Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1879-10-30

THE election is near at hand. Al-
most every man has settled down
upon his ticket. OF candidat's
there are three sets tffsred HIM
the Republican ticket, the Demo-
cratic ticket and the green mans
ticket. The fret named viii Oe
Overwhelmingly elected in he
State. The last named will have
very Email complement Of vote
hardly enough for "balance OF
power. The Dem NcTa,ic result
will also he sadly WON down by
friction with the souIb. A 10" more
rubs Ike the Extra Session the
Kcmper county jubilee and The Va"
200 hnzza will rub Democracy cut
OF txistercH. And 20 our politics
turn 90 what they are doing down
South not OF home affairs The
people Of the North ale obliged IN
some cssta to support unVnr'hy
men Tor their own Offices because
they ,oiil not give encouragement 10
the leaders of the Democracy in the
South, who are worse Than savages.
In the county, as in the state. there
are three tickets asking for sui
frago For the Senate the RepUb'
icons Her George W RylaDd. The
Democrats offer James w. Seaton
and the Cireenbackers offer s. N.
Jones. This county will give, pro
por,iouately, larger GreenDack
vote than the rest OF the state but
d Mr.. Jones has no more show IL GO
ing to The Senate en- IL than he has
of going to the planet Jupiter On
his run TWO years ago he received
I.010 votes out OF . 573 He may
do half that we'll this yea, but we
doubt il. Votes for him are votes
thrown away. This is not rtid a.
indicative of anything very bad in
Mr.. Jones The worst thing we
know about him is bis weakness in
being follower Of that monster
who rtjoiced that Booths bullet
bad sent Liucoln's soul 10 heli.' OF
course man who can be led by
such u brute would hardly be fair
Representative Of the people Of
Grant county NJ Jones has, how
ever, pretty good ability, hut were
he very good and very able, and
without the betrayal ofthe WEI kness
we have named, what is the use OF
voting for man with no chance
whatever of election ? We trust
there are rot many Republicans
who will commit this folly. For the
Office Ct County Superintendent OF
Schools the three candidates ARE
Charles l.. Harper, d J Gardner
and IL. Gilmore The first named is
the present incumbent and is very
popular. We have nothing discred-
liable TO sav Of either Of the others,
but their show for election ~ pretty
slim Candidates for the Assembly
ia Grant county ire also nearly as
thick a. Kansas g,ssshoppers.
There are nine of them In the Let
District there are Charles Watson,
John HER and Il. Witherbee. In
the I'd there are John A. Klindt,
Thos. Davies and +. w. Klinkhsm-
mer. In the Sd thcre are John
Brindley, Thos. Tormey and John
". Bidwel, The last named in
each are greeabackers and there is
not an inhnitesimsl show of the
election OF any of them Practical
ly they are running for the fun of
the thing. The principles of the
Republican party, the men it has
put forward, and the burden our
Democrats have to carry for their
southern brethren, sugges. an old
time Republican majority in Grant
county such as we used TO have
eighteen or twenty hundred. If We
don't get it the fault will lie in the
home of the Republican psrty of
Grant county.
