swer the question most decidedly 10

swer the question most decidedly in
the affirmative. Generally speak
ing an official must be extremely
popular to poll US full vote for re-
election as when first running. ALI
officials, especially those whose du-
ties are more distinctively executive
are liable in the discharge of their
duties to come in conflict with the
interests or prejudices of individuals
and classes, and of course this is an
element of weakness in campaign
for re election. Besides new man,
if be be one of recognized ability
and character, has the advantage of
satisfying the desire for novelty
which is SO prominent feature in
the character OF the average voter.
tits fact which should not be lost
sight Of by the Republicans in can
vassing this subject that Gov. Lud-
ington is not popular with consider
able number of the Republican party,
and that if he be re~nominated there
is danger that he may lose the votes
of not few who would vote for al
most any other Republican nominee.
1t is not necessary now to discuss the
reason for this; we are speaking only
of the situation as it is. Of the truth
of what we have stated any one can
satisfy himself who will take the
pains to inquire among leading Re-
publicans of the various shades of
opinion. We are fully convinced that
he is not the strongest man that can
be nominated, and therefore, his re-
nomination seems unwise, because the
party is not so strong in votes that il
can afford to throw any away.
But say his friends: at has been
customary to renominate for at least
| a second term, and it is unjust to make
an exception against him" As an
office is something upon which no
man can justly be said to have any
'claim," it is no injustice to an Off
cial for his party to refuse to re-
nominate him if it be convinced that
its prospects of success will be en-
HANGED thereby. The man is made
for the Office, and not the Office for
the man.
1t is said by some that Gov. Lud-
ington has the party leaders in his
favor, and his denomination is there
fore certain, and opposition thereto
is worse than useless. If it be true
that the party leaders intend to force
his denomination, it is imperative
upon the party to defeat it. The
party has had enough of manipulation
by self-constituted leaders, and what
it now needs, above all things, is a
convention composed of delegates
chosen without the dictation of those
leaders, and which can not be man
ipulated by them.
Mr.. Smith is a gentleman who has
the confidence and esteem of his
fellow-citizens in an eminent degree
he is widely and favorably known
he is we'll qualfied4fo the position
of Governor, and in that position
would worthily represent the enter
prise, intelligence and culture of the
state. He has all the elements o.
strength that Gov. Ludington has,
and some that he has not, and
therefore, we should certainly give
him the preference over the Governor
believing that with his nomination
success would be assured.

1.-The Sure witness

''The nineteenth century is the age Of nov
els" remarks literary historian he might
have added with equal truth, land novel impo-
sitions." Studied polteness has been passed
off on US for native refinement, the forms of
devotion for its essence, and speculation for
science, until we look askance at every new
person or thing, and to an assertion of merit,
invariably exclaim, "Prove it !" In short, Sa-
tan has made himself so omnipresent, that we
look for his cloven foot everywhere-even in
a bottle of medicine. Imagine a lady, having
a complexion so sallow that you would deny
her claims to the Caucasian type il her feat
ures did not conform to it, purchasing her
first bottle of tie Golden Medical Discovery
The one dollar is paid in the very identical
manner in which Mr.. Taylor might be expect,
ed to purchase lottery ticket after his ex-
perience with 1904, 163," with this difference,
his doubt would be the result. of personal ex-
perience, while hers would be founded upon
what certain practitioner (who has been
whole year trying to correct her refractory
liver) has said concerning it. At home, she
examines the bottle half suspiciously, tastes of
it carefully, takes the prescribed dose more
carefully, and then proceeds to watch the re-
suit with as much anxiety as a practitioner
would count the pulsesbeats of dying man.
She takes another dose, then another, and
shows the bottle to her friends, tells them she
s'feels better" Her skin loses the bilious tint,
her eyes regain their lustrc, her accustomed
energy returns, aud the fact that she purchas-
es another bottle is sure witness that she
has found the Golden Medical Discovery to be
a reliable remedy for the disease indicated
The lady wisely resolves that in future her es-
innate of any medicine will be based upon
personal kaoclclge Of its effects, and not upon
what some practitioner, (wfo always makes |
bis long bills rhyme with pills. may say of it.
DR.. Pierce is in receipt Of letters from huns
dreds Of the largest Wholesale druggists in the
United States stating that at the present time /
there is a greater demand for Golden Medical
Discovery and Purgative Pellets than ever be-
ore In affections Of the liver and blood they
ire unsurpassed.

a Foul Murder.

A dastardly murder, or attempt at murder,
was committed at Centerville in Iowa County,
just over the line on the northeast side OF
Grant County, last week, Wednesday. The
murderer is German named Meyer, a man
Of bad temper always and especially so when
drunk He habitually abused his wife with
hard names aud bruis es, and at such times she
found refuge at the house of Anthony Auel a
near neighbor. This provoked the jealousy
and hatred Of Meyer and the day named while
Auel was passing his house he shot him. Auel
fell pierced by 45 no. shot, which lodged
in the skull, near the heart, in the lungs, alb
domen and groin. He was taken home in an
unconscious condition and it is hardly possible
for him 20 recover. Anthony Auel is about
80 years ofage, the son of Yincenz Auel who
resides on Pigeon near Lancaster. He was
an honest, industrious German Citizen and
universally respected.

