The Madison Journal tells why

As our Wauaca friend-C. H..
Bright-has bee SO free in giving
reasons why We ppose Mr.. Soaring,
1t may be PROF. eror US to give reasons
why he favors tht gentleman and OPP
poses Mr.. Whitfield.
l. A vacancy occurred in the Office
Of School Superintendent in Waupaca
county, during Ir. Searing's term,
and G. NJ. Brigh editor Of the Re
publican, was appinted to ell the va
cancy by the aid Soaring. Mr..
Bright became a candidate for the
same office, but tx people did not APP
prove of the selection MIR. Soaring had
made, and elected another man to the
office. This affore reason for favor
ing Soaring, as hehad better opin-
ion of Bright thanthe people had who
knew him best.
=, The person lected to the off ce
of Superintendent did not qualify and
file his oath of dfice till the second
day of January, hen the time fixed
by law for so deig, is the first. For
this neglect Of dig in taking the Of
fee from Bright. hat gentleman de-
sired to continue to hold the place
that he had been licked out of by the
people OF the couny, through mere
technicality. He, with a few friends,
at once made application at the office
of the State Superintendent to be per-
mitted to hold ove1 The application
reached the Office before Mr.. Soaring
turned it over to Mr.. Whftford. It
was not acted apol by Soaring, but
on turning it over ne remarked to his
successor, that thGe was but one ans
wer to be made to he application, as
the ques ton had been examined and
decided in similar case, by Attorney
General Sloan-th:t County Super
as we'll IS any other off Ger,
could qualify and axe charge of his
Office any time within twenty days af-
ter the time fixed by Law Such be-
ing the condition Of affairs, Mr.. Whit
ford notified Mr. Blight of the decision
of Attorney General Sloan, and per-
mitted the person whom the people
not Brighs. whom they had
to hold the office of County
Superintendent of Schools. This is
why Bright opposes the election of Mr
