TO the Editor Of the Waterto1on Republican
| think that the Democrat is unnece ssariy
severe on "the men Who procured the pub
llcatiOn Of the document" pledging Earl
Newton under s'no circumstances" to APP
point JOS. Giles Deputy or Under Sheriff in
case of his (Newton's) election to the office
of Sheriff. That Mr.. Newton made sucn a
document he aclU not deny that he after
wards requested its destruction IwiU not deny
Now, claim that the making of that agree
ment elected him Sheriff; so you see that he
was benefited by the document, and had he
lived up TO its prom ises no one would have
found out that such a paper was ever made.
The document itself provided for publication
after the election, in case tie custodian
should choose 10 do so, and which was
strictly complied with, and the Democrat has
no moral right of ascribing to s.the men who
procured the publication of the document,
motives not strictly in keeping with the
interests OF the Democratic party in Jeffer-
son county. "The men who procured The
publication of the document" were guided
by what they deemed the interests of the
Dem ocratlc party, because it cannot posi-
bly, be Tor the interest OF the party to have
its representative men disreputabe deceiv-
erS and irresponsible nObOdys TO get even
with "the men who caused the publicati on
of the document | would suggest to Mr.
Newton that he publish the names on the
petition asking the appointment of Al. Gun
bingham AS Deputy tor this city. Giles &
Co. report that neatly all the signers are
republicans, and it is understood that the
'Hew" Democrats on the list are spotted"
and must be "crushed out" Mr. Newton
secured the Office OF Sheriff by deception and
fraud; and the pillory of contempt in W ich he
now finds himself, is but Just reward.
The men who procured the publication of
the document to which the Democrat so
Unexpectedly objects, are probably as loyal,
unseliish Democrats the barnacle few
whose cause that sheet has chosen to g.
pouse Mr.. Newton Undoubtedly "subse-
quently countermanded the document,
because che bad been to Watertown and
made it all right with the boys" La other
words he had been to WATERFOWL and lied
TO "the boys verbally, to the same ex.
tent as he had done in writing am
astonished that Mr.. Newton should fOa
fault with the publication OF The document,
because, in my presence he offered 10 90
over 10 the Democrat otflce and insert a
similar card pre- Tous to the election. l do
not think that The interests Of the Demo
cratic party in Jefferson counsy require the
suppression Of the truth, and shall. there
fore not hesitate to utilize its power, even
though it be unpalatable to what some
people are uncharitable enough to call
the jefferson County Sheriff Ring"
If it should become necessary to 90
more into details in regard to the nomi-
nation and election of New ton, the appoint
ment of Giles and his retinue and Other
Interesting matters connected with the
'stick tights OF Jefferson County, | hope
You will be So kind as to allow me the use

The Herol0, one of the most inhu-
enclal German papers of Milwaukee,
has come out strongly against the re-
nomination of Ludington 1t charges
that he rents one of his large blocks in
that city for gambling establishment,
and that he has permitted it to be oc-
cupied for that purpose for years. 1t
argues that man who continually vio-
lates the statute laws of the state, and
assists gambling sharpers to fleece hon
est people out Of their hard earnings,
is DOT tit to be Governor jefferson
Banner
Considering that the HeroM has
made these Identical charges over and
over again whenever Ludington has
been can didate for office, and that
they have been shown false in every
particular, they are not likely to dam
age the Governor any at this time.
The enemies of that gentleman will not
make anything by the circulation Of
such lies as these.

A NEWLY married couple in James
vile had recently presented to them
some crockery ware, and among the
pieces was an unknown one. This lit
tie and modest piece created division
of opinion in the household, as to its
use. The bridegroom thought it was a
spoonholder, and the bride pronounced
it celery dish. For which OF these
purposes to use it they were at loss
1t was finally agreed to leave the mat
ter to arbitration and be sure they were
right. 1t was we'll they did, otherwise
a piece Of the commode furniture would
have been seen on the. dining-reom TIA
bic. a neighbor, lady of age and
experience, was called in, and IL g
young and innocent couple soon learned
that the celery dish was toothbrush

EX-President Grant.

