CErYwAYo, the Zulu king is finally
defeated. On leaving the last battlefield
he told his chiefs to look to their OWE
.afety and make their own terms with

Ii was believed last week that the vel

succumb to the hard times. The liabiIi
ties amount to $1,000 but the stock o
the Journal is worth much more. The

We fail to see wherein the democratic
party would derive any advantage from
the election of COL Bouck as governor
Of Wisconsin. The Sixth district at bes
is a very close one and democratic sue
cess under Bouck's leadership woult

duction of that majority as it is thai
Wisconsin should have a democratic
government. There is no good reason
why we should welcome two uncertain
conflicts when every purpose may be
served with one.
There are many men in the state fully
rs strong, politically, as Bouck whose
election would not be at the cost of such
a sacrifice as i'll Bouch's case. He does
not so tower above others in popularity
rs to justify his nomination in the face
of his being a democratic representative
from republican district. Let us look
for a candidate elsewhere.
