A Campaign Document.

We notice Governor Taylor has pro-
cured show bill. for campaign pur-
poses upon which are portraits of the
present State officers. At little dis
lance, it might readily be taken for a
'rogues gallery" The likeness Of
Governor Taylor is large, and is the
central figure. It looks as brave as
though Sat. Clark was the object he
looked upon, when he sat for the pict-
ure. There is one thing in it to be
deeply regretted. The hair seems to
grow too low on the forehead; there
fore, failing to show the real intellect
of the man. This gives the likeness a
sort Of dull, stupid expression, which
should have been avoided, even though
it required razor to remove the hair
We are glad this picture has been
made. 1t gave some one a good job !;
and its appearance among the people
will assure them, that men vain enough
to exhibit themselves in this ridiculous
way, are not the men to trust with the
management of the State Government.
This picture, with Slaughter's Sketch
of Taylor, will close out all prospects
of a reelection.

On THE 18th Of the present month
will commence running the fast u. S.
Mail train between New York and CHI
cego. The time will be 26 hours be-
tween the two points, a saving of Il
hours over regular schedule time now
made by the fastest trains. There
will be four cars, all white, Of various
lengths, the whole train including the
engine approzimating 800 feet. Only
four stops will be made between the
two points, and only the employees Of
the Post-Office Department will be al
lowed upon the train, as only mail
matter will be transported. A similar
train will leave Chicago at the same
hour for New York, and as the two

AS the clouds clear away.

AS the clouds clear away, and
men begin to look at the frost results,
they find they have not been so badly
hurt after all. The cranberry marsh
|es, though damaged severely, are not
so fatally injured as was at first sup
posed. Nearly all the marshes, with
the exception of Lyons & Dutruit' S
are turning out nobly. Some owners
will get half crop, others nearly two
thirds, while others will lose possibly
two-thirds Of the expected harvest.
At all events the cranberry crop will
be the largest, Notwithstanding the
frost, that was ever gathered in Wood
County. Corn in many localities
where the stalk was not killed is com
ing on finely, the ears hardening, and
new leaves starting forth of deep
green color indicating health. Beans
are pretty generally destroyed. fota-
toes are not very badly damaged.
Buckwheat is totally destroyed as are
vines almost everywhere. On the
whole, though we have been very I'M
fortunate, still, we have been very
fortunate. Because we are continually
escaping, we never know how near the
edge Of frightful precipices we tread,
and the untlmely frost though it has
spoiled our fields and gardens to a
great extent, may have been a kindly
messenger after all, saving US from an
endemic, which, with the hot weather
following might have carried death IN

Peter boyle and the Insurance
Companies.

The last OSHKOSH Northeastern con-
tains an able communication from GA
Democrat criticising severely the ac-
ton of Peter Doyle, Sec'y of State,
in dealing with the insurance compa
Aies. The facts are these: One T. d.
Grimer lost his house and barn by fire,
May 9th, 1874, insured in the Hart
ford Fire Insurance Company for S.
900. The Company refused to pay
the loss. Mr.. Grimer began an action
against the company which dragged
along till the Company in defiance of
law removed the case to the Federal
Courts. Now, the statute distinctly
says
eff any insurance company shall
make opp5jcatjon'' to remove a suit
from the state to the Federal Courts
''tt shall be The Imperative duty'' Of the
Secretary of the State to revoke the IL
cense OF such company.
It also provides that such company
making such application shall be la
bic to q penalty Of not less that one
hundred Or more than five hundred
dollars for each offense, and it shall be
the ''imp erative duty" of the attorney
general to see that the law is enforc
ed.
In view Of the fact that the Insur-
ance Company had trangressed the
law, thereby laying itself liable 60 a
revocation of its license, Gabe Bouck
demanded through Seo'y Doyle, the
proper officer, such revocation. The
demand Of Mr.. Bouck elected two re-
sponses from Mt. Doyle, both barney
ing letters, excusing the company and
expressing hope that the Company
would ssd5saUoU.
A second instance of lack of back
bone and desire to dovetail with
the insurance monopolies by Peter
Doyle, the honest reformer, occurs in
the case Of A. J. Drake, of the firm
of Gerard & Drake. Mr.. Drake sued
the Continental Insurance Company
in the Circuit Court of Winnebago
County to recover the sum of $500,
"a loss under one of its policies. In
this ease the same action was taken by
the Company, the case being sworn in
to the Federal Court. Mr.. Doyle's
attention was again called to the un-
warranted action Of the company in
disobeying the statute, and again Mr..
Doyle attempts to apologize for the
company in a blarneying letter utterly
ignoring his duty, which was to have
Immediately revoked the license of
said Company, The only reason why
both these companies carried the cases
to the Federal Courts was to tire out
the parties and bring them to COM
promise, as was the case with Mr..
Drake who received 500 for $1,000
claim. Rather than itigate in the
Federal Courts involving expense and
much trouble, parties prefer to sur
render a portion of their just dues; a
fact which the insurance monopolies
take advantage of, and thus save to
themselves many dollars. Now, the
lesson Of these cases is, Mr.. Peter
Doyle, Sec'y Of State, an honest Re
former and champion Of s'retoyma,"
chose 60 act dishonorably and dishon-

estly, ignoring the law, if not willfully
disobeying it, that he might curry ia
vor with insurance monopolies even at
the sacrifice of the interests of the
people of the State He has wilfully
disregarded his oath and made himself
a tool to be used by the companies for
the purpose of injuring and defraud-
ing the citizens of the State. Ofsuch

IT HAS BECOME the fashion, wheth-
er by accident or design. to speak of
the Democrats who oppose Gov. Tay-
lor's denomination as Bourbons, and
thus the impression is apt to be convey
ed that Gov. Taylor himself belongs
to the more progressive wing of the
party. There could be no more seri-
Gus mistake. Gov, Taylor is himself
the most unmitigated of Bourbons.
He has been Democrat ever since he
came to the State; he was a Copper
head during the war, and he has op-
posed, and still opposes. everything
that was done to secure the results of
the war. His political opinions are
all Of the reactionary kind that are

finding expression from such men as
