Observation-Disclosures Huntson,
the pugilistic individual who east
while earned his bread by the sweat
of his brow at the Eureka mill, was
discharged yesterday. The jury
that tried his case stood five and
four, and after discussing the ques-
ton of Chris guilt to their hearts
content, and played poker until the
thing become monotonous, they
asked to be discharged. The Judge
was moved by the disordered appear
ance of his court room and the tired
look of the nine unfortunate men,
and ganted their request. The next
morning, by advice of the Prosecut-
ing Attorney, he turned loose the de-
tendant.

Conversions from Democracy.

Another Democratic club in New
York city has abandoned Tilden and
Hendricks. This second one is very
large. The change was made last
Friday night. The following resolu-
ton was passed unanimously:
Be 1t Resolved, That we indorse the reg
ular Republican nominations, for President,
Rutherford B. Hayes TOR Vice President,
W. A. Wheeler; tor Governor, Edwin D.
Morgan; for Lieutenant Governor, Sherman
S. Rogers
Thus we have two Democratic clubs
in Tilden's own city repudiatipg him.
He has lived in New York thirty-six
years. Home reputation is especially
significant. 1t shows that where he
is best known he is most distrusted.
Another and hardly less significant
fact is, that John Jacob Astor, grand
son of the first Astor known to fame,
mas abandoned Tilden. He has always
been a Democrat. He is a man con.
spicuous for his business sagacity
No Office could tempt him His with
drawal from Tilden and support OF
Hayes shows that he believes
that the election of Tilden
would be calamity to the business Ct
the country. Mr.. Astor is prob
aoly the wealthiest of American citi-
zens now living, except Commodore
Vanderbilt.

A Brace OF RefOrmerS.

The fraudulent manner in which
Judge Cate obtained the seat in Con.
gress which rightfully belonged to
Hon. A. S McDill has not been for
gotten by our readers Judge Orton
was retained by DR.. McDill to prepare
his case and make an argument before
the Supreme Court in the contest be-
tween certain county officers in Wood
county, in which the same question
was involved as in the matter Of Cate S
right to his seat. The same rule of
law aud evidence which would unseat
the Democratic county officers would
also rule out Cate. Judge Orion sue
ceeded in the Supreme Court and OBJ
tanned judgment of ouste against the
Democrats who had been fraudulently
counted in, and much bad feeling was
engendered between Olton and Cate in
consequence. Judge o. published a
letter stigmatizing Cate as liar, and a
little later Cate published Orion to the
world as liar. At the present time,
however, We find them doing what the
farmers call "changing works." that is
Judge Orion has been up in Gates
district to help Cate, who is candi-
date for reelection, taking back all the
hard things he said about him but a
few months ago, and now may expect
Cate down here to return the compli.
ment and tickle Judge Orion. If over
half Of what they said about each other
little more than year ago, be true,
neither of them is fit to 60 to Congress.
But for the sake of reform" they are
both now ready to wash each others
dirty linen, if by so doing they can
humbug the people into voting fol
them. What nice thing thing Gre

If the Democratic party is success.
full, it means that the "Solid South" is
successful, and the leaders of the
"Solid South" will be the rulers OF The
Democratic party from the states
The confederates are the men who will
dictate policy and originate and con-
troll Legislation, and they are deter
mined that the North shall compensate
them for their losses during the war,
and the Northern doughfaces and COP
perheads will do their bidding next
winter as they did it before the war
How can Harlow S. Orion, if elected
to Congress. consistently do otherwise
than vote with the Southern Demo-
Gratis. He declared the war was un-
constitutional and a failure. That
being SO, all the damages sustained by
the South we're in contravention of
law, and the Government is bound to
make reparation. This is the ground
on which these Southern demands are
made. Judge Orion, as a lawyer, can
do no less than decide that the claims
are legal, if he still maintains that the
war was unconstitutional Upon this
proposition Mr.. Caswell has made his
record in Congress; aud it is on the
right side. He is opposed to the pay
ment of the claims made by the rebels,
and will never vote to pay them sim
gle dollar.

Judge OrtOn's DemagOgueism.

Judge Orton in his speeches tries to
make it appear that the hard times are
fairly attributable to tho Republican
party. In this he is but following in
the wake generally of Democratic ora
tors and newspapers. There is, we
are happy to say, one honorable excep-
ton to the rule Gabe Bouck, who is
running for Congress in the Oshkosh
district, scorns the use of clap-trap ar
guments and admits that the same are
unfounded. Not long since, Gabe ad-
dressed meeting where Judge Cate,
who is likewise a candidate for Con-
gress, spoke, and the latter arraigned
the Republican party for all the mon
etary difficulties which have afflicted
the country. He made out, as he sup
posed very good case, but when it
came Gabe's turn to speak, he joined
issue at once with Cate, as follows.
He sad:
while I support Mr.. Tilden, |
shall resort to no demagogue argument
in his favor, and | therefore cannot
agree with Judge Cate about the re
sponsibility of the hard times. All
over Europe the times are close, as
we'll as here, and the Republican party
don't rule there. Unpleasant as the
task may be, fellow citizens, | must
candidly tell you that no political party
is responsible. that the financial de-
preston grows largely GU. of our ex
travagant mode of conducting business,
of living too fast; and we must get
back to our old fashioned mode of
economy"
There can be no doubt that Bouck
is correct. It is wonderful that the
country has fourished as it has since
the close of the war. The great de-
struction of property and the loss of
lives incident to the rebellion could
not do otherwise than exert an unfa-
vorable influence. That hard times
should follow sooner or later was to be
expected, and the responsibility rests
with those who inaugurated the war.
As matter of fact, it is the Demo
cratic and not the Republican party
which is accountable for all the
mischief.

