Will find out its Mistake.

The Democrat says our candidate
for senator "has plenty of money and
not many friends" We can tell the
Democrat that it will find Charley
Phillips has more friends than it wishes
he had. The result of the election on
each OF the three occasions when be
was a candidate for Member in the I'd
assembly district, showed that he had
plenty of friends-enough to defeat
each time the most popular Democrat
who could be brought against him.
A Republican who can succeed there
against such odds as Mr.. Phillips over
come-the Democratic majority in the
district being between 800 and 400
is no ordinary man, and has stronger
hold upon the support and confidence
of the people than is usually found.
Compare this record, aud the vote
which Mr.. Phillips always receives in
Lake Mills, where be invariably runs
largely ahead of his ticket, with the
probable home endorsement which Mr..
Ryder will receive in Waterloo. Not
less than 100 Democrats in that town
and village will vote against him. In.
deed, be will be the worst beaten man
there who ever came before the people
for their sufrages. If the Dam ocrat
had said of Mr.. Ryder that he has
"plenty of money and not many friends"
it would have hit the nail squarely on
the head, and uttered palpable truth.

THE wise fnanciers who purpose to
abolish tie National banks and substi-
tute greenbacks for the bank-notes,
would do we'll to reflect that, even if
the Constitution allowed the issue
were not fragrant violation of the
Nations pledge never to exceed the
$500, 100000 limit fixed by law, and
if the currency, robbed of that elastic
end" for which they have always
clamored, lwouId be as safe and useful
as it now Lis, after all, this scheme
would be losing operation for the
Government in the way of direct in
come, to say nothing of the evils which
would follow from the shock gwen to
the public credit. A Greenback can
not be taxed, and this scheme would
at once subtract one-third of billion
of dollars from the taxable property
of the country. And seven if bonds
should be purchased with this new is
sue assuming that the enforced SUBJ
stitution of non-interest-bearin pro-
mise for one which yields interest can
be called a purchase-the annual IN
terest saved:to the Government would
be less than the amount now paid to
the Government in taxes by the banks
which it is proposed to sweep away.

The Fiat-Greenback Lunacy.

One thing is sure-dead certain
and that is that the National Green
back "fat money" !unacy received its
death blow in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa
last week. That party is no long.

an abortion, small bag Of wind
that has burst. In Ohio, where it had
its birth, it has been etfectually stran-
gled. In Indiana, where it has been
making great noise for two years
past, it has accomplished nothing at
all In Iowa, when it rushed into the
arms of the Democracy as a last des-
perate resort, tie Republicans have
carried every thing before them, ex.
cept two members of congress which
squeeze in on the Democratic.G reen,

the news to Romance E. Davis and

About Boiling.

The Democrat last week gave Mr.
j. K. Ryder this quiet dig under the
fifth rib:
'.Heads | win, tails you lose" will never
preserve the harmony of any party If you
submit your claims to the arbitration of a
convention and get left, "try, try again. .
but do not look to the opposition to right
your wrongs, and above ALL do not make a
fool of yourself.
In 1870, Mr.. Ryder submitted his
claims to the Democratic county con-
vention as candidate for senator, and
was "scooped." He took revenge
upon the regular nominee by running
against him. Doubtless, now that the
Democrats attention is called 10 the
fact. it will administer fitting rcbuke
to Mr.. Ryder for docking to the oppo-
sition to right his wrongs, and making
a fool of himself"

Ryder as the Greenback Nominee for
Senator.

The Democrat, seeing the narrow
escape it had from being allied upon
to support the greenback can didate
for senator, is quite jubilant and is
inclined to be facet Gus. The editor
we'll knows that Mr.. Ryder, through
his own exertions and aided by his
faithful aud trusted lieutenants w. L.
Hoag, Mart. Hutchinson and W. F.
Bond Of Waterloo left no means un-
tried to secure the greenback endorse
ment. It knows further that Mr..
Ryder, since the declination of Mr..
Bullock, has made his bid: and liberal
one too, for sreenback support. When
it pretends that Mr.. B ullock or Mr..
Phillips, or any friend for either of
these gentlemen sought to secure
their nomination by the greenback
convention, it tells what it knows to be
untrue. Possibly it thinks that by
raising dust it may afford Mr.. Ryder
chance to retreat from his discom6t.
ure unnoticed; but he has been too
public in his billing and cooling with
the greenbackers to deceive any body
with pretence that he has Aot been
counting their support. Of course. it
is embarrassing for the Democrat,
while denouncing the greenbackers,
to realize that its favorite candidate
has espoused their cause and made
bid for their votes. Aud when we
say "bid" We mean one that carries
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-10-16

THE Democrat reminds us that we
had nothing to say about "Ryder's bad
spelling or his holding Waterloo
bonds" when he run for senator in
1870. Very probably this is so; in
fact we are almost certain that such is
the.fact, in as much as his letter to Mr..
Andrews was not written until 1873;
and the fact of his investment in
Waterloo bonds has not been suspected
until the last three or four years. We
could not we'll have referred in 1870
to matters which did not transpire for
some years afterwards. But the Demo
crat is SO very stupid as to not have
thought of this.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-10-16

