hope of rcgaining Republican respect.
is 10y promptly withdrawing from the
field, and avoid imperiling Republi-
can ascendancy in the First District.
1t is Mr.. Dmncll'S houmden duty to

CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A
JEWEL,

The Republican Journal, writing OF
county politics in its last issue, speaks
thus of the opposition: 1T will not
fail to circulate any falsehood, how.
ever malicious, against our candidates,
or to adopt any other measures, how
ever questionable, to prejudice the
ticket in the minds of the people,
: "We have an enemy to com.
bat that is INSCRIPTIONS and active"
&C., &c,
After the Democratic County Con.
vention the Journal spoke very highly
of the gentlemen who compose the
Democratic ticket, and Justly, too.
They are among our most reputable
citizens, and capable of worthily dis
charging the duties of the various Off
ces to which they were nominated.
The reason offered by the Journal why
these men should not be elected was q
very good one-K enosha county is Re
publican, and should see that good Re-
publicans are elected to office. The
Journal viii gain no good by this ma
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-10-15

licious mud throwing; the Republican
party will gain nothing by it, and oul
candidates win only suffer by it. The
low-down style of political warfare in
dulged in by the Journal will be met by
the scorn of all honorable men, what.
ever their politics. If the Journal
told the truth about the gentlemen OF
the Democratic ticket at the time OF
their nomination, what is it telling now
in characterizing them as it does?
Our county politics, for several years,
has been conducted in a very clean,
honorable manner. Any other course
is degrading. Intrinsically, there is
nothing dishonorable or degrading in
politics; it is the vileness of vile men
who get into it that gives it its bad
odor.
Every one of the Republican candi-
dates ought to be elected. There are
dozens of good reasons why they should
be. All the candidates and all their
friends should bury personal prefer
ences and work and vote for the whole
ticket. The present political contest
is of no less Importance than when our
fathers and brothers were perilina
life and all On the field of battle. A
vote for a Democratic candidate is a
connivance with disunion and the I'M
doing of the results of a four years
war. In this crisis we would not vote
for our own brother if he was a Demo
Graf.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTERS.
From our Regular Correspondents.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. sth, 1880.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. Sth, 1880.
There is a tremendous commotion
over Grants merciless comments on
Hancock. 1t is the truth which hurts
most always, and it is the manifest ac-
curacy of Grants estimate Of the SUI
perb-" ambitious, vain and weak.
which makes such squirming. The
explanation of Order No. 40 is precise
ly in accord with the spirit of the or
der itself, and there can be no question
of its truthfulness. He did not SUBJ
ject the military power to the civil,
but he used his military power to over
throw the civil" This is merely the
truth of history. Hancock did this,
and did it in the interest of the "Solid
South" He was eager to do Southern
bidding at the close of the war, and he
is just as eager to-day.
General Butler in his speeches in
Maine, speaking of the ship building
interests being PROSTATE, asked what
had the Republican party done to build
up that industry on our coasts. But
Ter forgets that itjwas the Democratic
party that destroyed that industry, and
that the same party has had control of
the House of Representatives for near
" six years and the Senate for nearly
two years, and in all this time what
measure has thatFparty introduced or
advocated to build up that important
branch of our industry. They cannot
point to one act. On the contrary,
they introduced a bill to repeal the law
excluding foreign vessels from the
coasting trade, and permitting vessels
from all nations to compete with our
own.
The kilograms and papers from the
West come laden with news of the
vigorous prosecution of the political
campaign in the West. While the
elections in Georgia and Delaware are
disposed of in a short paragraph, every
indication pointing to the triumph of
one party or the other is displayed
with flaring head lines. Senators
Conkling and Blaine are almost night
ly speaking to their tens of thousands,
and a glorious work they are doing.
At the Democratic headquarters
here advices from Indiana are far
from satisfactory. Great dissatisfac-
ton is expressed at English's manage
ment, on the ground that he has not
accomplished anything like what was
expected of him. A considerable sum
was sent to the Democratic managers
at Indianapolis yesterday. The Re-
publican leaders have advised renewed
energies in the whole state of Ohio.
Many clerks are now leaving here
for the West. Those unable by vari-
Gus, to take advantage of the half fare,
are going on freight trains.
John Kelley, the famous Tammany
chief, is melting his followers to resist
by force all attempts Of the Federal
officers to arrest illegal voters.
Congressman Blackburn, OF Ken
lucky, surnamed the " WIPER says of
Garfield: at believe he has nosuperior
in point Of intellect, culture or power
within the limits of his party. | be-
lieve he has as broad brain, and an
intellect as big as any man you can
find within the Republican party

OHIO AND INDIANA.

These two States held elections on
Tuesday, Oct. 70. Ohio speaks in tones
of thunder for Liberty, Union and Ma
tiOnal Sovereignty, and against turning
the country over to the rule of the men
who fought four years for it's destruc-
ton. A gain Of six members of Con
gress is claimed, making the Congress
sional delegation fifteen instead of nine.
AT this writing complete returns
have not been received from Indiana,
put there is enough to show that the
$4,000 Democratic majority of 1878 is
wiped out and the election Of Porter
the Republican candidate for governor
is claimed by 1000 to 5000 majority
If there were any doubts about how
Ohio and Indiana would vote on Nov
2, the sun of a glorious October victory
has dispelled them. They will be solid
for Garfield and Arthur, solid for hui
man rights and the equality of all men
before the law, and solid for National
Sovereignty.

The latest returns from Indiana give
Porter's Republican, majority over
Landers for Governor at about 0,OOO,
and say it is almost certain that the
Republicans have a majority of eight
on joint ballot in the legislature, which
insures the return of Republican to
succeed Mcdonald in the United States
Senate. In Ohio the Republicans have
elected fifteen out of twenty Congress-
men. 1t is calculated that Townsend's
majority for Secretary of State will be
close to 10000, and McIlyaine's plural
ity for Supreme Judge will be near
$4,000.
