CLERK OF THE COURT.

We appeal to republicans all through
the county to see that every vote that
can be is secured for our candidate for
clerk of the court Mr.. Schuhrer is a
most estimable gentleman and is well
qualified for the position to which it is
proposed to elect him. Although resi-
dent of Watertown for many years, his
business engagementshaye not been such
as to give him prominence. and he con-
sequently is not as well known outside of
the city as he might be. For the infor-
nation of those who may not be acquaint-
ed with him we would say that he is
quiet and unassuming in his manners,
possessing good business qualifications, of
correct and methodical habits, and in all
respects is candidate deserving of far
more than his party vote. We hope that
20 effort will be spared by his friends,
both political and personal, to secure his
election. He is entirely worthy of their
best endeavors in this direction.

ETERTBODY SATISFIED.

As a rule no political meeting is ever
held with which all parties claim to be
satisfied Mr. Jenkins demonstration
last week proves to be an exception. All
profess to be happy over it, but seriously
we think republicans the jolliest Of all,
for Mr. enkins said very little with which
republicans do not agree, while there
was much for democrats to find fault with.
Upon four leading propositions he took
the most advanced republican ground,
viz: LIST, state rights; I'd, finances; Sd,
civil service reform; 4th, a demand for
fair and honest elections
Upon the latter two points, had Mr..
Jenkins thrown a bombshell among the
democrats in his audience, he could not
have created greater CONSERVATION. The
look of anguish depicted ON the counte-
nances of lot of fellows there who are
hankering after any official position from
the Watertown post Office down to mes
sengership at the state capitol, was pitiable
indeed when Mr.. Jenkins denounced this
turning men out of Office on account of
their politics. He said the old doctrine
"to the victor belong the spoils," though
of democratic origin, is false in theory
and wrong in practice That sort of talk
of course, didn't suit the democratic
"Outs."
Equally unsatisfactory to democrats
was his point relative to honest elections.
He virtually admitted all that republi-
cans claim as to bulldozing in the south;
and seconded the demand that this
violence and intimidation shall cease
thus taking issue with his party upon this
important question. Some of his other
utterances grated harshly on the ears of
his democratic hearers, not few of whom
are frank to admit confdentialIy that it
is impossible to get up boom here for a
candidate who kicks in the traces as
much as Jenkins does.

its inmates. We should require some
thing more conclusive than the word of
a convicted felon before crediting the re-
port. Not only does he claim that the
provisions used in feeding the prisoners
are of the most unwholesome character
but he charges that citizens have been
kidnapped by the police and confined
there, without any trial, and denied the
privilege of communicating with their
friends. Murders, even, have been COM
mitted, according to the statement made,
and other atrocities been practiced by
superintendent Kennedy, and others I'M
der him. We think the author of the &C
count is either great liar, or crazy. Pro
badly the latter is the most charitable
construction to put upon the matter, and
in the investigation which will undoubt-
edly follow, such will probably appear
to be the fact. The Sentinel, we sus-
pect, has been made the victim of mis-
placed confidence.

No one should fail to read the article
reproduced in another column from The
Chicago Times entitled ga nut for demo-
Gratis to crack Every democrat especi-
ally should peruse it and see how faith
fully the present attitude of his party is
portrayed. 1t is too much, perhaps, to
ask the editor of The Watertown Bull
dozer to glance through it, but if he could
be induced to do so the effect might be
good. He would be reminded of some
things which seem to have escaped his
observation, assuming of course-which
may be q violent presumption-that he
is honest in what he has been saying
lately through his paper as to southern
outrages But it is unreasonable, per-
haps, to expect any sense, or reason or
decency from that quarter. There are
plenty of democrats, however, who are
not so blinded by partizan zeal as to be
unable to see and appreciate the truths
pointed out, and who will have the indie
pendence next week to vote against the
party guilty Of the wrongs and; inconsis-
tencies named in the article in question.
The charges and specifications of The
Times against their party are of such a
nature that plea Of guilty is the only
one admissible in the case. Again, we
urge every voter, of all shades of opinion,
to read what The Times has to say. It
is keen, vigorous, logical and truthful.

DEMOCRATIC STUPIDITY

The other day The Fond du Lac Com
monwealth contained an article initiating
the style of The Okolona States, and if
possible surprising that ood-thirsty
paper in the use of the terms employed
ty enforce its meaning, and making the
most ludicrous statements as to the in
tention of the republicans this fall to
bulldoze democrats and carry the election
by force and fraud. Nobody but a
thick-headed idiot ought to have failed to
see that the article was intended as a
joke, yet there are democratic papers
which treat it seriously, and are quoting
The Commonwealth as proof of contem-
plated republican rascality. The next
time Kutchin writes anything of that
kind, he should add to it, for the benefit
of these dolts, "This is COAX" Then
they might be able to comprehend it.

JENKINS as. THE SOLDIER.

