Hon. Thad. C. Pound Nominated
for Congress.

The Republican congressional con-
vention for this district, met at Chip
pewa Falls, last Tuesday, and nomin-
ated Hon. Thad. c. Pound for member
of Congress. 1t was expected there
would be lively contest for the NOM
ination between Hon. T. B. Scott, of
Wood, and Hon Isaac Stephenson, of
Oconto, and Mr.. Pound but when
the delegates had assembled it was
soon apparent that the last named gen.
tie man was the choice of majority,
and that his nomination was foregone
conclusion.
Before the convention proceeded to
ballot, Mr.. SCOTS name was withdrawn
and the informal ballot stood "a for
Pound and II for Stephenson The
nomination was thereupon made unan-
imOus
The nominee is we'll known to the
people of Dunn county. He repre-
sented the assembly district, compris-
ing Dunn and Chippewa counties in
ga, '66, 81, and SO, and conceded
to be one of the ablest and most infu-
entail legislators in the state. He was
elected lieutenant governor for the
term 1901, and as president of the
Senate he proved an accomplished par
lamentarian and an excellent presiding
officer. In ability. tact and experience
his ways of legislation, Mr.. Pound
stands without rival in the Eighth
congressional district, and we firmly
believe that he will do more to ad-
vance the material interests of this
district, which have been neglected
too long alrcady-than any other avail
able man in the district.
1t is true the delegates from this
county were not in favor of Mr..
Pounds nomination, and cast their
votes for Mr.. Stephenson but as the
result shows that he was satisfactory
to delegates representing two-thirds of
the district the Republicans Of Dunn
will yield to the wishes of the MAORI
ty and extend to the nominee their
earnest support. That he will be elect
ed over Mr.. Cate by large majority
we have not the slightest Doubt
Dunn Go Newt.
The above is true in every sense OF
the word, and the voters of this dis
trict cannot do better than to vote for
the Hon. Thad C. Pound. As Judge
Cate says: "give US a change, we
want a change" and in this district
We will have change.

Newspapers at the Centennial.

The Special Correspondent of the
London Times says it would be difficult
to find an apter illustration of the big
way in which the Americans do things
than that furnished by the "Centen-
NAL Newspaper Building" in the Ex-
hibition grounds. Here you may see
any one, or, if you like, all of the
S,129 newspapers published regularly
in the United States, and see them,
one and all, for nothing! You are
not only permitted as a favor to see
them, but invited, nay, pressed, to
confer the favor of entering the build
ing and calling for what paper you
like. 1t is about as cool and agree

How is it?-Less than three months
ago. tie Cincinnati Enquirer, which is
now supporting Tllden and Hendricks,
contained the following objections to
Tilden's nomination. We give the
verbatum as they appeared in the En-
quirer.
Il, He cannot carry his own State in
November.
2, He cannot carry any Northern
State,
3. He is hypocrite, political swim
dler. has long been public plunderer,
and is really the only disreputable can
didate prominently naned on the Dem
ocratic side.
4 He has sought this high Office by
methods so unprccedently shameless
and dlsreputable that it would be an
everlasting stigma upon Democratic
convention to nominate him, and re-
proach upon the American people to
elect him if nominated"
These are harsh words ten
times more severe than any Republican
journal has ever used. They are re-
published in the Herald merely to
show what the leading Democratic
newspaper in Ohio thought of Mr.. Til
den two weeks before he was nominal
ed at St. Louis Chippewa Herald.

THE ALABAMA State Journal, has
the following concerning the way the
Bourbons managed it at the late cleo
ton in that State:
"Under the operation of the present
constitution Of Alabama, which to this
extent is peculiarly and exclusively
the work of Bourbon Democratic poll
ticians. every voter in this stateis fore
ed to cast his ballot in the precinct or
beat) in which he resides. In order
to crush out the large Republican ma
jorities in the "black belt" the demo-
cratic party possessed itself of all the
election machinery in three counties !;
they then appointed as managers of
election, those of their partizans who
would not hesitate or scruple to do any
act to advance the interests of their
party. The policy was in all the pre-
cincts where the government vote is
overwhelming, not to open the polling
places. The republican voters by
thousands. repaired to the polls on
Monday to cast their ballots. Hour
after hour passed and still the demo
cratic managers failed to put in an ap-
pesrance. The returning officers who
had the keys to the boxes also remain
ed hidden away. Democrats owning
houses at the place of polling closed
them up and left the scene to prevent
such republicans as understood how to
conduct elections, from opening any
polls Thus the thousands Of humble,
peaceful, law-abiding and Industrious
republican citizens, they who have till
ed this soil and made our bountiful
crops, were robbed of the right of cast
ing their ballots in an important state
election. And thus were overwhelm-
ing republican majorities overthrow
and democratic majorities returned
therefor

The man who is so conscious OF

The man who is so conscious of
the rectitudc of his intentions. as to
be willing to lay bare his bosom to the
inspection of the world, is in posses
sion of one of the strongest pillars of
decided character. Juch man
need not fear the scrutiny of the popu-
lar gaze, or the crucible of an investi-
CATION. Correspondingly true is this,
of the merits of the American Sewing
Machine. While it does not shrink
from the critical tests made by an in
telligent public, but courts the same,
it does not seek to build upon the
ruins of its unequaled competitors,
but simply asks all, who intend to pur-
chase, to examine its claims to popular
favor, and decide for themselves.

THE FOLLOWING will explain it
self. which we believe represents Cate
justly:
The term, ''fool Republican," used
by the Journal of last week, seems to
have grated very harshly upon the ear
of Mr.. Gates editor. We repeat that
any Republican who votes for Cate,
with the idea that when he gets to
Congress he is anything more or less
than a democrat, is fool. During
the session recently closed, Mr.. Cate
voted with the Rebel Colonel and
Brigadiers almost every time that a
party division was had. In some cases
he even out did the Democrats, for on
the motion to hold the Investigations
with open doors, only 80 Democrats
voted against it, and Cate WAS one of
them. Now, however, he is trying to
hoodwink the people into the belief
that he is neither a Republican or a
Democrat, but a Reformer. Return
him to Congress and he would again
vote with the Confederates, the same
as he did last winter.
would be.
