Or ALL THE hummer species who
hold an Office under Grant, II. B.
Philleo, editor of the Wood County
Reporter is the worst specimen. Any
man who abuses his betters, as he is
abusing Judge Cate is a disgrace to
the editorial fraternity. And we have
always noticed one thing, that the
man who commences to cry theft, ras-
cal, imbecile, and the like, generally
turns out to be the worst man in the
cummUnity, and is only trying to Gov
err up his own rascalities by drawing
the attention Of the public to some in
nocent person We do not say that
H. B. Philleo is dishonest, which we
want distinctly understood, but he is a
Granite office holder, and that is
enough. -Shawano Jourhat

the pocket book occasioned by lack
of official pap, he must Of necessity
writhe with inward gripIngs, He was
struggling with reform tape worn
when he penned the above, that had
seized him in the region of the naval,
and we judge that DR.. Cate had utter
ly failed to grant him relief Now we
love Loomer; he's as iorable a reform
er as we ever laid eyes on, and if he
could only keep his reform bowels
open and exercise IN good pun repub-
lican atmosphere we are inclined to
believe that his obituary might be de-
layed several years Bro Loomer
says: eve have always noticed that
the man who commences to cry theft,
rascal, imbecile, and the like generally
turns out to be the worst man in the
community" Now as Bro Loomer
has commenced" the only logical de
duction is that Loomer IS the man the
Shawano people need to look after.
We advise them to either kill their
spring chickens or lock up the roost,
and We merchants look well to your
till locks, and We maidens and mothers
in-law, look out for your clothes lines,
and We little boys pocket your marbles
when you see Loomer loose, and on
the reform war path. IF Loomer
could manage to sleep with Cate a cou-
pie Of nights or so, and catch little
reform puri ty we think it would do
both Cate and Loomer good. Cate
has little too much political purity
for one, and not quite enough for two,
but spoonful or SO would help Loom
er wonderfully Since that big tax
list and a Centennial trip we look for
more quiet tape worm, and consequent
ly less belley ache in the feshy tab
arnecle of Loomer. Come down and
see US Loomer and see our s'pile" that
we have stolen out of the Revenue. .
We expect every day that Cate will be
investigating US.

Democratic Perfdy.

WHEN Republican newspaper or
orator tells you that the Democratic
standard bearer drafted resolutions
declaring the war for the Onion a
failure, or that he sympathized with
the South in its efforts to overthrow
the government, nail it as lie. The
simple truth IS, as stated in the Bur
lington Gazette, that during the re-
bellion Governor Tilden armed and
equipped, by money taken from his
own private purse, four companies
of New York volunteer soldiers
I35baue.
The effort Of the Tribune to impress
upon the minds of its readers the un-
truth. that Sam. J. Tilden did not
sympathize with the south in its efforts
to overthrow the government, will
prore aborsive. The recogd is inim-
peachable, the shameful fact cannot be
gainsaid. The Chicago Times and in
fact every Democratic paper of any
prom inence have upon their files the
damning record Of S j Tilden during
the rebellion, and it is no pleasing
record; it is one of perfdy and black
est treason. 1t shows him to be not
only a demagogue, sycophant, a cold
blooded usurper Of the rights Of the
people and the nation, but traitor in
the broadcast meaning of that term.
The statement that Mr.. Tilden
earned and equipped by money taken
from his own private purse, four COM
panies Of New York Volunteer sol
diers' is an assertion that defes proof.
and nothing on record in the great
state of New York, or in the clearest
understanding of one of it's citizens
can substantiate the statement. We
clip the following compilation of docu-
mentary and other facts from the Wau-
paca H6pQOhc0n.
They present clearly the status of
the two opposing candidates, and most
unequivocally point to Mr.. Tilden as
the enemy Of Union and the friend of
and sympathizer with rebellion

The recollections Of the feelings which
were entertained towards the Valland-
ighams Of the war have not all died
out. The feeling cannot be as hot
now as it was then, but it ought to be
as deep. Twelve years ago We recog-

