II he Democrat affects great dis
gust at our statement that Gabe
Bouck had his emmissaries here at
the Greenback State Convention
trying to capture for him the no.
mination for governor. 1t says:
"if Bouck desires to be Governor,
he will look to straight, out-and-
out democrats for qualification of
his ambition" The Democrat
evidently does not understand
GabriePs tactics as we'll as it might.
1t must have forgotten how he
plowed with the greenback heifer
when running for congress the last
time. Gabe's chronic desire for Of
flee is SO strong that he cares not
where his votes come from, and he
would 60 to tany length to secure
success. Hence he sought the
greenback nomination, or his friends
did for him, thinking that an en-
dorsement by the democrats would
follow, and that he might between
the support of the two organiza-
tlons' possibly run in. But the
greenbackers wouldn't touch Gabe,
and now he and his hackers, includ-
ing the Democrat, are mad about

"A new paper has been started at Jaf-
ferson called the Independent, the second
number OF which appeared last week.
The editor is evidently keen observer
and recognizes greatness even among his
rivals, as will be seen by the following
ticket which he submit is to the consdera-
ton of the democratic state convention.
We have only one suggestion to make
and that is to place on the ticket the great
constitionaal lawyer for attorney general.
We presume the distinguished editors
would not object to this as the change
would take none of the Offices out Of the
family Below will be found the Inde-
pendent's democra attic ticket:
For Governor, Thomas" G. Jones, of
WatertOWn. -
For Lieut.. Governor, F. P. Brook, of
Watertown.
For Sec. of State, Thomas c. Jones, of
Watertown
For Attorney Gen, F. P. Brook, of
Watertown.
For State Treasurer, Thomas Jones, of
Watertown
For State Superintendent, F. P. Brook,
of Watertown
These gentlemen are all we'll and favor
ably known, and would prove a tower
OF strength in the coming compaign. If
vl--ory is to perch on the banners of the
Democracy. the strongest men must be
elected, irrespective oflocality.

Ex.GOv. Dewey Financially Ruined

The following has been tele-
graphed to the Western Associated
Press from Madison:
A new scandal in connection with
the financial affairs of Ex-Gov. Mel
son Dewey, of this State, has re-
Gently come to the surface. 1t has
not yet got into print, but is an
open secret in business and social
circles. 1t was generally known
that, ten or twelve years ago, Gov.
Dewey's wealth, mostly in real es-
tate, was estimated at from $780,
900 to 100000, and previous to
that time, from the period when he
was regarded as one Of the solid
men, and one of the safest and most
conservative men, financially, in the
western part of the State. He was
an intimate friend of the late Benz.
{. Eastman, who succeeded Orsa-
mus Cole in 1851, as member of
Congress from the Second Wiscon-
Sin District, and served two terms
till 1854, when C. G. Washburn
was elected from the same district.
Eastman died in the winter of 18S5,
leaving to his widow a snug little
fortune of about $4,000, and Gov.
Dewey was either the executor
named in the will or he was was
appointed administer of the estate.
He has occupied this relation to the
widow of the deceased ex-Congress-
man since that time, and it was re-
Gently transpired that the estate
was absorbed by him years ago, al
though, until this disclosure, he had
made regular returns to her, and
had managed to make payments as
from the income of the estate to the
heirs. A few years ago Gov. Dew
ey became totally bankrupt, and it
appears that the Eastman estate
was also swallowed up in the catas-
trophe which he met, so that Mrs.
Eastman, now well advanced in life
is left absolutely penniless. Gov.
Dewey built splendid mansion at
Cassville, Grant County, several
years ago, and laid out an estate of
500 acres, but the house was burn
ed, and the lands have been swept
away from his possession. He
married the daughter Of the late
Charles Dunn, Chief Justice of the
Territory, and one of the most pro-
minent men in the State, and he
has had for number of years a re-
sidence at Madison, but he has alb
sented himself for some time past
from home and his family are in a
comparatively destitute condition,
while Mrs. Dewey gives indications
Of mental alteration, which causes
great apprehensions, as her mother,
the widow ofJudge Dunn, commit
ted suicide in fit of insanity a few
years ago. No cause is given or can
be imagined for Gov. Dewey's pee
uniary reverses, and the calamity
to him and his family, as we'll a
to Mrs. Eastman, is as inexplicable
as it is melancholy and complete.

THE Democrat comes out in an
article favoring Doct. w. w. Reed,
Of Jefferson, as the democratic can
didate for Governor. But it is doubt
full if the ex-senator would accept
such an empty honor. However,
if he wants it, and if the democrats
see fit to head their ticket with
Doct. Reeds name, republicans

THE Democrat pitches into the
"policy" democrats who engineered
the Fond du Lac convention two
years ago, and it demands that they
shall be turned out to grass. 1t in
Inmates quite plainly that it will not

back or fiat money foolishness, but
just wait until after the convention
and see it ''whoop it up" for the
nominees, whoever they may be, or
whatever platform they may stand
upon.

Business Suspension.

Friday of last week Senator B.
Bennett succumbed to unsurmount-
able circumstances and made an as
signment of his Threshing Machine
Works and the business connected
Herewith for the benefit of his
creditors. Several disastrous sea-
sons for the sale of machines to-
gether with the late serious fire were
the cause of this failure which is so
universally regretted and deplored.
An estimate of the liabilities shows
them to be about $4,000 and the
assets foot up to the sum of 500, 900
but the portion Of the latter at pres
ent available isnot known just now.
The establishment resumed work
on Monday under the supervision
Of John +. Slight, the assignee,
with Mr.. Bennett as supsrintend-
ent. 1t is proposed after the pres
ent embarrasments have been ar
ranged to organize Joint Stock
Company to operate the Works.
The entiresuspension of this manu-
featuring concern would be re-
garded as dire calamity to our
business interests and destructive
blow to the city. 1t is there
fore to be sincerely hoped that
every effort will be made to keep
the works going with as much ac-
tivity as formerly, giving Mr.. Ben
nett the superintendency of
them. We believe there is gen
eral feeling III business circles that
Mr.. Bennett has done the best pos
sible thing under the circumstances
and that his action has been wholly
influenced by proper motives.

What a truly beautiful world we live
inr Nature gives up grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans. and thous-
ands of means for enjoyment. We can
desire no better when in perfect health;
but how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged aud worried out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August
Flower will make them as free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint is the direct cause of
seventy-tive per cent of such naladies
as biliousness, Indigestion, sick head
ache, cOstiveness. nervous Drostration,
dizziness of the head, palpitation of the
heart, and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles, 10 cents. Try it.
