James X. Ryder Bond Holder.

We learn upon what we consider reliable
authority that James X. Ryder, the Demo
cratic candidate for senator in this dis trct,
is holder of Waterloo railroad bonds, and
has always opposed every effort on the part
of citizens there for compromise. Mr.
Ryder has consulted his own interest in
stead of that of the community in which
h. liTes. Doubtless Mr.. Ryder has a right
to do this, but the people have rights also
which they will do well to exercise by re-
memberng Mr.. Ryder's action when they
loo who visited Madison last spring to labor
with the revsers against the insert on of
Section AGO, as agreed upon by them,
which it will be rem bered occasoned so
much apprehension here, received no aid
Or sympathy from Mr.. Ryder. Indeed, he
secretly worked against the committee and
endeavored to procure such legislation AS
would make Waterloo pay dollar for dollar
principal and interest, on its bonds, because
it was money in his pocket to have this
done. This being so. Mr.. Ryder would be
a dangerous representative in the legisla-
ture so far as Waterloo and this city are
concerned. We want 20 man in the assem-
bly, or senate who will not faithfully guard
the Interests OF the people against the Shy
locks who are seeking to Cypress them. The
voters of Waterloo and Watertown cannot
be too vigilant in the selection of thvse
whom they choose to represent them at
Madison. They want no enemy is disguise,
and clearly Mr.. Ryder cannot be relied up
on As their friend

Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Ross, wife of Ninian Ross,
formerly of this city, died of intermittent
fever at Adam Mills, Coshockon Co, Ohio,
September Sd, 1878. Mr.. and Mrs. Ross re-
moved from Watertown about three years
ago, and this sad news will be learned with
deep regret by the numerous friends of the
family.
Mrs. Margaret Finley, died at the resi-
dence Of her sister, Mrs John Masterson. in
Emmett, Saturday, Sept. 2lst, 1878, in
the 10th year of her age, after long illness.
Mrs. Finley was sister of James Rogan
and Patrick Rogau of this city, and came
here from New Orleans in June last, hoping
that change of climate would benefit her
condition. Mrs. Finley leaves son and a
daughter both residents of New Orleans.
The deceased was q native of Rossglass,

The Coming County Convention.

Do not fail to note the call for the Re-
publican County Convention to be held Oct.
5th. We trust there will be full delega-
ton from all the towns. A good ticket
shonld be placed in nomination, and in or
der to make the proper selection of candi-
dates, there should be due attention given
to the choice of delegates to the end that
wisdom may prevail in the deliberations of
the convention. We may not elect our
ticket, but 1t is nevertheless proper and es-
sential that one should be placed in the field
precisely the same as if its success is assur-
ed There is great dissatisfaction with the
Democratic ticket, and it will be an easy
matter to confront i. with oae vastly better
aud more deserving of support. The i'm
portance of wise action at this time cannot
be over estimated, and it viii be mistake
if the Republica rs do not act with delber-
alton and forethought. We can at least
place a ticket in nomination that ought to
be elected, though it may not be. Let us
do our full duty in the premises and the
responsibility for what follows is not with
our party.

musical organizations of the city, namely

on the occasion, and were assisted by Prof
Hooper. pianist, Miss MpIIie Evans, of Nil
waukee, and Miss NJ Maurer, of Oconom o.
Voc. fine programme, comprising
choice vocal and instrumental selections
was successfully rendered during the even
ing and received with every evidence
of approval by the large audience present.
The entire success attending the entertain
ment reflects great credis upon those who
had the management in charge. The net
proceeds of the concert amounted to $l64-
20, another very handsome contribution
from Watertown for our suffering southern
brethren.
Watert owns contributions to the south
from all sources up to this time foot up
about S76i, a very differing showing for
the charitable dis position of our people.

The Democratic candidate for senator in

friend, pretends that Mr. Ryder is man
who won.d shine in the legislative halls,
either by reason of his attainments or his
experience as a law-maker But there are
to be so inexcusably ignorant and illiterate
as is shown by the following letter written

Tax on Sample Cigars.

Mr.. Raum, Commissioner of Interna |
Re. enue, has written an opinion regarding
boxes of cigars used by statesmen as samples
on which no stamps are affixed. aud which
are not branded or labelled, the sample
boxes being re6iled from stamped boxes.
Commissioner says while he recognizes the
apparent necessity Of the use of sample
boxes by cigar manufacturers who employ
travelling statesmen, and their right to send
out samples in that way, provided the sam
pie boxes are not sold or offered for sale,
and are Away filled and reiilIed from boxes
ofcigars whichhave been properly packe dand
stamped land on cigars on which the tax has
BEEN fully paid, still be thinks these sample
boxes should be small ones, and should
never contain the number allowed to the
smallest legal package. He suggests that
sample boxes should be made not to contain
more than twenty or twenty one cigars, and
labelled sample boxes, and permits the
manufacturers TO fill and refill these sample
boxes with cigars on which tax has been
paid, and use them through their travelling
statesmen without branding or stamping
them.
