For Congre ssman, Eighth District,
HON. THAD. G. POUND,
Of Chippewa Falls.

THE anxiously-looked for cleo
tons in Ohio and Indiana took
place on Tuesday last, Ohio going
Republican by about 5000 majority
and Indiana Democratic by 1000.
In Ohio the Republicans made a
gain of five Congressman, thus re-
versing the color of the delegation
from that State, which last year
stood Is Democrats to I Republi-
cans, but which will now stand II
Republicans to Democrats. The
Republicans also gained four Con-
gressmen in Indiana, electing nine
out of the thirteen. The Republi-
cans also have a majority IN both
branches of the Indiana Legisla-
ture. Glory enough for one day.

Hon. Thad. G. Pound.

The State Journal in speaking of
che nomination of ex-Lieutenant
Governor Pound for Member of
Congress in this district, says:
This means that George W. Cate
is not to be counted in again. He
will be defeated, and by decided
majority, for Lieut.. Governor Pound
is a strong man, and he will poll a
heavy vote As lumbefInan, and
as Lieut.. Governor and Legislator,
he has shown marked ability and
made hosts of friends. He will
make a successful and influential
member of Congress, because he is
a good business man; an accom-
pllshed parliamentarian; a convinc-
ing speaker, and well versed in
Wisconsin affairs.

WHEN the democracy at St.
LOUIS placed in nomination as vice
president Thomas A. Hendricks,
the admirers of that gentleman
promised in open convention an
overwhelming victory" III Indiana.
When the canvass opened for the
October election, the democrats
claimed the state by thirty tbous-
and. A few weeks later they fell
to twenty thousand. afterward, to
ten thousand, and finally to five
thousand. Now it seems they must
be eoutent with a majority of two or
three thousand, or perhaps even
less. In truth, it is a barren vic
tory, and there is notl ing in it to
abate one jot the confidence and
courage of the republicans.-M.

A MAN WITH NO ENEMIES. "A
friend has handed us the following
excellent piece, which will be appre-
ciated by good many just at the
present time
A man who "basn't az enemy In
the world" is very little use in the
world. He is OF about as much
use as a jelly fish, and about as in
teresting. A man with backbone
must make enemies. 1t is his duty
to protest against mean actions,
false doctrines and frauds of every
kind. Those genial men who
agree with everyone and have no
opini ons of their own, who are al
ways afraid of think G for them
selves and uttering their thoughts
for fear Of giving offence, occupy a
very contemplate position IN a
community. Ii man is mean, low
and wicked, say SO boldly; be care
fuI you don't make a mistake and
misjudge a man, but if you are GER
tam that he is mean, tell people so.
Don't become accessory to his evil
deeds. Every man should be in
some degree a moral policeman.
He need not be SO particular in tel
ling anything bad that he hears or
thinks about a woman. Women
have hard enough time of it as 1t
is. Let women tell tales about
each other; it is a very smnll busi
ness for man TO engage III. Be
sides, men don't as a rule, under
stand women, and are very likely to
misjudge their motives. But they
need not be anxious to get through
life without an enemy In the world.
The man who has no enemies Is
just the sort of man who has no
friends. Such a man will lose y
friend for fear of making an enemy.
The best way to get along IN the
world, is to present bold front to
your enemies; if you show fear you
sacrifice your independence. The
man with no enemies is insipid as
bread pudding, fat as stale lager.
A good man must have enemies
among bad men, and and he should
be prepared for them. A man who
is friendly with everyone, is friend
who is not worth having:
''The friends thou hast, and their adoption trisd
Graphic them 10 thy soul with hooks Of steel;
But do not dull the palm with entertainment
Of each new batchd unfedg'd comrade. Beware
Of entrance to aquarrel, but being in,
Betr it that the opposer may beware of thee"

Congressman from this district.
This matter was placed in type sew

of space, was crowded out. How

ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Mr.. Frye's Resolution for a Statue.

Mr.. Frye offered q resolution last wednesday,
which was referred TO the Joint Committee on
the Library, providing for the erection in WASH
ington of an equestrian statue of Gen. Zachary
Taylor. Measures looking to the preservation OF
the memory and heroic deeds of distinguished
Americans are always popular, and this one Pc
culiarly so. The proof is printed below that
President Taylor himself appreciated such a
mark OF respect. The Wings of Ohio, in ls4S,
commissioned the celebrated sculptor, Mr.. Tom
d. Jones, to execute for them a portrait bust of
"Old Whitley" and when it was finished Gen.
Taylor addressed the committee of Wings the fol-
lowing letter:

OF Public Interest.

For thirty years there has been noimproyement
in the composition of porous plaster. The re-
cent discovery Of Capcine and its addition to an
improved porous plaster has introduced to the
consumers and the public an article OF progress.
The objection to the ordinary article is its slow
action. BENsoN's CAPcINE Porous PLASTER
overcomes this great objection by etfecting in q
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster &C.
complishes in days and weeks Of continuous wear.
BENsoS's CAPCINE PoRoUs PLAsTERs are pre-
fsrred to all others on the following grounds:
First-Tbeir composition is Of an improved ma.
ture, and combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
cne-which, as powerful and unerring
specific has mover been equaled in the
history of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vigor, bring almost I'm
mediate relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, lnment or compound.
Secord-They possess all the merit Of the ordL
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and will cure all the various difficulties
Tor which they have been esteemed in as
many hours as the ordinary article
effects in days and weeks Of continuous
wear.
Third-They are a genuine pharmaceutical pre-
paratton, skilltully combined, Of the
highest order OF merit, purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
poisons, indorsed by physicians, and are
In no sense atent medicine.

George F. Gulick, F. L. Moore, A. S. Solomons
and Warren Choate.
The meeting was opened with discussion as to
the best plan Of operation.
Mr. Choate said that there was an opinion In
tie community that the socIet ty had, to some ex-
tent, encouraged idleness and that there was no
necessity for the organization as it had been con-
Quoted.
In this connection Mr. Stickney said that he
had asked to be relieved from service on the CON-
mission, mainly because it had been suggested
be classed as idlers. At the request of the Dis.
trict Commission he had consented to again
serve.
1t was remarked by Mr.. Moore that If the Com
missioneTs would give men work It would be
more charitable than furnishing supplies. 1fthey
would prepare orders % on the Com@issionsrs gs. TO
be paid by the relief commission,) 1t would &C.
complish considerable good.
Mr.. Ball6ntyne called to notice the fact that
there were numbers OF those who were aided, and
were entitled to aid, who were females or old and
decrepit men. Many such cases came TO the
knowledge Of the ward physicians, and arrange
ments might be made with these physicians to
report such cases.
Mr.. SOlOmons, in indOrsing MIR. Ballantyne's
remarks, ssid that other physicians also came
across deserving cases. He had been informed

tion.
