WE give our readers o.day one Of

We give our readers TOT day one of
halfa dozen articles offered for the con.
sideration of the people on the ques-
ton of Senator from this county. We
have tried to keep our fingers entirely
out OF the pie and hence put to sleep
all the other articles but we feel CON-
PEELED to give this one to the public.
The writer threatened dire vengeance
II we didn't, and so we had to. al
you don't publish that" said he, "I'll
run for Senator myself, against any
man you put up and the man
never ran for Office without being
elected. The careful reader of the
HERALD will observe that the writer
agrees with thoughts frequently urged
editorially in the HERALD, except in
the paragraph airing his toolisbness
on the silver question. Even in that
the principal point is all right The
silver dollar and the gold dollar
should be equal in value to each 9TH
er but that policy or party or a
nation should turn upside down or
inside out on the point of 4l3A grains
bah. And this is all we have to
say on our friends Senatorial article,
except that we think the candidate
would in these times help himself
materially by putting the income tax
and interest points in his platform.

The Judge 10 his charge said that ssIf there
IS reasonable doubt from the testimony that
the defendant sold the beer TO Schmitten, You
should acquit him." But among so many
kegs OF beer that Mr.. Thiele could not re-
remember whether it was four, seven or Ten,
aud among SO many drinkers that he could
not tell whether there were twenty. five, one
hundred, or two hundred of them and with SO
many kinds of liquor that he did not know
whether beer, rum, gin or brandy were in
toxicating, the jury thought he might easily
have sold "stocknto Dunmore and not known
IT, and so they ratified the decision Of the

ALEXANDER MITCHELL, who is in
Europe, declined the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Wiscon-
sim The State Committee are ex-
pected to meet to day and put up a
candidate in his place. Judge Lynde
and Col. w. T. Villas are the most
prominent names mentioned. Villas
certainly would not accept and it is
doubtful if Lynde would. Probably
the best way for the Democrats to
