known as the "middlings," and for

EX-SENATOR HOWE AND GAR
FIELD.

E1LAUs
Ex-senator T. 0. Howe, of Green
Bay, made speech in his town on
Friday night of last week. He was
advertised to make o Republican
speech, which he did in part, and then
he proceeded to make blunder. Two
years ago the 25th of last March he
made g speech in the Senate against
President Hayes, which Justly received
severer rebuke than any speech made
in that chamber since the close of the
war. 1t was an ill-timed speech. 1t
was unnecessarily bitter. It threw the
blame Of the Republicans losing lou
isiana upon the speeches of an innocent
man. His statements were not his
toricaIly correct; and in general the
speech was :. bad blunder.
In his speech at Green Bay last week
he committed another grave blunler.
He was opposed to the nomination Of
General Garfield. He ranks him Is a
"twenty-second'' citizen, instead of Dne
of the first, and in his speech said: "e
therefore thought, and still think, thu
Chicago convention committed on5 o
those plumbers which is first cousin to
O crime when it nominated Garfield in
stead of Grant for President"
Does Mr.. Howe call it q first cousin
to o crime because Grant was not given
o third nomination? Does he call it 4
blunder bordering on q crime to put in
nomination for the Presidency o man
who is second to none in the country in
craftsmanship, in ability, in personal
probity, and whom the nation delights
to honor? Does he call it a blunder
next to crime for the majority in HE
Republican convention to nominste
the most powerful leader in the party
against the personal wish Of the ax-
Senator from Wisconsin? Does he
call it 81 blunder akin to q crime be-
cause the convention, in it's solemn
opinion, gave the Republican party Of

withal one Of the purest public men in

After the election, when James A.
Garfield sweeps almost the entire
