IMPORTANT TO EVERY ,VhTER.-A
part OF our space is devoted to the
address Of the Parish Executive
Committee, which should be care
fully read by every voter in the Par
ish. TIE failure Of the Democrats
to max an active canvass of the en-,
tire State, may result in a feeling of
lukewarmness or Of. Indifference re-
sulling from overconfidence, which
may prove disastrous. This address
sets clearly before you the duties Of
the hour, and you cannot respond
with too much alacrity to its words
of warning. Bear in mind that a
single vote may determine who is to
be the next President Of the United
States. r.

Senator Scott.

The last Tribune with character
istic disregard for the truth, and with
malignancy which it were better it
had stifed, vents it's spleen upon Sen
ator Scott in the utterance of ahalf doz.
en- bald lies, Only two we will notice
The Tribune says that Senator Scott
''pays no taueS here" Senator Scott
pays taxes upon a hundred thousand
dollars a0orth Of property at least, in
the district which he has represented
for eight years, and which he will rep
resent the two coming years at the
state capitol. Not a voter in this
county but knows that Senator Scott
has done for Wood county what nc
other man could have done, in saving
US over hundred thousand dollars in
railroad debt alone; and that we were
able TO procure money from the state
on long time wherewith to meet the
new obligations which emancipated us
from the old, and that only through
Mr.. Scott earnest work was the fact
accomplished. Wood County and the
18th district have no better friend
than Senator Scott. It is folly, we
know, to notice anything the Tribune
says in It's partHan madness, and We
are half inclined 10 overlook its chron-
ie lying in view IF the fact that Sen
ator Scott will have larger majority
in 1880 than at any election since
1872.

Under the present city administra-
ton, more permanent improvements
have been made than during any pre-
vious one to our knowledge. Not
withstanding the food and all its dam
ages the city fathers have rebuilt the
streets. sidewalks, piers, etc., better
than ever, and have put in new walk
on the west side of high street, known
as Quality Row, from Neeves to La
Breches, replaced the east side, and
built new walk on Drake street along
Frechetts. and on Oak street near
Spafords. also along River street to-
ward the Green Bay depot, and most
of this work has been done without
issuing an order. the city paying cash
every Saturday night for its labor and
material Truly our city is growing
on a sound financial basis and in one
or two years at most, taxes will be
down low. CeHtralia is likewise in
good financial condition. The orders
of both these cities float at par for
goods and at very small discount for
cash. County orders are also almost
at par and will soon be as good as cash
as under the present management of
affairs, economy has been the watch
word, and our county business was
never in better condition. Don't fail
to vote for these men whenever an
opportunity affords itself.
