Mr.. CHARLES BEcKMAN, Demo

Mr.. CHARLES BECKMAN, Demo-
crat. was Mayor of this city one year.
He was an excellent and diligent off
Ger doing everything we'll. Bonds
were taken up and cancelled during
his administration. Democrat.
And at the end of his year he was
retired, of course, that being in accord
ance with Democratic usages. This is
addit onal proof of what we have all
along maintained, that whenever a
head with anything in it for good has
appeared, the Democratic rule has been
to bit it every time. The result of this
policy on the part OF the Democratic
managers, is the immense city debt of
to-day, which would have been wiped
cut years ago, had they oeen wise, and
availed themselves of the services of
men who were capable OF mastering
the situation, rather than pandering to
the whims of those narrow guaged
Democrats, who were losing sight of
the city while endeavoring to build up
their party.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1876-04-26

The charge OF the REPUBLICAN,
that the Democratic party is an enemy
to the prosperity of the city in which
It's members live, is false, ridiculous
and acknowledgements.
When We arraign "the Democratic
party" for treachery to the Peoples
movement, or for sacrificing the in
terest of the city for the benefit Of the
party, we do not, of course, include
that respectable and patriotic element
Of the organization who occupy indie
pendent ground. So when the Demo-
crat tries to make if appear that We
have said all democrats are "enemies
to the prosperity of the city, We
enter our protest and pronounce the
charge "false, ridiculous and malig-
nant." We are proud to acknowledge
that there are hundreds of democrats
here who attested at the late election,
as they have often shown before in
other contests, their devotion to the
best interests of the city, and their
disregard of party obligations when
they come in conflict with the public
vpal. For such we have the very
Bghest respect, and none but words
a commentator. We have in our
mind as we write many of our best
citizens, who though democrats, have
for years known no politics in local
elections, but sought only the elevation
d tie best men to Office. Our contro
sersy is not with them. 1t is with the
aamocratic-party neutrality-suspicious.
with the men who manipulate 1t fol
the sake of being elected supervisor OIL
constable, considering that matter O.
moro Importance than they do thu
choice of efficient and respectable Re
publicans to local Offices, who will dis
charge their duties we'll and faithfully
instead of unqualified and disreputabl
men of the opposite political faith, WIZ
will disgrace themselves, their position
and the city.

The Jefferson Banner is respectfully
and kindly informed that its statement
last week, that the result of the cleo
ton in this city last spring was claim
cd as Republican victory, is wilful,
deliberate. malignant, unprovoked and
contemplate Democratic lie. AS a
matter of fact the result was
not a triumph for any party, and
the contrary has never been claimed
by either side. 1t was an up
rising of the masses of good citizens
regardless of politics, on one side,
against corrupt administration
which by the way was Democratic
on the other; and the latter was buried
out of sight. It was an achievement,
the glory of which was shared equally
by Republicans and Democrats, and no
one here ever pretended anything else

that our neighbor was in an uncom-

support of their faith. One would
scarcely believe at this time that fanati-
cism or folly could carry any people to
the extent it did these Mormons. It is
susceptible of the strictest proof that
Smith, in an attempt s'to walk on
the WATER" got his foot off the plank
just below the surface for him to
walk on, and went all over
into the creek. The saints rushed
in to his rescue, concealed the plank,
or tried to, and laid his failure to q
want of faith. He once undertook the
practical operation of casting out the
devil, and devil of a time they had.
The facts in this attempt exceed all fic-
tion. Let me state them Just as they
were stated to me by an eyewitness,
Dewitt Miller, now living in Willough-
by, U.
The effort was made in a log school
house in the aboye-named town adjoin-
ing Kirkland, and long, lathy, big,
open-mouthed fellow by the name Of
Ichabod Crandall, who had never found
wonder too big for him to swallow,
was selected as the victim to have the
devil cast out of. Smith preached a
preparatory sermon explaining the pro-
cess of casting out and the divine nature
of the power he proposed to use for
that purpose. The meeting had been
appointed for the purpose Of showing
this divine power. After the sermon
the benches were all set back to the
walls and ring of the faithful was
formed in the center, all on their knees
and facing inward, with Smith and
Crandall in the circle, Crandall lying
flat on his belly and making the most
unearthly groaning. Smith then said
he should issue orders for the devil to
come out. The first would be mild and
persuasive, the second imperative, and
the third such that the devil couldn't
stay away any longer.
These orders he proceeded in gruff,
loud voice to give, and with the exact
effect prescribed. The devil came out
at the last call. But instead of coming
from Crandall he came from grain
sack held by this same man Denton, at
the corner of the old stone chimney,
and was nothing more nor less than q
big black cat. The cat, finding itself
in strange place, set up great cater
wauling; this brought o yelp from sew
eral dogs and shout from twice as
many boys. The cat, and the dogs after
it, went round the room as though the
devil was indeed after both, when the
door was opened and the cat and dogs
went out and the boys after. The cat
was treed, the tree cut down, and the
cat killed.
/ give this as one of the actual cir
cumstances that took place at the time
of the Mormon residence in Kirkland,
and the statement can to-day be verified
as the truth by witnesses now living in
Willoughby, Ohio.

A French Officer Killed and Eaten BY
CannibalS.

The Paris journals having announced
that an infantry officer had been killed
and eaten in New Caledonia by native
chief named Pondi- Patchouni, the
Steele gives the following particulars Of
this and q somewhat Kindred affair:
The military commandant, tired Of
ceaselessly pursuing this Pondi without
being able to capture him, returned to
his headquarters, leaving at the theater
of hostilities the captain of infantry
marines, M. Mairet, in command of an
expeditionary corps. A few years ago
a circumstance strikingly similar occur
red which is worthy of relating. A war
broke out on the coast of Poeba against
a native chief named Condor, whom
the authorities could notsucceed in SUBJ
DUNG. The commandant of an expe-
dition, the lieutenant of marine infan-
try, M. Tounot, was informed one day
that Condor had dared to approach
within a days march of his (Tounot's)
camp. The commandant determined
to capture or kill the daring chief, and
took with him three faithful native al
lies, marching upon the enemy
and making his calculations to ar
rive about midnight at the camp OF
the rebel chief. The expedition of the
courageous little band was successful
beyond all hope. Condor, surprised
id his hut, was instantly killed, and his
warriors, terrified by the nocturnal at
tack, dispersed in all directions, but at
forwards came and delivered them
selves up to the authorities. The war,
which had lasted year, was thus
terminated, thanks to the daring ol
Capt. Tounot, whose name is to-day
celebrated throughout New Caledonia.
Capt. Mairet was ambitious to perform
a second edition of this exploit. He
hoped to surprise Pondi-P Patchouni, and
departed with two Kanakas to capture
him, leaving the command Of his mer
to lieutenant. Since then he has mo-
been heard from, and it is feared tha
bad luck has befallen him. II he j,
safe a prisoner, it would be the frs
time that the Kanakas had captured ,
victim and not killed and eaten him
All Noumea and New Caledonia is ex
cited, and an expedition is on foot Il
avenge Capt. Mairet and capture tn
cannibal chief.
