STATE TAX. FOR 1880.

The total assessed value of all taxa
Bile property in Wisconsin as fixed by
the State Board of Assessment for the
present year is $445, 582,7 100, upon
which the State tax is 1862, 05S.63, be-
ing a very small fraction over one and
four thousand eight hundred and fifty
eight ten thousandths mills per cent.
This is somewhat greater than the
State tax of 1879, on account of the
large amount of extraordinary apprO-
priations made last winter, rendered
necessary by tie burning of the Deaf
and Dumb Institute, the construction
of the Milwaukee County Insane Asyl-
um, the Indebtedness of the State Hos
pital for the Insane and for improve
ments at the different State Institu-
lions. AS an item of interest to our
readers we give below statement of
the valuation of Pierce and st. Croix
counties by the State Board, for the
past eleven years, together with the
State tax and rate per cent:

SOUTHERN osr RACIsM g..

AS a part of the general plan for
making the South solid the Democrat
ic leaders inaugurated system of So
cial ostracism against those who adj
hered to the principles of the Republi
can party; and this ostracism did not
stop with their Punishment from So
ciety; those who dare entertain politi-
cal sentiments at variance with those
of modern Democracy are refused
ment by the Confederate Democrats
of the South. One who invests capt.
tai there in mercantile pursuits is de-
MED patronage by the ruling element
unless he is of their political faith; a
poor man willing to labor for bread
for himself and family is denied en-
ployment unless his ideas of political
economy correspond with the regula-
ton creed. These are facts which
have repeatedly been truthfully stated
by the Republican press and speakers,
but Northern Democrats stigmatize
them as campaign lies and thus dis
miss them. Ex-Governor Perry, of
South Carolina, a rebel and conse-
quently Democrat, sustains these
charges in the following language:
1.-The poor, miserable, unprlncipled
white man who tries to restore the
Radical party to power in South Caro-
lima should be socially oStracised, and
not eUei sPoIe1, to on the streets. The
colored man should be told that his
leaders are making tool of him only
to crafty their pitiable ambition, and
to have chance of stealing his hard
earnings. He should be told, too.
that if he will vote to put rogues and
scoundrels into office and power no
honorable Democrat seU employ him IN
aRy rdy. This should be resolved on
and adhered TO throughout the State
social oStrGcism for the sehite man,
ana no employment for the cotored
man. What do our people of the
North who are accustomed to free
speech, freedom of opinion. procur-
ing trade and employment in every
legitimate way, think of a political
party the ruling element of which in
sixteen states banishes a man from So
ciety and denies him the privilege Of
making an honest living unless his
political sympathies are with thoss;
who have sought and are now seeking
the overthrow of the best Government
on earth? No party which under a
free government of the people, by the
people and for the people, is RESPONSE
bic for 4 system of social ostracism,
denial Of trade and employment, IN
timidation and assassination because
Of political opinion, should ever be
given control of the destinies of the
Nation. There is not a single tenable
reason why it should, and there are
many reasons why it should not.

The Democrats DespOndent
Ohio 10000 for the Union
Indiana 1000 to 5000 Re-
publican
English's Barrel Don't Hold
Out!
The Boys in Blue Don't Forget
The Old Issues

Returns from Ohio show that that
noble old State has fully answered the
expectations of the Republican
leaders and cast 10000 majority for
Republican candidates.
News from Indiana was at first con-
tiicting, but later reports give a Re-
publican majority of 900 to 5000.
Indiana has been the battle ground
where each party has sought to dis
play their full strength. For some
weeks the Democrats have been levy
ing assessments upon the northern
towns and cities for cleo ton expenses
and importing voters in unprecedent-
ed numbers. But the Republican
leaders have not been idle. Relying
moreupon the right of their cause than
upon the spurious argument of the bar
rel they have fought good fight and
won.
The effect upon the November cleo
ti0ns will be marked, and while the
Republicans cannot afford to be idle
the result in Ohio and Indiana will
give an impetus to the good cause.

COUNTY CONVEN-
TON.

The Democratic County Convon tio on
held at Ellsworth on Thursday last
was presided over by E. B. Holmes,
Esq, of this village, with E. H. Ives,
of Prescott, as secretary. The num-
Der of delegates that attended the Con-
vention does not indicate very deep
interest in the result on the part of
the rank and Gle of the party, and the
enthusiasm that prevailed can best be
described by comparing it with fun
eral. The convention as an organized
body was burdened with but little
work, the slate having been made up
by the bosses, when it was endorsed
by reclamation, as follows: Member
of Assembly, S. j. Fox, Rock Elm;
Sheriff, Hersey y. Lord, River Falls;
County Clerk, J. w. Hancock, present
incumbent; Treasurer, T. J. Griffin,
Prescott; Register of Deeds, Ed. Fitz-
gerald, Ell Paso; Clerk of Court, NJ. NJ,
Sanderson, Ellsworth; District Attor-
ney, w. S. Lauder, Prescott; Survey
er, - Lamport, Spring Lake; Coro-
ner, j. B. Maxgood, Gilman.
Against the personnel of this ticket
we have nothing to say. Our objec-
tion to its election rests in the fact
that the candidates of which it is COM
posed are put forward as representa-
tives of that party controlled by SOL
id South, which practically denies the
right of the majority, by fair ballot,
TO rule the Nation; of the party of
States rights, secession, reputation
and dishonOr; of the party which
changes its position on leading ques-
tions simply to obtain power, subor-
dinating principle to its intense desire
to re-instate into full and undisputed
possession of the Government, those
who with Jefferson Davis went into
rebellion against it. Should the
Greenbackers ignore entirely the
makeup of the Democratic ticket they
will manifest a commendable adher-
ence to principle, and at the same
time deprive the Democratic party of
Pierce County of an important ele-
ment of strength.
Andrew RAIDER, Thomas Hurley, E.
B. Holmes and j. NJ. Copp, were elect
ed delegates to the Democratic Con-
vention. E. B. Holmes, Andrew Rad
er and J. W. Hancock, were selected
County Committee.

