Result I'm Dodge County.

Complete returns on the Presidential vote
are as follows: For Tilden 1892, Hayes
1882; majority for Tilden 1880. Total vote
e644, which, according to the usual manner
of computing population, one voter to every
six inhabitants, would give Dodge county
population of 57,864, or nearly 10000 more
than by the census of 1875-one YEAR ago.
The vote shows an increase as compared
with 1874 of 1908 Democratic and 500 Re-
publican votes. The whole Democratic
county ticket is elected by majorities from
1900 to 5000, the smallest majority being
for Williams as Senator. All districts elect
Democratic members of the Assembly, ex-
cept the third, which elects S. H. Shepard
by about 100 behind his ticket owing to
personal unpupularity in his own town,
that. instead of giving him 10 majority, as
It did Lawrence year ago, gave Cochrane

End of the CampaiCn.

1t is perfectly safe to say that the coun-
try is glad the campaign is over. Which
ever side has won the victory, there is a
feeling of relief. Those who compose its
non POLITICAL classes are tired and sick unto
death of it, The papers have been full of
politics for three months and more. 1t was
"all the talk and they are nauseated with
IL. Ihis class was never smaller, however,
than it has been this fall. The air has not
been rent with wild demonstrations and
outbursts Of enthusiasm; but it has been
surcharged with the electricity of popular
apprehension and expectancy. The strain
upon the nerves has been very great Both
parties have fought with an energy amount

was at work in his field, few days since,
when be was approached by two men, pre-
tending to be officers. These pretended
officers had by some means ascertared that
the farmer had quite sum of money in his
possession, and they stoutly maintained to
him that it was counterfeit and that they
had come to arrest him. The former at first
denied having any bad money but the
scoundrels, having their story all made up,
nonplussed the poor granger at every turn,
and finally asked him to let them have his
m oney and they would not serve the war
rant which they pretended to have with
them. After great deal of clustering talk
the money was passed into their possession,
and the farmer saw the desperadoes depart
with bis money, in bewildered and per-
picked state Of mind.

an imposing demonstration through the
streets to the church. So large was the
wd which had come to witness the ded-
ication thai nearly one-half was unable TO

and most imposing ever witnessed here.
Among the high dignitsries of the Catholic

Bishop Heiss was celebrant of the Mass, and
the dedication sermon was delivered BY

received with marked effect by the vast au-

Shooting at Oshkosh.

Friday OF last week Albert Lull, of Osh-
kosh, shot and severely wounded man
named Jacob Krall, with whom Lull had
some high words. Mr.. Lull had barn
burned some two or three weeks ago and
has had strong suspicious that it was the
work OF krall. Mr., Lull after the rnior-
tunate occurrence was lodged in Jail, and
was subsequently, admitted to bail in the
sum of $4,000 But Lull's friends have ad-
vised him TO remain in Jail for few days
longer until it is ascertained whether Krali 8
wound is to prove fatal, for fear the friends
OF Krall will attempt to do him violence
il they get hold of HIM now.
Mr.. Lull is quite we'll known to num-
Der OF our citizens, having resided here
some q years ago. His friends in Water
town are sansuine that he would never
commit the terrible deed he is charged with
without considerable prov ocation, and great
interes. is felt here over the result of the
Investigation.

Two Lonesome individuals,

1t seems that we made mistatement last
week when we said that there were 1894
Democratic applicants for The Watertown
Post Office. We are informed by one who
Is IN the field and ought TO know what he
is talking about, that there are absolutely
two Democratic voters in this city who
would not accept the appointment. The
REPUBLICAN,, always an earnest and consci-
entIous seeker after the truth, is glad to do
these two unsel6sh voters Justice by cor
rectlpg its mistatement. Be it remembered
therefore, that there are only 1892 gentle
men IN this city of Democratic proclivities
who are anxious to pledge their lives and
sacred honor to the service of their country
In the capacity of Postmaster. So mote it be.

