A Wisconsin Tragedy.

The Wantoma (Waushara county,
argus contains the particulars of
horrible case of wife-murder perpetrat-
ed almost a week ago, but which has
only now como to light The facts are
in brief as follows: One Hezekiah
Whitney lives on the northeast corner
OF the town of Deerfeld, about eight
miles northwest of Wautoma. His
family consists of his wife and four
daughters, only two of whom are at
home, two being married For some
time past Whitney has been practicing
religious rites and ceremonies, and has
said in all he did God gave him spec.
ial directions, even to the most trivial
matters Of business. Last Friday
Mrs. Whitney, accompanied by her
brother, W. q. Rogers, of Oasis came
to Wautoma to see if measures could
not he taken to place him where he
could do no harm, but DO action was
then taken in the matter Mrs. Rog-
ers stated that he said God had dug a
grave for two of his family, aud be had
got to kill them. Nothing more was
thought of this until Sunday, when
word was brought to town that Mrs.
Whitney had hung herself. The
matter was at once investigated, when
it was found that the husband had
first broken his wife's neck over he
manger in the barn. and then taken
her to scrub oak tree and tied her in
such manner as to lead to the belief
that she had comitted suicide, in the
hope OF diverting suspicion from him.
self. Whitney was placed 10 the
charge of an officer, and as there is
but little doubt of his insanity, appli-
cation was made to confine him 10 the
Insane Asylum at Oshkosh. Mrs.
Whitney was slight built, handsome
int ll'gent and lady-like person highly
esteemed. Her funeral on Monday
was very largely attended

jeff Davis.

Jefferson Davis has wrought more
than his share of mischief for this
country. AS a leader in the rebel
lion he brought on strife and blood
shed. Without any of the quail
ties of great statesman he cursed
the confederacy which he pretended
to govern. Success for the rebel
lion was impossible under any cir
cumstances. Davis failed to add
one scintilla Of glory to a struggle
which its soldiers and it's women
lifted to the heroic plane. Not
content with the evils he has al
ready inflicted on the southern peo-
pie he now keeps on talking, and
trying to revive sectional passions
and prevent the restoration of pa
triotic feeling.
Since he does not know enough
himself to bow before the popular
odium which rests upon him, a
committee should be appointed to
tell him that his words are freight
ed with curses to the whole Union
and especially to the southern peo-
pie who are held responsible for
them. He is criminal baff1ed in
his crime, who seeks to justify that
which is an offense to society and
the state. If he sought to furnish
texts to the advocates of perpetual
strife, he could not do better than
he is accustomed to do whenever
any pretext arises to foist his utter
ances upon unwilling auditors. A
badge Of the rebel army of the
Tennessee was recently given him
as such badges arefrequently bestow-
ed upon persons connect ed with its
campaigns, and Davis inflicts long
speech of the foolishest twaddle,
proving that he has learned nothing
since the war, and has not the
slightest conception of the duties OF
a citizen of the united and victor
;ous republic. He is a pronounced

WEDNESDAY, JULY "a, 1878.

THE Democrat last week struck out
boldly in favor of a new departure
in the selection of candidates and the
kind of planks to be used this fall in
the erection of its party platforms. 1t
insists upon the following:
Our candidates must be true democrats
pot tainted with communism, greenback-
ism or other temporary halIucnation but
men thoroughly imbued with the Jefferson
ism ideas and doctrines in regard to re-
publican torn of government, or a safe
sound financial policy. Our candidates
should be pledged by the platform adopted
by tie nominating conventions to do all in
their power to restore the government to
the purity and constitutional restrictions of
ante war democratic times.
This all sounds very well, but we
want to venture prediction: to-wit,
that the demands of the Democrat
will be contemptuously ignored. and
further that it will craw6sh from it's
present position and support the ticket
nominate 1 although the names present
ed, and the platform upon which they
stand, be of the softest kind. The
Democrat is valiant on paper, but
when it comes to action, it can eat
dirt and turn sommersaults equal with
the best of them. H

Trouble In the Democratic Camp.


A correspondent of the Chicago
Times writing to that paper from
Jefferson few days since, discusses
Democratic politics in this county
In manner at once racy and inter-
esting. The liberal Republican
element of the party comes in for
some hard knocks, and is affection
ately advised to study modesty a
little in the future, with reminder
that those Democrats "who have
worked hard in the ranks and given
literally of their limited means to
maintain and keep the party up"
should now have a Glance at the
loaves and fishes. The correspond
ent truly says that "these men have
been asked to take a back seat for
the past six years, at all times ex-
cept when there was work to do
and money to raise" and he plain
ly hints that the practice will no
longer be tolerated. Senator
Reed comes in for his full share of
attention; but we cannot do better
than quote the correspondents own
words. He says:
Our senator has been identif ed with the
party since 1872, or in other words went
west with Greeley that year. Two years
subsequent he was elected senator, and ha 8
held that position four years, He has been
identified with the party six years. and
been in office four, not only as senator,
but on the state board of charities and re-
form, aud in fact, has absorbed every
thing for the last four years that rightfully
came 20 this county whether it was honor
AIRY or paying; and no doubt hns, from his
heavy appearance and gentlemany demeau-
or created The impression abroad that
the Democratic party of Jefferson county
has no other representa- man.

