Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1877-08-23
Hint.

Southwest Wisconsin is certainly
entitled to o representative on the
Republican State ticket to be put in
nomination on the 18th of Septem-
Der next. Year after year the Third
District has rolled up large major
ity for the Republicans; AID yet
this section of the State has been
practically ignored when nomina.
tons have been made for Stat s
officers by the Republicans. Why
this has been done, and how it has
been done, might be explained; but
as the explanation would DO but
rehearsal Of tie Jesuitical qualities
displayed by some men OF the party,
and tho base subserviency of others,
we forego an attempt at explana-
tion in the present. But this sec
ton, it may as we'll be understood,
is tired of that way OF doing things.
This coming November the Third
District will be in position, in the
event of its obtaining no recogni-
tion in the September convention,
to wreck all the work and hopes of
those who may seek to snub it, and
it is to be hoped that il will.
And in the event of our obtaining
some such recognition as we shall
expect and demand, we do not want
foisted upon US some one of those
subserviant creatures of this section
who have always been ready to got
down and crawl at the pehest of
those who regard not our rights as
citizens and Republicans. They are
known, and being known are de-
tested 1t Is desired by this section
that some one of its many honorable
and capable citizens be chosen
somebody who may fifty represent
the sturdy honesty, unwavering in
tegrity, and earnestness of political
belief of his immediate neighbors
and supporters. 1t will be satisfied
with nothing else.
1t matters not SO much to which
county he may belong. j. Allen
Barber or J. T. Mills, of Grant, or
Francis Little, of Iowa, would eth
err of them make as good Governor
as Wisconsin ever had. A Secretary
of State that any of US might feel
proud of could be chosen from such
men as David Schreiner, Of Grant,
Phillip Allen, Jr., of Iowa, Geo. e.
Weatherby, of La Fayette, or J. III.
Wagner. Of Richland. And there
is not man in the State who would
make q better Treasurer than
Joseph Book, of Grant. He has all
the qualities of a good public ser
want. There is nothing about his
manner that even suggests desire
to win the favor of any clique, how
ever pretentious it may be. His in
dependence Of spirit, aud earnest
fearlessness, as manifested in the
assembly during the two sessions
last past. commended him to every
thoughtful voter of this section. And
after all there is nothing like steady
flowing German blood in the man
whom we could wisely trust with
the State cash box. And as for ma
terial to select an Acknowledgement
from, there is Clementson, already
the peer of any lawyer in the State,
and VIM. e. Carter, selfposessed,
acute and strong in Argument, of
Grant; the scholarly Magoon, of La
Fayette, and accom- plished Wilson,
of Iowa. And where is the man in
Wisconsin who would make better
Lieutenant Governor than Kearton
Coates, Linden, or w. S. Westcot of
Green County ?
Give US either of the men named,
and the Third District may be put
down for 5000 majority next No
vember Mineral Point Tribune.
