THE soldier editor of The Sunday
Telegraph and Peck's Sun, having still a
recollection Of what they fought for in
the rebellion, have had the temerity to
express certain opinions concerning the
democratic party which seem to have
given offense to some of the papers on
that side The Jefferson Banner is one
of these and last week it proceeded to
read The Telegraph and The Sun a lee
tllre, to which the former responds as
follows: "Mr I. T. Carr, the editor of
The Jefferson Banner, is under the inn
preston that there are too many demo-
Gratis in this state, and he therefore reads
the senior editor of The Sunday Telegraph
and the publisher of Peck's Sun, out of
the party. 1t is not so very long ago we
opened the door of the democratic party
to let Carr in. Whether he has acquired
standing old enough to now turn us out
may be questioned" The editor Of The
Banner now has the floor

Yesterdays Elections.
Glorious Republican Victory
DEMOCRATS NO WHERE e!

Elections were held yesterday in Ohio
and Iowa, and both states gave handsome
republican majorities. In Ohio, where
the hardest battle was fought on both
sides, and each was confident of victory,
the republicans carried the day by 25, 900
for the state ticket, and have also pro-
badly carried the Legislature. The chair
man of the republican committee claims
the election of twenty -three out Of thirty
five senators, and seventy out of one
hundred and fourteen representatives.
This is glory enough.
In Iowa, of course, the republicans
came out ahead. The indications are
that the majority over both greenback
and democratic tickets will be 10000;
a gain Of $4,000 over two years ago, and
$4,000 over last year.

THE following TRADE is bad enough to
have originated with The Watertown
RuYldozer, but its real author was Brick
Haneroy, present chairman of the green
hack state committee, who wrote it on
III Davis's being admitted to bail at the
close Of the war:
sfeaory to God III the Highest! In spite OF
rr1mp tyranny, abolition malice, Johnson tint
div. and the hatred of the fanaticai and bigoted
Jefferson Davis once more breathes the air OF
fYeedOm. Ghat is to say as free as it can be in a
r1mp despotism) and walks among his fellows
stbe noblest Roman Of them all Long life and
happy wears to the bravest man of our country
and age"
This reads very much like what APP
reared last week in the democratic organ
down the street, which for propriety S
sake we shall call The Watertown bull
daUer. Possibly The Bulldozer drew Its
iuspiration from this extract, or articles
of Ia similar character which appeared Id
The La Crosse Democrat pending 1.-The
Late unpleasantness."

COUNTY SUPERINTEND EMIT.

It is to be hoped that the voters of JEFF
ferson county will not become so absorb
ed i'll state politics as to lose sight of the
minor offices to be filled at the coming
election. Of these, one of the most inn
portant is that of county superintendent
OF schools, the respective candidates be-
ing c. L. Hubbs and George w. Sloan.
We do not advocate Mr.. Hubs election
simply and only because he is republic
can, but upon the higher ground that he
is the better qualified man of the two for
the position. Mr.. Sloan is VIGOROUSLY
unfit, Intellectually and otherwise, to be
entrusted with the educational interests
OF the county. People who care to vote
intelligently upon the question have on
ly to consult with persons, no matter of
what political party, who have known
Mr.. Sloan as teacher at Juneau, Water
loo, Milford, and other places, and they
will reach the conclusion at once that he
is not worthy of support. The Office for
which he is candidate is not in anv
sense political one, but Mr.. Sloan and
his friends are trying to make it such and
are demanding the solid democratic vote
because he is the party nominee. The
party lash is applied by all the democra-
tic papers in the county, and Sloan's
election urged because they argue that in
democratic Jefferson all the offices should
be filled by democrats. 1t is hopeful
sign, however, when prominent and in
fluential democrats are found breaking
away from this rule and refusing to ego
it blind for an unfit and unworthy dem
ocratic nominee, against his republican
competitor who is his acknowledged SUI
perior every way in character and intel
ligence. Mr.. Hubbs, as a man and a
teacher, stands deservedly high, and not
word can be said against him. He
would fill the office of county superinten-
dent with ability and to the satisfaction
of the public, while it is notorious fact
that Mr.. Sloan, by reason of his mex
perience, lack of information, and other
essential disqualifcations, would reflect
no credit upon the position nor himself.

THE special agent Of the post office de-
partment who was sent to investigate the
shooting of Fred Nix, Jr postmaster at
Blackville, S. c., has made his report to
the department. The report strongly
condemns not only the assailing party,
but the community at large, for not hav-
inc protected the postmaster, and attri-
butes the attack upon Nix to the animosi-
ty arising from his politics and his color.
The department has not as yet taken any
action upon the report but the matter
will be referred to the attorney general,
to ascertain whether anything can legally
be done for the postmaster protection
from further injury. This is one of those
attempts at murder which The
Watertown Bulldozer justifiies as
Gin the interest OF good government and
to rid some suffering community OF mig
ger or carpetbagger domination"

WITH the view OF getting at the bot
tsm facts in the matter and ascertaining
precisely what there was to the Black
hlrn-Dixon difficulty in Yazoo, Miss.
The Chicago Times not long since dis
patched one Of its most trusty and re-
liable correspondents to that place with
instructions to work up the case fully.
He did so, and made a lengthy report,
which called out a vigorous editorial in
The Times, concluding as follows:
"Conceding, Dixon's badness and his quarrel
with Barksdale, it remains indisputable that he
was shot because he threatened the supremacy
fthe democratic party in Yazoo county"
This is good deal for The Chicago
Times to say, as the sympathies Of that
paper are with the democratic party.

TIE Journal gives currency to a petty lie in
charging that Mr.. Jenkins was assaulted in 1862
hr hurrahing for jeff. Davis.-Mddison Democrat.
But the organ of the Watertown demo
cacy in its issue of October 9th speaks
out as follows:
There is no longer doubt that the democrats
have nominated just the right man for governor
The only charge against Mr.. jenkins thus far is
that he rejolced when Lincoln was assassinated
Ifsis satisfaction to know that he was not q
war democrat"
The rejoicing of Mr.. jenkins over
the murder of President Lincoln in 1865
would seem very natural outcome from
shurrahing for JEFF. Davis" in 1862.

PosrMA sTERG General Key reports that

PosTMAsTERGeneral Key reports that
he found several old hard-shell democrats
in Tennessee during his recent visit, who
bewailed the premature arrival Of good
times, on the ground that if they had
waited a little the democratic party would
have had the benefit which they always
bring to the party in power. The trou
bic with that amusing calculation is that
democratic power and prosperity could
not have come together, for the GOOD
times were brought about by the persis
tent fighting Of the republican party
against democratic schemes for further
distress and uncertainty.

If democrats are not pleased with the
ventilation which the war record of their
candidate for governor, Mr.. jenkins, is
receiving they have no one to blame but
themselves. They opened up the ques-
ton by first assailing Gov. Smith, and in
vited the comparison which followed,
showing the many vulnerable points in
their own candidate. They found it a
regular boomerang.
