Notwithstanding for congress.
GEN. BRAGG is the ablest member Wis
consin ever had in the house of repre-
sentatives. Talent should count for a
great deal in an Office Of that character
where it is a sine qua non.
JEROME PIERCE's high reputation as
an officer of the law has extended far
beyond the county. If the people of
Manitowoc want an officer in whom they

they viii elect Jerome.

the Commonwealth withdraws the light

DIR. PRITcHARD is too good a doctor
to electioneer well. He is philanthro-
pist and will give his enLire salary, if
DR.. Simon permits, to some deserving
young man struggling with adversely.
Nor a word of complaint has ever been
uttered against the official record of the
present county officers who are candida
ties for reelection this fall. 1t is to the
| interest of the people Of the county to
elect officers of approved efficiency.
| 4. J. SCHAIITz never shirked his duty
as district attorney, though during the
| two years he has been in Office he has
| had no sinecure. His reelection will be
the beet assurance that the duties of the
| Office will be properly administered.
IF honesty and the strictest attention
| to business pass for anything with the
voters of Manitowoc county, DAIMLER will

majority. Let the size of his majority
attest the peoples recognition of Of
fetal faithfulness.
Mr.. JOHN CAREY, the democratic nom
inee of the first district is one of the
best men in the state nominated for the
| Assembly. The people OF that district
should labor to give him a large majority
rep sitS tneln a0ly III the Legislature.
JOHN ?. WIoKERT has successfully
demonstrated his fitness for the office of
county clerk. Those who have transact
ed business with him are as much pleas
ed with the urbanity of the man as with
the excellence of the officer. He has made
many friends and scarcely an enemy.
| The people of the county will not fail to
properly appreciate his merits.
The report that Hon. Henry Wits had
| declined 10 accept the nomination for
tie Assembly from the 3rd district is, we
| are glad to say. untrue. Mr.. Wits Is 60
| ing to buckle on his armor and enter the
political lists determined to win. There
can be no doubt of his success as no
| man in the district stands higher IN the
estimation of the people.
| EVERY intelligent man in the first dis
trict will not fail to speak in the highest
| terms of Mr.. John Carey. We have
| known him long and intimately and ever
| found him an honest man ana oompe-
| tent officer. The first district is demo-
cratic and it will speak well for the in
| teligence of its people to give John
Carey majority SO large as to show
full appreciation of what constitutes fit
ness for Office.
GEN. BRAGG is by no means fiatist
as his political opponents are anxious to
! have believed. He believes in Green
backs, as a circulating medium, based on
| gold aud silver. He is too intelligent q
| man, too close 4 student OF history to
believe in an irredeemable paper cur
rency. Honest money men need have
no fears, that he will advocate any
scheme which may result disastrously to
the country.
HENRY NiTs' popularity in the Bird
districJ must overcome pretty large
republican majority. We have no doubt
that it is equal to the task. But every
democrat should put in good work for
him during the time preceding the CON-
ing election. Mr.. Wits in running makes
quite personal sacrifice and this fact
should stimulate democrats generally to
give him all the assistance in their power.
Bot few democrats could. be elected in
the district and Mr.. Wits should receive
as sistance commensurate with the diff
culties he has to overcome.
The Fond du Lac Commonwealth is
evidently one of that class who meaure
propriety by their own conceit, a Cloten
among newspapers. 1t made charges
against the PILOT as ungracious as they
were unfounded by the cowardly means

through some grand conception of his
own transcendent genius, fancies that he
can assail the reputation of others with
impunity, on evidence which dissolves
b fore the slightest exercise of reason.
The PnoT got mad whines this chiv- |
alrous editor, ''and gave q column of |
