Patch Grove Notes.

Col. May, of Vernon county, deliv-
cred q greenback address at this place
last Thursday evening
The Col. is local Methodist
preacher from Kentucky and by his
christian graces clinched Uncle Jared
Warner to the Greenback doctrine.
He told us that we can and ought
to pay the bonds, and all other in
debtedness with fat paper money !;
that by SO doing we would be freed
from the terrible oppression of capt.
alists and national banks.
He told us there were issued and in
circulation at one time S9l5, 900, 900
of legal tenders. He told us that there
is no value in the precious metals on
ly what the government gives them
by law, and that paper can be made
Just as valuable.
He told us that Henry Clay, Thorn
as Jefferson, and Sir Robert Peel, sr. /,
were fiatists. There are some things
the Col. did not tell us that we would
like to know.
He did not tell us whether it was
his "fiat," or the "fiat' of the legisla-
ture at Madison that made the dis
lance from Jefferson, Vernon county,
to Madison 200. He did not tell US
Gas he should) that when he repre-
sented his assembly district in the
legislature he drew mileage for 200
miles each way, He did not tell us
that his head was often sore when
conventions that he was a candidate
before did not nominate him and that
he bolted and ran independent.

a. F1rst-Class Nomination.

The Republicans of the first district in Grant
county have nominated Hon W. Z. Carter of
Platteville, for reelection to the Assembly. No
better selection of candidate could have
been made. Mr. Carter has represented his
district the past two years, and has proved
himself an able, industrious and accomplished
legislator. He is a lawyer of fine ability, and
clear and forcible speaker, and man that is
watchful of the best interests of the State He
is never caught asleep, or away from duty !;
he always knows what is going on, and permits
nothing 20 pass tho Assembly without his
knowing all about it and if measure is
wrong, he is sure to expose its errors in an
unmistakable manner. We are pleased to see
such men as Mr.. Carter returned to the Legis-
lature; they are credit to their constituent
cy and benefit TO the State. His people
will make sure his election.--Sidte Journal.

Remarks made by Mr. Jones at the
Methodist church last Sunday evening appear
TO need responsive explanation. He has i'm.
bibed from some source the impression tha.
the HERALD is not favorable to the temperance
cause. Members of the Good Templar Lodge
in Lancaster have had the same impression. It
is mistake. II is a mistake that must have
been created through some foxy effort. The
HERALD in its present hands. though not a
temperance organ has favorably noticed every
temperance movement of public interest that
has transpired in the county unless the Hoofs>
titler movement be excepted II compliments
ed Mr.. Kanouse's lecture and methods in the
very strongest terms. 1t had perhaps columns
of communications and notices and reports on
temperance doings in West Grant 1t gave
Mr.. Hastings and his movement. the very high
est praise. 1t has given notices OF local efforts
to the full extent asked. The little work
done in posters was done at cost and perhaps
double the amount returned to the society at
its pay entertainments. 1t gave all the
otice of the Hoofstitler movement thar
il was asked to give. But when the soci-
ETY. wanted handbils printed for that, they
went to the jockey priest with the Job, GER
tainly knowing there was nothing in common
between him and them. We attended the
meetings every evening when duty to family
would have kept US at home. Mr. Eaton was
away the first two evenings and the second
evening we expected to see the jockey priest
assist Mr. Brown at prayers, but we are told
he did not put his nose in the churches during
all the meetings. We congratulate the So
ciety on this result. Mr. Jones is mistaken
as to the HERALD's readiness to notice base
ball games, ETC. We notice nothing of the
kind. not even political conventions or agri.
cultural fairs unless those engaged in them
show their appreciation of such attentions.
Going away from the HERALD for printing was
saying, I'VE don't appreciate" We would
have cheerfnlly given the temperance meet
ings any notice the managers could ask even
to publishing the names of signers to the
pledge, but there was good chance for them
to go to the jockey priest for notices, and we
did not want to NEEDLE. Mr. Jones' laboring
under erroneous impressions, is excusab,e for
his remarks, but to wipe out the same erron-
eous impressions in the minds of others, and
in response to the dinging that has been
about our ears since 1--WE did not hear the re-
marks at the church) we feel compelled to
make this explanation.
