THE LESSON TAUGHT.

Now that the Ohio and Iowa elections
have resulted SO disastrously to the demo-
crafts it may be reasonably expected that
there will be right about face in demo-
cratic policy here at the-north. We very
much doubt the appearance in The
Watertown Bulldozer of any more such
articles as it contained two weeks ago It
must be apparent to the writer of them
by this time that the people Of the north
are becoming aroused to the perils of the
situation, and are fully determined to
stay the tide of rebel domination, and
cry halt Oh the southern brigadiers.
The vote last week shows that the old
war time sentiment is being walked up
and that solid south can and will be
confronted by solid north when the IL
berries and rights of the people are at
stake. A change Of nearly $4,000 in the
popular vote in Ohio since the last cleo
ton, and a republican majority of 80 on
Joint ballot in the legislature, instead Of
40 democratic majority as it was last year
means something. It signifies that Ohio
is loyal to the union, and that her voice
in the next presidential election will be
heard in favor of the republican candi-
date And taking their cue from this,
the people of New York and Wisconsin
next month will follow the brilliant ex-
ample set them by Ohio and Iowa, and
give such a majority for the republican
ticket as will render it absolutely certain
that these states will go the same way in
1880. It only needed some such incen-
tive as that which has been offered by the
democracy of the south, and their sympa-
thizers in the north, to wake the masses
up and arouse them to action. In this
state, they need not be told more than
once--as they were told by The Water
town Bulldozer two weeks ago--that j.
q. Jenkins nomination was the right
thing "because he gloried in the assas.i-
nation of Abraham Lincoln, and was new
er a war democrat" They will be prompt
to act upon the suggestion, and will leave
Mr.. jenkins in the enjoyment Of the po-
itical quiet which is now his That sort
of talk may win votes to democratic
candidate in the south, and ''the shot
gun argument" which The Bulldozer al
so put forward may be potent there but
in Wisconsin it will prove boomerang,
and Jenkins and the democratic ticket
will be buried out of sight.

A Washington correspondent notes the
fact that trustworthy statistics show that
the States which have grown most rapid
ly during the past ten years are Republi-
can. The State censuses taken in 1875
by several of the States, and the vote since
that time, show that Kansas and Nebras-
ka are taking the lead in growth The
increase in Nebraska from 1870 to 1875
was at the enormous rate Of 21S per
cent. in ten years, a growth almost un-
equaled in the history of American States.
Next to Kansas in rapid growth come
Minnesota and Colorado, both stannch Re.
publican States. The increase of politi-
cal power awarded these States after the
apportionment Of 1881 will be very great
Texas enjoys the distinction of being the
only strictly Democratic State that is
manifesting rapid growth, an even there
the spirit Of political independence
and popular progress is beginning to show
itself.

JENKINS.

Says Mr.. Jenkins, the democratic can
didate for governor Of Wisconsin: SIX
We now have the unseemly spectacle
Of the removal Of nearly every employe
Of the government upon change Of adj
ministration, as if the safety Of the union
depended upon the janitor of custom
house, who cleans spittoons entertaining
political opinions at once with the party in
power.
1t is obvious that Mr.. jenkins has given
up all hope Of being elected governor of
Wisconsin. No man who thinks he may
get votes enough to elect him to a high
office ever utters such sentiments as the
foregoing. Chicago Times.

The invention of that Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine (The Family
Sewing Machine), marks one of the most
important eras in the history of machin-
cry, and when we consider its great use
fulness and extremely low price ($25), it
is very difficult to conceive of any inven-
ton for domestic use Of more or even
equal Importance to families. 1t has great
capacity for work; be-, utiful, smooth, and
quiet movement, rapid execution certain
ty and delightful ease of operation, that
at once conlmends it above all others.
The working parts are all steel, strong
and durable, and will last a life time;
the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the
stitch is the firmest of all the stitches
made, neat and regular, and can be regu-
lated to sew stitches from an inch in
length on coarse material down to the fin
est, so infnitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernible with the naked eye, and with a
rapidity rendering it impossible to count
them as fast as made; it has more attach
ments than any other, and it does to per-
lection all kinds of heavy, course, plain,
fine, or fancy needle-work with ease, and
far less labor than required On other ma
chimes. 1t needs no commentator, the
rapid sales, increasing demand, and vol
untary encomiums from the press, and the
thousands of families who use them, am.
ply testify to their undoubted worth as a
standard and reliable household necessity
extending its popularity each day. Ma
chimes sent anywhere to be examined be-
fore any money is paid. Agents wanted
by the Company. Address them for in
formation. Family Sewing Machine Co.,

