One and Two Dollar Notes.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-The
statement telegraphed from Washing
ton last week to some newspapers,
to the effect that the further issue by
the Treasury Department of 81 and So
notes had deem discontinued, is not
correct No orders whatever have
been given in reference to the further
issue Of notes of these denominations,
and all proper acquisitions for them
are being filled, as usual, by the Treas
urer. After January I, however.
the issue of national bank notes of the
denomination of 81 and So will cease,
and it is probable that in order to force
into circulation the standard silver dol.
lar the issue legal tenders of those de-
nominations will be curtailed, if not
discontinued entirely. The National
Banking act provides that no more than
one-sixth Of the notes furnished any
national bank shall be of less denomi-
nation than SIS, and it further provided
that after specie payments are resumes
no association shall be furnishe ed with
notes of less denomination than SIS.
Under this authority national banks
may demand, and the Secretary of the
Treasury has no power to withhold,
the issue of 81 and So notes equal to
one sixth of their authorized circula-
ton. It is not, likely, however, that
the banks will make such a demand,
as the amount of these denominations
issued to them has always been con-
siderably below the specified limita-
ton. According to the last report
of the Comptroller of the Currency,
che amount of 81 and So notes!issued
to national banks was only about &c.
100000, or less than one-eigbt of the
proportion to which they are legally
entitled. The small amount of these
notes is attributable in part to the
legal limitation, but more especially
to the time and labor involved in sign
ing them as we'll as the further fact
that legal tender notes of these denomi-
nations can be readily obtained at the
treasury.
The amount of United States 81
and 81 notes outstanding On November
L, 1877, was s49,4O7,0O which
amount was nearly equally divided
between the two denominations. In
GLIDING national bsnk notes, the total
amount of ones aud twos outstanding
on the date named above was S55 400
900. The act of May 81, 1878,
prohibits the further retirement and
cancellation oflegal tenders. But that
does not impair the authority of the
Secretary of the Treasury under Sec
ton 1911, Revised Statutes, to

THE growl of the Democrat last
week over the action of the hundreds
of democrats in this city who voted
for portion of the republican ticket
will not be apt to have any perceptib,e
effect. After the inconsistent course
of that paper in first boiling the nomi-
nation of Davis, for congress, and then
supporting it, the less it has to say
about not sticking to party nominal
tons the better. The crookedness of
Davis in pretending to be greenback-
er in Sank county, and an honest
money man In Jefferson county, was
more than the independent and intelli-
gent German democrats of Watertown
could stand. They therefore dropped
Davis, as they would hot potato, and
voted for Caswell, whom they knew to
be sound upon the finance question.
The managers of the democratic party
are prone to look upon goodly share
of the Watertown democracy as voting
cattle who will endorse any ticket lab
eled democratic. They demonstrated
last week that they are not such, nor
to be carried about in any mans peck
ct; and that when the democratic par.
ty abandons its time honored principles
it cannot count upon the support of the
honest democrats In Watertown. All
honor to them for their manly and in
dependent course, and for the lesson
which they taught the party tricksters
who hoped to wheedle them into .vot-
ing against their convictions

who was a candidate for reelection
to the senate in the Waushara district.
Result: He has majority of 1900
now, while two years ago he was
elected by only 222. Waukesha
county also came in for the Sentinel S
attention, and a bolt was advised
because "the machine was supposed
to have been put in operation there

both members of the assembly,

Sentinel most beautifully for its
insolence and interference. We
might extend this list but enough has
been said to show the harmlessness
of the Sentiners attacks, and the
feebleness of it's influence.

Hon. John u. Bullock.

If any one has reason to feel proud
over the result of last weeks cleo
ton, John D. Bullock is that man.
He defeated the most popular
democrat in the second assembly
district, and one whom it was sup
posed by his party friends could
not be beaten. To begin with, the
district is democratic by quite a
large majority. Mr.. Hoskins had
not only his own party behind him,
but he received every greenback
vote in the district, o5 per cent
of which came from the republican
side. The "anti-dammers" as they
are called, or those who are fighting
the Milford mill dam, voted to a
man for Mr.. Hoskins, and among
the number are several influential
republicans who worked early and
late against Mr.. Bullock. In Lake
Mills, Mr.. Hoskins received the
votes of some republicans on the
temperance issue, which also proved
damaging to Mr.. Bullock. But
MIR. B. overcame all the elements
of opposition, and comes out of the
contest with handsome majority.
His victory is one Of the grandest
achieved this fall. 1t certainly is far
more complimentary to him than
that which he won last year, when
we take into consideration the rela-
tive strength and popularity of the
persons against whom he ran. There
probably is no other republican in
the district who could have been
nominated and elected so handsome
ly as he was. And when we re-
member that Mr.. Bullock declined
to have his name used in connection
with the senatorial nomination, in
Difference to the wishes of his MANY
friends in that assembly district,
who insisted that he should run for
member IN order to save the district,
republicans everywhere owe him a
debt of gratitude for his patriotism
and self sacrifice. They will not
soon forget this, and they are all
glad to know that it has been par
TALLY rewarded by his glorious re-
election to the seat which he filled
with so much honor and credit last
winter.