No soldier of Wisconsin who enlisted in
the army and served his country, during
the late war from patriotic motives, can
consistently vote for James G. jenkins
for Governor of Wisconsin. Why? Be-
cause while they were exposing their bo-
dies to ball and sabre and stealing their
hearts for the enemies weapons, James G..
Jenkins was efectually serving the enc
my whom they were fighting. In fact he
was the worst kind OF copperhead-
noisy and blatant on all occasions. He
openly and boldly applauded Confederate
victories and therefore rejoiced whenever
a boy in blue was made to bite the dust.
The attitude of the Union soldier to-
wards JAMES G. Jenkins is one with
which politics has nothing to do. No
Democrat, more than a Republican, who
believes in the principles for which he
fought, or respects the great sacrifices
bravely endured b. their numerous dead

4 GREAT scandal.

The other day, The Milwaukee Senti-
mel contained an article several columns
in length, purporting to have been writ
ten by an ex-convict, making serious
charges against the management of the
Milwaukee house of correction. It does
not seem possible that the story, nor the
half of it, can be true. 1t undoubtedly
is fact that the prisoners are not treat
ed to first class hotel fare, but we do not
believe that III that institution or any
other such food az is claimed is served to
those who are unfortunate enough to be

4 GOOD ONE ON JENKINS.

Mr.. jenkins opened his campaign with
speech at Madison, Oct. 18th. We
have before us a copy of The Madison
Democrat containing an extended sum-
mary Of his remarks. He made pretty
much the same speech here, except that
one portion thereof, which appeared in
The Democrat, was entirely omitted We
allude to what he said in Madison con-
corning certain state rights resolutions
prepared by S. M. Booth and introduced
in the legislature Of this state in 1859.
These resolutions he denounced as "bold
notification, born of incipient treason"
He did not know at the time that they
were the Identical resolutions, with the
change of a single word, that were draft
ed by Jefferson and Madison, and are
known as the Kentucky resolutions OF
1798-9-good old democratic doctrine
which was affirmed and re-afirmed by
every democratic national convention for
three quarters of a century afterwards.
Jenkins therefore concluded to drop all
further allusion to them, deemingit unwise
probably TO call in question the ortho-
dox of Jeifersons and Madison's demo
cracy. But the joke was on jenkins all
the same, and he is being cons: derably
badgered about it by his party friends
who appreciate the absurdity OF the situa-
ton.

The Milwaukee State Journal, an indie
pendant paper, edited by the veteran
Capt. A. j. Langworthy, is responsible
for bit of history, which shows that
James G. jenkins is not the man the 10y
al soldiers of Wisconsin want for COVER
nor. The statement is definite as to time
and place, and places the candidate of
the progressive democracy in very un-
favorable light. The Journal says:
GIN the summer of 1862, in the restau-
rant of John Olmstead, on Broadway,
some news came favorable to the rebels
when Jenkins proposed ''three cheers for
jeff Davis" but had only delivered him
self of one hearty cheer, when Weather
by, the livery stable keeper knocked him
down. While we are Independent in all
things, we intend to be fully so in our
treatment of the rebels and traitors, no
matter what party they belong to.
We cannot endorse the vipers, and must
be excused from voting in that dhec-
ton"

DID JENKINS REJOICE, sc.

The Watertown Bulldozer, finding that
it had put it's foot in badly by exulting
over the copperhead antecedents of its
candidate for governor, last week tried to
crawl out of its awkward position. So
impressed was The Bulldozer with the
Importance Of making an explanation
that it placed at the head of it's columns
the following double loaded paragraph:
In our issue of October 9th we neither
affirmed nor denied the truth Of the
charge that Mr.. Jenkins, democratic can
didate for governor, approved of the as
sassination Of President Lincoln. We
considered the accusation too absurd to
require refutation Of course, the whole
story was invented for want of something
detrimental in the career of Mr.. Jenkins
as man and citizen.
Now The Bulldozer can not make its
escape through so small hole as that.
Here is what it said in it's issue Of Octo-
Der 9th:
There is no longer doubt that the dem
ocrats have nominated just the right
man for governor. The only charge
against Mr.. Jenkins thus far is that he
reioiced when Lincoln was assassinated.
1t is a satisfaction to know that he was
not ''war democrat
ct is satisfaction to know that he
was not war democrat" says The Bull
dozer. For whom, pray tell us, was the
editor speaking? To whom was it "a
satisfaction to know that he was not a
war democrat?" Why, the editor of
course, and nobody else. That is The
Bulldozer's own accusation" and that
concern expressed its own satisfaction"
that jenkins, in common with the editor
of that paper, was not a war democrat
and threw up his hat when .Lincoln was
murdered No amount of affirming or
denying" on the part of The Bulldozer
will make its attempt to palm that off up
on somebody else successful.
But it may be said that Mr.. Jenkins
repudiated The Bulldozer's article and
denied its truth. We give him credit for
all that he said upon the subject which
was that he regarded, and denounced at
the time, the assassination of Lincoln ssas
a great crime. But h, did not deny that
he was a copperhead all through the war
nor did he say that The Bulldozer's "sa-
tisfaction that he was not war demo-
craft was not founded in truth and rea-
son. Mr.. jenkins, by his silence upon
this point, left his audience to under
stand that at least that part of The Bull
dozers statement was true. And we
| have no doubt that it was The Bull
dozer, therefore, in trying to cover its re-
treat has only succeeded in making a
| bad matter worse

Il BARGAIN.

