Statement of Facts.

Party feeling ran high last Friday eve
ming when both parties were parading the
streets. The republicans published their
line of march, and every effort was made
to avoid coming in contact with the dem
ocratic procession. But the democrats
not taking as much precaution, the pro-
cessions passed each other at the corner of
Main and 4th streets. The republicans
having been provided with skyrockets to
send up on the line of march thought to
give the procession of the opposition a
salute with a few rockets. The result
was that some of the horses in the demo-
cratic line became frightened, but we are
glad to note that no particular damage
was done. Democrats have stated that
the rockets were fred for the purpose Of
frightening the horses. This is not true,
and every republican in the line was sor-
ry that the thing happened. We dare
say the horses were not thought of when
the rockets were fired. With the above
exception the lines passed each other as
gentlemen and neighbors should. But
we cannot say as much for the loaters and
rowdies who surrounded Music Hall when
the republican meeting was IN session,
and made the night hideous with their
hurrahs for Hancock. Boys were in the
crowd, to be sure, but the leaders were
full grown men and voters. We could
mention the names of some, but we for
bear this time, hoping that a sense OF de-
cency will take possession OF them on the
occasion Of another republican meeting.

M9's. MGcE'S Trial

AS already announced, Mrs. Mack's
second trial for the murder of her hus-
band has ended at Jefferson in the dis
agreement of the jury. The case is of so
much interest that its chief points will
bear reca pitulation, and are briefly as fol-
lows: Two years ago the husband of
Mrs. Mack was found dead in his stable
one morning under such circumstances as
left no doubt upon the minds of the
neighbors but that he had been murdered.
Suspicion fastened upon Mrs Mack. and
one Dickerson, the hired man, as the per-
petrators of the horrible crime. Improp-
er intimacy had existed, it is charged, for
some time between Dickerson and Mrs.
Mack, and they were both arrested and
brought to GAINESVILLE and lodged in jail.
On the trial, Dickerson turned states
evidence, played the sneak and coward
most completely and gave the woman
away He confessed to their illicit love
with all that the term implies-all of
which Mrs Mack has stoutly denied
from first to last. Dickerson hoped to
get clear by such confession, but the
court gave him term Of ten years in the
state prison. Mrs Mack was found
guilty of murder, but the case was car
ried to the supreme court, and, after
long delay, a new trial was granted her.
The second long and wearisome trial has
just ended at Jefferson, where it was tax
en- on change Of venue. In both trials,
Mrs Mack's leading counsel was Hon.
John Winans, Of GAINESVILLE, who con-
Quoted the case with great ability and
shrewdness. On the first trial he was
taken out of the case on the day he was
to address the jury by the sudden death
Of his own wife. So that the responsible
ity Of the defense fell upon the Junior
counsel who had not expected to per-
form that duty. 1t is the general opinion
now that Mrs. Mack will never be put
upon trial again, but that if she is really
| guilty of the horrible crime of murder

Dodge County Politics.

The trials and tribulations of the
Dodge county regular" democracy fol
the present campaign commenced last
Friday at their county convention held at
Juneau. The proud democracy of the
"banner democratic county of the state
have been In process of decay and
decentralization for some time, through
the acts of dishonest and corrupt officers
and the guidance of party leadership as
low and contemplate as ever disgraced
the politics of Wisconsin. A few of the
democratic statesmen who represent the
"powers that be- set up the pins and the
result of their patriotic labors was the
nomination of the following ticket:
Senator-A. X. Delaney, Mayville.
Sheriff-John Becker, Rubicon.
Treasurer-W. Schweifel, Lebanon.
Register-F. M. Brewer, Fox Lake.
Dist. Attorney-J. B. Hays, Horizon.
Clerk of Court. E. Malone, Beaver
Dam.
County Clerk-A. M. Groat, Oak
Grove.
The absence of George Schott for
treasurer, and John Scion for clerk of the
board, gives the ticket away badly, these
officers being universally considered able,
honest and honorable men, but who in
consequence of these attainments did not
suit the ringsters who propose to rule the
democratic politics Of Dodge county as
long as time shall last. Still it was
thought best not to ignore Mr.. Schott and
accordingly he was renominated for treas
urer, but withdrew his name declaring
that he could not accept the nomination
unless his associates were men in whom
he could have confidence. Mr.. Schott
became settled in this determination when
John Scion was thrown overheard for the
office of county clerk, position he had
filled for one term to the entire satisfac-
ton of the people of the county regard
less of politics. The selection OF this
ticket was the signal for an open bolt by
the better elements of the democratic
party of old Dodge, who have finally
come to the conclusion that they have
been brow-beat and imposed upon by a
lot of vile and unprincipled leaders until
f0rbearance ceases to be virtue The
disatfected democrats united with the re-
publicans at the county convention Of the
latter held yesterday and presented in the
interest Of law, order, decency and hon
esty in the administration of affairs in
Dodge county, the following ticket for
the active support Of the people:
Eli Hawks-Senator.
G H. Lawrence Sheriff
George Schott-Treasurer.
G. Reudebusch-Register.
r. X. Butterfield-Clerk of Court.
John Solon-Clerk of Board.
E. 2. Smith-District Attorney.
J. Prentice-Surveyor.
j. Johns-Coroner
This is an excellent ticket and made up
of good men from both parties. The sue
cess of every candidate ought not to be
a matter Of doubt. The people of Dodge
county owe it to themselves AID their
best interests to elect it triumphantly.

