Major General Sam Beatty, heretofore
a leading and influential democrat of
Ohio, has come out for the republican
cause. In letter to his friends, publish
ed in The Canton Depository, he explains
his reasons for making the change i'll his
political relations We commend his
views to all good citizens of the democrat
ic faith who desire to "serve their coun-
try best" by right course of action:
"Having stated to some of my friends that I
intended to vote for Foster and the other candi-
dates on the republican ticket, and having been
interviewed and questioned if it be so, etc., de-
sire to say through the columns of your pa
per that my fixed purpose is to support the re-
publican ticket, and to give what influence I
may have to secure the election of that ticket
do this for numerous reasons l could give but
especially upon the questions of finance and
what is known as the question ofstate rights
''The first, in my judgment, is, or at least
should be, considered settled, The paper dollar
the promise of the government, issued because
of the necessity of war, to feed and clothe the
army that put down the rebellion, is to-day
equal in value to gold; and the man or the party
who would disturb or depreciate its value by
over-issue or otherwise, will not support.
''But more serious question than that Of
finance stares us in the face-the same that con
fronted us in 1860 and 1861. Shall the states of
this country be the United States, and shall the
constitution of theseUnited States be the supreme
law ofthe land? The purpose was to settle these
questions by the late war. The noble union
army stood as wall Of fire. between secession
and the union. For four long years we fought
the enemy that rose up to destroy the govern
ment and capture its capital and prevented the
record being made upon the pages of history that
the United States were divided states
Union soldiers of the late war appeal to you
shall these states be divided, whether it be ac-
complished by refusing supplies to the govern
ment officers in command at Fort Sumter, or by
war, or by congress refusing to make the neces-
sary appropriations that the laws of the general
governmen may be entorced-such congress be-
ing controlled by the edicts of King Caucus, and
such caucus controlled by the brigadiers and
generals of the late rebel army?
mo, by the memories of Bunker Hill and the
sutferings at Andersonvine, the union formed by
our fathers, and defended by the late union sol
dieTs, let no man put asunder.' The principles
fought for ON the field of battle, against the
mouth of the cannon, am ready to contend for
and defend at the polls against intimidation and
tissue ballots.
put me down for Foster, 4 sound currency
and national supremacy. r ta.

OF INTEREST TO TAYPA TERS.

The democratic state convention de-
manded more economy in the manage
ment Of state affairs, and greater efforts
to reduce the burdens of taxation; yet
it is q fact that the finances of the state
are now in much better condition than
that in which the republicans found
them at the end Of the last democratic adj
ministration. As an evidence of this
take the following telegram to governor
Smith from the warden of the state
prison:
WAUPUN, October 2,
Balance sheet for fiscal year ending
September 80: Cash on hand, SILL, 900.
90. All bills paid to date No appro-
priation required for ensuing year,
I'll. n. SMITH.
Formerly the prison cost the state
from twenty to thirty thousand dollars
each year, but for the past two or three
years the institution has been self-sus-
tanning. If the people want more econo-
my and less taxation they will keep the
republican party in power. The last
democratic administration was not q
success in the economical line.-W jSc0n-

THE course of The NTilwaus-eo Santinn

THE course of The Milwaukee Sentinel
In its Jnwarranted abuse of E. w. Keyes
Is thus. commented on by The Adams
g pity Press:
1.-THE Milwaukee Sentinel thinks the republi-
cans of this state take any Interest in the personal
quarrel of its editor with E. w. Keys it is great
ty mistaken. They are simply disguised. Keyes
may be no saint; but ATurphy's hate, and his
prostitution of The Sentinel to the medium of
venting his spleen against Keyes, only belittles
The Sentinel. Don't come back and say The
Sentinel fights Keyes because it believes him
bad; we all know it fights him because Murphy
hates him. We have good reason for believing
The SentineIs course is not approved, in this re-
spect, by any considerable number of Milwau-
kee republicans.
What Reyes has done to have stirred
up Murphy's bile we neither know nor
care. We do know, however, that while
Murphy and his Sentinel are doing all
they can to breed dissension and discord
IN the republican party, and kick up a
first class row, Reyes is quietly going
along and Winding his own business,
Iaboring in season and out of season, on
the stump and off Of it, for republican
sncess.

JENKINS JANES g.

