For the KenOsh1 Telegraph.
To the Republicans Of Kenosha Go.


Mr.. EDITORIALS the time of the
annual town meetings and judicial
election approaches, I deem it proper
to call the attention of the Republican
voters of the county to some important
facts. It is a fact apparent to all close
observers, that you pay too little atten-
ton to the primary meetings, or eau
cuses, both for the nomination of can
didates for town offices and for the cleo
ton of delegates to attend the County
and District conventions I desire to
impress on your minds that these pri
mary meetings and conventions are Of
ten more important than the election
itself.
When the nominations are made, you
must vote for the candidate no matter
what his character or unftness for the
office may be, OF bolt your ticket and
give the enemy just so much more
strength as your vote would add to
your party strength.
There is another important fact to
which I invite your attention. In
towns where the democracy are a mi
nority, they lead too many of you
astray on side issues, that is, the dem
ocrats get up Peoples Ticket, Lib
eral-reform ticket, q Greenback ticket"
and thus draw many unsuspecting re-
publicans to vote with them, which in
the end is the same as voting the DEM
ocratic ticket. Let me give a few IL
Illustrations. William r. Taylor was
elected Governor on the liberal-reform
ticket by the aid of the republicans yo-
| tiers. 1t has TRANSFERRED that he was a
thief and robber according to his own
admission in returning to the State
nearly one thousand dollars in stolen
property. The same vote the same
year elected a democratic Legislature,
that Legislature elected q conservative
! y. S. Senator. The same thing oc-
CURED in Illinois, in the election Of '76,
and defeated General Logan in re-elec-
ton to the Uns5Se States Senate and
elected a conservative in his place.
The history Of conservatism is, that
those men more frequently vote with
the democrats than the republicans.
In the same way the last county judge
was elected, which carries all the pat
ronage of that Office over to democratic
gain and interest.
If you would keep the republican
party a power, only nominate and elect
men of a0eW defined republican princi-
pies. No matter what the office, be it
high or low, there are men enough in
the party that have been true to it's
highest principles to fill them honora-
bly, if elected. To absent yourselves
from the caucuses leaves the nominal
lions in the hands of few of the par
ty, while it is often the case the caucus
is controlled by the democracy who are
present in a majority. It is but a few
years since liberal reform democratic
orators announced the death and burr
al of the democratic party. It's corpse
has been resuscitated vigorously by the
lukeWarmness of republicans, and the
apostacy of the liberal reformers. Let
the history Of the past be a lesson to be
remembered, but bear in mind only
energetic action will bring success.
REPUBLICAN.

We, members of the bar residing in
the Judicial Circuit in which you have
presided as Judge since the Spring of
1876, having noted your earnest endeav-
or and success in administering the
law with even handed justice, and
knowing that experience in the exercise
of the judicial Office is valuable to all,

To t6e aboce named members of the
Bar Gsad citizens and U0ters Of theFSrst
Judicial Circuit of Wisconsin:
GENTLEMAN: - Your communica-
lions requesting me to be candidate
for reelection to the Office of Judge of
the First Judicial Circuit are received,
and as they are to the same end I reply
to them as one:
The manner in which you choose
that I should be placed before the
people of the circuit as a candidate for
reelection, I feel to be, (under the
circumstances attending me as such
candidate,) peculiarly suitable. Two
years since | was Unexpectedly called
by the people to exercise the duties of
the Office heretofore occupied by
distinguished men who have within
the memory of most of us honored the
position with much learning and
ability. There has been no lack of
earnest endeavor on my part to meet
the requirements of that undertaking.
How far my endeavors in that behalf
have been successful, [ will leave for
you and all who have had anything to
do with the business of the Court, or
who have ip any way become cognizant
with the transaction OF such business,
to determine, and to your and their
judgment on the record so made in the
past two years [ submit without appeal
to a convention.
Being personally acquainted with a
large number Of those who join in the
request, am persuaded by their known
character and standing to believe that
the judgment of the Circuit is as favor
able to me as | could hope for. There
fore I consent to be candidate for re-
election, and submit to more formal
and definite declaration of the judy
ment of the people at the coming
Judicial election.
If reelected it will be my highest
ambition and hope that the future shall
prove your trust we'll founded.
Yours very respectfully,
JOHN T. WENTWORTH.

An exchange says: "Aproperly con-

cret society as Masonic Lodge The
printers are under no oath of secrecy,
but feel themselves as truly in honor
bound to keep secrets as though they
had been put through triple oaths. An
employee in printing office who will
ingly disregards this rule III regard to
printing office secrets, would not only
be scorned by the brethren of the craft
but would lose his position in the Office.
We make this statement because it
sometimes happens that communica-
ton appears in the newspaper under
an assumed signature, which eXcites
comment, and various persons try to
find out the author Let all be saved
the trouble of questioning the employees
and attaches of the printing office.
They are know-nothings on such points
as these. OF such matters they have
eyes and ears, but no mouth, and if
they fail to observe this rule, let them
be put down as dishonoable members