James G. Jenkins, though ostensibly
q candidate tor governor, is really paw
ing the way to become, if he can, the sue
cessor of chiefjustice Ryan. He does
not expect to be elected governor He
would not touch the nomination until
Joe Rankin and the democratic managers
promised him their influence to make
him chief.justice. He is simply running
lpw to get his name before the people,
and then when Judge Ryan'$ term ex-
pres, the martyr dodge will be played
aad Jenkins nomination claimed on the
ground that he led the forlorn hope of the
democracy this fall. That is what the
democratic party leaders have promised
now let us see if they can deliver the
goods.

FROM official documents it appears that
the southern claims now before congress
amount to the enormous sum of 81 ,287,
524,735. This staggering amount has
reached its present enormous proportions
within two years. Besides this immense
sum, the south asks for internal improve
ments to the amount of SS73,S61, 600.
Then comes the demand for the repayment
Of the cotton claims which involves the
sum of $3.50, 900, 900, and it will be seen
what danger lies in the direction of Civ
ing the control of the government to a
party which may reasonably be expected
ia advocate the payment of such enor-
NOUS sums as these out of the public
tEeasury.

SOUND DOCTRINE.

We clip from the down town organ of
the democracy the following extract from
Mr.. Jenkins Turner Hall speech, and
cannot too strongly endorse every senti-
ment it contains. 1t is precisely what
republicans are fighting for in this cam
paign:
another matter of interest to the ma
ton at the present time, concerns the
subject of fair and peaceable elections.
AS to this / believe there is no dis
cordance of sentiment among good men
of all parties It is essential to the per-
manency of our institutions, that every
citizen, high or low, rich Or poor, without
respect to race, color, or previous condi-
ton of servitude, shonld have secured to
him the right to vote without interference
Or intimidation. There should not only
be no denial of this right, but every citi-
zen should be actively protected therein.
There should be no tampering with the
ballot box. There should be no unlaw-
full votes permitted to be cast. There
should be no wicked changing of votes
cast, or false returning of the res ult.
X
And in this connection, I take this oc-
casiOn to denounce all intimidation of
voters, all public OF social ostracism for
political cause, all outrages upon any citi-
zen for differences in political faith.
Throughout this whole land every citizen
should have the free and unquestioned
right to entertain his own notions of poll
teal faith, without fear or intimidation,
and to exercise all his political rigt IS
without constraint And in common
with all good citizens, / demand that any
and all infraction of such right, any and
f, all intimidation or violence inflicted up
on any citizen for his political faith, shall
be punished, swiftly and surely, by the
law of the land. There must be no poll
teal ostracism; no political assassina-
tons
We wonder what was running through
Mr.. Jenkins head when he thus spoke.
He must have heard of political troubles
somewhere. Somebody, some party, some
race, must have been denied the right to
vote. There must have been 'interfer-
ence and intimidation" in some quarter
with peaceable citizens There must have
been stufing of the ballot boxes. There
must have been fraudulent counts. There
must have been false returns of elections
If not, why should Mr.. Jenkins have
| thought and spoken of such things? We
| do not recollect of any occurrence of that
kind in the north. 1t must have been in
the south. On second thought we do re-
member that in South Carolina, Louis
lana, Mississippi, and other southern
states the colored republicans have met
with distractions in the matter of voting.
This, probably,is what Mr. jenkins allud-
ed to. Anyhow his remarks were emf
nently sound, and undoubtedly it was
because they were so satisfactory to his
republican hearers, that democrats swore
that Jenkins Haunted the bloody shirt
equal to any stalwart; and some of them
were mad about it.

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS,

The election occurs next Tuesday, and
every republican should be on hand pre-
pared to do his full duty. The only dan
ger of defeat lies in the fact that republi-
cans are too sanguine of success. That
our party has handsome majority on a
full vote, no one questions for moment,
but this counts for nothingunless the bal
lots are cast. 1t is not enough that we
simply elect our ticket. The majority
should be overwhelming-not less than
10000, and this it can and will be if pro-
per attention is given to getting out our
vote. 1t is due to Gov. Smith and the
rest of the candidates on our state ticket
that this should be done. They have
ably and faithfully discharged their
duties and deserve well at the hands OF
the people. Besides this, let the MAORI
ty be large now, and democrats will have
no hopes of carrying the state in 1880,
and the battle will have been already
won for that year. This is incentive
enough for every republican to toe the
mark on Tuesday next and help make
the democratic defeat as disastrous as
possible.

considerable truth, that "the Democracy

quicker the democrats understand this,
and unload, the better for the party.
