An Appeal 10 the Loyal.

If during the rebellion auy one
had proposed to turn over tho
affairs of the Government in o the
hands of those who were in SYM
patty with the rebellion they would
have been denounced as traitors and
putlic enemies. To-day a great
party proposes 10 do what in 1861 or
1864 world have aroused public in
dlgnation. 1t proposes to turn over
the Government to those who not
only sympathizsd With the rebellion,
but TO those who actually participat-
Ell in il, aud vino to-day hate the
Government az much Is they did
when they were forced to lay down
their arms a. Appomattox.
The ex~Confederates contrCl De-
me crazy, and if Democracy should
win they would control The nation.
There may De few men in the Dem
ocratic ranks. who mean well and
who would not follow if these ex.
rebel leaders should undertake to
carry on their schemes, but they are
in hopeless minority and could no
moro control the party or shape its
policy, if once in power, than a
penny whistle could drown the roar
of the tempest.
A solid South for Democracy
means the marshaling of the disloyal
element of that section against the
loyal North. There can be no
other meaning to it, and blind indeed
is the cit'zsn wh1 is I'D into any
other belief. A solid South, if trium.
plant, would lead to the deprecil-
tion of cur currency, the loss IF pub
lie credit, the increase Of the national
debt, the paralyzation of our indus
tries, and the eventful bankruptcy
through reputation, Of the nation.
If it is wise to confront dangers
when they como, it is greater wisdom
to take stops 10 prevent their COM
ing.
These steps can be taken By voting
tho Republican ticket. and we appeal
10 all who love their country better
than party to all whose reason has
not become the slave of prejudice ;
to all who value liberty above OPP
preston, and WHO have the good Of
mankind at heart, to vote the Re-
publ can ticket. The party to- day
is as great defense to the Union as
our armies were during the rebellion.
To destroy it would be even worse
than the .urrender of the Union
army would haze been to the rebel
Confederacy.

Take Your Choice.

If you want a man in the White
House who cheated the Government
by making a false return of his IN
come during the war, vote for
Samuel J. TiIden.
1T you want a man IS President
who has had more TO do with land
grants and railroad monopolies than
any other man living or dead, vote
for Samuel J. Tilden.
If you want man at the head of
the nation who had no sympathy
for the soldiers or for the cause he
fought for during the rebellion, vote
for Samuel j. Tilden
If you want a man to fill the high
est office within the gift of the people,
who was the bosom friend of Boss
Tweed, accepted his money for po-
litical purposes, and stood by him
more than year after his rascality
was known to the world, vote for
Samuel J. Tilden.
IT you want man as commander
in. chief of the army and navy of the
United States who believes in
secession, who still believes in the
Calhoun doctrine of States rights,
and who, if elected, would be the
fgure-head of Southern Democracy,
vote for Samuel J. Tilden.
If you want a SPECTATOR, mono
polist, a crafty unprincipled politi-
elan, who would use any means, fair
or foul, to promote his own selfish in
terests, vote for Samuel j. Tilden
Every man who believes in seces-
sion, who believes in reputation,
who favors the restoration of slavery,
if not iE its old form, at least by OPP
pressive legislation, who believes
that the white race has divine right
to abuse and outrage the black race,
who still clings to the shadow of the
lost cause, who still hates the National
Government, and who would gladly
rebel against it if any opportunity
offered, all such should vote for
Samuel J. Tilden.
They are his friends through right
and sympathy, and should support
him for the Presidency.
But if you want an honest man,
loyal and true in everything that
makes a good citizen and good Off
cial, a man that has proved his devo-
ton as a patriot and his ability as an
officer who will shed luster on his
country and win for himself, while
comforting justice on others, the graf
itude of his eountrymen, vote for
Rutherford B. Hayes. lie is noble
man and will make noble Presi-
dent.

