Gov. LudingtOn.
JULY II, 1877.

Gov Ludington having announced
that he will not be a candidate for re-
nomination this fall, the friends of
Hon. William e. Smith are quite SAN
guine of his success before the con-
vention. it is thought that other
gentlemen whose names had not been
mentioned previous to Gov. Luding-
tons declination will now be brought
forward, and accordingly fresh COM
plications arise. We are of the mum Der
who believe that Gov. Ludington
would have been the strongest candl-
date, and hence we regret that he
should have felt constrained to decline.
He was entitled to the honor of re-
nomination and reelection if he de-
sired to again come before the people
for their sufrages. Two years ago he
made the canvass against vast odds,
and was elected when all his associates
upon the ticket were defeated. His
great personal popularity in Milwaukee
carried him through successfully.
Those who have been opposing his re-
nomination seem to have forgotten
that the party is indebted to Gov.
Ludington for many of its successes in
the past, and, to great extent, the
demoralized condition of the Democratic
party in Milwaukee. Gov. Ludington
is too good and true Republican,
however, to find any fault. and will re-
tire with the consciousness Of having
been an upright and efficient execu-
tive, upon whose official record there is
not the least blemish.

Heretofore our conventions have been too
much under the influence of cliques and
rings, and were entirely too free from any
talnt or semblance of emanatjng directly
from the people.-Doage Co. Democrat.
So it seems that the system of
"cliques and rings" is not confined ex-
clusively to the Republican party after
all. We have been led to suppose
from the talk Of Democratic papers
and some few Republican papers lay
ing claim to superior virtue, that no
clique or ring ever existed in any
other than the Republican organiza
ton. We are glad to have this erro-
neous impression corrected, and to find
Democratic admission that the Re-
publican party is really no worse than
the Democratic as regards its manage
ment.. The fact is duly commended
to the Milwaukee Sentinel for its con.
sheraton.

The Village OF Pensaukee Entirely
Destroyed by Hurricane.

PENsAUKEE, July S.-A terrible
whirlwind struck this place at about 7
O'Clock last evening, carrying death ar d
ruin IN its track. Though lasting but
a few moments, its effects were terrible
in the extreme, leaving this village,
which was but moment before a
fourishing numbering town, stricken
and wrecked place.
The storm was in the form Of
whirlwind and was terribly effective iu
its death dealing work, leaving but
three or four houses standing.
The Gardner House, fine large no.
tel, was entirely demolished; the depot
of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail
road was taken up entirely and carried
some distance, being left mass OF ru-
ms; saw mills, residences, outbuildings,
trees and fences went down before The
fierce blast as though made of straw.
It is impossible at this date to give
an accurate list of the casualties Six
persons are known to have been killed !,
i've are missing, and about twenty
wounded, some 1t is thought fatally.
Further search may develop a still
larger list of casualties than this, as
there may have been guests Of the no.
tel OF whom 30 account has been made
in the confusion and fright of the ter
rible scenes
[ cannot at this time attempt an es-
innate Of the losses, which will be very
heavy. ] he entire industries of the
village are paralyze for time, and
bat three buildings are left.
A gentleman who came in from the
country, says the direct force Of the
storm passed within few rods Of his
house, tearing up huge trees as though
they had been weeds, and whirling them
in the air like feathers.
Altogether it is one Of the most ter
rible disasters that has visited this sec
ton and, for the region over which it
passed fully as destructive as the ter
rible destruction Of few years ago.
The Gardner House, which was one
of the finest hotels IN Northern Wis
consin, is complete wreck, hardly one
piece Of timber being left attached to
another.
PENsAUKEE is situated on the bay
shore, about twenty-five miles from
Green Bay. The village is at the
mouth Of the Pensaukee river, and is
often in that section styled sthe harbor."
1t consists of about fifty or sixty hous-
es, and comprised at the time Of the
disaster but a comparatively small
population. The place had formerly,
in connection with the extensive lum-
bering interests of T. B. Gardiner, been
quite a thriving one, but had fallen off
good deal since these had been dis
continued on the previous large scale.