But change was wrought in Mr.. Ost-
rander few years ago when he wanted
the Republican nomination for Secre-
tary of state, and Keyes with his usual
sagacity and Judgment declined to
favor so ridiculous proposition. From
that moment Reyes, in Ostrander's es-
timation, has been very bad man.
Every body in Jefferson county knows
what ails Demp. but perhaps the Sen
t,ne1 does not; hence we acquaint it
with the facts and hope that in the
future it will assign him politically
where he belongs.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel has made
frequent references to the letter it
published last week written by D.mp.
Ostrander to- resident of Jefferson.
in which Mr.. Ostlander volunteers
certain advice to Jefferson county
Republicans. The Sentinel, whether
mistakingly or otherwise we will not
undertake to say, al]udes to Mr.. O,tran-
der as Republican, and tries to i'm
press upon Republicans the importance
and propriety of listening to his coun-
sci. 1t is proper we should inform
the Sentinel that Jefferson county Re-
publlcans have no occasion to consult
Mr.. Ostrander and will not give heed
in the least to his suggestions. he is
political tramp who cut loose from
the kRepublican party years ago
and joined the Reform party with a
capital r. and has been blowing with
the Democrats ever since. Aud Re-
publicans hereabouts would no sooner
think of following any line of policy
suggested by him than they would en-
dorse one offered by the Milwaukee
Sentlnel-neither he nor it being con-
sldered as deserving the confidence
and support of Republicans anywhere.
Mr.. Ostrander vents his spleen at
Hon. E. W. Reyes, and the Sentinel
applauds his sentiments. But Mr.. Os.
trander did not always think SO unkind-
ly of Mr.. Keyes. He was once his
staunch friend and ardent admirer.

Square-TOed Democracy.

Elsewhere we publish a letter writ
ten by an old line Democrat rsiding
in Rock county, giving his reasons for
voting the Republican ticket. The
arguments used are precisely as appli.
cable to Jefferson comfy, and We com.
mend them to the attention and con-
slderation of Democrats here, who can.
not fail to see the soundness and cor.
rectness of the conclusions arrived at.
The "what-is.it platform" las the
Democrat very appropriately calls the
one on which Romano E. Davis is
running for congress) is not in harmo
ny with the true sentiments and con-
vlctlons of majority of Democrats,
who believe in honest money and are
opposed to the "fat" luuacy of heir
party leaders. With this tructling
disposition to abandon principles for
spoils, the masses of their party have
reason to be dissatisfied, and the only
course left to them is to follow MIR.
Rabbits example and vote their con-
victions, even if 10 so doing they must
support Republicans.

Clinton Rabbit, OF BelOit. Writes a
Letter to the Chicago Tri bune.

HEMDoKA Stock FARM, BELo1r,
Wis, Oct 9.-Your editorial of the
9Th inst referring to Rock County
wisconsin, politics, misrepresents one
Democrat, at least (having reference to
the Republican ticket.) And, as | am
not candidate for office and never ex
pect to be, | will risk letter and de
fine more correctly my position and
that of hundreds of other Democratic
voters in the First Wisconsin District.
[ stated at the Williams mass meeting
Saturday night that upon the day of
election should take my ticket with
me to the polls, and, with pencil in
hand, read it carefully, and when | saw
the name of an honest Democrat,
Democrat from principle, and one who
was in favor OF the present currency of
the cOuntry-gold, silver, National
Bank bills, and greenbacks that name
| would retain and surely vote. But
if CHANGED to find the printed name
of man which did not represent
Democrat, of one who had no faith in
the established princip pies of Democracy
upon the subject of finance, that name
| would erase from my ticket and write
in its place the name of an honest Re-
publican who did believe with me In
sound circulating medium, based upon
gold and silver. After election, wire
pullers and endmen can understand ex
actly what my sort of Democrats mean
to do with present issues. | am no
devoted lover of Republcanism, and
never voted the ticket 10 my life. When
a Democrat of the Douglas stripe, op-
posed it, and as Democrat ran upon
Democratic platform In the days
of Rebellion, false councillors imposed
upon us false positions But the
Democrats of the fret District uttered
their solemn protest and sustained the
honor OF the flag. We will now as
heartily condemn renegade Republicans
and trading Democrats who. for party
Office and power, misrepresent US and
our time IGNORED faith. My first vote
for an honored son Of New Hampshire
10 the Granite State was headed
"Democratic-Republican Ticket" The
name is significant, and [ have faith
that the representatives of Republican
ism and true Democracy will unite in
common interest and paterna! union
in sustaining national integrity and
the coequal interests of Labor and
Capital. Yours truly,
CLINTON BABBITT.

greenbacks with it. Ryder stands
ready to put up money against the
greenbackers ''put up" of his name on
their ticket, but the latter have great
objections to the arrangement and it
probably will not succeed. Meanwhile
the Democrat had better keep an eye
out lest it may find itself led into the
greenback camp in its support of
Ryder. Stranger things have happened.

BEFORE the election. from 10000
to 100000 votes were claimed by the
windy and boastful National. G reen-
back party in Indiana. The result
shows that the entire vote cast for the
candidates of that party is probably
short of % 600. And if the election
bad taken place month later, it would
no doubt have been much less. The
people Of that State have been rapidly
getting their eyes open of late to the
real character of the fiat delusion.