the front, and those at the rear who
were declaring the war failure. At

THE CHIPPEWA Herald takes eX-
ceptiyn to our article on The Con
gressional Nomination, +" in a recent
issue, and accuses the Republicans OF
this ''section" Of "a sort Of selfish
ness. If Bro. Ginty SO considers
the republicans this side the Ridge, .
he greatly undertakes them, and does
them injustice We wished only to
impress upon the convention the fact
that it will be necessary to put upon
the ticket the strongest man as the
competitor Of MIR. Cate, whose style
of electioneering is too well known to
require comment at our hands We
believed then, and do still believe that
MIR. Cate will find in Mr. Scott the
most formidable opponent the district
can present. When the Herald says
that our article ''is in fact, a confess
sion-a public notice-that unless a
candidate from the Wisconsin river is
nominated-a great many republicans
over there will vote for Mr.. Cate sim.
ply because he resides in that portion
of the district" that journal beHttles
itself, and reveals a meaner spirit than
we had ever been led to believe it pos
sessed. We are ready to assert that
if Mr. Pound shall receive the nomin-
alton at the forthcoming convention,
he will receive the hearty support Of
the republicans of the eastern portion
of the district. Mr.. Ginty's assertions
to the contrary Notwithstanding. We
are not so sselfsh" as Mr. Glnty sup
poses. The republicans of this sec
ton" would be as hearty in their sup
port of a candidate even from Ashland
as for Mr. Scott, if so it could be made
to appear that such candidate could
unite the full republican strength OF
the district, and Geo. G. Ginty knows

"Resolued, That this convention

the American people, that, AFTER
FOUR YEARS OF FAILURE to
restore the Union by the experiment
of war,--during which, under the pre-
tense of military necessity or wal
power higher than the Constitution,
itself has been disregarded in every

practicable moment peace may Re re-
stored to the basis of the Federal
States 1t has been said that Mr.
Tilden objected to this resolution, in
the committee. This is altogether
doubtful, as will be seen by Mr.. Til
den's remarks in the Convention.
These are taken from the Chicago
Times report Of the Convention, pub
lished at the time:
Mr.. Tilden said.
The General Committee on the sub
ject of resolutions were in session until
very late hour last night. 1t con
Guided It's labors by referring the sub

Committee have been in session this
morning, and are approximating an
agreement upon all the matters before
them. Mr.. YalIendigham, | under

that we can [ think Gov. Weller,

ting these papers into shape could not
be entirely completed by 4 o'clock.
This paints the great Reformer
squarely Oh the peace plank of the
1864 Democratic platform. To fnr-
Their show how he stood, this story is
told.
Early in the War young man Of
exceIlant family and superior attain
ments was DESTROYS Of raising a COM
pany. He waited upon Mr.. Tilden,
with whom he had an acquaintance.
and asked him to give him a letter of
recommendation to certain State officials.
Mr.. Tilden's reply was as follows:
Young man. you need not come to
me for any such recommendation; THIS
WAR Is AN OUTRAGE, AND l WILL
LEND NO ASSISTANCE WHATEVER TO
IT'S PROSECUTION"

tudes. The wealth of the mines 10 praeti-.
cally incompatible, while still greater
wealth is to be found in the culture of sugar,
coffee, tobacco and fibre, with great num-
Der OF lesser tropical products Of rarity and
great value.
To place capital in Mexico, or to even
apply ones energies, except IN rare cases.
in her present condition, is the height of
folly, for whatever may be ones success, bis
money, stock, or IN fact anything he may
possess, is liable anyGay to be seized for mil
itary uses BY some irresponsible faction Nor,
excepting at short intervals, have matters
been better since the reign of the viceroys.
Nor can it be better, for the reasons before
giver, residing in the character OF the people
themselves, SO long as the affairs OF the conn
try are left in their own hands. Aud for this
reason all plans for reor9anizing aud putting
to rights this coun!ry, through or by means
OF these people themselves, will certainly
end in miserable failure, and just here rests
the fault of all the various schemes of sub
sides, temporary prOteotOrates and foreign
rule, ha'ched from time to tire during the
past half century. No people understood
this better than the cultivated people of
Mexico themselves, and they discuss THEN
misf0rtunes with the greatest piainness and
freedom. Many have told me they would
willingly give half their possessions for
ample security for the rest, and would then
be much richer than now, and have not
doubt but the entire body of large proprie
tors in Mexico would gladly give half their
estates to a power thar, to uso Mexican
expression, should bcne.fciate the remainder
by secure and stable government.
These facts, in connection with the Mon
roe doctrine, now thoroughly understood
and pretty well acknowledged the world
over, reduces the question 0. Mexico's flu
ture to a single conclusion, and the writer
does not doubt for a moment that Mexico
must ultimately be completely absorbed by
the United States, as natural. necessary
and inevitable. Nothing short OF it will
meet more than temporary want; nor
need this be contemplated with humilia-
ton or regret by the Mexicans themselves.
California and Texas are examples with
their immense strides forward. In both
those States good Mexicans have gone
ahead, as in the case Of the present Lieu
tenant Governor aud one Of the judges of
the Supreme Court of California, because
they were good men. Bad men will fall
because they are bad, and not because
they are Mexicans. This event will and
should come about more from natural than
from political causes, the State following
rather than leading in the movement. In
the meantime, the spirit of irresponsible
tilibustering in our own country should
Eeet only with condemn alton.