tic votes in the town of F armington,
which gave him 81 majority while
at the same time the democratic
majority on some of the candidates
was I4o. Besides this, the entire
greenback vote (which came exclu-
sively from the republicans was
cast solidly for Hoskins. That
republicans voted for Hoskins is
true enough, but it was not done
in pursuance of any trade, and it
could not be prevented. With the
same propriety it might be claimed
that the republican ticket was sac
rificed here for the benefit of
Messrs. Caswell, Phillips, Steiner
and Sommerfield (who run SO large.
ly ahead, when every body knows
that there was not the least bargain
ing or selling out. Democrats
marched up to the polls in squads
and on their own motion voted for
the gentlemen above named because
they preferred them to their COM
petitors, and for 40 other reason.
That is all there is oft, and we are
SIRE RI at opxy o,,a o,, ~, oy,,,;,,+,o,,
of the figures will conclude that
what is true of the vote here is also
true of that in Lake Mills, and that
Mr.. Bullock's reduced vote there is
in no wise attributable to Mr.. Phil
lips; but is due wholly to Mr.. Hos
kins great personal popularity at
home.

It will be seen that Mr.. Phillips
received only 9 more votes than
Mr.. Caswell, and is IS behind Mr..
Steiner. The average republican
vote was $50, while Mr.. Phillips
vote was 26I. Certainly there is
nothing here to sustain the allega-
ton that he traded Mr.. Bullock o IF,
and we know that every effort was
made to keep Mr.Bullock even with
his ticket. The large vote cast for
Mr.. Hoskins is accounted for in
several ways. In the first place,
there is not more popular Demo
crat in the district. He stands we'll
at home, and it is not at all strange
that he should have received repub-
lican votes there, on his personal
merits, precisely as Mr.. Bullock for
the same reason received democrat

and the conveneuces Of business will

Jefferson County

One Of the remarkable victories for
the Republicans on Tuesday last was
the result in Jefferson county, where,
although the Democrats have usually
had majority running from 500 to
1000, Caswell, Republican, for con
gress, had some 400 majority: Phillips
Republican. for state senator, had
LOO majority, and the Republicans
elected two of the as mblymen.
This result is largely due to the fact
that the Republicans not only present
ed the best candidates, but put them
upon sound financial platform.
There is large German population in
the county, and that has little liking
for soft money, If there are yet any
Republicans who think it wise to con-
cede anything to the soft money senti-
ment In the manufacture of platforms
or the selection of candidates they
have failed to comprehend the results
of the elections. A holder stand for
hard money in some localities, notably
the northern and northwestern part of
the state would have resulted to the
still more marked advantage of the
party. A firm and unequivocal stand
for principle is always best in politics
as in private affairs. The average
voter respects the sincerity of convic
tons, especially when those conviction
can be shown to be founded upon COR
rect:principles. -Mluouhee Wisconsin,

Taking Credit to Which it is not
Entitled.

The Milwaukee Sentinel take S
great credit to itself for the result
of the resent election, and evidently
thinks that but for it everything
would have gone to the demnition
howwows. We are always willing
to give the devil his due and have
no objection to awarding the Sen
ttneI all the glory it is entitled to.
But we cannot forbear reminding
the Sentinel of f act or two which
Is entirely pertinent. For instance,
it took special pains during the
campaign to pitch into Mr.. Caswell
charging him with having made ga
dicker" with E. W. Keyes for the
congressional nomination, in con-
sideration of which Caswell was to
help Reyes into the =. S. Senate.
The Sentinel went so far as to sug-
gest that Mr. Caswell's defeat
under the circumstances would be
preferable to his election. It also
1ntimated, when it published Demp.
Ostrander's letter, that another
righteous performance would be
the defeat of our Legislative can
didates whom it charged had been
nominated by "the nachine'' in the
interest of Keyes. So much fol-
the SentinsTs action. Now what
did the people do about it? Water
towr: gave Mr.. Caswell 225 MAORI
ty, and the county gave him a
majority of $50, which is a
gain for him in the city of 900, and
IN the county gain of 1870, over
two years ago. Watertown gave
Charley Phillips, for senator, 1913
majority, and the county gave him
majority of 400, which is a gain
IN the city of 1900, over two years
ago, and in the county a gain of
z8oo. We elect two republican
members of the assembly in demo-
cratic distric is, (which is a gain of one.
So much for Jefferson county, the
affairs of which the Sentinel under
fsok to regulate without anybody's
asking it.
But this is not all. The Sentinel
advised the republicans of Dane
county to "bolt'' Burroughs, their
candidate for senator, because he is
a friend of Reyes. The result is
MIR. Burroughs is reelected by over
100 majority, while two years ago
he went in by 4oS. The Sentinel
also made war on Hobe Sackett,

is mistake; particularly that the
charge is not true as against senator