C. K. Dean on the Rampage.
BoscoBEL, Wis, Oct. %, '76.

DOD0ObCAl " iSst wv. ~ot 80
EDITOR HERALD LII reading the
Advocate | noticed that one G Is,
Dean of this place has been making
some charges against the personal
character and integrity of our towns
man George G. Hazelton, the Re-
publican Candidate for Member of
Congress from this District. | have
also noticed several editorials in the
Argus which have the same ear-marks
and which | have no doubt emanated
from the same source. This man
Dean has been to several parties in
Boscobel and made similar charges,
but requested the parties not to say
anything about it. At home but
tile attention has been paid to what
he has said or might say, for the
reason that where he is known his
SANDERS can do no harm. But when
through the columns of the opposi-
ton papers he seeks wider fields in
which to publish his slanderous lies,
We deem it to be our duty to ac-
quaint the people generally with the
character Of this man who is seeking
to draw honorable men down into the
slime into which he himself has been
laundering for years. His life has
been such that to-day there is not a
man in Boscobel whom he can truth
fully c.,ll his friend. Ostracized from
respectable society on account of the
shameful life which he has led with
women of notorious character, he
lives the life of hermit alone and
uncared for, his only ambition seems
to be the traducing of character and
the propagation of scandal. The
oldest inhabitant can't remember Of
ever having heard him speak well of
a neighbor. This man Dean and Jim
Jones hunted in pairs until recently,
but when Dean sent Jones into Iowa
to collect evidence against Hazelton,
and Jones after being gone week,
came back and could only tell Dean
of what pretty girl he had seen
while he was away, Dean Indignantly
accused Jones of being crazy and
GOODNESS has sprung up between
these two disciples of reform. Jones
says that Dean is a coward and Dean
says that Jones is crazy, and as they
are so nearly correct in this one in
stance, the people are in hopes that
they are in earnest about reform, so
far at least as they are individually
concerned. l am engaged at present
in collecting items for short history
of this would be reformer OF late date,
and will try and have them ready by
next week. BosCOBEL.

intimately acquainted and more
closely connected with those who
though speaking with different
tongues and dressed in different
manner, nevertheless all alike con-
talning the same qualities of nature
developed in the different types of
Humanity.
But let US look in at Machinery
Hall, where we may see in actual
process of making many of the
articles exhibited IN the Main Build
ing. 1t is aeon and the miles of
Skating ana countless belts rest
from their llbors. At last we reach
the great CJrliss engine, the largest
in the world, and standing before it
gaze in wonder and amazemcnt at
its broad and solid foundation, i'm
! mense fly wheel with its powerful
arms, and contemplate with sort
of awe the general air of grandeur
which arrounds il. But now the
engineer steps upon the platform,
and with tu'n of the breke tie
great heart of Machinery Hall begins
to throb and before many minutes
have elapsed the whole building is in
motion. You feel when standing be-
fore this grand achievement of en-
ginoering skill, very much as that
person did who said that the power
of the Corliss engine was mex. to
the power Of the Almighty, and as
| you look around on the vast space of
running machinery are more than
ever impressed with the mechanical
skill and inventive geaius Ct man.
Not long since an Iowa Matchmaker
placed 8 miniature engine,
resting on q twenty five
cent gold piece and Weighing seven
grains, on the platform of the great
Corliss, and getting up steam by the
aid of lamp soon gave the crowd
an opportunity of seeing tho largest
and smallest engines of the world
work simultaneously.
Scattered through out the building
may be seen machines for the manu-
facturo of various articles, from the
making of paper, shoes, carpets,
| cloths and various textile fabrics, to
the delicate mechanism of the watch.
Side by sides are the implements of
peace and war The huge Krupp
gun, with its range of fifteen miles
and throwing cartridge of over one
thousand pounds weight, points to
the ambulances for carr ying the
dead and wounded off the field. But
the machines of war, for war nova
days is carried c n in great measure
by machinery occupy buta small place
compared with the machines used in
times of peace, indicating mans
appreciation of peace and happiness ::
| for although it IL we'll that man should
prepare for war and provide weap-
ons which will secure him peace, it
is in those things conducive to peace
and prosperity in which is tested the
power of his inventive genius. |
will not speak further Of the interest
ing features Of Machinery Hall, for
did space permit it would be utterly
impossible to describe the workings
of this great school of Mechanics.
| Nor yet can [ speak of the wonders
Of the Art Gallery, or the curiosities
of tho Government Building, or CT
the foreign booths and pavilions. For
how utterly impossible is it to des-
cribe the workings Of the kalisdeo-
scopa; how much more so to speak
Of the changing forms and varying
col0rs III this grand Kaleidoscope of
| the world. G A. Nj.

THE VALUE OF ONE VoTE The
close vote in Indiana shows the i'm
portance of getting out every vote.
A single vote may decide the fate of
a State. A full vote in the oil Free
States means Republican victory
every time. To fail to cast ballot
against Democracy in the coming
election will be little short of crime
on the part of the citizens. The
danger which threatens the nation
can only be averted by the faithful
performance of the duties of citizen
shin.
