Hon. Sam S. Fifield.

We do not believe a man can be
found in the district who is as well
calculated to represent the people
of this district in the Senate as
Hon. Sam S. Fltield; that is, one
who Is SO well acquainted with the
people Of every portion of the dis
trict and one who will so thoroughly
understand and appreciate any leg
islation needed by any particular
portion. Mr.. Flfeld lived for
years Tin fact grew up) in the agri-
cultural portion of the district
the lovely and fertile ST. Croix Val
ley, and has large acquaintance in
that region and is thoroughly con-
versant with the legislative wants
of the Valley. This also is true in
regard to the Lake Superior re zion,
where Mr.. Fifeld has resided for
several years past, and for which he
has done much in the way of max
ing known to the world our many
attractions and magnificent re-
sources. Add to these his great
popularity and extensive acquaint-
ance throughout the State, and the
prestige of former experience as a
Legislator, and we have a man who
will be power for the district in
the Senate. Above all, Mr.. Fifield
is emphatically man of the people
-approachable at all times and
places by the humblest of his con.
stituents. He should receive every
vote in Douglas County, and if our
people sre alive to their best inter
ests, they will give hin. their hearty
and unanimous support.

Judge Cate Denies the Sight Of Half
Breeds to Vote.

In recent speech at Menomonee,
Judge Cate, candidate for Congress
from this district, took occasion
to complain that he had been perse-
cuted by the Republican press be-
cause he had retained his seat in
Congress when the true returns
showed that DIR. McDill received a
majority of the votes cast for chat
Office.
AS reason for holding his seat,
Judge Cate stated that more than
200 votes were cast for McDill in
Ashland, Bayfield, and Douglas
Counties, by Chippewa Halt-breeds
"a class of persons not entitled to
vote-and that without these votes
be had a majority over McDiIl.
Therefore he considered himself
justified in holding on.
Let our Half breed friends make
a note of this.

Jim and Tom Richie, Geo. Hol-

Jim and Tom Richie, Geo. Hol-
comb and enc or two others, is in
terested-no matter how much he
and his friends may deny it, in
keeping the price of county orders
as low as possible. Consequently,
If the laboring men and the voters
of this county ever expect to see
our county finances improved and
county orders worth dollar for dol
lar, they must keep such men out Of
power.
The office of County Treasurer is
an important one; one which should
be held by man whose reputation
for b nesty is untarnished; who il
engaged in no other business, and
who would consequently attend
strictly to the business of the office
and be without the temptation, fur
thermore, to use the couniy's money
in carrying on his own business
as treasurers OF this county have
been known to do. And that mer
/ can be found who would fulfil
the conditions we have named, we
have no doubt. In fact, we already
have Two such men in our mind.
Ieye-A. e. Brown or James Syer
either one of whom, if he could be
nominated End elected, would, as ,
County Treasurer, be all that thu
people could desire.
AS for Mr.. Cournoyer, he is +:
sgood fellow" but incapable o
transacting the intricate business o
the County Clerks office, and shoult
be superseded by more capable
| man.

County Politics.

and already the various wire-pullers
have commenced making up their
States, while candidates for the
various county offices loom up nu.
merously. For the office of Sheriff
there are no less than FIVE candi.
dates, while for the various other
offices there are at least two OF
three candidates tor every position.
AS general thing, the candidates
are good men, whose election will
do credit to the county. The onl,
candidates for reelection to the
same Offices, we believe, are County
Treasurer Bardon and County Clerk
Cournoyer. Now, We can consci
entioosly say that we have not the
least bit of personal feeling agains,
either of these candidates; hence.
when we say that we think me,
can be found who are better auali.
fed to hold the offices named than
they are, we only do so from a sense
of duty. In the case of Mr.. Bar
don, 1t is tact we'll known in this
county, and one which is almost
universally admitted, that he has
not conducted the affairs Of the
County Treasurer's Office, during
the past year, in strictly honest
manner; and that, furthermore, be
has not attended very closely 10 the
duties of the Office, having been alb
sent from the county most of the
time, his business being of that
character that it keeps him travelling
a great deal of the time. More
over, Mr.. Bardon is a tax-agent, and

A PALACE OF ART.
Masterpieces In the Gallery of John Taylor
Johnston-A Turner by Auction.

From ne Rochester Democrat AID Chronicle
John Taylor Johnston inherited. accord
ing to report, two millions from his father, and
II may therefore be said that he started In life
under very favorable circumstances. Mr.. John
ston had naturally fine taste for books ana pic
lures. which he has cultivated In very remark
able manner. He built palatial residence OF
white marble corner Of Fifth avenue and Ninth
street. and here he erected a picture gallery
which he filed with the finest works OF Amer-
can and foreign art. The gem OF this gallery Ia
the "Slave Ship" which Is considered one OF
Turner's best works. Mr. Johnston paid ESQ 600
for this masterpiece, which is the only picture
Of this artist that this city has ever seen, except
those In the Lenox gallery. These, Of course,
are buried from the public view. Only n very
few OF the small circle whom Mr. Lenox admits
TO his acquaintance have been permitted to enter
his art gallery. Mr. Church, the famous landscape
painter, mentioned II to me as point of
special distinction that he had been invited
thither and a still more important recognition
Of his genius was found in the fact that Mr..
Lenox o. dered one Of his pictures MIR. John
st0n did not initiate Mr. LenoXs habit OF seclu-
sion; on the other hand, he wanted the public
TO visit MS gallery, and the writer OF this Inn
proved the earliest opportunity to accept this
inyitaiion. Mr. Johnston also lent the slave

Museum. where IL was seen by thousand. being

successful interpreter Of the sentiments which
such woman would choose TO express and
that the feminine instinct Of what 1t became

should be added that ms hencyolencc was not

he said thar the money when his own had been

The fitting season Is on hand, and the
birds of fashion, and whoever else may
afford II, are pulling over the choice be-
tween the canned fruits of mountain houses
and the decayed remnants which are shipped
from the city mar kets TO the seaside. What
ever the choice may be, the pleasures and
advantages of the situation viii be weighed
down with the discomforts OF crowded quar-
tiers and the llresome sameness OF the re-
sources of a small watering place town, al
isolated mountain house, or a seaside cara
vansary. Yet people OF fashion must con-
gregate In these on account OF their station
at home. But the greater portion OF the peO-
pie who have few weeks recreation in sum-
ner Will Ind more pleasure and lay up