Money in Elections.

Harlow S. Orion and the party to
which he belongs are ostensibly op-
posed to the use OF money in elections
Or anything interfering with fair and
untrammelled expression of the will of
the people. They have much to say
about Republicans violating the purity
of the ballot box, and they indulge in
much else of this kind of twaddle
which can deceive no one Of ordinary
intelligence. To show the hypocrisy
Of Judge Orton In this matter, We clip
from the Chicago Times a portion of
an interview which we find reported
between him and a Times correspond
emit:
"What do you think Tilden will carry
the state by 2"
II think the probabilities are that he will
carry it by from 5000 to 10000 majority.
"Do you regard this as sure?'
80, by no means! | am confident, how
ever that it could be made certainty if
We could only have little financial assist
anee from the outside"
"a little financial assistance" for
scoth. It appears then that Judge
Ortoc would not object to contributions
of money to aid his party and himself
in the coming election. But if Re.
publlcans expend a cent. no matter
bow necessary and legitimate tho use
OF the same asy he, what powl does
60 up from these demagogues Of the
Oiton stripe about fraud and corrup-
ion."

izing silver, and that of 1875, compel
ling the payment of all debts in gold
after January l, 1879. have almost
we'll nigh FRUSTRATED the interests Of
the country. They have brought upon
us the hard times from which every
community is now suffering.
We clip the above from the Jeffer-
son Banner. This is the same doc.
trine advocated last week by Judge
Orion in his speech at Turner Hall.
Now, why could not the Banner have
been honest with its readers, and why
could not Judge Orion have given his
hearers all the facts and told the whole
truth, instead of trying to mislead and
misrepresent. We dissent IN toto from
the conclusions reached by Judge
Orion, but admitting for the sake of
the argument that they are correct,
the fact is, that Samuel j. Tilden oc-
cupied the Identical ground upon
which President Grant stood in regard
to the resumption of specie payments
The aot Of Congress upon that subject
was passed January ID, 1875, and in
the session laws of New York is found
the following:
CHAPTER 70.
SECTION /. All taxes levied and con-
6rmed in this State on and after January l !,
1879, shall be collected in gold, United
States gold certificates or National bank
notes which are redeemable in gold on demand
'SEc 2. Eoery contract or obligation, made
or implied, and payable within this State,
and made or inn lie after January |, 1879,
and payable in dollars, but not in specified
kind of dollars, shall be pa, able in United
States coin OF the standard Of weight aud
ineness established by the laws of the
United States at the time the contract or
obligation snail have been made or implied.
approved March %, ls75--SAMUEL
TlLDEN, Governor"
Here, then. is the Democratic party
in New York, and Samuel J. Tilden
committed to the same policy which,
according to the Banner and Orion,
has "prostrsted the industries of the
country" All, Judge Orion! you
should be ashamed of such miserable
subterfuge and hypocrisy. In the first
place, your argument is the merest
clap-trap intended to catch gudgeons;
and next, you have shown yourself to
be wanting in that candor and political
honesty which too many people have
considered Jour distinguishing traits
of character

The Jefferson Banner last week
wept crocodile tears copiously over the
terribly harsh treatment which it says
Mai. G. W Burchard has received in
his assembly district at the hands Of
the Republican party. The Banne,
enjoys complete monopoly of the
grief manifested in this case. The
only feeling that Maj. Burchard has in
the premises is one Of contempt for the
Banner for supposing that he can be
fooled by its silly nonsense. The
Bonner had better try again.

Democratic ssRefOrm.0

The.Democratic party is clamorous
for reform. The Democratic party de-
nounces corruption in office, and has
for its motto "put none but honest
men on guard" The Democratic
party in Jefferson county is running
for Member Of Assembly in the I'd
district William w. Woodman, who
took SIS, 900 of corruption bonds when
in the Legislature in 1856, from the
old LA Crosse Railroad Company. The
Democratic party, therefore, breaches
one thing and practices another. We
then have right to assert that the
Democratic party is an unmitigated
humbug and fraud. IF the Democratic
party is honest in its cry for reform,
why not let reform commence within
its own ranks? Are we to infer that
II the Democratic party is restored to
power, men, of whom William w.
Woodman is a type, with an official
record which should make any man or
party blush, are to come to the front
and enjoy official places of honor and
emolunents Is that what people are
voting for under the name of reform
If that is so, they had better support
some other ticket embodying true re-
form. and have nothing to do with the
bogus article rendered BY the Demo
cratic party.

Judge Orion at Portage.

Hon. II. S. Orion spoke few eve
nings since at Portage, and the follow
ing is what the State Register said
of his speech:
"Hon. II. S. Orion came up here
the other day and talked the softest
kind of soft money and anti-resumption
to his hearers, in the name of democra-
cy."
We commend the above to hard
money German Democrats. Let them
think of it and hesitate before voting
for man who does not represent their
views upon this vital question.

nominated fo- the Presidency, Judge
Orion declared the war was failure.
If elected to Congress he will do his
level best to make good that declare
ton, and must necessarily act and vote
with the South.
