the crime-the suicides
the universal paralyzation Of bust
ness throughout the whole country
are almost wholly due to the financial
blunders of Grant and his parity
Tribune.
Jack, you forgot to mention all the
disasters incident to Grants reign.
There the rheumatism and bilcS !;

guisher; the destruction Of the cram

innumerable belly aches and robbing
Of clothes lines. 0, Jack, don't stop
so short. Tell US all about it.

IT IS said that Tom. Scott Of Grand
Rapids viii undoubtedly be the Repub-
lican nominee for Congress next fall
If the Republican party Of the Eighth
District is reduced to that, may God
help the Republican party. If Scott
is the best man they can put up to
beat Cate with, they might as well
make no nomination. It would be a
softer thing for Gate than he ever hop
ed for Ha,paca Republican
This sling by the carroty headed
curvature Of the Republican at SO wor,
thy man as Mr. Scott is as indecent
as untrue. We should have taken no
notice Of it, only that it is being copied
by the Reform press pretty generally,
and We deem it duty SO to do. When
Bright feels quamish he must throw
up something, else he isn't relieved.
If Bright will attend to the wants and
needs Of his own district and not 90
cavorting into neighboring political
territory, undoubtedly he will find it
more to his advantage Undoubtedly
Cate has paid the red headed idiot of
the Republican as much as seventeen
cents else the deformed incubus and
strutting nightmare Of Waupaca coun-
ty would have been silent Thou
crimson tool! do you not know that
Mr.. Scott has a thousand friends to
your one, and that the Eighth Dis
trict recognize him as the coming man
who will send your political pontif tc
his little bed with covering Of fve
thousand majority to keep him warm.
while his political pontiG- Cate shall be
newly wain-Scott-ed and purified, and
that no mongrel NANCY eur like your
self-bought for dime and sold for
less, may never seek for entrance
therein. 0, thou Aatulent fool! learn
political wisdom, rid yourself of feas
and be good natured if you cant be
decent.

Eclectic MaEaHinc.

The Eclectic for December is an ex-
ceptionally good number Of a maya
zine which scldoms contains anything
that is not worth the attention of in
telligent readers. The article on
Money is alone, 10 use a familiar
phrase, worth the price Of the maya
zine; as the Spectator says, it IS $50
wise and so humorous as almost to
console any one who has none, or at
least not much" No story could be
more interesting, and yet the real
nature and function Of money is eX-
planned with such lucidity that even
the wayGariug man can not fail to
comprehend Col. Chesney's article
on The Military Future of Germany
is of real value, as the opinion OF
one Of the most competent military
critics in Europe. Prof. OAen's
paper On Petroleum and Oil>WellS is
of especial interest to Americans,
though it has attracted unusual atten,
ton in England; and Gen. SJrachcy's
on The Place Of Geography in Physj-
cal Science is one of the most impor-
tant read at the last meeting OF the
British Association O,her articles
ofsarcely inferior interest, are :Cowper
and SOUS eau West Indian SuperSli>
tions; Michael Angelo and In my
Study Chair. The number is espec-
ialiy strong in poetry, The Children
Bedtime being one of the mos,
beautiful of recent poems relating to
childhood, and \ Lapiand Legend
a pictureque version of one Of the old
nature-myths. The interest of Mrs
Alexander's novel Her Dearest Foe
is developing rapidly, and Jonathan
draws to a close, Lastly, the Edi-
torial departments are jil!ed with mis-
cellaneous good things, Nor must
we omit 10 mention that there is a fine
steel portrait Of Professor John Viii
liam Draper.
As the time for selecting nextyear''
periodicals is rapidly approaching
such Of our readers as have not yet
made their choice. would do well to
pet a copy Of the December Eclectic,
and make trial Of what it offers.