The Jefferson Banner SAYS that dur.

The Jefferson Banner says that dur
ing Mr.. Benefits final plea in the Mack
trial, letter was handed to AIr. Winans,
substantially as follows:
STEVENS POINT Wis. ,-,16So,
I was discharged from the state penitentiary
on the 9th day Of August. On the 4th day of
July had conversation with Dickerson, and
he stated that Mrs Mack was innocent of the
murder of her husband and that he Dickerson)
and another man murdered him for his money
JOHN RIVER.
The writer expressed his willingness to
go to the stand and swear to the above,
and when Mr. Winans showed the letter
to Judge Conger be promised to give Mrs
Mack a new trial in case she was con-
victed. The trial SO far has cost Rock
county upwards Of $4,000, and it is
thought doubtful if Mrs. Mack can be
convicted, as no jury seem inclined to
believe Dickerson.

The Republican, DEMONSTRATION

The Republican, Demonstration
The complete success that attended the
grand republican demonstration held in
this city last Friday evening has made
every republican here feel iubilant aud
happy. At half past seven o'clock the
Garfield and Arthur Guards formed in
line in front Of their headquarters carry
ing torches and paraded some Of the
principal streets, presenting a fine APP
pearance as they marched with steady
tread keeping step TO the soul-stirring
music of the WatertoWn brass band. The
residences Of many republicans along the
line Of march we're brilliantly Illuminated,
compliment highly appreciated by the
guards, and skyrockets and other fireworks
were sent up at intervals in the process
sion, all adding to the beauty and grand
eur OF the scene. After a march, which
occupied about an hour, the guards broke
ranks at Music Hall, where a crowded
house, large portion being ladies, was
already awaiting the speaking. Casper
Butz, OF Chicago, was the first to address
the vast assemblage, which he did n
German, and the able, clear and emphat-
ic manner with which he handled the pc
litical questions now agitating the coun-
try, won for him rounds upon rounds Of
applause and showed that he had struck
popular chord among his eountrymen.
Mr.. Butt was followed by Hon. Elihu
Coleman, Of Fond du Lac, republican
candidate for member Of congress against
General E. S. Bragg. The lateness OF
the hour made it necessary for Mr.. Cole
man to go over his ground hastily, and
touch upon his points for only a short
time. But all agree that Mr.. Coleman
made splendid use of the brief moments
left him, treating his subject in most
able manner and winning for himself the
careful attention of his audience That
portion of his speech devoted to the ven
tilation of the indiosyncrasies Of General
Bragg On the financial question, found
most appreciative listeners among the
hard money Germans present, and
the straddling, double-dealing, incoherent
and unsound position taken by General
Bragg from time to time upon the all alb
sorbing subject of the nations finances
as shown up by Mr. Coleman, fairly
brought down the house. Mr.. Coleman's
effort rather convinced the audience that
General Bragg displayed wisdom in declin-
ing Mr.. Coleman's challenge for ajoint dis
cussion of political questions throughout
the Fifth district. 1t was quite apparent
that it would take only one meeting for
General Bragg to be completely used up
by his adversary, and as Mr.. Coleman ex-
pressed it, General Bragg was too cunning
to allow him to talk to his democratic
audiences. At the close of Mr.. Coleman's
speech Hon. L. B. Caswell being present
was called for, and as he stepped forward
was loudly cheered. The hour being late
precluded lengthy remarks from him, and
after expressing thanks to the citizens
of Watertown, irrespective of party, for
the generous support they had always
given him, Withdrew. The meeting
closed with three cheers for Garfield and
Arthur, three cheers for the speakers of
the evening, and the singing of a choice
campaign song by the ladies and gentle
mems glee club.

A writer from Indianapolis in The
Sunday Telegraph has this to say Of
former Watertown people who have taken
up their residences in that city: The
Hon. Myron B. Williams, a pioneer Of
Watertown, Wis, of which place he was
postmaster under the old democratic
regime, besides serving a term as senator
from Jefferson county, has resided here q
number of years. After the panic Of 1878
business so crowded the courts that an
additional judgeship was created for the
Superior court Of this (Marion) county,
and he was appointed to fillit. Business
having decreased, at the end Of three
years this extra judgeship was abolished.
Judge Williams is now candidate on the
democratic ticket to succeed one Of the
Judges of the same court, whose term ex-
pires soon. The republican majority in
the county is about 1000, so the chances
are against him, but ne may pull through.
All good Wisconsin people will hope for
his success.
The Rev. Myron w. Reed enjoys a
great popularity here. He is pastor Of
the First Presbyterian church, and re-
sides at $50 North Pennsylvania avenue.
Henry Coe and Charles B. Coe are here,
both in the insurance business, the latter
as general state agent Of the Northwest
ern Mutual Life. They are brothers of
Ed. Coe, ofThe Whitewater Register, and
the former married daughter of Judge
Orion Of the Wisconsin supreme court,
the latter a daughter Of Myron 3. Will
