THE WAY IT LOOKS TO US.

The Madison special correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune closes column
letter in last Saturdays edition of that
paper, on Wisconsin politics, with the
following sensible suggestions:
1.-THE prospects of the Republican
party are certainly very flattering, and
it should make good use of its oppor-
tunities. After deliberate survey of
the situation in all it's different phases,
| am forced to the conclusion that one
of its most effectual means of success
will be found i'll the denomination of
the present State officers, who have
made for themselves so excellent a
record, and who have reflected credit
upon their party by their prudent and
efficient management of State affairs.
Their undoubted fitness for the respec-
tive positions which they occupy, the
general satisfaction which they have
given, their geographical locations, the
recognition of foreign elements en-
TITLED to consideration, and established
precedents, are factors which unite to
make their denomination the strongest
and most available combination for
1879 that can be devised; and, judging
from the state of public sentiment now
existing, | have no doubt that the dis
eliminating judgment of the next con-
yention will be manifested in their en-
dorsement for a second term. Such a
course will be the wise one to pursue.
and will present a ticket that will
prove invincible.

s.TAx PAYERrREPLIEs To"VoTER.

EpIToRs JoURNAL:--FOr the infOrma-
ton of my esteemed friend ''Voter,
of Oak Grove, | desire to explain what
my assertion with regard to forty
acres and mule would imply" " since
he is at loss to know. AT the risk
of being thought somewhat vulgar by
my classical opponent l assume that
slang phrases are often more express
i've to the average reader than ideas
expressed in the choicest dictiOn and
| as they are sometimes employed by
writer's of acknowledged ability, in
nocently took their cue and made use
of the expression "forty acres and a
mule" to convey the idea that while
| lay no claim to great wealth, by years
of industry, frugality and very fair
| health | am fortunately not one OF
those improvident, impecunious indi-
viduals who, while they pay little or
no tax are constantly bowling about
| high taxes; I meant to convey the I'M
preston that while l am perhaps an
average tax payer in this county,
though possibly not so heavy one as
.Voter," believe that railroads aid
very materially in the development of
the country through which they may
be built, and that am willing to be
taxed for the sake of securing a rail
| ..a,1 4I,ra,,xb D;aroa oOupty ftVotar''
says sit seems pity that those who
are possessed only of forty acres and
| a mule to pay taxes upon, should be
allowed voice in questions of as great
| importance as the one now pending.
pay taxes upon property of greater
| value than the amount above indicated
but for the sake of argument we will
assume that | do not. If 'sVoter is
"up to snuff excuse slang--he
knows that under existing laws in all
questions, both great and small, in
which the right of suffrage is involved
the vote of qualified elector possess
ed of no property, goes just as far as
that of a millionaire. From the ex-
preston of pity above quoted are we
to infer that he is in favor of disfran-
chising all men who do not own to ex-
coed forty acres of landl While 1t is
obviously the duty of every man upon
whom others are depending for sup
port to accumulate property, because
he has been unable to possess himself
of more than forty acres--''forty acres
and a mule" if you please--should he
be disfranchised and not allowed "a
voice in questions of as great import
. ance as the one now pending" when a
question of taxation is inyelvedi What
does the sturdy pioneer whose landed
possessions are limited to the amount
OF forty acre tract think of such
propositionl AS Voter coneede:
the advantages that | claim raj
road would bring ! need not here en-
. large upon them. In delicate way h'
scouts the idea of competition: thu
general reader knows that railwa.
competition is not purely an imagina
~ vision. TAXPAYER.
