Cate made personal explanation in
which he complained of an injustice
done him by the presentation of the
Memorial of the Legislature of Wis

his right to occupy seat in the House

He read among other letters and doc
uments, to show the unfa;rness of the
Memorial an affidavit Of Richard
Relf of Douglas County to show that
large number of the votes cast for
DIR. McDill were cast by Chippewa
half-breeds who drew annuities, claim

MI. Gate Heard From.

The bogus representative in Con-
gress from this district has appeared
on the surface at last. One day last
week he introduced a resolution in
the house TO investigate the charges
made against Secretsry Bristow in the
the case of the bark Mary Merit.
The Secretary was promptly on hand
at the meeting Of the committee, and
asked that the investigation might be
pushed forward with all possible dis
patch. Who were to compose the COM
mittee he did not care but he desired
to have the investigation conducted
with open doors and not on any secret,
''star chamber" plan.
Then it was our Cate rose TO the
great occasion and objected to a pub
lie investigation. But though our
Cate went up like rocket he came
down like stick, for when it came to
vote only thirty democrats could be
found in the house that were mean
enough to vote with Mr.. Cate in favor
of secret investigation. TO put it
very mild we are heartily ashamed of
our representative. Offering the res
olution for the investigation of charges
publicly made, and then attem pting to
deny the officer to be investigated the
right to public examination is about as
mean and petty an outrage On common
decency as we have observed this many
a day. We are glad to note that not a
single member from Wisconsin, demo-
crat or republican, voted with Mr..
Gate in favor Of this one-horse inqui-
sition.
While this fever of investigation is
raging, if the house committee on
privileges and elections would only in
vestigate the right of Mr.. Cate to a
seat in Congress, and report the meth
cd by which they figure him majority
of votes in his district they will do
that gentleman a service and confer
upon his constituents favor they will
highly appreciate. There would be
some sense in an investigation of that
kind. 1t would show commendable
desire on the part of the reformers to
preserve the purity of the ballot box.
Mr. Cate would doabtles prefer to have
that investigation secret, also but no
investigation at all would suit him

lieve that the recent changes have been
made with an eye to the public good,
and whether they result in the election
of Mr.. Conkling to the presidency, or
shall in the end prove damaging to the

EVERY PUBLIC act Of President
Grant, and even those acts which are
entitled to the seal of privacy, are
most severely criticised by the opposi
ton press. Any deviation from line
of policy long followed any change
in the cabinet, or any appointment
.sforeign" or at home is looked upon
as the result of some clandestine move
ment on the part of the President to
further some personal end, rather than
to promote public interest. The re-
cent changes in the cabinet whereby
Hon. Edwards Pierrepont has been as
signed to the Court Of St. James,
Judge Taft to the Attorney Generals
office, and Donald Cameron to the war
department, are construed to mean a
preference by the President for Roscoe
Conkling as his successor and comp de
etat to further his nomination at Gin
cipnati, or 20 speak palmer, to force
Mr.. Conkling upon the convention and
compel that body to make him the
standard bearer Of the Republican
forces in the coming campaign. It
is alleged that the President is deter
mined to do something which will
drive Bristow out of the Cabinet, and
thereby weaken his chances for the
Presidency, and that the appointment
Of Cameron has been made with no
other end IN view. The opposition
has been gazing through its political
goggles so long that it sees 'nigger"
in every woodpile, and the faintest
shadow becomes hideous deformity.
Because Mr.. Cameron is a son of the
sold man." he is hooted and abused
as though he were the guiltiest wretch
on earth, and is declared to be totally
unfit for the position. Surely, because
he is the fruit of old Simon's loins it
ought to be prinaa facie, if not posi-
tive evidence that he is fully compe-
tent to 'srun" the war department.
We are aware that cold Simon in not
beloved by the opposition, but what
terrible deviltry he has been guilty of
that should bring down upon his old
white head the terrible anathemas of
the opposition press, we confess we are
at loss to determine and how the
charges spoken of are to operate spe-
cially to the success of Mr.. Conkling,
we are equally at loss to determine.
No president since " Washington, has
had so much to contend with has had
so many obstacles to overcome, and
enemies so vile and inslnuatlng, as
the present incumbent of the white
house. His every action has been

HAYES for President, in the National
Convention. He presented him in
these stirring words:
GENTLEMEN-On behalf of the forty.
four delegates from Ohio, represent
ing the entire Republican party OF
Ohio, have the honor to present to
this Convention the name of a gen.
tleman well known and favorably
known throughout the country; one
held in high respect, and much be-
loved, by the people of Ohio; a man
who, during the dark and stormy
days of the rebellion, when those
who are invincible in peace and in
visible in battle were uttering brave
words to cheer their neighbors on,
himself, in the forefront of battle,
followed his leaders and his flag until
the authority of our Government was
established from the lakes to the
Gulf, and from the river around to
the sea. A man who has had the
rare good fortune since the war was
over to be twice elected to Congress
from the district where he resided,
and subsequently the rarer fortune
of beating successively for the high
est Office in the gift of the people of
Ohio, Allen .. Thurman, George H.
Pendleton, and William Allen. Pro-
longed cheers. He is a gentleman
who has somehow fallen into the hab-
it of defeating Democratic aspirants
for the Presidency, and we in Ohio
all have a notion that from long ex-
perience he will be able to do it again.
Cheers. In presenting the name of
Governor Hayes, permit me to say
we wage no war upon the distin-
guished gentlemen whose names have
been mentioned here to-day. Cheers.
They have rendered great service to
their country, which entities them to
our respect and to our gratitude.

I have not enjoyed good health for
several years past, yet have not allowed
it to interfere with my labor. Every
one belonging to the labOring class
knows the Inconvenience of being OBJ
liged to labor when the body, from de-
bility, almost refuses to perform its daily
task. l never was believer in dosing
with medicines; but having heard the
VEGErINE spoken of so highly, was de-
termined to try it, and shall never regret
that determination. AS tonic (Which
every one needs at some time) it sur
passes anything ever heard of. 1t in
vigorates the whole system: it is a great
cleanser and purifier of the blood. There
are many of my acquaintances who have
taken it, and all unite in praise of its
satisfactory effect.
Especially among the aged class of
people, it imparts to them the one thing
most needful in old age-nights of calm,
sweet repOse. thereby strengthening the
mind as well as the body. One aged
lady, who has been suffering through
life from scrofula, and has become blind
from its effects, having tried many rem
edies with no favorable result, was in
duced by friends to try the VEGErINE
After taking few bottles, she obtained
such great relief that she expressed 4

able to look upon the man who had sent
her such blessing.
