TIE DUTY OF WISCONSIN,.
1t Is not tic special function OF rltE thin.
usE to cxplui.. to 50 fa1tiful II clnss of 1nu,,
as tho Wisconsin Republicans hive always
! shown themselves to bo under ail ctrcunl.
stahces Just w1lnt their duty Is III Il certain
emergency; but We Inl,s. be excused for urg-
iilg them to renewed nctlvlty this fall for tho
benefit OF the Whole country.
The gruat Importance Of having n KcpuJ.
llcan minority III tho popular branch of tiio
next Congress will not be disputed; It call
not be oycrestininletl, alll the reasons for
wishing to have 1t readily present themselves
to every Intelligent person without rccnp!tu-
lalon. Thu Republicans expect, by tic grace
OF God md the aitl Of tho American peo.
pic, to place Ger. Garfield In tho
Wll!to House OH tho Atll Of next
March, and, as tho Democratic majority In
the Senate Of the United States cannot be
wholly changed, 1t Is Of vital consequence to
the country, and to tho success OF the next
Republican administration, that tho House
OF Representatives and tho Executive should
DO In nccor1. Tho methods adopted by tho
Demo-confoderate minority In Congress 10
hamper ant1o'nbarrass Mr.. 1Iayes all through
his Administration nro we'll remembered, and
their baneful effects l,asc not yet been OBJ
liberated. Tho Republican victory that is
sure to como in Noyomber with tho election
OF Garfield VIII be sllorn Of half Its practical
valne 1t 1t Is not supplemented by such
gain Of members In tho next Congress us will
g1yo tlD Republicans tthocontrol OF tho lIouso
OF Representatives. :xAnd cvcrywl,cre in tho
North tic signs Afe Most cheering that tllIs
will be the result, 'a,.d 1t Is confidently ex-
pccted that the, Republicans Of Wisconsin
Will contribute at lcnst two 1iew members rs
their sharo III the glorious work.
It ls utmost curtain that they will bo abo to
carry tho Fourth md Sixth Districts now
represented by Deuster and Bouck, a,ltl
1t Ii not impossible but TINT the Fifth
(Bragg's) may bo redeemed also. Tho re-
turns OF tho last two elections afford co.l-
siderable cncoaragomontto tho Republicans.
lu 1873 tho vote In tho Fourth District stood
as follows: Douster, Democrat, 1l,1s7:
Frlsby. Republican, 1l.osa; judd, Green
hacker, 1851. III tho Sixth District tho vote
stood: Douck, Democrat, 14,:iD; Jonus, l,e-
p"os'~*''t AAta7ot o'CStof A4ctl4oatEhcEy O.14S.
Thus Dcusters majority over Frtsby WIS
only la5, and houek's over Jones was 2,cO1.
but Inst year the voto for Governor
In tho Fourth (Dcuster's) District
stood: Smith, Republican, 1o.47s; Jcn.
klns, Democrat, 1o,0e5; May Green
backcr, 3o5. Iii Donck's {Slxth)
District tho vote wns: Smith, 12,iS7; Jcl,-
kins, tl,bi3; May, Grcenbackcr, 2,d.o. Thus
1t will DO seen that tito Republican candidate
for Governor last fall carried Deuster's dis
tslot BY 3s, majority, while alay's vote foil OIL
tn only BOZ. In Douck's district Smith Ind
Oh votes over jenkins, a,ul tho Grrenback

2,0N for May tho yoar following. With tho
Gruunbnck candidates In tic tiejl tl1p Iscpub.

and 1t Is oasiy shown that tho .lat vote II,
Wisconsin calao utmost entirely from tic Re-
publican party, and, now that the dcluslon IL