If James Madison and Thomas

IF James Madison and Thomas Jeffer-
son were alive to-day they would be ex.
communicated from the democratic party
by James G. Jenkins. In his speeches
Jenkins denounces as reasonable what
are Familiarity known as the Kentucky
and Virginia resolutions Of 1889
which were drafted by Madison and JEFF
ferson, and made the corner stone OF
every democratic platform down to and
including 1860. Jenkins is rather young
to sit in Judgment upon the whole race q
democratic statesmen who have preced-
ed him.

THE Catholic indicator advised the
prohibition party to not nominate any
candidate for governor, but vote for James
G. Jenkins, whom it claims is in sympa-
thy with its views. Does The Vindica-
tor mean to say that Mr.. Jenkins is in
favor of a prohibitory liquor law, and
would recommend the passage of one il
elected governor?

THE OHIO EYAMPLE II.

The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing succint and just statement of the
cause and consequences of the late Re
publican triumph in Ohio:
This great victory must not be belittled
by assigning in to too narrow causes. It
is not the result of Mr.. Fosters energetic
canvass, nor Of the labors of any one
man, however able and sincere It is not
the result of the Sherman boom, nor of
the Grant boom, nor of the Blaine boom
nor OF the Hayes BOOM All these cur
rents In the campaign have had their eff
feet, no doubt, but the one mighty cause
has been the profound conviction of the
people that the interests of the county
would not be safe for the next four years
in Democratic hands. They were forced
to this conclusion when they saw, on the
one hand, the tendency of the controlling
element i'll the Democratic party toward
soft money, initiation and Reputation the
cries; and confronted on the other, the
aggressive insolence of the Solid South.
The people Of Ohio realized, perhaps for
the first time, how little aid the South
needed from it's Northern allies to con
quer the country and how near we were
to the rule of party which has repu
dated $500, 100000 of debts, which made
the chief Of inflationists its leader in this
very campaign which has virtually abol-
lshed the ballot III at least six States, and
murders even women and children for the
crime of Republicanism. IF Ohio voters
have been repealed from the Democratic
party by the sense of danger both to the
stability OF the finances and to the politi-
cal liberty of the millions of the citizens
OF the South, they have at the same time
been drawn toward the Republican party
by powerful influences Resumption was
Republican achievement. The revival
of business was known to be the result of
the Republican financial policy. The
whole country was aroused, and the old
war feeling famed out again in resent
ment at the course of the Conference.-The
adlers IN Congress. The vetoes of Presi-
dent Hayes and his recent speeches help
ed. The innate love of the people for
public honesty helped. The American dis
like to seeing a man shot for his political
opinions helped. Many things worked
together, and the result is a splendid tri-
umph for the right.
1t is victory great in itself, but vastly
greater IN It's far reaching consequences.
1T Will give tremendous impetus to the
Republican cause in New York. Three
weeks hence the Empire State will have
! substantially the same issue before it. She
will render substantially the same verdict.
Let every Republican do his best in the
time that remains. The Republicans Of
Ohio have put the initiation and shotgun
Democracy to flight. Now let the men of
New York rise in their might, and smite
them hip and thigh.
The closing paragraph is applicable al
so to Wisconsin and the Republicans of
this state should make every effort to
achieve victory of like importance and
credit as that so gloriously gained in
Ohio

CONSCIOUSNESS or 4 DEMO
CRATIC FICTORT.

