serve the State in the Senate, and none of
them are without hope. All are busy man
ipulating conventions, and trying to forestall
their rivals in the affections of the dear
people. The prospect is, therefore, that the
campaign will not be as harmonious as Chair
man Rublee hoped and enjoined. He has
already found that political campaign can
not be ca, ried on upon unselfsh principles !;
Tat men will not work for the success of a
party without hope of reward. Nor will a
man who hopes to reach the United States
Senate forego the att-' pit, at least, to secure
the election of his political friends to the
legislature. Disinterestedness is very beau
tifulin theory, but difficult, if not impossible,
of practice in politics.
The discussions in the Republican party
afford the opportunity of the Democracy.
BY taking Mr.. Rublee's advice to his own
followers -subordinating everything to the
success of the legislative ticket-they can
carry the State at the coming election, and
send to Washington good, thorough
going Democrat as their representative in
the Senate They cannot afford to conduct
the campaign in the especial interest of any
candidate for the Senatorship, but should
unite all interests for the one single purpose
of winning the day. The prize is worth
contending for, and by united, harmonious
action the Democrats of Wisconsin can win it.

The best way to assist Kearney and his
coadjutors in their agitation is to give them
publicity. If the newspapers had not made

fifty cents load in San Francisco instead
of being recognized as the leader of large

If, as is confidently asserted, Tilden is
laboring hard for the Presidential nomin-
alton in 1880, he has adopted the wrong
policy. The people do not want man who
avows his principles through a second party,
evidently with the purpose of being able to
disavow them if the occasion should arise.
They much prefer such men as Hendricks,
Thurman, Bayard and Voorhees,, who are
not afraid to declare their sentiments on the
stump and to defend them against all at
tacks. A still hunt won't win.

Eyerv person WHO mas kept the run OF Tue

and paradoxical though the conclusion
may appear, the conviction is forcing
itself upon the public that it is fast
becoming highly disreputable to be respect
able. The reason for this conviction is
found in the large number of men of the
highest responsibility, occupying positions
of trust, who have of late proved recreant,
and by the most barefaced swindling de-
frauded their employers or the public that
trusted them out of large amounts of money.
The record of the past six months in New
England alone is sufficient to cast slur
upon responsibility. Chace, the f IL River

We find the above in the Wythc>
vile DIsPATCH of last week, but
it reached our office after we had
printed our article on Mr. Ludwig
on the first page Of this issue OF
the News. In the card Mr.. Lud-
wig is wholly mistaken in saying
our information "was written by
j. @. Watts of Tazewell." We
have not heard a word from Mr..
Watts on the subject in any way
whatever. The information reach>
ed us through other channels en-
tirely. The mistake of saying Mr..
Ludwig had made the remark in a
SPEECH was our own. Mr.. Watts
is wholly innocent of conveying to
us any information whatever, on
the subject. OF course Mr. Lud-
wigs charge against Mr.. Watts, as
it is based on the presumption that
Mr.. Waits wrote to US, now falls.
We hope the whole matter will
be dropped, as we are perfectly
satisfied with Mr.. Ludwig's dis
claimer, and of course he must be
as to Mr.. Watts having written it.
Our own remarks were carefully
based on the supposition that we
had been correctly informed.

Death of Abiiah Fowler.

ler's arithmetic, for number of years
extensively used in the schools of
this county, died at his home on Cain
Creek twenty miles east of Madison
vile, on Sunday last. He was about
Y years old, and a much respected
citizen, and his loss will be deeply
felt by the community in which he
lived.
There are traits in the character
and events in the life of Abijah
Fowler, which busy world might
with profit, pause and consider. But
the eagerness and impulses of a life
in this age cause mankind to press
forward over good names, and the
fairest lives with little more than a
passing thought, The waves of passiol
crowd out the good and lovely of the
past. and they pass from view forev-
err. Abijah Fowler was a man of un-
bounded energy, lofty purposes and
the brightest honor. His opinions
were of the most positive nature be-
cause he had the most intolerant ha-
tired of wrong, and the writer Of this,
who knew him we'll, is witness Of the
fact, that his fittings leaned to vir>
tues side. Often have we in boy
hood sat on his knee, aud leaned our
head npon that breast beneath which
beat one of the largest and most
manly hearts of earth. He was a ge>
MUS in mathematics. and if he had
been unencumbered by domestic cares
could have occupied one of the chairs
in the most distinguished Universities
of the land.
