THE OPPOSING PARTIES.

The man who would vote and work
against the Republican party because a
few faults have been developed III its
splendid record of fourteen years, is as
wise us the man who destroyed his wag-
on-wheel because active service had
scratched the paint on its surface. The
purest man that ever lived had his
faults. If we overlook virtue and mag
Nifty trifiing faults, the most illustrious
character must pass under condemnation.
The Republican party must be judged
from the standpoint of common sense
and ordinary justice. There is enough
revealed to the eye, seen by all men,
that is grand and praisworthy in its his
tory, without applying the microscope
to the inspection of imaginary faults.
The party lays no claim to perfection,
but it does to political honesty and true
patriotism, and points to its record for
the vindication of this claim. If it has
committed errors it has been quick to
remedy them. It has labored to do
right. Justice, humanity, national uni
ty have been the objects toward which
its face has been turned. To advance,
protect and secure these as the ground
work of our nationality, it's whole ener-
gy has been directed There is no risk
in trusting the Republican party. Its
fidelity to the Republic has been tested.
1t was true in time of peril, it ca1not be
untrue in time of security. There is a
risk, positive danger IN trusting the
Democracy. Its records are bad, it's
present teachings are dangerous, it's lea
ders are Unworthy of confidence. What
we kcow to be good and reliable we
Should earnestly support. What we be-
ieve to be bad and unreliable we should
reject. Post.

REFORM TOTTERS TO ITS GRAVE.

Reform is sick ard staggers to its grave.
Its freiends look on silent and ashamed !;
its quCndam supporters point at it in de-
rlslon. or turn away with disgust 1t
has not strength to hide it cannot
raise its palsied hands to conceal its
face, but totters toward the Potters field
where there are so.many graves Of pol
itical frauds and defunct parties.
Reform has lived life of hypocrisy
and shame. Processing purity, it has
been guilty of gross corruption. It has
put men in Office for private gain. It
has favored or opposed public measures
to serve personal and party ends. It
has dismissed and Inundated honored
and accomplished public servants, and
put greedy and incompetent partisans
in their places. It has denied every
shameless act, new or old, that has been
proved against it, and when that failed,
has tried to distract attention by invent
ing SANDERS against Republicans.
reform has set up success as an idol,
regardless of personal worth. 1t has
struck down independence of thought
with the dirty bludgeon of detraction.
1t has hourished its truncheon in the
face of party friends who had the many
courage to criticise official acts. 1t has
selfrespect by speaking plainly, and re-
warded the subservient. 1t has privately
promised favors to friends and openly
denied them. 1t has openly professed
friendship for certain interests and Sc
cretly sold them out.
Reform has promised profusely and
failed to redeem its pledges It has
been guilty of the evils it denounced. 1t
record contrndicts its platform its pro-
LESSONS are the severest comments on its
own practices.
Reform has shown the debasing infiu-
ence of mere accidental success on men
of character and brains. 1t has made
them support that which they secretly
despised. By the cunning manipulation
of party machinery they become access
cries in the attempt to perpetuate
fraud and sham. Reform has been a
standing refutation of our boosted edu-
cation and refinement it has blocked
the road of progress, and the people of
Wisconsin will be glad when they can
see written over its grave next Novem-
Der REFORM IS DEAD.

AFTER MANY DAYS.
The Buried Gold Turns Up-A Sensa1io in the
Town of F. anklin-Quite Like a Novel.

In 1S58-seventeen years ago James
Ford came to Wisconsin, from Califor
mia, and located in the southern part of
the Town of Franklin. After paying for
his property, and the necessary nipple
ments he had sum of money, in gold
left. The amount is not known exactly
but it is stated at the sum of 81, 500.
This sum Ford placed in box and bur-
led it in certain place, on his farm, near
an old stump. This was in accordance
with a custom prevalent in California
In due course of time he made
search for the money, but could not find
it. He stated then that there We're 9TH
er parties in an adjoining field, when he
buried the money, and was of the opin-
ion THAT possibly they took it. The
family to whom he stated the facts,
thought it was probable that he was
simply endeavoring to make them think
that he had made more money in Cali
fornia than he really had. In fact, they
thought the story about burying the
gold had considerable moonshine about
In course of time, James Ford died.
His place was sold to his brother, John
Ford, and he now occupies it.
One week ago Friday, Ford's hired
man was out in the field, picking up
stones, when he found glittering piece
of metal. He didn't know what it was,
and took it to Ford's son, who recognize
ed it a a 90 dollar gold piece. The
young man had the servant point out
the spot where he found the gold, and
then a search was commenced.
The old forgotten story of the buried
gold was revived, and more faith was
put in it, than when it was first told
Search was continued, and day by day
an additional piece was found-until,
thus far, six $50 pieces, making $120,
have been found.
Whether that is all, of course isn't
known. One report is that he only bur-
led that amount !; but the other shows
that $500 was the amount buried.
Search is still being made for more of
the precious metal.
John Ford, the present owner of the
place, is father-in-law of Bryan Kelley,
x-Under-Sheriff, and Officer Kelley, of
the police force. Mrs. Ford, the wife
of James Ford, the one who buried the
money, is still alive -E0eaj7lg IFjscog-

The Texas CYCLoNE-Additiona ad-
Wee from the Texas and Louisiana coast
regions, which were swept by the recent
tornado and flooded by the waters of the
Gull. show that the destruction wrought
was much more disastrous and extensive
than the first reports Indicated The
loss of life is now estimated at 400. The
storm extended inland to Houston,
which city suffered considerably. Near
~ ali the small towns on the Texas coast
were either entirely washed away or
greatly damaged. The damage, both
IN Louisiana and Texas, to plantation
property N the interior, is very great.
The people in Southern Texas, who
thousands of them-are the victims of
the sweeping gale and food, are in
pressing need of relief. 1t is probable
that portions of Mexico also suffered in
like manner. It YVES one of the severest
cyclones that has ever visited the Gulf
region.

HE Democrats are publishing figures
showing how great an amount OF license
fees has been collected during their adj
minlstration of the state government, but
they fail to state how this sum has been
obtained. They fail to state that it has
been collected in part by forcing farmers
to pay peddlers license for simply selling
out their own products on the streets.
They fail to state that poor persons
peddling their own manufactures have
been forced to pay this license fee con-
trary to law. They fail to state the
amount of fees pocketed by the Treasury
Agent by the unjust and extortionate
execution of the law. The fees
of this Industrious reform agent
are stated at about $1,000 since January
1873: Perhaps farmers and poor people
will like this kind of zeal for the staten

The Republicans have carried nearly
everything before them in Colorado,
electing a majority of the Legislature,
and leaving the opposition only few
county officers. Last year the Demo-
Gratis elected their candidate for Dele
gate in Congress by 2, 1853. We have not
discovered that any opposition paper
has made a note of this.
