promise of reward, to guide me to some
habitation where could pass the night.
When made this proposal, with the
offer of money for his trouble, could
see his eyes glitter under his, shaggy

such accommodation as he could give,
he would take me to his own cottage

The man took the horse by the bride
and led him on, Lion following close at
my heel, still, by an occasional growl,
protesting against the arrangement.
After proceeding a few hundred yards
my conductor turned off the main road
to causeway leading to the right
through the swamp. By this time bare
ly light enough remained to render
discernible the sullen pools that lay
here and there on each side; while,
rising out of the marsh patches of high
er ground were visible as we passed
along. These were apparently planted
with Osiers and alder trees, and doomed
dark like little islets in the midst of the
sea of mist that cover the fens. To-
ward one of these the man directed his

of thick foliage, but which proved to be
an clubhouse. found afterward that
it was constructed of wicker-work
plastered over with mud. Many of the
willow twigs had taken root, and COW

green.
The horse having been relieved of
saddle and bride, and led into this
primitive stable, where few handfuls
of hay and q drink of water had to
serve him for supper, followed my
guide into the cottage, saddle-bags in
hand. He at first made some objection
to Lions entrance, suggesting that he
might remain in the stable, but to this

admitted, though with bad grace. l

The Supreme Issue.

Can any rational man doubt, says the
Cincinnati Gazette, that the election of
Democratic Congress and President
would fasten these Confederate war
claims upon the nation? Is not this is
sue as plainly before tie country as if
it were written on the Democratic
banners, and laid down in Democratic
platforms? This is the greatest ques-
ton of finance, taxation and money
that is now before the country. Com
pared with this, the miserable cheese.
pairing reckoning of what can be gain
ed by swapping of greenbacks for
bank notes is a preteuce of saving
at the spigot while wasting at the
buog. The payment of the Southern
claims is the great issue which Thur
man, Hendricks, Sayler and the rest
are trying to cover up, and which they
dare not squarely meet. 1t is an is
sue which is as plainly in this canvass
as if it had been declared by their con
vention. 1t is more than this, for it
is supreme over these Democratic cam
didates and platforms.

A Democratic War CRY.

"Vote for Democrats because they
are Democrats is the doctrine preach
ed by the Watertown Democrat, and
which is religiously observed by the
faithful. 1t is true in local affairs not
only. but likewise in the politics of the
county. An over dose of Democracy
is what ais Watertown and Jefferson
county. The party is so strong that it
dares to make nominations which are
not only distasteful to the masses of the
people, but oftentimes absolutely dis
graceful. Look at the appalling fig.
ures in the tax levy for the present
year in this city. But nothing better
can be expected until the tax payers
shall see to it that the reins of govern
ment are placed in more worthy hands.
If perchance level headed, conserva.
tive and careful business man finds bis
way into the council, as is the case
sometimes, he is outvoted by the bum

thing their own way, and the influence
of the former amounts to naugat. So

Democrat wheels into line, voting the

been prepared for him, as if he likes

It is with just pride that we are
able to announce the denomination
of Hon. L. B. Caswell for Congress
by the Republican Convention as
sembled at Madison, Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 10th. After the announce
ment of the 1st informal ballot, re-

Barden of Columbia II, Wood
man, of Sank, II, Chandler, of
Dane, I, on motion the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Caswell was made UNI
animous. We believe the result in
November will Justify the wisdom
of this action on the part of the
Republicans of the Second Dis

THE Milwaukee Sentinel alludes to
the "Watertown REPUBLICAN and its

that our Republicanism does not suit
the high-toned editor of that sheet.
We freely admit that if the Sentinel
is good and reliable Republican pa
per, this one certainly IL not. We
have not yet worked up to that pitch,
attained by the Sentinel man, where
We think it comes within the line OF

be set down as settled fact that
George W. Bird and DR.. w. W. Reed
