The Benton Record has been enlarged. 1t
is how Il very large paper, by far the largest
in northern Montana. 1t is now about the
size Of the Benton town site, and will keep
pace with the increase in that towns area.
If it continues to be enlarged the postage on
it will soon amount to more than the sub
scription price. 1t is said that one of the edi-
tors is IA laly, which accounts for the enlarge
ment. 1t is The height of absurdity to ex-
pecL one of her sweet sex to croWl her op;n-
ions into a paper less thtn ten feet square.
When she becomes rich from her salary, she
will probably retire. The Record will thus
be enlarge AID improved.

The Campaign Opening.

With the meeting of the County
Executive Committee OH the Gath Of
April the campaign will open in Fair
field. The State Convention does not
meet until June, and tho County Con-
vention will be held sometime in Nav.
1t does not follow that tho campaign
williopcn vigorously for some months
yet. Still it Is well for Democrats to
begin thinking Of their duties and re-
sponsibilities. Public opinion should
crystalline upon the question of nomi-
mating State ticket in June, and able
and discreet delegates should be sent
to Columbia to speak tic mind of
Fairfield.
The Radicals arc working secretly
but vigorously. Whether their Coun-
ty Convention will be held in NVinns-
boro or In some hidden locality is not
known. They need not expect to
gain anything by still hunt, and
might as we'll show their hands at
once. Fairfield is Democratic county
and it will remain so for years to
ooino.

Major Woodward for Congress.

and there is a possibility that the Con-
gressional Convention will be held at
a not distant day, VIC ask the voters of
the Fourth District to consider tho

preparations from the public treasury.
6. The Democratic party now comes
before the country without a. single af-
firnative principle except such as it has
stolen from the Republican party, and

ing relic of the exploded doctrine of

frage disappeared the one cohesive prin-
ciple of the original Democracy, that is,
slavery. Since that time it has shifted
its ground in every campaign, and re-
sembles the old party. whose name it
bears only in it's total lack of all princi-
pie, its hostility to the idea of Federal
unity and supremacy, and it's greediness
for the spoils of office.

A Formula for Determining Democrat

The Democratic platform reads: ''The

statistics of the ninth census and in the

In the Southern States the negro popu-
lationis not included in the figures given

Gratis then used to ''foster" the educa-
ton of the blacks with the cat-o'-nine
tails, and proyerbially the influence of
tradition is strong. In justice to De-
mocracy, ignorant blacks should not be
counted, for it never professed an incli-
nation to teach them, and in this respect
it's practice tallies exactly with its pro-
fessions. The States chosen are and al
ways have been unquestionably Demo-
cratic or Republican respectively land the

Democracy EpitOmized.

Epitomizing the action of the Demo
cratic party since 1856 on the great pub
lie questions of the day, it appears
1. The tariff. That the party, since
1856, has favored absolute free trade, a
revenue tariff, incidental protection"
and the remission of the question to the
Congressional districts; and, at the
present moment, has named as its can
didate for the Presidency Pennsylva-
MIA protectionist.
2. The currency. In 1868 the party
favored the payment of the bonds in
greenbacks, and in 1876 it denounced
the Resumption act as ga hindrance to
resumption" but now favors "honest
money"
3. Reconstruction. The constitutions
al amendments were declared "reyolu-
tionary and void in 1868; their rigid
enforcement demanded in 1872; accept
ed in form in 1876; and broken in letter
and spirit by the Southern Democrats
from the day they we're adopted till
now.
4. The war was pronounced failure
in 1864 its results partially agreed to
In 186S-and the soldiers and sailors
have been thanked in every Democratic
platform since.
5. The Democratic party has wholly
abandoned the ante-war theory of the
party in regard to public Improvements,
and has adopted the Republican theory,

Renouncing the Democracy.

At rousing Republican meeting at
Lansing, Mich, the Lansing Garfield
and Arthur Guards were organized with
much enthusiasm. Judge William e.
Pinckney, for many years Democrat,
and late q Greenbacker, was present,
signed the constitution and donned the
badges. He was heartily cheered, and
in response said 81 shall vote and
work for the Republican party, because
| think they represent the party of
justice and equity" The nomina-
ton of Hancock was the thinnest
kind of asubterfuge; if elected he would
be controlled and manipulated by South
ern politicians, and would be literally
under their control, on account Of his
lack Of experience in civil and political
life. If he (Pinckney) lived his voice
should be heard many times in the COM
ing campaign, and he should give forth
no uncertain sound. He was Garfield
and Arthur man. At the close of his
speech he was again loudly applauded.
Mr.. Pinckney is forcible and eloquent
speaker, and is heartily welcomed to the
Republican ranks.
Judge P. A. Orion, of the banking
firm of Orion, Otis & Co., at Darling
ton, Wis. and one of the most distin-
guished members of the Wisconsin bar,
has renounced the Democratic party,
with which he has always affiliated, and
declares his intention, in o manly and
spirited letter, to vote and use his infu-
ence to elect the Presidential ticket
nominated by the Republicans at the
Chicago Convention. Judge Orion has
large following in Southern Wisconsin
among the Democrats, and will, I'M
doubtedly, induce many of his old patri-
otto associates to join with him in sup
porting Garfield and Arthur.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-07-23

officers of his department.. He believes it
is the determination of the Democratic
leaders there not to permit the Republi-
cans to organize nor to conduct az active
campaign in any of the States of the
South except Virginia. In the latter
State he says local political issues will
afford the Republicans opportunity to
take part in the campaign, but there is no
use Disgusting the fact that in the other
States the Democrats, by their usual
schemes of intimidation and violence,
propose to have clear field. He
does not expect to be able to ap-
point any Marshals Of elections in those
States, for notice has been served that
any one accepting such an appointment
will do SO at his peril. The Democrats,
therefore, are thus early preparing the
way for o solid South in support of their
nominee, and the law officer of the Gov
eminent admits himself absolutely
powerless to enforce the election laws in
at least ten States, In some of which
there is an admitted Republican major
ity, on account of the combination of
partisan leaders to override the political
rights of citizens who differ with them
in opinion The Government sees no
way to assert its authority in the absence
of active public sentiment In its sup
port, and, therefore, in the coming cleo
ton will be compelled to see the laws
trampled under foot with impunity, and
the mockery of an election enacted ua-
rebuked and unchastised, unless out
ragged public sentiment in the free North
should hurl this party of rebellion and
disobedience of law into oblivion by the
supreme power and majesty Of people
who are above and superior to the domi-
nation and control Of the agencies which
manipulate and shape Southern politics.
