N Otes.

In speaking OF the ladies' stand yesterday,
we noticed the fact that ladies were not adj
by member of the club. We were gratified
to learn yesterday that this old rule has been
abolished some time ago, and now gentlemen
can take their ladies to the same stand where
those Of the club sit.
We desire to call the attention OF the club to
the fact that 1t sometimes works considerable
confusion on the stand when the numbers of
the horses are not put up before the start in
the sliding from near the judges stand.
When horse Is scratched late there are many
who never hear it announced at the pool
stand, and lay their money on him, play or
pay. We believe it 1t generally customary to
put up starters numbers on Northern and
English courses, and it should bs done here.
coat Of paint on the quarter-pOsts would
render them more visible to the naked eye
which would materially assist timers in talk
We were pleased to see that there was some
thing like discipline on the track yesterday.
Jockeys did not smoke in the members
stand and lounge about.
Things might be expedited, we think, If
there were less delay between the Mces. Yes
terday. between the second and third races,
there was Il full half hour.
The Pools.
Last night at Cathcart's pool sale there
was god crowd present and betting was
lively. The races are first hurdle race OF
two miles with five starters, next q selling

another year is to bring forth. What
the nation needs is more and cheaper
money. The example of England
should be sufficient to lead us into
the path of unparalleled prosperity.
More than hundred years ago her
statesmen discovered that redundant
money and low interest would set in
motion all her industrial energies
and make her the workshop and the
arsenal of the world. This became
the national policy, and the profits
of her spindles and of her forges
have since then enriched her beyond
measure. She. is to-day the creditor
of every nation Of Christendom. Her
policy rules the finances of the world.
The rise or the fall of single point
on the scale of her money barometer
thrills every commercial center of
the globe. Some would to-day give
her a second place in The rank OF ma.
tons since the artillery of the Car
has brought the naughty Turk to
terms. But gold is the sinew Of war.
1t is stronger than battalions or
senates. 1t is the bulwark of Eng.
lish commerce, independence and
empire. No continental nation can
Withstand her in single combat. She
is the virtual sovereign of Europe,
and will remain thus so long as her
financial policy remains unchanged.
Let the United States take lessons
in finance and political economy
from England in establishing do.
mestic policy. The same sagacity,
tact and selfshness will place us,
with our inexhaustible resources Of
raw material, at the front rank Of ma
tions as producer Of fabrics. 1t is
mong the possibilities of the future
for US, within single decade, to oo.
cupy the very same position in the
realm Of manufacture now occupied
by England. Sound craftsmanship
is all that is needed to create the
condition. +. "Chronicle."

Last year the result in New Hamp-
shire on governor was as follows:
Prescott, (Rep.) 4O,755; Marcy,
Dem 36,721. Republican majority,
4,034. Returns now in, indicate a
result not much different from that
Of last year. There may be slight
reduction Of the Republican majority,
owing to the sullen refusal of a few
anti Hayes men to vote; but it can't
amount to much. Parties are re.
latively unchanged. Down east the
labor reformers and greenbackers
have no political organization or ex-
istence, and the old parties are un-
disturbed. A Republican majority
in the Legislature of New Hamp.
shire assures the election of Repub-
lican Senator in Wadleigh.

The Republican County Ticket.

Saturday last the Republicans of Jetler-
which appears at the head of our columns
this week The convention was one of the
largest and most harmonious ever
held by the party in the county, every
town and ward being represented. The
ticket selected was the result of the deliber-
alions of an intelligent body of men whose
big hest aims and purposes were to guard
the best in terests of the people of the coun-
ty by choosing set of candidates who if
called upon to serve in official capacity
would be found trustworthy, capable and
honest in the discharge OF their duties.
The ticket is an excellent one from top to
bottom. The personal ftuess of each one
of the candida ties cannot be questioned and
in the distribution OF the nominees over the
county God judgment has been exc rcised
and fairness sho wn TO each locality. r.u
A majority of the nominees were not
selected from one place and that place the
head quarters of political ring that has
been mani pulating the Offices foryears past,
in this respect showing most favorable
contrast to the democratic ticket. The Re-
publican ticket does credit to the Republi-
cans of Jefferson County and it should re
ceve the support not only of every Re-
publican but every voter of the. county who
would see the best in terests of the county
subserved and the Offices placed in the hands
of good and efficient nen. Every candi.
date on the Republican county ticket de-
serves triumphant election. g. la.

A Good EndOrse ment.

The Madison Journal has this to s ay con-
corning our nomination fer state senator:
"The Republicans of Jefferson county
nominated strong county ticket on Satur-
day, and are going to do their bes: to elect
it, For Senator, Hon. Charles Fl. Phillips,
of Lake Mills, is the candidate. This is a
splendid nomination, aud one that should
receive the support of all good men in the
county. Phillips is an old resident of the
county, has represented his district several
times in the Assembly, and has always done
it faithfully and well. He is an intelligent
and experienced farmer, who gives much ate
tention to stock raj sing. He is an able re
preventative man of the people, who is ever
true to their best interests. Should the
people OF jefferson county elect Mr..
Phillips to the Senate, they will have in
that body a representative of ability and
experience, and one whose integrity and
uprigh:ness of character was never question
ed. 1t would be well for the state if the
Senate could be composed of men possessing
the wisdom and strong common sense of
Hon. Charles h. Phillips, who, we trust,
will represent Jefferson county during the
next two years"

Has Mr.. Ryder Been Mis-K epres snted.

Has Mr.. Ryder Been Mis-K epres snt ed.
The Jefferson Banner and the Water
town Democrat, complain that we have
''iied about and abused ar James K.
Ryder, the Democratic candidate for sena-
tor. We insist that we have done nothing
of The kind. If telling the truth about their
candidate hurts the feelings of the Banner
and the Democrat, we cannot help it. We
have not said anything regarding Mr.Ryder
that is not trae, and we purpose TO adhere
strictly to facts in all that we may say con-
corning him hereafter. We have said that
he is unf for senator, and be is. To prove
it, we have produced one of MIR Ryder's
letters, the genuineness of which the Ban.
ner and the Democrat have not dared to
deny, which shows that in the matter of
composition and spelling he does not take
ra nix with an eight year old school boy.
We have also said that Mr.. Ryders posi-
ton with reference to the bonded indebted
ness of Waterloo is not such as to make
him safe and reliable representative of
our interests in the legislature. That he
has opposed the efforts of the best citizens
in his town and village for compromise
upon such terms as they. have felt able to
offer, is fact which cannot be successfully
denied. His course there has been cry
much the ame as that of erta parties
here, who they are not the Immediate
holders Of eur bonds, have them in tee
hands OF sane convenient friend W ho nom
inally contpls them. This information we
| have upon he best authority, and it comes
from men who have official cognizance of
what they say. Watertown and Water
loo, having an unsettled bonded
Indebtedness cannot be too careful
in the selection of their represe ntatives
They canno afford to take any chances.
They mus, be certain that they send to the
Legislature men VINO will not barter away
their interests and play into the hands of
the bond holders And for the reason that
we believe uIder the circumstances Mr..
Ryder is not asafe man in this respect, we
, hare warned, and again warn, the people
Of WATERFOWL and Waterloo, who are op-
pressed with bonded debt, to see that
they do not pace themselves in position
where they my be betrayed.
