Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1876-06-08

The Wood county canvass had little
or nothing to do with the controversy.
The question at issue was the Indian
vote, and not the Wood county returns.
Oshkosh Times
So Judge Cate admits that he was
not elected, if all the votes cast were
legal, but he assumes that portion of
them cast against him were not legal,
and on such assumption he takes seat
on fraudulent return. Now there
are many who not only assume, but
who charge, that for every illegal vote
Judge Cate can show for his opponent,
five illegal votes can be shown to have
been cast for Judge Cate, but the
trouble is that DR.. McDill was thor
Eoughly satisfied that he could not get
Justice at the hands of confederate
congress, so he withdrew from the con-
test, and he has since died. and there
is no one to prosecute the contest.
But, as the Times claims that an
Indian vote was cast for McDill, we
would like to have it shed little light
on the following points:
l, Has not the class fmen to whose
votes Judge Gate objects, been in the
habit Of voting, without question, ever
since the state was organized?
2. Did not republican legislature,
few years ago, decided that these
f, "Indians were voters by unseating NJ.
S. Gibson a republican member, who
claimed that these same men that Cate
new objects to, were not voters. and
give the seat to NJ. W. McCracken, a
democrat. who, by counting their votes,
was elected 1t must know that such
is fact.
3 Did not the democrats elect D.
Geo Morrison, Of Douglass county,
sheriff Of that county, on the same
ticket that Judge Cate ran, and does
not every objection that Judge Cate
makes to other men as not being "In-
dams lie against Mr.. Morrison :?
Such is the fact.
4. Has not the state Of Wisconsin
recognized Mr.. Morrison's right to
exercise the duties of Office, unques-
toned ?
5. Are not these Lake Superior In
dams almost wholly democrats Do
they not vote at every election? and
is it illegal for them to vote when they
scratch Judge Cate, as some of them
did?
6. Will the democrats deny the right
of these Indians to vote this fall, if
they vote the democratic ticket?
I. Was it not as legal for half breeds
to vote against Judge Cate as it was
for several hundred foreigners who had
neither lived in the state a year nor
declared their intentions to become
citizens, to vote for him?
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1876-06-08

seeking it? What influence was it
that led him to pay any consideration
to Harvey, who was subordinate Off
Ger of the House and to Green who
was stranger? Would Repubh-
can under these circumstances have
received the same consideration from
rhe Democratic Press that Speaker
Kerr has from the Republican Press :?
The failings of few individual men,
bsrs of the Republican party is the
stock in trade Of the Southern Dem
ocracy while the preservation and ad-
vancement of the country is the mani
fest desire of the Republican party.
The Senate have decided the ques-
tion of jurisdiction as to the Impeach-
ment trial of Ex-Secretary Belknap
in affirmative and the trial is to COM
mence on Tuesday next.
There is considerable fault found
with the appointment of Hon. Don.
Cameron as Secretary Of War but not
any more than there was with the APP
continent of Hon. Zach. Chandler as
Secretary of the Interior, and he will
undoubtedly within short time dem
onstrate, the same as Secretary Chand-
Ter has, that che is the right man in
the right place. -

Centennial Christian Homes.

The great number of visitors in
Philadelphia, during the Centennial
Exhibition, necessitates the opening of
private homes for board and lodging.
Many Christian families, who are I'M
willing to open their doors to a pro-
miscuous public, have arranged plan
by which they give admission to Chris
tians and their friends. This will be
equally pleasant to Christian people
abroad who may not wish to be asso-
ciated with the great variety Of char
acters brought together In hotels and
public boarding houses.
In order to have this select class the
price of board is generally much lower
than prevails by other arrangements,
varying from S. to 81 week, and
from one 81 to $50 per day. Each
family fixes its own price, and receives
its pay direct from its guest. Those
wishing to secure places under this ar
rangement will please write as long as
possible to the Office for Centennial

OF others, and when the effort was not
made in the interest of true reform,
but, simply, to galvanize their own
iniquities. We are glad to note the
fact that the more high-minded and
honest reform papers in Wisconsin do
not attempt to defend. Gov. Taylor.
That party duty seems to have been
reserved for the Tribune We copy
brief extracts. Read them, and then
read the next issue of the Tribune:
1t is with some sorrow, to say the
least, yet not with entire disappoint-
men:, that the Reformers read the ex-
posure of Gov. Taylor; sorrow since
for two years he has been their leader,
whom they have honored and trusted
and with some anticipation, since for
some time they have feared that he
possessed a narrowness dishonorable to
a high executive at least. That Taylor
at first was an instrumentality in a
powerful reform his strongest enemies
will admit, and that the recent investi-
cations have shown him desrious of
petty theft and unworthy great trust,
his best friends will not deny. 1t was
not with the most sanguine feeling that
the True Republican gave him its sup
port last fall, but knowing his preten
tons to elevate the people against mo-
nopoly, and hoping that charges Of the
smallest kind of dishonesty were trump
ed up for political warfare, it, with
some reluctance, remained in his sup
port. Since the recent investigations,
there can be but one opinion-that he
has grossly deceived the men who sup
ported him, and fol- the sake Of private
gain has used his influence against
their interest. --Hudson True RppuJH-
can.
The result of the investigation is as
damaging to the late Governor as it is
humiliating to his friends, who honored
him far beyond his deserts in making
him their standard-bearer in two State
elections. 1t establishes beyond the
possibility of doubt the fact that. in
the long line Of worthless and merce-
nary incapables who have sat in the
gubernatorial chair Of this State, not
one was more utterl y unworthy of the
honor, either mentally or morally, than
the paltry hypocrite who adroitly man
aged to palm himself off upon the Re-
formers of Wisconsin as an embodi-
ment of principles with which he had
no sympathy, and the representative of
movement which was unfortunate in
nothing so much as in having been
duped into his support. Fond d~ Lac
Journal.
We favored William R. Taylor's first
and second nomination for governor !;
we gave his administration consistent
support, and we strongly approved Of
his official conduct OF the close of his
term. We now propose to speak lit
tie of the man in his last public appear
ance. He has turned out a scamp, or,
in the words of his own private secre-
tary, has ''prostrated himself to the
level of common thief This may
he severe language, but'it is too true.
