While in Ohio and Iowa the democrat
lie party is committed to the soft-money
heresy, in Wisconsin and New York it is
stiff for hard money. Can ANYBODY name
one solitary principle, or even pretense,
upon which the entire democratic party
of the country. is united? The policy
upon which the party comes nearest to
being unit is that of breaking down all
the legal safeguards now existing to the
security and purity of the ballot-and
that means chaos.

HOW SENATOR BLAINE CAR
RIED MINE.

WASHINGTON, September 1O-General
Grosvenor has received a telegram from
Senator Blaine which says that eve have
made clean sweep, carrying the Senate
and House, and have probably elected
Governor by the people" Gentlemen
recently from Maine speak with great en-
thusiasm of the ability with which Blaine
conducted the campaign, and say without
his magnificent leadership the Republi-
cans could not have carried the State
lie has made an average of two speeches
a day, edited a newspaper, arranged the
details OF the campaign, assigned the
speakers, conducted the correspondence
as Chairman of the Republican State
Committee and done various other things
for the last six weeks. He wrote his let
tiers, sometimes 100 per day, and dictated
his newspaper articles on the cars,
Or in carriages while travelling. He
has always made his headquarters in the
telegraph offices when travelling, and has
had a telegraphic instrument in his own
house when at home directing the cam
paign by that means. AS an evidence
Of the thorough knowledge which Blaine
had of the political situation. it IS stated
that he had written out a statement two
days before election as to what he the
vote in each county would be, and the
newspaper reports as far as received cor
respond with it with surprising accuracy.
The aggregate vote is several thousand
less than Blaine predicted, but this is &C
counted for by the heavy rain-storms
which prevailed through Maine on cleo
ton day, but the relative proportion of
votes on either side remains, however,
about the same as he made it, and his
prediction as to the Legislature complica-
ton is said to have been exactly fulfill
ed.

The democratic state central commit
tee will meet in Milwaukee Thursday,
September 25th, to nominate candidate
for governor in place of Alexander Nit
ehell, declined. John Black, William P.
Lynde and Ferdinand Kuehn all of Mil
Waukee, are mentioned in connection
with the position although we do not I'M
derstand that the committee has any as
surances that either Of these gentlemen
would consent to be led to the slaughter.
Senator Doolittle seems to be the only
MAN in the democratic ranks anxious for
tie the empty honor. Very many pro-
m.inent democrats in the state seem to
favor the calling of another convention
for the purpose of placing in nomination
not only candidate for governor but to
make up an entire new ticket. We
would recommend that the convention be
held in town in which there are no
saloons this time.

THE TIRTUOUS DEMOCRACT.

The democratic convention which met
in this state on the 9th inst, was an ideal
democratic gathering. 1t was like a ship
at sea beating about without mast or
rudder. To say that the whole conven-
ton was drunk would perhaps be putting
it pretty strongly, but certainly a mob
of drunken men could not have made
themselves more ridiculous than did the
members of this convention. They seemed
to have no well defined purpose in view,
except to avoid repetition Of the mis-
take which they made two years ago in
adopting a soft money platform. This
they did by making a complete sommer
sault on the financial question. In 1877
the democracy were. beaten on this issue,
and democratic like, always looking to
success and nothing else, this virtuous
party concludes to try the other side OF
the money question this year. But it is
too late - this question has been set
tied, and without democratic assis
lance, as all questions of Importance
have been the last twenty years. The
democratic party has hitherto protested to
be an anti-monopoly party. This was the
hobby on which it rode into power in the
first Taylor compaign. But having made
one change of front it was easy enough
to make another, and ignoring all its
former professions the democracy places at
the head Of its ticket Alex. Mitchell, the
great railway king of the northwest.
One of the most noticeable inconsistent
cies of this fool-convention may be found
in its bid for the soldier vote. In its
platform it resolves that soldiers ought to
be remembered when places of honor or
trust are being disposed Of but the conven-
ton seems to have lost sight of this part of
its platform when making up its ticket,
on which there is not person who bears
a title equal to that of militia corporal.
The proceedings of the democratic con-
vention are nothing but inconsistencies
from beginning to end, which go to show
that the democratic party, of this state
especially, has no settled convictions on
any subject, and is sincere in none of its
propositions. 1t is to-day on one side of
a question and tomorrow on the other,
having in view only one apparent object
whichssis the control of affairs, both state
and national. 1t is pretty safe to predict
that Wisconsin will give 1900 majority
against this anything-to-win-party in
November next, as indeed it ought to,

OFFICIAL returns from the State of
Maine, with the exception of twenty
small towns and plantations, give
Davis Republican,, for Governor, IS, O12;
Smith (Greenbacker), 47,OSs; Garcelon
Democrat, 21,1S1. The Republican
plurality over the Greenback ticket is
20,924; over the Democratic ticket, 49,
S31. Davis lacks only about 800 votes
of clear majority over both of his COM
petitors. The returns from the remain
ing towns, it is stated, will not essentially
change the result. The Republicans
have majority on joint ballot in the
new Legislature, which will elect Davis
Governor.

