The Democrats and Greenback men in
Wisconsin are making efforts to unite on
Representative BRAGG as candidate for
Governor. We object to this arrangement.
General BRAGG's proper place is in the
House. So long as his district cannot be
carried by the Republicans he is too useful
to the country at large where he is now to
be sacrificed in a vain effort to become q
Democratic Governor in n Republican State.

"ALL the legitimate expenses of the Gov
"ernment have been provided for" is the
boast of the Democratic organ. Aud 1t is .
lying boast, for all the world knows that
Congress failed to make necessary appro-

the United States courts, as well as to per-
NIT tho marshals to protect the property of
the Government now in their hands. 1t is
possible, however, that the expenses ordi-
narily incurred for these purposes are not
Legitimate in the eyes of the organ.
