A MERITED REBUKE.-Thc election
in this Congressional district has dem
onstrated that personal abuse of can.
didates, in the columns of a newspaper
is not productive of any good to the
one intended to be benefited, nor dam
aging 20 the party assailed.
In Dunn county, the Menominee
Times. new ReformC?)journal just
started there, kept its columns at "A
red hot heat with contemplate slurs
on Gov. Pound, and the Republicans.
What is the result? That county goes
against the Democrats by one thousand
majority-three hundred more than
ever before.
In Wood County, the Tribune de-
scends to the lowest, dirtiest work, and
attacked Pound in a shameless and
reckless manner And what is the
result there? Cate only receives 126
majority, where he expected 800; the
entire county ticket is defeated in a
county that gives Tilden a majority,
and among the worst beaten is j. n.
Brundage, the Tribune proprietor, who
was running for County Clerk !
In Shawano county, the Journal
columns were filled with slurs on
Pound. lie was resident of Chi
cago," "a bankrupt" ga dishonest
man., etc. Well, what has happened
here? The county, which was conce-
ded 400 for Cate, only gives 26S, the
Journal editor is defeated for the As
sembly in usually large democratic
district. and nearly all of his pets were
numerically Shattered?
And pretty much the same results
occurred in Portage county. where the
''Pihery'' was loaded with personal
attacks on Gates competitor
There is moral to all this which
we commend to these newspapers, and
it is this: it don't pay to be ungeatle-
, manly in conducting political news
paper. The voters despise any one who
will resort to personalities in canvass.
and invariably express their condem-
nation at the polls.
Don't forget that. - Chippeca

The popular Majority.

Hayes has carried by free vote ali
the states which stood by the Union
during the war excepting four. Til
den has carried all the rebellious states
through fraud and terror. excepting
three. In the Northern states Hayes
has 166 electoral votes and Tilden but
60, On the popular vote in the North
ern states, Hayes has majority of
over $50, 600. The state of Iowa
alone gives Hayes more majority than
all the Democratic states give Tilden.
In his Is Northern states, the MAORI
ty foots up 308,4 32 In his 4 North
ern states, Tilden's majority foots up
90, Alb. Following are the figures:

The Situation.


There has been no material change
IN the aspect Of the Presidential quss-
ton since our last issue. The canvass
IS progressing slowly in Louisiana
while five representatives from each Of
the great political parties look on to
see that neither Tilden nor HAYES is
bull dozed out of an honest count
Thus far the canvass has pro ceeded
without disturbance with a very favor
able outlook for the Republican candi-
date. In the non-contested parishes
Hayes has 9,274 majority which will
be diminished, but not sufficiently to
lose the state to the Republicans when
the contested parishes shall have been
counted, many of which will be thrown
out as prescribed by the state constitu-
ton when clear proof is shown that
intimidation has been practiced. Loui-
siana is without doubt strongly repub-
lican, and her electoral vote will be
cast for Hayes and Wheeler 1t is re-
ported that 100000 has been offered
TO two of the board as bride to de-
clare the state for Tilden but in all
probability this will prove to be only
rumor.
Florida is certainly Republican.
The republican majority conceding all
the democrats claim will be over 700,
small, but sufficient to insure her cleo
toral vote to the Republican ticket.
South Carolina is all right. The
Supreme Court Judges assume to
represent the Court of Heaven rather
than the Supreme Court of the
State, which would be cheering intel
ligence if it could be believed, but as
they themselves declare it, and bring
toward no coroboratiYe testimony, their
claim will have to be taken with deal
Of allowance. The Court issued an
order to the canvassing Board prohib-
iting it from performing other
than ministerial functions, but the
Board performed its duties as required
by statute, throwing out the counties
Of Edgefeld and Laurnes where rio-
lence had been rcsorted to by the dem
ocrats, thus giving the state to Hayes
and Chamberlain. With these Coun-
ties counted it is alleged the state
would have gone for Hayes and Hamp-
ton. The Court has fined the mem
bers of the Board $1,000 each and
ordered their arrest.
The evidence adduced in Louisiana
to show the extent of intimidation and
violence is narrowing, and touches the
hearts of even northern democrats who
are beginning to believe that the bloody
shirt is not all myth. The fact is
becoming more and more apparent
that the three ''doubtful states" have
gone for Hayes and Wheeler which Sc
cures 1S5 votes in the electoral college,
a majority of one.
What the action of the Democracy
will be in congress can anly be conJec-
tured. Every effort possible will be
made to corrupt one or more of the
Republican Election, or by stratagem
to throw the election into the House.
We veritably believe all their schemes
will, and that r. B. HAYES will be
declared elected, and inauguraced
March 18th.