Early Times and the GOSPEL,

AT a very early day Methodist clergy
man living at Aztalan, then larger place
than Watertown, desiring to spread the
gospel among t. &, heathens, appointed a
meeting at this place, and the settlers gen
orally turned out to hear him. At the con.
clusion of the sermon the minister gently
hlnted that air was very essential to his
existence, but that he could not live on ii
alone, Notwithstanding the fact that people
generally supposed he could. The hardy
pioneers took the hint and one Of their
number was appointed to pass around the
hat. After passing through the congrega-
ton the hat was capsized before the Lord s
servant and the contents displayed for his
inspection. Two, five, ten and twenty dol
lar bills met his astonished and enraptured
eyes. After the money had been safely de-
posted in his pocket, he conclu led that
Watertown was sadly in need of great
deal of missionary work, and thereupon
appointed weekly meetings here until fur
Their notice. Weeks passed but no minister
appeared, and it was supposed that he re-
tired from actual labor on the wildcat
money, worth about a cent on q dollar,
which the settlers had so beautifully be-
slowed on him.

An UnsvvervabIe Argnne

The strongest argument which can De
urged against the ACCESSIBILITY of admins
tering such corrosive and nerve-destruy ing
posons as arsenic and quinne for intermit-
tent and remttent fevers, is the vastly SUI
perior success, in the prevention and cure
such diseases, Of a medicine which is tibet
very antipode Of the above named drugs,
both in respect Of its composition and the
results wrought by it. such medicine is
Rostetters Stomach Bitters, purely vege-
table preparation which not only eradicates
with with wonderful promptitude every
trace of fever and ague, and kindred types
of malarious disease, from the system, but
is a certain preventive of all malades be-
gotten of miasma- tainted air and water.
These results mineral anti -febrlle remedies
do not effect with certainty, and their con-
tinued use entails consequences highly per-
contrary, not only afforo speedy relief but
establish health on permanent basis.

JUNEAU, Nov. 49, 876.
The past week has been one of great anxi-
ETY. 10 all, not only to the publicans, but
especially to the Democrats, who have an
eye to the Offices The number of Federal
offices hereabouts is but very small, but
the number of candidates may be counted
by the score.
Last "Wednesday evening, when the re-
turns indicated the election of Tiden, wit
messed gran. ration on the part Of
Of the Democrats Their faces in
Dictated supreme happiness but they length
ened considerably the next morning when
it was found that Mr. Tilden was not quite
elected yet. The Republicans generally
gave up all hope for Hay es, and his election
if really found to have taken place will be
an agreeable surprise to them
The election Of Shepard, the Repu blican
nominee for the Assembly by Ga majority,
was accomplished despite his unpopularty
in his town and the popularity of his oppo-
nent all oyer the district In his own town
he ran behind about 81, and in his oppo.
nents town about 40. The fact that Wau
pun gave him full straight vote, and that
Chester went Republican, accounts tor his
success. Mr.. Shepard will undoubtedly
prove an efficient and bard working legis-
lator. All the other members from this
county will reflect but little credit on
Dodge county.
Rev. Mr.. Street, of this place, who for
the past year has filled the Presbyterian
pu!pts here and at Horizon, leaves next
week to assume charge Of a parish at Fort

friends during his stay here who deeply re-
greet his departure. His place has not yet

This community has been in state of
feverish excitement the past week over the
Presidential uncertainty. Dispatches have
been received without number, some claim
ing the election of Hayes, others claiming the
election of Tiiden, and all claiming great
deal more han they had any authority for.
1t did seem few days ago as if every man
outside Of Watertown had made up
his mind to give US his opinion
by telegram as to who our next
President would be. For while some at
tention was given to the dispatches of these
men who so gratuously rendered US their
opinion on the all absorbing question. Most
OF the dispatches bore the significant letters
sd. H." on their lower left hand corner,
which indicated that the senders were dis
patching President into the White House
at remarkably small expense. All this
served to keep the public in an excited
state. The thing became monotonous after
while, however, and the people have at
last SO tiled down to tn conviction that the
official canvass alone will determine the
result, and we verify believe that tel
egraphic dispatch from the Ruler of the
Universe himself on the subject in question
would scarcely disturb the equilibrium of
the badly and muchly dispatched people of
Watertown.
