Being subscriber OF the ANTI-MONOP-
OLIsT, take the liberty OF writing few
lines to you from this pant Of the State
l am glad to see so many copies of the
ANTI -MONOPoLIsT taken in Fountain,
which | hope will increase during 1876
In my opinion it is the only paper in the
State which works Tor the interest of the
farmer and taxpayer. | have just read
over the messages OF the outgoing and
incoming governors, and in relation to
the old railroad bond question they give
considerable space. | have talked to a
great many of the taxpayers of this
town in relation to the matter. and find
them all agreed in the matter with your
editorial exactly Let those bond-hold-
ers make their proposition to the peo-
pie |. for one, am in favor OF letting
those hond-holders make their PROPOSE
ton before the people should take any
further steps in the matter see by a
late copy of the Pioneer-Press that the
Baptist Convention has investigated the
bond question and come to the conclu-
sion that they are a legal and moral
obligation, and should be paid, principal
aud interest They don't say anything
in relation to how those bonds We're OBJ
tanned Let those bond holders make
their proposition to the people before
the taxpayers move further in the mat
ter.

Ministerial Changes.

Rev. W. Fl Window, for the past two
years pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church of this city is succeeded by Rev. E,
A. Wanless, who has had charge OF the
Methodist church at Waterloo Rev Mr..
Window has been appointed by the Confer
ence to the charge of the Methodist church
at Shopiere, Wisconsin. Our citizens gem
orally will regret parting with Rev. Mr..
Window, who has proved himself not only
faithful and Jealous minister in Christ's
service, but gentleman of agreeable social
qualities. He and his family carry to their
new home our best wishes for their future
happiness and prosperity.
In the appointment of Mr.. Wanless, the
church at Watertown has been fortunate as
he is gentleman of fine ability, and brings
to the aid of his church work an extensive
knowledge procured by travel and observa-
ton abroad, having been for some years, we
believe, missionary IN India.
Rev. G.. S. Hubbs, after having charge of
the Methodist church at Beloit for two
years, has been appointed by the Conference
to the charge of the Methodist church at

Dodge County Ticket.

At their Convention held at Juneau last
Thursday the Republicans of Dodge nomi-
mated the following excellent county ticket:
State Senator-E G. McFetridge, Beaver
Dam.
Sherif-G. H. Lawrence, Burnett
Treasurer-R. Sauerhering, Mayville.
Regsster-Joseph Miller, Calamus.
Clerk of Court-W. T. Rambusch. juneau
County Clerk-John Reid, Ashippun.
District Attorney-H. W Frost, Waupun.
SarUeyor-Judson Prentice, Watertown.
Coroner--A. Fisher Lowell.
stronger ticket could not possibly have
been made, nor one better deserving the
support of not only the Republicans of the
county, but all who, setting aside party
feeling, would see the Offices filed by hon.
est, capable and efficient men. That this
ticket comprising such popular names will
call to its aid a strong vote in Novem-
Der admits of no doubt.

Gen. Bragg on the Stump.

1t is no wonder that Bragg's Dodge county
mass meeting at Juneau last Thursday was
| failure, and that instead of an audience of
5000 democratic yeomanry, there was
scarcely 200 disconsoate Tildenites present.
The fact is General Bragg has been always
under cloud. His first great offence as a
democrat was when he accepted a nomina-
ton for Congress from the Republicans
against Charles A. Eldridge, whom the
Democrats worshiped in those DAYS. OF
course, in this contest Bragg was buried
out of sight by his Democratic friends. 1t
is still fresh in the memory of everybody
how all the Democratic members of the
legislature OF 1876 deserted General Bragg,
OF "lron Brigade" fame, as candidate for
United States Senator, and voted in a BODY
for even so rabid Republican as Angus
Cameron. This stab in the house of his
friends caused great chagrin to the General
and he went to calling democrats hard
names until his audacity reached such a
point that he called William R TAYLOR. the
Democratc-Ref Governor of Wisconsin
an egregious old ass" and wholly unfr
for the office he held, much less for re-
election. This Bragg said at the Plankiu.
ton house meeting, and has never denied
IT, out SO far recovered himself during the
canvass OF last year as to make few
speeches in favor Of this "egreeious old ASS
although what he said had no weipht in the
campaign, all the listeners considering
where the utterances came from, like the
man when kicked over by the long cared
animal. In 1866 General Bragg was called
into service in this county to aid, princi
pally in the election of the Democratic can
didate for County Treasurer, and made one
speech at Rome. The result was the cleo
ton of the Republican candidate for Treas
urer, Mr. Edmund Sweeney, the verv man
Srags sought to ''spot," and the balance Of
the Republican candidates were beaten bv
only small vote. 1t has ever since been y
source of deep regret to the Republicans
that Bragg did not speak at some othe,
points beside Rome. A few more speecbes
by Bragg would undoubtedly have elected
the whole Republican county ticket at that
time. We are glad, therefore, to learn that
General Bragg has consented to speak at
least once in this city during the present
campaign, and will address the democracy
OF Waterfowl next Monday evening. The
great effort of his life will be in s:shakine
bands across the bloody chasm" with
Major Charles H. Gardner. 1t is exrect-
ed on the occasion there will be happy
blending OF the "blue and tie gray" and
so finely drawn out will be these colors thai
their identity will be lost in the great strife
fer "Tllden, Reform and the Offices"

4 Democratic FiZZle.

All ere agreed that the Democrat mass
meeting at Juneau last Thursday afternoon
was miserable 6zzle. For nearly three
weeks the meeting was extensively adver-
tised and great preparations were made by
the Democratic brethren for the reception
and care of the faithful Tildenites. To in
sure crowd the meeting was called on the
afternoon Of the last day of the Dodge
County Fair but even this device did not
work, the masses preferring to look over
stock and see horse racing rather than
fraud for the Presidency as Sam. J. T:lden.
Among the many advertised speak ers, Just
one put in an appearance, General Bragg,
the candidate for Congress from the 9Th
district who harangued the corporars guard
before him in a melancholy sort Of way for
the space of an hour or so. During his
speech Bragg looked rather sheepish as he
was addressing the friends and admirers of
Sam Burchard, who on all principles of fair
play and party usages, was entitled to the
nomination instead of himself Bragg. J
Besides all this the paliry few before him
chagrined him, and no wonder he felt down
in the mouth and left for Fond du Lac
rather unceremop iously on the frat train
from Jrseau. There was no crowd, nc en-
thusiasm, snd, rest assured, there were no
votes made for Tilden and Reform BY the
operation. Judge 5lsan, although an
nounced to be present, gave the thing the
cold shoulder. Whatever may be said of
the rest Of the district, one thing
is certain Dodge county does not enthuse

atertown at Annapolis.

The examination of Master Albert Smith,
of this city, at the Naval Academy at An
napolls, Maryland, and his admission into
that institution as cadet engineer, deserves
more than a passing notice. Young Smith
is considerably under twenty, and is a
graduate of the Watertown High School,
Prof. Theodore Bernhard, Principal. He
left our High School a few months since,
with serious doubts az to his success before
the Board OF Examiners at Annapolis, and
the result is most fattering 10 Albert as
we'll as to the course of study he has pur-
sued here. There were three hundred ap-
plicants for examination, and out of 80 ex-
amined for cadet engineers, only Is were
accepted, Albert Smith standing 9Th in the
list This makes two naval cadets now at
Annapolis from Watertown, the other bein g
Percy Werlich, cadet midshipman. Both
are graduates of Watertown High School, a
fact that rejects credit on the educational
advantages possessed by our public schools.
