Suddenly, without warning, the

Nichol at Bloomington

If ever political meeting held in
this county resulted in the effect de.
sired we believe it was the one held
at Bloomington Saturday last, ad.
dressed by Mr.. Thos. Nichol. Bloom.
ington is the focus Of the GrreenbacK
craze in this county. The Republi
cans there have wanted and looked
for Mr. Nichol for two years. When
at last he did come there was only a
brief notice and since the meeting
we learn that many are disappointed
because they did not know OF il
aud failed to hear him. But while
many Republicans failed to hear h,m
there was an unusual attendance of
Greenbackers. Mr.. Bate, among
other foolish notions, got it into his
head that Mr. Nichpl was afraid and
declined IT, meet their "Professor"
and by his active circulation of this
nonsense impressed his political
friends with the belief that our man
would be something of failure and
thus the hall which was full in seats,
aisles and standing area, was largely
shared by Greenbackers Among
them was Mr. Bate himself and Mr..
G. w. Lee on the "frontest" seat.
There for three hours Mr.. Nichol
poured into them probably the hot.
test stuff they ever drank. II any
wavering minds were there they
could not have gone wsvering away
from that meeting. Considerate men,
some OF whom had gone sill the way
from Mt. Hope and Little Grant, say
that full twenty men were that night
sized for Republican voting. Not
that all were converted but some OF
them were men who not having doc
uments at hand to satisfy themselves
had been put on the fence or were
doundering in doubt Mr.. Nichol
presents facts in way that they can
not he controverted. He also pre-
sents them in very interesting man
ner. His annecdotal Illustrations
having come in his own experience
are fresh and always have the de
sired effect. Mr.. Nichol has done
more TO teach correct financial
knowledge to the people of Wiscon-
sin than any other man. The Re-
publican party of Wisconsin we be
lieve could hardly have been saved
two years ago without him. Mr..
Rublee, it is true, did a great deal
of other WORT, but the most fortunate
lick was finding and setting Thomas
Nichol to work. There can be no
honest Greenbsckers among men not
so deep in that they cannot get out,
where he has spoken. The meeting
at Bloomington was presided over
by Mr.. Cyrus Sargent and the audi.
ence listened sttentively and quietly

What's His Politics.

81 take this occasion TO denounce ali in.
tmidation of voters, all public or social os
tracism for political causes, all outrages upon
any citizen for difference ia political faith
Throughout this whole land every citizen
should have the free and unquestioned right TO
entertain his own notions of political faith.
with out tear or Intimidation, aud 10 exercise
all his political rights without constraint
And in common with good citizens, demand
that any and all infractions Of snch right, any
and all intimidation or violence inflicted upon
any citizen for his political faith snail be
punished swiftly and surely by the laws Of the
land. There must be no political ostracismi
no political assassinstons."
Now. reader, what do You think
the above is? Where is it that vo.
ters have been inundated ? Social
ostracism for political causes is the
practice of what people? In what
part of this land and by what peo-
pie and party are citizens denied free
and unquestionable right to enter
tain their own notions of political
faith Who is it that infiicts vio-
lence upon citizens for political faith,
and who are political assassins 2
Surely the above extract is not from
a Democratic speech. Isn't il a
wave of the bloody shirt? If 1t is it
must be a Republican wave. But,
no! 1t is an extract from speech
made by the Democratic candidate
( for Governor of Wisconsin. And the
Mineral Point Democrat-bless its
good honest soul, for it evidently
speaks from the heart-in referring
tn this extract savs oMr Jenkins
in eloquent words voiced the senti.
ments of every good citizen and ev.
cry true Democrat. And this is
true. There is nothing better or
more fitting to the present time in
any speeches of our own candidate,
Gov. Smith. 1.-THE opposition to the
Republican party had united il
earnest upon this platform at the
proper time they would last year
have rushed VIGOROUSLY into power
everywhere in the North. If wher

to 60 unhung by military or othe
power; if when Hayes's administra
tration permitted companies of armed
men and the tricks of political knave
to drive Packard from the Governor
ship Of Louissna--if then, the oppo
sition had couragiously placed them
selves upon platform like this o
Jenkins, and shown their determine
ton to punish the perpetrators o
Southern brutality, so much tam

From official documents it appears
that the Southern claims now before
Congress amount to the enormous
sum of 81, 2s7 ,524,735. This stag,
gering amount has reached its pres
ent enormous proportions within two
years. Besides this immense sum,
the South asks for internal improve.
ments to the amount OF ss73, So, 900.
Then comes q demand for the repay.
ment of the cotton, which involves
the sum OF S350.o00,0o0, and it will