THE approaching Democratic Convention
will probably endorse the Hayes admins
tration, and thus draw to the support of
the ticket nominated all conservative, nom
partisan Republicans, and secure the utter
annihlatlon oil the Republican party In this
State-Democrat.
We would like to know what the
President has done to draw down upon
his head any such infiction as that
which is here threatened. He can
undoubtedly survive the opposition
which is developing in certain quarters
among Republicans, but such a load
as the Democrat proposes to put upon
his shoulders is more than be can bear.
To entitle himself to an unqualified
endorsement Of Democratic Conven-
ton is to forfeit all claim to Repub-
lican support, and this we are confident
President Hayes will never do, Mr..
Democrat, we beg of you to not kill
him off in this way.
Furthermore, it is decidedly unkind
ia the Democrat to lay siege to the
President with view to "the utter
humiliation of the Republican party
in this State" The Democrat admits
that this is its sole object in endorsing
the President. 1t hopes by this
means TO attract to the support of the
Democratic ticket call conservative
nou-partisan Republicans" but the
game will hardly win. The President
is undoubtedly doing what he consid
ers best for the country at large, but
he has little idea of so administering
affairs as to command the appreciation
of the so-called Democratic party.
This implies course of action that no
true patriot can for single moment
contemplate. The Democratic party
must become better and purer or
ganization than it is at present, and
It's record IN the past must be forgotten
and forgiven, before an endorsement
by it would be either desirable or
creditable.

In answer to a letter addressed to
Postmaster Gen. Key by Z. W. Keyes,
Chairman Of the State Central Com
mittee, asking whether the signatures
of Postmasters to call for the State
Convention would be considered a VIC
lation of the Presidents order, the
Postmaster General replied that al.
though he would prefer each official
should interpret the Presidents order
for himself, yet he is of opinion that
to merely provide for the meeting of a
convention and to call it to order,
without attempting to control its or
ganization or future action, would not
be inconsistent with the spirit or pur-
pose of the Presidents instructions.

The Madison Democrat plants itself
squarely on the Presidents platform as
to the duty of Office holders with ref
erence to political affairs, and fails in
with our suggestion that the rule, if it
exists at all, should be general, apply
ing to both political parties and to
all officials, whether federal, state, coun-
ty or municipal. The Democrat says:
A person holding an Office, federal state
or municipal, is the officer Of the whole
people of his district regardless Of party, or
he is unfit to hold the office at ALL 1t is
just as legitimate to use public money
openly and outright for the benefit of tie
party, as it is to use the time of public
officer for the benefit Of the party. Both
are wrong, and should not be allowed.
The above is respectfully referred to
the Democratic officials in this city and
county for considera ton. Let them
act upon the suggestion of the Demo-
crot and leave the running of their
political mac hinery to outsiders. Will
they do it? Of course they within

The Presidents Order.

There is a wide difference of opinion
existing as to the meaning of President
HAYES order relative to federal office
holders. By some the order is con-
strued quite loosely and means abso-
Iutely nothing, while others regard it
as very stringent, and as eliminating
the Office holder from politics. The
State Register, edited by that usually
level headed individual, Jack Turner,
speaks Of it as follows:
As we read it, it is designed first, that the
officer shall give his personal attention to
the duties of his position; second, that he
shall not use his ofhcial position to control
conventions or thwart the popular will; ana
third, that no forced contributions shall be
levied on subordinate officials for campaign
purposes. This must commend itself to all
as being just and proper-it is in fact the
very essence OF civil rervce reform. If the
ORDER means more, as some construe it, and
forbids an Office holder from expressing his
views on all political matters, and prevents
Hill ITOin pOlu1 10 Il caucus, ana COuFtutlOUS
and voting for men of his ca dice as political
candidates; if it forbids him from doing any
thing he can possibly do without interfering
with the proper discharge of his duties, in
the way of voting writing, speaking organ
izing, circulating documents, carrying
torch or banner when so disposed, and
contributing as freely as he pleases to the
Legitimate expenses of a campaign, and
hurrahirg over the success of his party, then
you will please excuse US, fer we want no
such ''civil service reform" for there is no
reform about it, but is the cheapest kind of
cheap clap trap that finds no responsive
sentiment in single school district through
out the entire land
We do not see how it is possible to
put any such construction as the above
upon the order. which says expressly:
No officer should be required or permitted
to take part in the arrangement of political
organizations, caucuses, conventions, or
election campaigns. Their right to vote and
to express their views on public questions,
either orally or through the press, is not
denied, provided it does not interfere with
the discharge of their official duties. No
assessment for political purposes on officers
or subordinates should be allowed
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune writes that as
interpreted by Cabinet officers the or
der is intended to prohibit any connec-
t1on whatever with the various ward,
township, county, state, or national or
CARNATIONS for conducting political
campaigns, and debars the Office holder
from acting as delegate to political
conventions. The only part that Office
holders will be allowed to take in poll
teal affairs will be voting, speaking,
and writing for the press, and then on
~ when it "does not interfere with the
discharge of their official duties" Ali
doubt about the matter will probably
be cleared up In due time when it will
be known just how active a federal
ofice-holder may be in politics and not
lose bis official head.
