Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1877-06-20

a GLANCE at the election statistics
of Iowa county for the past eight
years reveals that in the Southern
Assembly District the Republican
party has steadily gained, while in
the Northern District we have suf-
fered more than a corresponding
loss. The TEIByNE, whose circula-
ton is mainly in the Southern Dis
trict, has, during those years, con-
stantly and with such vigor and
ability as it could command, COM
batted that element of the party
generally known as the Keyes Ring,
and represented in the 81 District
most prominently by 6. c. Hazelton.
On the other hand, the Dodgevile
Chronicle, whose circulation is mainly
in the Northern District, has, during
these same years, pursued an entire
)y different course. So far as it
dared, or was able, it has been q
supporter Of, or at least an apologist
for this ring which the TRIBUNE has
fought. With the facts and figures
before him We are willing to submit
to any unprejudiced, honest man for
a verdict as to which course has
proved best for the party, leaving
out entirely VIII ether it is more hon
orable and right, to uncover and
denounce evils and evil doers in the
party, or to cloak and apologize for
them, about which there can be no
disagreement among honest men.
The last issue of the Chronicle
leads us to consideration Of this
subject, for therein we find a disposi-
ton to apologize for what it has not
the courage to openly endorse, and
to misrepresent III order to justify
its secret satisfaction at the recent
success of the ring element in effect
ing u change of Deputy Collectors.

route to be adopted, and as conse-