Let us explore the consequences of
neglecting to carry the State this Autumn
If we Go not carry it this year. it is pref
ty certain that we cannot carry it next:
and if the enemy carry it, we can safely
predict some things that will happen. If
our thirty-five electoral votes are given to
the southern candidate, by every reason
able calculation, the executive govern
ment OF the nation will be transferred to
the rule Of the confederates. Swiftly
following the transfer of power you will
find that distrust about the financial ques-
ton returns, that northern capital timid-
ly retires, that labor ceases to be in de-
mand, that new enterprises are abandon
ed, and that the bright confidence and
suspicious dawn ofprosperi but lately
begun, will grow dark with gloomy APP
prehension.
A demand will be made that the freed
slaves shall be paid for, that Southern
damage claims shall be settled, that the
emancipation proclamation, the new
amendments to the constitution and the
reconstruction act shall be declared paid ::
that the union and confederate soldiers
shall be alike pensioned; and that each
state shall be declared sovereign, with
full power to create banks of issue with
out let or intolerance from the federal
government! ssee .
How are you to bel p it? Do you point
to the constitutional amendments? They
proclaim them "void." It is well known
that each man has kept list of the num-
t Der and value of his slaves. With presi-
dent and congress in their interest, they
can pass law for the payment Of their
claims. The secretary of the treasury
pays it in obedience to law q do not
mean Secretary Sherman) What could
you do about it? Bring it before the
supreme court? But where would the
money 60 meanwhile? And who would
enforce the mandate of the court, if you
get one? Armed governments never
trouble themselves about mandates of a
court, if they don't like the mandate. A
pair OF confederate soldiers would take
care of the court if it stood in the way.
But perhaps you say that you would re-
slst such wrong by force Would you?
We should find ourselves at disadvan-
! tage III such contest with the organized
power OF this great government, and
many a pillaged city would smoke, and
many brave soldier bite the dust before
we could gain the victory.
President Hayes received in the eleven
confederate states $4,000 republican
votes. He was not suspected of being
over harsh toward that rebellious people.
On the contrary, his great desire for
brotherhood and peace led him to many
acts OF generous Cancellation which elicit
ed sharp criticism from his party. Be
fore two years OF his gentle administra-
ton were passed, those who voted for him
in the South were by intimidation or
violence driven from the polls Mr.. Hayes
has learned what every northern presi-
dent and every northern statesman who
went before him learned, that no concilia-
ton, no soft words, no generous deeds
will ever pacify the south .-From
Edwards Pie,reponfs speech at Cooper
Institute, Neu York.

THERE has been some doubt of the re-
suit of the election for one of the Califor-
mia members Of Congress-in the Third
Dstrict-the Democrats claiming the
election Of their candidate. The official
returns, however, have now dispelled all
doubt. Mr.. Berry, the Republican can
didate, is elected by 24S majority. This
makes the California delegation in Con
gess solidly Republican, and the result
proves, furthermore, that California will
go for a Republican President in 1880.

SINCE the Iowa and Ohio elections the
republicans are growing bold and ava
ricious. They now claim Indiana for 1880
and we believe they will make good their
claim. Indiana elects legislature in
1880 which will elect a successor of Sena-
tor Joseph E. Mcdonald, democrat. The
republicans propose to capture that prize,
and also undo the Ubiquitous congressional
superintendent by which the republicans
were swindled out of a couple Of congress
men last wear.

IT is reported that the democratic can
Sidate for Secretary of State is making an
effort to secure republican votes through
personal appeals to his brother Odd Eel
lows. No republican need to vote for
the democratic candidate in order to IA
vor a brother of his order. Hans B.
Warner, the republican candidate for
Secretary of State, is also a member OF
the Odd Fellows fraternity. Honors are
even so far as regards Odd Fellowship,
and there is no reason why republican
members of that order should vote for the
democratic candidate for Secretary.

IOWA..

That was good deal ofa political hur-
mcane they had last week in Iowa. Gov.
Gears majority over the democratic can
didate is 10000, and 100000 over the
geenbacker. Twenty-Five out Of 20 sena-
ears, and so out of 100 representatives
are republicans. They came pretty near
making the thing unanimous. In 1880,
the republicans will do still better than
they did this year.

The DEMOCRATS AND THE RESULT IN
OHIo.-Ihe result is sufficiently clear as
to how the political wind blows. State
sovereignty will be more unpopular now
than it has ever been before Some of
the democratic politicians will even sud
denly learn, perhaps, that they have al
ways been in favor of national supremacy.
The example of the Wisconsin democrats
III turning a cold shoulder to the confede-
rate brigadiers, and condemning, through
the mouth of their standard bearer the
bul!l-dozing policy of the solid south, will
be initiated on all sides. The anxiety of
the northern Democratic party to
prove that it owes no allegiance to the
southern political captains will be abso-
lutely painful. Just how the democratic
leaders will try to obliterate their obstruct-
i've record in congress last spring is be-
yond concelvlng, but the attempt will
surely be made Chicago Times.
