There Is a fair probability that the Grant
County HERALD will have an opportunity TO
prove the truth of its allegations concerning
the manner IN which local ceucuses
were conducted in Grant county. II has al
legged that certain well known citizens used
money TO carry the caucus in Potosi. If the
editor will look al section 4i19 of the revised
statutes he will learn that he has accused the
gentleman he names with committing a mis-
dsmeanor. A suit or suits for libel will
probably be the result--P. ia Chen Union,
That IIazelton crowd would have
MS think them moro terrible than an
army with banners. Is Frank
Campbell so nice as sill this? Is his
reputation so delicate that it wants
such shield ? If he doesn't want
to be blowed he should stay in out
al the wind. SO should the other
fellows. We have not locked at
section 4479 since seeing this threat
gentlemen, but we did before aud
we liked the law very much. We
fear some Of you are squirming be
cause of it.

Several Lies Mailed.


The HERALD's venomous darts are now
being hurled at county treasurer L. P. Les
Ter, who has seen fit 10 publish the delinquent
list of taxes in two papers instead OF
giving it the disadvantage of APP
pearing in the HERALD. No one will blame
Mr.. Lester for the course he has pursued.
for the reason that the hist gets the benefit Of
$500 circulation as now published, while il
would only get circulation of less than
100 if published in the HERALD.
The above is found in last weeks
Dial. As it is the say of profess
sional liar it is, prima facie, lie.
The following shows the facts:
Lancaster, Wis, September Q, 1880.
We, the undersigned, have been employed
as compositors in the Office of the Grant
County HERALD during the whole of the
past year, and to this date. We. on oath, say
that the regular weekly issues of the Grant
County HERALD have not been less than
seventy-five quires 1880 copies) since near
the beginning of the present year 1880: that
toe issues have been steadily increasing and
some weeks have not been less than eighty
quires (1920 copies) the edition at the
present time being still larger than this lat :
ter number. GEORGE FRITz, Foreman.
WALTER Pollock.
IRA SYKES.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 9th
day of September, 1880.
DAVID ScHRErNER,
Justice of the Peace.
The same facts can be proven by
other employees, not now here, and
by reference TO the "American News.
paper Directory" issued last month,
the most complete and best author
ity In existence, we find the circula-
ton of the HERALD given at 1000 and
that of the Dial at 500. If the DiapS
lie about its own circulation COM
bined with that of the Witness, is
proportional in size to its lie about
the HERALD's circulation then their
combined circulation is just about
1000. As the Dial'S circulation is
largely in the corners of Crawford
and Richland counties and the IVit.
ness in Lafayette and Iowa counties,
among people who have no interest
in legal publications in this county,
and as, outside of their own villages
In this county, the maj ority of those
who take one of those papers takes
also the other it follows, that the
HERALD's circulation among persons
interested in legal publications is two
or perhaps four times as great as the
combined circulation of Witness and
Dial Yes, "County officers should
take advantage of newspaper adver.

lnteer soldiers. He makes it worse

unteer soldiers. He makes it worse
than Mr.. Langridge did. Here is
enough to convince any reasonable
mind that there was no disposition
or inclination to exaggerate General
Hancock's crime against the soldiers.
As to t. S. West, two of the parties
named show his word to be of no
value and that he was not with the
regiment at that time--August / 9th.
OF the last fact Mr.. Langridge has
the best proof possible. His diary,
from which he cited facts in the in.
terview published August 5th, con-
tains the following under date OF
August 9th, 1862:
Recruiting officers, Capt. Catlin and Adult.
ant West, and recruiting party, left for Wis
consin this morning-all in fine spirits. The
party consisted of one enlisted man from each
company. The weather extremely hot, &c.
We copy this directly from the
book itself, where it was written by
Mr.. Langridge on the day named. 1t
is small book showing all the indi.
cations of ago and use that a critic
would look for and contains at its
beginning a number of memoranda
made before the war. He carried il
with him through the war. Mr..
Langridge says West was "never
with our regiment or in the service
with our brigade after August 9th"
West therefore placed himself in the
attitude of protesting to have knowl-
edge he did not have. and of making
assertions about matters he knew
nothing of. The proof that Gen.
Hancock forbade the soldiers to get
water while on twenty mile march
on hot day in August, and made
them throw it away when they did
get it, and at the end of the march
made them run on the double.quick
for one hour because they asked for
water, is undeniable.

A FAIR survey of the pending pol
itical contest will show that the
Democrats are fighting at great odds.
They have clean candidate-ope
for whom the great north has none
but the kindliest feelings of gratitude
and respect. In the candids.ure of
this Union soldier they present one
idea which the BODY of the people
approve, viz: the reunion of the sec.
tions, the joining of the North and
South in the closest relationship of
amity. Apart from this, the Demo-
cratic party ia fraud. It's mana
gers steadfastly refuse to give the
country any sufficient assurance that
Gen. Hancock's candidature means
new departure-an abandonment
of the Jefferson heresy of States
rights, an acquiescence in the results
of the war, or an awakening in the
South of the spirit of loyalty to the
General Government. Per contra,
Mr. Barnum and his fellow-managers
devote their MASSIVE lungs to yell
Ing for "a change" when, from eth.
er a financial or social stand point,
the public sees no great need of o
change; and Wade Hampton, as a
representative Democrat of the
South, assures the people of Virgin
ia that the election of Hancock
means victory for the principles
for which Lee and Jackson fought.
From all which we are forced to
conclude that Haneock's defeat is
threatened by the attitude of his
managers, rather than by any act of
his own. Chicago Ne,cs.
