WHEELER AND THE SOUTH.


For some time, at the outset OF ths
campaign, Chandler and the, leading
Republican managers were much dtssat
isfied with Wheeler, their candidate fol
Vice-Presldent. They said he did net
come up to the standard Of the hour. was
too squeamish, and neither in his letter
OF acceptance, nor since, had he planted
himself squarely enough on the platform
Of the bloody-shirt. They said that this
was no time for compromises or com.
promise men, and that recent events
made 1t plain that the author Of the
Wheeler compromise had no business
on the ticket. They wanted bold man
Tor bold campsign-some one who
would charge always, and keep theseue-

fitzpatrick worth dozen Wheelers, and

ABOUT DAGGETT's ELIGIBILITY. -
The Eureka Sentinel Is anxious to be
satisfied of the eligibility of Mr.. r. NJ.
Daggett, one Of the Republican Elec-
tors. We will state for the benefit of
the Sentinel's peace of mind that Mr..
Daggett resigned the Office of U. S.
District Court Clerk prior to the cleo
ton; that he was quite as eligible on
that day as any man in all this Repub-
lie; and that his successor, Mr.. Nc
Lain, has been appointed and has
qualified. He is quite as eligible as
Colonel Blennerhasset or Colonel Ellis
or any other survivor Of the Lost
Cause, and good deal more effectu-
ally elected than either of those de-
luded Southern brethren.