Mr.. James G. jenkins, who is at pres
ent ornamenting the democratic ticket as
candidate for governor Of Wisconsin,
does not find smooth sailing on the sea of
politics. He is prominent lawyer of
Milwaukee, who has never held any office
and is represented as a gentleman Of good
ability and untarnished personal reputa-
ton. But it is remembered that he was
copperhead during the rebellion, with
all that the term implies, and that he
sometimes rejoiced over rebel victories.
1t is even asserted, on what appears to be
good authority, that Mr.. Jenkins express
ed his appreciation of the assassination Of
Abraham Lincoln by j. Wilkes Booth,
and was knocked down for his disloyalty.
It is also charged that he made q dicker
with the democratic state central commit
tee, before agreeing to run for governor,
by which he was to have the future sup
port by the democratic party for chief
justice Of the Wisconsin supreme court,
position chat Mr.. Jenkins has had a
laudable hankering after for some years.
His candidacy for the goyernorship at the
present time, if common rumor is to be
believed, is CD the result of a corrupt bar
gain, and (2) is an advertising dodge
whereby he hopes to get prominently be-
fore the people Of the state, preparatory
to his anticipated and coveted elevation
to the supreme bench. Still another
trouble with Mr.. Jenkins is that he was
president Of the democratic convention
at Fond du Lac two years ago. and that
he approved Of the initiation, anti-nation-
al bank and anti-resumption platform
there and then promulgated. Now he is
running on platform financially sound,
though Numerically opposed to the one
on which Judge Mallory was defeated in
1877. That pronunciamento, demanded,
among other things that ''the present re
sumption act be repealed and that the
democracy declares It's opposition to q
longer continuance of the nationl bank
currency, and demands that the govern
ment furnish its own notes in place
thereof" Mr. Jenkins has not yet signi-
fled which of these two platforms he pre-
fers.--lBter Ocean.

JAMES G. JENKINS was the chairman
Of the democratic state convention held
at Fond du Lac two years ago, and good
many democrats want to know whether
he is running upon the rag baby platform
then and there adopted, which he approx
ed of, or whether he has changed front
upon that question. The request that he
should define his position and let the
Light shine, where al IS now darkness,
seems to be entirely reasonable.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, Of New
York, advises the republicans of that
state to scratch Mr.. Cornel's name from
their ticket for governor. George Will
liam Curtis had previously advised the
republicans Of New York not to nominate
Mr.. Cornell for governor. George VII
liam Curtis advice in that case was not
needed, now it is not likely that it will re-
ceive any more consideration in the mat
ter of boiling. IF George William Curtis
will Scratch himself out of the republi-
can party into the democratic party he
will do something for which he will be
everlastingly thanked by all good repub-
Hcans. He is a chronic sore head and
fault finder, and the republican party is
better, off without him than with him.

The hopelessness Ofany republican con-
testant for q seat in the present house Of
representatives having justice done
him..has been demonstrated on several oc-
casions, and hence the pertinence Of the
following from The Chicago Times:
''Haralson, of Alabama, would like to
contest the seat in the house of represen-
tives Of one Shelly, Bourbon, but he has
vivid recolleetions of the night-riders, red
shirts, and bull-dozers of his district, and
confesses that he is afraid to return there,
as he must, if he wishes to secure proof of
the lawlessness resorted to by the demo
Gratis to defeat him. The voters Of the
district are divided on the color line into
twenty-five thousand negroes and five
thousand whites HARRISON believes that
with fair election he would have been
successful, as he is very popular with the
freedmen, being one of them himself Most
people who give the case a moments
thought will agree with him, but Spring
er's committee on election will not.

SaIadee's Eclipse, .

Either as a pleasure or business Buggy, has never
vet been approached in the art Of carriage build
ing. 1t is superior to all other buggies for its
Simplicity, because the complete running gear
of these huggtes is constructed with fewer parts
and pieces than the ordinary side or elliptic bug
gies, and hence, Lightness, Strength and bura-
hility are secured. There being no rigid connec-
ton between the aNles. no violent shock orstrain
can be impaired to the wheels or any other part
of the vehicle,
Anease ofmoton is impaired to the body never
before equaled many kind or class of Pleasure
Carriages, While, at the same time, the buggy
presents an elegance in appearance, and Style
of Finish never yetapproached. The Eclipse is
positively an Anti-Rattling Buggy, there being
no piece or part about the entire gearing that
can ever wear so MS to become loose or ''shaky."
4 New Coupling is substituted for the ordinary
fifth wheel which is anQvelty for its simplicity,
safety, durability and elegance. A Perfect
Track The Eclipse is the first Side Spring
vehicle ever Yet produced without rigid perch,
that will not throw the hind wheels out of track
when one spring is more heavily loaded than the
other, causing the Wagon to pull hard through a
mud or heavy road. There is positively no side
motion to the body when the weight is more on
one side than on the other.

The Milwaukee Evening Dispatch,
(dem.) referring to the rumor that Ex-
Gov. Harrison Huntington has announced
his intention to oppose Gov. Smiths re-

1t is doubtful whether Mr.. Llldington ever au-
thorzed any newspaper in the country to so pub
Iish him. He is well known to be a strict and
meompromising partisan, and never was known
to vote for a democrat in his life, much less to
publicly announce himselfas supporting q demo
cFat for governor.