Hon, A. E. GILMORE, President of
the State Board of Charities and Re.
form was in Madison The other day,
and took occasion to free his mind as
regards the Delavan scandal, denounc-
ing the conclusions arrived at, and the
continuance of Prof. Denote as prin-
cipal of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum
Mr.. Gilmore was absent from the state
while the investigation was going on,
and says he purposely kept away
that he might have nothing to do with
it. We think Mr.. Gilmore would have
been entitled to more credit had he
renamed on the ground and faced the
music, than he is now. He can hard.
ly expect to escape his full share of
the responsibility under the circum-
stances, and it is coward'y for him to
now attempt to shoulder all the blame
for what he denounces as "a white
washing report upon others.

How is This I
Among recent Washington dispatch
es we find the following: .#.


Information from the Abbeviie Distrc t
in South Carolina is 10 the effect that the
Democrats have already begun system OF
terrorism to prevent Republicans from
organizing for national purposes, several of
the local papers in that section charging
that the Republicans of that vicinity have
completed ticket, aud that it is already
being circulated secretly among colored
voters, and upon this curious charge au at
tempt is being made to Stir up the white
citizens TO take this matter in hand. and
act in time, and act vigorously. In the
Edgeheld district, one of the local newspa
pers, in commenting upon this reported
secret action on the part of the Repubi.
cans, says that the same thing is feared in
Edge6eld county, and upon this urges that
two Republican,, who are supposed to be
the leaders in this movement should if
they dared to lift their heads o. fingers in
Political Vaccinations, be seized and hung
To use its own words: ayes, we mean
exactly what we say. If those named and
others ever dare to inaugurate political
schemes in Edgeield again, let US hang
them. Not only our own selt-respect, bat
our safety demands it, and that without
masks or disguise.
There must certainly be some mis-
take about this, for do we not read in
the Chicago Tribune, Milwaukee Sen
tinel and other papers of that stripe,
that everything is lovely down South
between the whites and the negroes?
They tel! us that there was never be-
fore such an era of good feeling in
that region; that the negroes were
never so happy and contented; that
they enjoy all their rights and privile-
ges under the law to the same extent
as the whites, and, 10 word, that the
condition Of things there, politically
and socially, could not possibly be i'm.
proved. Now all this theory is upset
by the dispatch above quoted, showing
that the contrary Of what is claimed is
true, and that really the negroes are
!sorse off now than they were before
the abolition Of slavery; and that their
only hope in the future lies in political
ostracsm, or utilization with the Demo-
cratic bull dozers.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-07-24

But the above is not the only
choice specimen falling from the
caustic pen of the Times CORES
pondent He goes on to say fur
Their:
Again we have dealt very lioerally in
this country with the liberals, consider
ing the fact that our county was strongly
democratic before their conversion. Had
these men changed the county from a re-
publican to a Democratic majority, then
they might claim that they were entitled
to all the offices. But the Democratic
party has done nobly by those men. Let
US see: Our senator, district attorney,
| county clerk, and superintendent of schools
were liberals of 1872, and are all on their
fourth year in office, having been demo-
Gratis six years or nearly so, and held office
four years out of the six, and are all set
ting mp the pins for Il third term, or some
thing better They advocate the one-term
principle to everyone but themselves.
Then 10 make their cl.im still stronger,
we have another, whose conversion dates
back only to tie Tiden campaign He
now wants to be taken into full member
ship, and is setting his pins for the Office
of district attorney.
Now, we submit that this last
paragraph is a little rough on our old
friend Nelson Bruett, who is lal-
luded to as having an eye on the
office of District Attorney. He has
not been in the Democratic party
long enough to have formed such
an attachment for it that rebutfs of
the kind above given may be adj
ministered with impunity, particu-
larly as there is no attraction in the
way of an office in his possession to
hold him. But Senator Reed, Dist
Atty. Rogers, County Clerk Hake,
and Supt. Collier have had teat
in their mouths long enough to
have become wonted, and cannot
be so easily driven of. They
have found the Democratic party
''prompt pay" and their experience
thus far in its ranks has been pleas
ant, because profitable. The Times
correspondent is entirely correct
when he says:
These gentlemen have satisfied the demo-
cratic party that they are liberal in asking
for, receiving, and sticking to Office, and
that they have 10 limit to cheek IN the
packing business. But they must under
stand that there is danger Of riding free
horse to death, and if they 60 on and
carry GU: these plans and forcing their
nomination, either by uniting with the
sheriff ring or otherwise, they must not
find fault if they hear something drop on
election night, and they find the other
party about to be installed in their place.
These gentlemen will find that there is a
point even in politics, when forbesrance
ceases &c be Il virtue
Assemblyman Finn may find
quid here which will not chew
pleasantly. Like the other gentle
men named Finn is recent convert
to the Democratic party. and not
withstanding he has been in office
continually since he turned his pol
itical coat, he is now clamoring for
more and aspiring to the senator
ship. If, as indicated, the Liberals
are to be sent to the rear, we sus-
pect they will at once lose all in
terest in the Democratic party.
But we shall see.