THE Nation thinks it remarkable
that for the past two years there have
been no Democratic apologies OR eulogies
of Mr. Tilden-that there has been "no
vigorous Democratic defense of him
and that "the Democratic press is for the
most part silent about both his defects
and eXcellencies" This is not remark
able at all As soon as the last Presi-
dental campaign closed, Tilden closed
up his bar'l, and that ended the interest
the average Democrat had in him; and
that interest will not be revived until the
barl shall be reopened next year.-Chi-
caQo Journal.

Everybody understands that the Re
publicans would give good deal to have
Mrs. Chisolm shot at or insulted, and the
Republican leaders are just the fellows to
hire some scoundrel from northern slum
to do it for the political effect of the thing.
-LousriIe COmler-JOWndI
If that is not shameful piece of South
ern hedging in view Of possibilities we do
not estimate it Alright. Does The Journal
have any reason to suppose that Henry
Gully, his aiders ond abettors in Missis-
sippi, have changed so much as to need
"some scoundrel from Northern sum-
to murder woman. Men who could de-
Gberately shoot to death innocent child
rem, clinging around the neck of the faith
er, as these murderers did, are not per-
sons to hesitate when a woman is to be
massacred-Inter Ocean.

THERE is now, says Dublin CORES
pendent of The Pail Mall Gazette, a di-
rect importance of American cattle into
Belfast, and the beasts find ready sale
at from 20 guineas to so guineas each.
The cattle must, under the order in
Council be slaughtered on the quay,
which somewhat check the trade, but
when this order is removed it is said that
Belfast will become the general depot for
the north of Ireland for an extensive
American trade.

The Yazoo politician methods are also
in vogue in South Carolina A private
letter received at Washington announces
the assassination of Alexander Bryce, Of
Wahalhalla, in that State, about eight
days since He was native of the State
and a prominent Republican. He serv-
ed in the Legislature from 1868 to 1871,
and was afterwards Treasurer of his coun-
ty. Several weeks since he undertook
the task of recognizing the Republican
party of his county, with the above re-
suit The Coroner's jury redered a YER
dict Of "shot by a person unknown 1t
is safe to presume that the jury did not
worry themselves or anybody else very
much to find out who the ''person I'M
known" was.
THERE Doesn't seem to be any demo
cratic party left in Wisconsin, so there is
no need of candidate for Governor.
Two years ago the soft-money men took
control and drove the honest-money men
out of the party; now the honest-money
men have driven the soft-money men out
so there is nobody left.-Sentinel.

Prof G. L. Hubbs, the republican can
didate for county superintendent OF
schools, is Principal of the Lake Mills
High School, which is one of the best
schools in the county. He has held this
position for four years and is now engag-
ed for the fifth. Mr.. Hubbs is graduate
of the State University, has a thorough
education, and is peculiarly fitted for the
position of superintendent Having
adopted teaching as his profession he will
bring to the discharge of his duties a love
for the work and if elected will no doubt
elevate and maintain for the schools of
Jefferson county high standard. He
should receive the hearty support of every
man who has an interest in the public
schools of the county. Mr.. lis brother
of Rev. G. S. Hubbs former pastor of M
E. Church of this city. There seems to
be little doubt of his election. A gre at
many democrats in all portions of the
county have signifed desire to support
Mr. Hubbs for superintendent, in pre-
ference to their own candidate, deeming
him the most fit man for the Office.

Senator Matt Carpenter is a pretty
sharp observer and judge Of political
events and probabilities. He recently re-
marked:
The Democrats will be forced to take up Mr.
Tilden. l consider his nomination one Of the
sure things of the future, | am equally confirm
him with any good man. Who that good man is
to be depends upon. so many contingencies that
any opinion with reference thereto would be
mere guesswork: but any good man will succeed
against MIR. Tilden.
AS things are now, and as they are
likely to be, this prognostic will probably
prove correct.

HERE is not an Irishman, German or
Norwegian on the democratic state ticket
as it stands today. Haben was thought
to be representative German when he
was nominated, but he is not now recog-
nized as such. He was born in Prussia
in 1884 and came to this country in 1887.
He cannot speak the German language.
But the ticket is liable to undergo many
changes before election, and these defects
may be remedied yet.

A GREAT Democratic victory! The
jury in the first of the Chisolm murder
trials in Mississippi has given verdict
Of mot guilty. 1t was a matter of
course. The testimony convicted the
man Gully Of having shot down Miss
Chisolm while shielding her father from
his armed assailants, but the cause of a
''solid South demanded his acquittal,
and the bull-dozing assassin is to-day the
greatest hero in the State of Mississippi.
1t is a glorious victory for the Democra-
cy. Now if they would only indict, try,
convict, and execute Mrs Chisolm for
malicious prosecution, or something of
that sort, the climax would be capped
