Small Business.

The reformers seem to be running their
campaign on very cheap and stale basis
| all over the State. Their latest dodge is
the circulation of document among the
Irish voters making strong but sill ~ ap-
peal to lrishmen to vote against Ludington,
on the ground that he was once member
Of the Know-Nothing organization. The
story of Ludington's connection with the
Know-Nothing party has been 50 thorough
ly exploded that it is unworthy the atten-
ton of any sensible man. Those who at
ternpt to make capital with the Irish in this
con n.emptible manner must place q poor es-
innate on the intelligence aud good sense
of our I-ish fellow-citizens. The day IS
past when they are to be caught with such
chaff mir. Ludlngton has been elected
mayor of Milwaukee for several years by
the aid of Irish votes, and it is an insult to
these voters to say that they assisted to ele-
vate sworn enemy. While in Office a
majority of the appointments made by
mayor Ludington, have been from citizens
of foreign birth, the Irish people coming in
for large share, as the official records of
Milwaukee show Besides all this, no man
in Milwaukee has been more liberal in sup
port Of Catholic charities than Harrison
Ludington. The Nnow- Nothing charges
against him in the face of these facts fall of
their own weight, and can have no other
effect than to recol with force on those
who make them.

The Democrat of last week IN its zeal to
defend Gov. Taylor took occasion to call
the REPUBLICAN bad names, because it said
the Governor was in the city week before
last on an electioneering tour. It is the
Democrats business to do all it can to Sc.
cure the election Of democratic Governor
but it is not called unon to ignore journal
istic courtesy in Sc doing. We, however
excuse the Democrat, on account of the
'little irregularities" which are no and

t,ne OF the best nominations made during
the campaign, is that of Captain D. W
Curtis, Of Fort Atkinson, for Member OF
Assembly. from the Sd District of jefferson
County. Capt. Curtis came into the county
when child, and is in every sense of the
word is prime fellow. He is an un1inch-
ing republican, and will, make useful an |
reliable member of the Legislature. The
nomination of Captain Curtis is sure to be
warmly endorsed at the polls, and his cleo
tion may be set down as a foregone con-
clusion.
