Tuesday. The coolest morning was

hoped to be able to pay all 100 cents

nave been able to have done so in Or

derstand the difficulty of converting
goods into cash these times. They
stopped buying goods some little time
since, and have made the utmost ex-
ertlon to meet their demands at maturi
ty. They have paid large amount to
their Boston creditors since the first of
october, and consequently the greater
part OF their paper is at home, among
their friends, who have unlimited con-
hdence in their ability and integrity

arrangement by which they will be en-
abled to resume their business, for this
village cannot afford to lose this firm.

BRIGHT, of the Waupaca Republican
does some vigorous writing when he sets
about it. There is none of that intoler-
ant political sectarianism in the Repatb-
tcGn editorials. Speaking of the howl
raised about the appearance of confeder-
ate brigadiers in congress, the RepubH-
can, while expressing the belief that
possibly it would be as well to have
utilized the sour apple tree in the manner
suggested by the old ballad, says ''the
republicans have invited the prodigal son
home, fallen on his neck and shed
streams of tears down his back, killed
the fatted calf, given him a seat at the
table and then scold him for eating" A
very faithful reflection of the policy
being pursued. jeff Davis alive is
worth thousand jeff Davises dead, to
the republican party.

TIE following from the Milwaukee
Dispatch IS compliment well deserved
by Mr.. Rankin. As chairman Of the
state central committee, he has done
more work than any other person who
filed the position and his friendships
throughout are not limited to the mem
bers OF any party. Small men think it s
grand thing TO heap obloquv upon him,
but he retires from the craftsmanship of
the committee bearing the respect and
friendship Of almost every prominent
man in the state. Ianitowoc has reason
to be proud of the prominence one of its
members has attained in tile political
councils of the state:
*'The Signal desires to say, without
his knowing one thing about it, that
Hon. Joseph Rankin is as clever q man
rs vou can find in Wisconsin. He has
been severely and, at times, individually
criticised by the partisan press-iust as
all men are criticised when holding a
prominent place. 1t is known that Mr..
Rankin has borne all that criticism good
naturally. As the chairman of the dem
ocratic state central committee, he has
been somewhat Of target, and he is big
enough to be occasionally hit by even so
awkward marksman as aunt Billy Ora
mer, who never had prs ctical idea in
his life. Mr.. Rankin is aoout to retire
ftom the task of his present chairman
ship. Ii he has not brought his party
into power, it must be said that he has
Tot been untrue to its fortunes. With
courageous heart, lie has chung to its
Banner through thick and thin. Wiser
men might have done less or worse than
lie. His dauutless eye has never flicker
ed. HIS steadfast purpose has never
wavered. His sense CT duly has never
smYered. And When su,ren le1ing his
trust at Madison, Til asday next, he win
return it to his constituents untarn.