THE CANDIDATES.

The Convention which met on Tues
day of this week was one especially
remarkable for the unaminity with
which the result of the votes were re-
ceived. There was no contest upon
any of the officers except that of the
Clerk of the Court and the District
Attorney, and in these cases the de-
feated candidates accepted the situa-
ton cheerfully and avowed their de-
termination to support the entire tick
ct with their whole strength.
For Member of Assembly Mr.. f. l..
Gibson was chosen unanimously. Mr..
ellison has held the office of District
Attorney acceptably for many years,
and has won the esteem of the citi-
zens of the county by his devotion to
duty, untiring zeal in the Republican
cause and attractive personal pres
ence. at every assembly where he
may he present Frank is sure TO be
called upon for a speech, and is as

the Assembly to the respect with
which our county is regarded and will
make an honest and efficient member.
For Sheriff the unanimous choice of
the Convention fell upon A. II. Lord,
of River Falls. Mr.. Lord is too well
known to the citizens of this place to
need any enconium from us, and we
would say to those of our readers who
do not have the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance with him that he has
been life long Republican, although
many of his relatives accept the oppo-
site doctrine; that he has held the Of
flee of deputy sheriff for some years
with much success, proving a compe-
tent officer in every business matter
entrusted to his care and faithful in
criminal business. The Treasurer,
Mr.. i. B. White, is well known in the
southern portion of the county, and
during the past two years has won
many friends by his untiring diligence
and urbanity. Mr.. Knox Lewis Of
Hartland, the present Register of
Deeds was also again selected as a can
didate for that position. OF Mr.. Lew
is it is only necessary to say that dur
ing the term Of his office he has made
no enemies and many friends. Com
paratively a stranger to many of the
citizens of the county when first elect
ed, he has now hosts of allies In every
portion and will receive the full vote
of the party with many additions from
the Democratic ranks, of those who
recognize the advantage of having a
person in that Office who is thorough
ly competent o perform the duties
and can with this combine the quail
tiles of patience and a spirit of ac-
commodation. Jens B. Jensen, the
present Clerk of the Court, was Sc
lected against his own wishes as the
candidate for office of the Clerk of the
County Board. Mr.. Jensen is a Nor
wegian of excellent education and
culture. and eminently fitted by his
business training for the arduous du-
ties of this office. In no position in
the gift of the people of the county
can one be placed under more respon-
sibility, and no where is it more nee
essary to put man who has been tri-
ed and found capable: and the two
years past in which Mr.. Jensen has
performed to the entire acceptance Of
the people and the bar the peculiar
duties of Clerk of the Court have

shown that he is to be fully entrusted
with the perhaps more responsible
but not more particular duties of
County Clerk. j. S. Rounce of Trim
belle, was selected to take the present
place of Mr.. Jenson. that of Clerk of
the Court. Mr.. Rounce is gentle
man of much intelligence although of
a retiring disposition and not general
ly known in the county at large. His
training has been in the line of BUSH
ness, having had charge for some
years of a machine shop and foundry,
having acquired habits OF business ac-
curaey and being affable in manner
and disposition will make an accepta-
BILE and competent officer. Mr.. Frank
Ross, of Prescott, was after some CON
test, chosen for the Office of District
Attorney. Mr.. Ross is yet a young
man, but has had considerable eXper-
fence in his profession, and especially
in the line of crimina prosecution,
having had charge of the famous
whiskey suits in Prescott, where he
won admiration from all for his firm
but courteous persistency in his duty.
Mr.. Ross has an exceedingly pleasant
and is one of those who
win friends in advance. Mr.. Schulthess,
the present efficient County Surveyor,
was again chosen for that posi- ton.
The record of Mr.. Schulthess is excel
lent, no fault so far as we know having
been found with his acts during the
period in which he has held the office,
and no more competent surveyor can
be found in the county. DR.. c. L.
Burroughs, of Maiden Rock, was hon
ored with the nomination for the Of
fee of Coroner, and his ability to dis.
charge the onerouS duties of the Office
are unquestioned.

GOVERNOR CoLQUrrT, of Georgia, was
reelected Governor at the recent cleo
