Sth-JOHN I. KINGSTON.
GARFIELD AND ARTHUR.
The Republicans Of this county are
alive to their interests and have al
ready thoroughly organized club for
the purpose of showing their Demo
cratic brethren they are far from dead,
or even scared in the least as to the
result Of the fall elections. Demo
cratic bowling IS Of but little avail.
The nominees Of the Republican party
are far superior to the Democratic
nominees both as Men and Statesmen,
as is acknowledged by all unprej udic-
ed democrats Gen. Hancock was a
good Soldier and when that is said all
is said that can be in favor CT his
election. He represents bad party
and one which the people will not
trust with the rcins Of government.
That is a settled fact We publish
below the Republican State Central
Committees circular which is directly
20 the point and expresses the situa-
ton truthfully:

MINIATURES, July 10th, 1880
Once more we are entering a con-
test upon the result of which depends
the continued welfare of the Ameri-
can people-a struggle from which if
we would we cannot shrink without
peril to free institutions Despite
attempts to disguise issues, this is but
a continuance of the contest, which
began generation since in the efforts
of the southern wing of Democracy
to denominate the policy Of that par
ty; in which, unhappiIy, it was only
to successful, at what terrible cost all
we'll know
We shall not act wisely by relying
upon our strength, while undertaking
that of our opponents. Oyerwhelm-
ingly defeated at the polls last autumn,
the Wisconsin section of the Demo
cratic party has for many months suf-
fered the pangs of dependency. But
oil and wine have been poured into
their wounds by their confederates of
other states, and with most admirable
pluck, worthy better cause, they are
again preparing to contest the State
with us. Their old flags are being
brought out, and we may depend up
on it that Wisconsin will be canvassed
by them from the base line to Lake
Superior, with an energy and with
methods hitherto unknown in Wiscon-
sin politics The Democratic cam
paign fund will not be sent a week too
late in 1880.
Wisconsin is safe for a rousing Re
publican majority, if Republicans
work and labor for it; bit only upon
that condition. We must not deceive
ourselves The managers who en-

foul, to carry their ends.
Mayhap that this year the victims
will not be the poor black men. nor
yet the white immigrants, deluded
into believing that northern energy,
skill and capital would find hospita-

of the South. The recent unblushing
attempts to steal the government of
the State of Maine, suggests the des-
perate character Of the means to be
employed to get possession Of Govern
