The Democrats are talking of H.
N. Smith, Warden of the state prison
as their candidate for Governor. A.
Scott Sloan; A. R. r. Butler; Harlow
S. Orton; George B. Smith, E. S.
Bragg, and George H. Paul are also
spoken of. Some other person, how
ever, not named above, is quite as like
ly to be nominated as either of those
mentioned. The Democracy are all at
sea as regards politics, and will not
enter upon the contest with any hope
of success. The administration of Gov.
Ludington has been eminently success
full, leaving no ground of opposition for
the Democracy to stand upon; while
in national affairs they claim that Pres
sident Hayes is carrying out the policy
which would have prevailed, had Til
den been elected, so that they are
estopped from finding fault there. On
the whole, the only sensible thing for
them to do is to turn in and vote the
Republican ticket.

hesitate to indulge in little lying when
in the end his double dealing is ex-

lieve that Newton in his two horse act

himself from coming to the ground by
practicing still further tricks. What

A WAsHINGToN dispatch to the Chi

A WASHINGTON dispatch to the Chi
cago Tribune says that Judge Carpen-
ter, the only Republican among the
South Carolina Circuit Judges, re-
ceived notice that the Hampton House
of Represen .atives had declared his
seat vacant, and he was asked what he
desired done. He replied by telegraph
that the members Of the Senate must
act on their oaths in the matter This
is one of the most glazing acts of bad
faith on the part Of the Hampton men
Judge Carpenter was elected to the
Columbia Circuit by unanimous vote
Democrats and Republicans-in each
branch of the Legislature preceding the
last Chamberlain Legislature. There
is no possible flaw in his title. The
reason for urseating him is to obtain a
Democratic Judge for the district in
which the capital is. This Legislature
bias already repudiated all salaries due
Republicans at the time Hampton came
in, all deficiencies for penal and char
liable institutions, and the House, as
announced, has repudiated the interest
on the public debt. The ground taken
was that it was corrupt debt fastened
on the people by carpet-baggers, but
six millions of this very debt was in
Cured before the War. It seems as
if there can be no justification for such
proceedings as these; and it is on &C
count of them that the conviction is
being forced upon the public mind that
Hampton aud his whole brood of NAL
contents are intent upon breaking their
compact with President Hayes, and
inaugerating another hell upon earth
in the South.

Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1877-06-06

The papers last week were full of
rumors that the friends of Senator
Blaine in Washington were engaged in
organizing an anti-administration party.
1t was telegraphed to the Chicago
Tribune with a tremendous flourish,
and that paper, which never loses an
opportunity for saying an unkind word
or doing a mean thing at the expense
of Blaine, gave the lie the benefit of it's
circulation. It now turns out that
there was not the least foundation
for the report in the first instance
but the purpose of the Tribune
has been subserved and its malice
grati6ed. 1t will be time enough
to denounce Senator Blaine when
he shall have done something
worthy of denunciation. But this, we
regret to say, is not the style of the
Chicago Tribune in it's dealings with
those whom it d ,es not like. Why it
should manifest such malevolent
spirit towards Senator Blaine and other
prominent Republicans who might be
named is mystery. It certainly can
not be through any desire to strengthen
the Republican party, nor can it ex-
pect by such means to benefit itself.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1877-06-06

To make public use then of this doc
ument for the purpose of stultilying
Mr.. Newton after he had requested it's
custodians to suppress it, and to which
request they had given their unquali-
fed assurance to comply with, is to say
the least very discourteous and impo-
little proceeding democrat.
Messrs. Austin Kellogg, H. S. Nick
erson, F. P. Brook and W. H. Rohr
will please step to the front and inform
an anxious public whether it is true
as alleged above that they gave "their
unqualified assurance" to Newton, that
his pledge to not appoint Giles Deputy
Sheriff, should be suppressed. For our
part We take no stock in the story.
Our opinion is that candidate who
will pledge himself to one faction to not
do thing which he has promised an

The Democrat having beeu driven
into the last ditch in the discussion of
the merits and dement's of certain city
administrations, has finally abandoned
the controversy. 1t says nothing in
reply to the points we have made as to
Democratic Union League extrava-
gance, simply because there is nothing
which it can say. Its wisdom in main
tanning silence under the circumatan-
ces cannot be questioned. 1t sees and
knows that its party, backed by ma
jority of seven or eight hundreds, isre-
sponsible for the government of the
city, whether it be we'll or poorly ad-
ministered, and that the figures which
we have published furnish unmistaka.
BILE evidence that $50, 900, 90 tax levy
the present year means a squandering
of the public money We propose to
have tax payers fully understand all
the facts; at least it shall be through
no neglect of the REPUBLICANS if they
do not. We shall publish them SO
that no one can have it to say truthful
ly that we have been remiss in our du-
ty. IF the people thereafter choose to
continue in electing incompetent and
untrustwertby men to Office, the fault
is exclusively their own.
