A. c. MORSE DECLINES.

EDITOR HERALD i noticed in the
HERALD of Oct. 18th, that the Green
hackers of Grant County had met in
convention at Lancaster the 18th inst,
and placed in nomination ticket for
county officers also that | am nomi-
mated for Clerk of the Court by that
convention.
Now, Mr.. Editor, my aspirations
for that or any other offics at present,
were appeased by the Republican
Convention, which met on the 9th
ultimo, at Lancaster, Mr.. Herman
Buchner being the choice of the party,
| propose to support him, and hope
that all other good Republicans will
do the same, as he bears a good name,
and by reputation is well qualified for
tho office.
Greenbacks are a mighty good
thing to have, and how to obtain them
is what bothers me most just at pres
ent. The Greenback party l am not
much interested in, only as it intends
to draw good loyal citizens from the
Republican party (that l don't like)
the party that saved the country in
the time of peril. and the only party
in whose hands the country is safe at
present. But | am interested in see
ing the Government placed in the
hands of good loyal men, and not in
the hands of those who used their
best endeavors to destroy it; and no
one can deny that the traitors and
disloyal element arc in the Democratic
ranks. Bob Ingersoll says "that there
may be loyal men in the Democratic
party, but show me rebel, Southern
sympathizer, or States rights man and
| will show you Democrat every
time" This promise being correct,
certainly no one can be in doubt as
to which party to trust, or in whose
hands our nationality is most likely to
be preserved.
TO the People Of Grant County:
| decline to be a candidate for
Clerk of the Court, on the Greenback
ticket, and to vote for me is to throw
your votes away. always have been,
and presume that | shall be for some
time to come, a Republican, | never
voted any but the Republican ticket
for State, national or county officers.
And now, if you will allow me to be
the Judge, l think that my head is not
sore, at least | am not apprised of the
sensation; seems to me it feels about
the same as it did before the conven-
ton, and | guess that I will survive.
TO the Greenbackers
Don't fool away your votes on this
county ticket or any other Greenback
ticket, this fall, but place your votes
where they will do the most good to
the greatest number.

In Memorian.

Over another prairie home has the death
angel passed, leaving a bereaved family to
weep for one who is not.
In the Lodge of which he was a member,
aad in the Sabbath School class there will be
a vacant seat. A brief life of hardly seven
teen years was suddenly ended on Friday, eve
ming, October 18th, when the summons to die
came 70 Fred, eldest son of Nathaniel and
Samantha Austin, and grandson of William
and Abby Lyman, formerly of Bloomington.
Early in the year Mrs. Lyman entered into
the mansions prepared in Gpr Fathers house
for those who love Him, and il was mcte that
more than the record of her going home bad
been given to one whom s'to know was to
love- Mrs. Lyman was the daughter of the
late DR.. Amarioh Chandler, of Greenfield,
Mass, and in early youth consecrated herself
to the service of God and united with the
church of her father, then residing in Waits
field, VT.
Coming to Wisconsin more than twenty
years ago, the light of her christian character

BELMONT, Wis, Oct. Is. :
Hon. j. ALLEN BARBER:
Dear Sir Your first inter-
rogatory-"Was Philo A. Orion 10y
al during the war? Il answer en-
phatically, mol He was considered
an inveterate Copperhead. He wore
Copperhead badge or pin, early in
the war. My authority on this point
is Hon. Francis Campbell, our present
State Senator, who stands ready to
verify that he saw Orion wear such a
badge at Darlington. He is accused
and / have never heard it denied that
he attended the peace meeting at
Springfield, H., run by Jake Thomp-
son. / believe Mr.. Orton's private
character above reproach, but polit-
ically he is the counterpart of the ex-
treme Bourbon Democracy.
entertain the usual friendly feel
ings towards Mr.. Orion personally,
but of his war record the least said
the better for him. l was Deputy U.
S. Marshal during the war, under Col.
Clark in the discharge of my duty
| enrolled the towns of Kendall and
Belmont. Pending the draft in the
former town, meetings were frequent
" held to resist the draft. and | was
informed on good authority that at
those meetings it was resolved not to
furnish a man or pay dollar to sup
port the war. The danger to me in
the discharge of my duty was immi-
nent; could get no information from
the Democrats in that town TO enable
me to discharge or perform my duty,
and / was informed that Mr.. Orion
made speech at the Kendalltown
school house. in which he infamed
the minds of the people then to resist
the draft, arguing that it was uncon-
stitutional,
If you wish you can further enquire
of any prominent Republican at OAR
lington as to his war record.
/ have never heard it denied that
he filed the bill of an inveterate Cop
perhead during the war.

REID DECLINES.

EDITOR HERALD:-I hear of my
name being used by the Greenback
convention held yesterday for the
office of County Clerk. The same
was done without my knowledge or
consent. 1 am a Republican, and
have learned, in my life and travels
in the North and South, that there
are but two political parties in this
country-Repu blican and Democratic
--aud that all roads out of the Re-
publican leads into. the Democratic
camp. Therefore | decline the can
didacy to any position on any ticket
in the conflict with the Republican
party. Respectfully Yours,