The question of who shall be nom

that very general attention in the
Republican party which its impor.
tance TO both the state and party de-
mands. If the question be discuss

not be discussed too much. Parties

ity if the criticism is not altog ether
favorable, provided it be honest.
There is no man so near perfect in
all respects that some other man may
not excel him in some important par
ticular; and when men come up for
nominations for Office, the only way
for a correct estimate to be formed
as to thier respective qualifications
and availab ility is to compare them.
Were more Of this done in spirit
of fairness and with pIainuess of
speech, prior to the meetings of eau.
cuses and conventions, and were
there less manipulation of the ma.
chinery for choosing delegates and
expressingtheir choice, there would be
marked improvement in the char"
acter of party nominations, and con-
sequently, in that of our official SER
wants. This is q truth which no
doubt every one will admit, and
it may seem a wholly gratuitous mat
ter to set it forth: but important
truths can scarcely be too frequently
or too plainly stated especially where
there is danger of their being lost
sight of.

1t is not always easy to state what
will be done with them in their col

Gov. Ludingtou has administered
tho affairs of his Office in a straight
forward business-like way and if he
should be re-elected there is no ques-
ton that his second administration
would be as commendabie as his
first has boon, but 1t does not follow
that his denomination would be a wise

The cost of the Railroad Commits
sion under the administration of
Gov. Taylor was at the rate of over
ST, 900 month under that Of Gov
Ludington it has been only $500 a
month. In Gov. Ludington'5 first
annual message to the Legislature be
said
In determining how the agency shall be
constituted through which the State shall ex-
crcse its control over railroads, as in all other
matters, economy is an object that should be
kept steadily in view, and it it worthy of your
consideration how this may be efiectually and
vigorously performed with the least expense
to the people OF the State
In pursuance of this recomenda-
tion the Legislature substituted one
for three commissioners, etc. so il is
o Republican Governor and Repub-
lican Legislature that the people of
the State arc indebted for the saving
of $4,000 a year in this one depart
ment.
The contingent fund is another
notable item. Gov Taylor spent
during the year 1875, $1,9O5.57
Governor Ludington spent during
the year 1876, S203.19. La the item
of postage for tho Executive Office
there was saving of 5000 during
the first year of Gov. Ludington's
term. The difference in the cost of
protecting the st. Croix land grant
will also be observed. In fifteen
months, Gov. Taylor expended $780,
267 81. Under Gov. Ludington, the
service has been performed far more
efficiently at q cost of only 1882
81 for seventeen months. Again,
Democratic State officials managed
to burn s12,617.43 worth of gas from
January /, to June /, 1874, and from
January 1, 1875, to Janu airy 1, 1876
a period of seventeen months.
Gov Ludington having beer inaug-
urated and having taken charge Of
the expenditures about the Capital
the gas bills for the next seventeen
months were less by nearly SO, 900.
So wherever the reader may look
among these disbursements, be will
see evidence that the Republican
party has kept its faith with the
people in the mattir of ocon.1
omy so far as it was ale only part
of the State administr ion being in
its hands. Some idea may thus be
formed of the good re ults to be ex>
pected from the success Of the entire
Republican ticket at the next cleo
tion.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1877-07-05

We publish this week an article
from the Madison journal which
shows the administration of Gov. Lud-
ington in very creditable light, and
another from the Milwaukee WiSc0n-
sin which has good only to say of
Lndington but gives reasons for pref
erence for VIM. E Smith for Govern
or The HERALD intends only to give
the people Che facts and therefore
gives both sides. Milwaukee is
regarded as Ludiugton's strong hold
yet for some reason both the strong
Rep. papers there, which are also the
leading Republican papers Of the
State, slant against Ludington. The
HERALD proposes to take that course
which will get the nominee the most
votes in Grant County whether it be
Ludington, Smith or Cassoday It's
course the past two years brought
large gains to the Republican party.
Only traitors can prevent greater
gaius this year.

The Old Settlers.

There was but slim attendance
at the old settlers gathering on Thurs
day. Maj. Rountree was present and
did his part as usual. An excellent
dinner was served in the office of
Judge McGonigal. Speeches were
made by Maj. Rountree, Judge Brun-
son, Farnham Johnson, DR.. Davis
Geo Ballantine and Samuel Druen
An interesting item in Mr.. Ballantine's
is the fact that he is supposed to be
the man who drove the first stake at
the laying out of the town of Milwau-
kes. Mr. Druen's account of battles
on Blake's Prairie with the Indians
was quite entertaining This year

have not room for full report of the
speeches. The facts of history con-
tanned n>them have repeatedly been
given in the HERALD and will be again.

THE celebrations in Grant County
at the various places so far as heard
from passed off splendidly. Beetown
did its best. A good many were there
from Lancaster and they think there
must have been 5000 people there.
We have full report also from Po-
tosi where the crowd is estimated at
1000 and the entertainment tiptop.
We cannot get these reports in the

regular mails. British Hollow people
had lively and delightful time. The
day was favorable one for celebra-
tons, except that the heat was OPP
pressive. We may give reports next
week bat the speeches were rather
too numerous this year to transfer
any of them to our columns.