Now that Gen Grant is out OF Office
and out of the country, those who took
especial delight in abusing him as
President are disposed to treat him
fairly and acknowledge that he is one
Of the greatest men in the land. The
Chicago Tribune has thrown as much
mud at Grant, perhaps, as any paper
In the country, and ali because it was
unable to control him in certain mat
tiers of appointments. Its editor has
not for years missed an opportunity for
traducing Grant, and for no other rea-
son than the one above given Re-
Gently, however, and more particularly
since Grants arrival in England the
Tribune has changed front and is now
as vigorously defending him from the
attacks of the Chicago Times and
other copperhead prints as it once en-
ergetically Illuminated its assaults
against him. The fact is that people
are beginning to realize now as they
never did before, that Grant, in all
that gees to constitute the soldier and
statesman, is Justly entitled 20 stand in
the front rank. His reception in
England has been of the most enthu-
siastic character, and must be not only
especially gratifying to him, but must
make every American feel proud that
honors are so lavishly showered upon
him. A few evenings since he was
given reception at the residence of
u. S. Minister Pierrepont in London,
and the occasion was one of extraor-
binary brilliancy and pleasure. About
thousand persons were In attendance
crowding the reception rooms for three
hours. Among those present were the
best and most distinguished membe
of London society, both English and
American General Grant, with Mrs.
Pierrepont, received his visitors, shak-
ing hands with all, while Mr.. Pierre
pont and Mrs. Grant also received the
latter's visitors. Lord Beaconsfeld
(Disraeli) was absent on account of
Illness, but all the other members of
the Royal Cabinet were present, to-
gether with the entire diplomatic corps
including the Chinese and japanese
Ambassadors. There were, besides, a
large number of members Of Parlia-
ment and very large representation
OF citizens Of the United States. AL
together it was magnificent testimo-
NAL to the fame and public services of
our worthy ex-President. Still fur
Their honors await him during his stay
IN England, and his visit there will be
one uninterrupted round of pleasure
ard enjoyment, doing credit and honor
alike to the people Of that country and
to this.

Texas Border Troubles.

Mexican marauders have become so
bold and frequent in their operations
in Texas as to have called for action on
the part of the general government.
The matter has been fully considered
in cabinet meeting. and as a result of
the conference, Sec'y. McCrary has Is
sued Instructors to Gen. Ord, com
mander of the T. S. forces in that de-
partment, which it is presumed will
have the desired effect, and put stop
to Mexican depradations. Sec'y. Nc
Crary says it is the deliberate policy of
the Administration. and does not mean
either annexation or war, but it does
mean the speedy and effective suppress
sion of Mexican raids across the bor-
der, peaceably is possible, forcibly if
necessary. 1t has been presumed by
some newspaper writer's that it is the
intention Of the President to stir up a
quarrel with Mexico, SO as, by attract.
ing attention to foreign troubles, to
keep the public mind off domestic
troubles, or by use of "a counter-irri-
tant," as one newspaper expresses it,
asubdue the laternal inflammation by
external irritation" Nothing is fur
Their from the mind of the President,
and this idea never occurred TO him

Bob TooMBs is reported as saying
that "Hayes is as good man as old
Tilden.'' 1t is doubtful if compliments
coming from such a source DO the Pre-
sident any good. When such men as
Toombs speak favorably of him, suspic.
ions naturally arise that all is not right.
But, then, perhaps Toombs never said
what is attributed to him. We hope
he did not, for it would injure the
President more than it would benefit
him.

MOUNT CARMEL. Ill.,, June 5.-The
terrible tornado, announced in my dis
patch last night, struck this city about
$3.50 O'Clock on Monday afternoon
Its direction was from little south
west to "a little north of east, and it's
line Of destruction embraces al Fourth
street and large portion of the terri
tory between Third and Fifth streets.
The duration Of the wind-storm was
not to exceed one or two minutes. al
together. Heavy rain continued to
fall for some time afterward. The
speed of the wind was estimated at $50
miles per hour The air was filed wi
flying roofs, windows, doors, lumber
rails, clothing etc. Much of the de-
bris was carried distance of over a
mile
The loss OF life was terrible, thirteen
being killed outright, while many 9TH
ers will undoubtedly die of injuries
within day or two In addition to
those known to be killed. several are
reported missing, and are probably bur
led under the debris. 1t was rainy
day, formers could not work, and con-
sequently the town was full of country
people. The session of the County
Commissioner court also brought many
to town. Men, women and children
were blown distance of 400 feet, as f
they were feathers. The best part of
the town is destroyed No less than
seventy families are houseless and
homeless, and much distress is antici-
pated. The appearance of the town
cannot be described.

AT Waukcsha is still living man
who settled thers forty years ago, when
there were only three men in that place.
He early became conductor on the
underground Railway" It was Ly-
man Goodman: who, about 1913, took
Caroline Quarles from Waukesba to
Sandwich, Canada. She had escaped
from her master at st. Louis; reached
Milwaukee in safety, where it was as
certaiDed that some one was on her
track She was run into the country;
afterwards concealed at Waukesha, and
lMr. Goodman took her by rounda-
bout way distance of more than 400
miles. During the first week they
travelled entirely in the night, but after
getting near Canada they used day.
light. and in about two weeks reached
the Dominion in safety. Mr.. Good
man loves to dwell on the olden times.
He has lived to see slavery abolished;
his old railroad discontinued, and
Waukesha grown from less than half a
dozen inhabitants to more than 1000.
ABOUT the time it became known
that Gov Taylor was defeated in 1875,
number of the victims met in the
office of the Superintendent of Public
Property for the purpose of exchanging
regrets over each others bad luck
Among the number was Private ,Secre-
tary Geo. w. Bird, and during the
conversation he addressed Col Jim"
