The trip from Oitumwa to this part
Of Kansas, by way of the St. L. X. c. 4
n. Road, though not a usual one with
the travelling public. is yet a very
pleasant one. 1t seems that with all
our roads reaching west in this dircc-
ton, connections arc now made only
by night trains. This fact, makes it
necessary, in leaving Ottumwa 10
make points in Kansas, to take either
the Ii o'clock at night train south, on
the X. & ID. NJ. Road. to connect with
the Southwestern at Eldon, or leav-

sleeping cars. either of these routes
will do well, but when-as was the
case in our party-thc ladies get little

night out, the route we came, is pre-
ferable. We arrivedat Moberly IL %
at night, and there, in the Merchants
Hotel, very neat and well kept
house, we went to bed and rested
well for about three and a half hours.

The ST. Louis Republican refers
with some tokens Of approval to the
action Of Connecticut in deciding to
have biennial instead of annual cleo
lions. There is much TO be said in
favor of such change. Much can be
said. also. against elections that are
held no oftener than once i'm two
years. But the educating process
which people undergo in a great
campaign is Of value beyond calcula-
ton. If it were not for these cleo
tons how could the people be in
formed upon questions involving in
the highest degree the public welfare :?
They are their own rulers. 1t is their
business to understand these ques-
tons. II is only on the superstition
that they do. that popular govern
mcnt becomes possible or desirable.
There is no time in which the work
Of education goes OH more thorough
ly or with greater practical results
than in such campaign as that we
have just passed through. Funda-
mental principles of finance have been
discussed in the hearing Of every man
in the State. and not once only. but
over and over again. Much in the
business world that was imperfcctly
understood. or understood not at all.
has been made plain to thousands of
voters all through the State. The
mysteries of the bonds, of the func-
tons of the currency. of the check, of
the clearing houses, of exchange, that
seemed as impcnctrable as the Indian

them, and have become Ineligible.
Financial history has been discussed.
points of law of the highest moment
have been explained, and universal
history itself has been examined to
furnish The voters OF The Sta To piccc-
dents for their guidance.
Now, the practical result of all this
discussion, which would not have
arisen but for the election, is that il
has made citizens better voters, more
enlightened, and better fitted to rule
themselves. Such discussions as these
are the schools of a Republic. They
are the conditions of growth. They
are necessary to the maintenance of
our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Times.

A MODEL ssRERORNl,. GOVERNOR

Gov. Taylor, re-nominated by the
Liberals for Governor of Wisconsin,
is "catching it from every quarter.

cured substitutes for his own town.
ship, during the war, at $50, and
charging the township $25O-the af-
fidavit being made by the recruiting
officer with whom he divided the
profits, and corroborated by the men
to whom the money was paid. A
number of minor WEAKNESSES and
populations have been proved upon
him. And now comes II. III. Breere-
ton, and makes affidavit that Taylor
attempted to bride him when men,
Der of the Dane county Board of Su-
pcrvisors. The offer of bride was
made through letter, and recently
Governor TAYLOR and his friends have
been making superhuman efforts to
get hold of that letter. The substance
of Brccreton's affidavit is that on the
4th Of September last. Gov. Taylor
approached him on the street and de-
sired q meeting at the Executive Of
flee. When Breereton appeared in
the Office, the Governor asked if he
had certain letter with him. Breere-
ton said he had. Governor Z. asked
to see it. This was granted. after
promise had been exacted to return
it. On returning it, Governor Tay-
lor thanked Breereton for not expos
ing him two years ago, and said if he
would follow the same course this
year. he would give him IA good posi-
ton: that he (Taylor) was sure of his
reelection, as the railroads were all
going to support him, and he wanted
not to be exposed before the conven-
ton as Sat Clark and q number of
''sore-heads were trying to defeat him;
and further, that his son-in-law, Bash
ford. wanted to see him. A day or
two afterward Brccreton received
letter from this -in-law, Bashford,
earnestly requesting an interview.
Brcercton returned word that he
could not come into town. A few
days afterward, Bashford drove out
to Breereton's farm, and offered to
give his boy position in the Capitol
at salary Of $500 or $500 per year, if
Breereton would surrender the letter,
which was refused. About the LIST of
October, Bashford again saw Breere-
ton, and offered him $500 and the po-
sitioa for his boy, if he would give
up the letter. This was refused. Mr..
Bashford then said "Now, you have
declined all my propositions, will you
make one, and if / have not money
enough with me to satisfy you, get
into the buggy with me and 90 to
Madison, and J will satisfy you."
Breereton told him that no an,onnt of |
money could induce him to violate |
his conscience that no act or word of |
his should be used to keep Taylor in
an Office he was SO unworthy to fill.
The affidavit continues: "Bashford
