The Banner waxed truly eloquent last
week in telling what good soldier John
Messerschmidt had been, and speaks of
him as
"a soldier of rare merit, whose SCARED body
and unhealed wounds call loudly for the sup
port of every man whose bosom can find room
Tor manly heart to beat with a manly i'm
pulse"
Now that IS all right None respect
Mr. Messerschmidt for his soldier record
more than do republicans. When he
was a soldier, he had to look to the re-
publican party for support. The demo-
cratic party went squarely back on him.
They flung insult after insult in his face,
and sneeringly told him in the Chica-
go Platform of 1864 that the war he was
giving his life and strength to prosecute,
was failure. And only as far back as
the winter of 1879, they voted almost
solidly in Congress against the resolution
Of Mr.. Fort, of Illinois, which provided
that Union soldiers should be employed
about Congress in preference to Confede-
rate soldiers. This was defeated by 1853
nays to 1902 yeas. Every negative vote
was cast by democrat. Every republi
can and two democrats stevenson, of
Illinois, and Goodin, of Kansas voted
aye.
More than shat, they have turned out
Of employment in the house Of representa-
tives and in the senate, rs Union soldiers
many Of them sorely wounded, and in
their place have put EIGHTY-EIGHr REBEL
SOLDIERS.
Don't talk Mr. Banner, about Union
soldiers and their patriotism, for with
such record as that it is but the cruel
est kind of mo ckery. Therebel gray, not
Union blue, rules to-day in your demo
cratic Congress, and John Messerschmidt
would find no favor were he to take his
wounds there and ask for employment.
Wait till the solid south, you are SO anx-
ious to help gets full possession Of the
government, and then let him ask
for what purpose he fought so bravely in
his country's defense. He'll then get his
answer.-Jef'erson Co. Union.

We WILL wager two to one that HUM
phrey will not secure any appropriation
for our fair if he is elected.
FIGURES NE YER LIE.

In futile attempt to cover up the fact
that Jared G. Gregory was the Know
Nothing candidate in 1856 for Congress
in the Nineteenth New YnIk district The
Weltburger of last week charged that Mr..
Gregory received the republican vote. As
positive proof against this statement we
herewith append the vote of district on
president and member:
Buchanan 5,702, Fillmore 3,2SS, Free
mont 10,730. Gregory, Know-Nothing
and democratic candidate for Congress,
1881. Morse, republican candidate Tor
congress, 1924. The vote of Buchanan
aud Fillmore combined amount to $40
while Mr. Gregorys vote is only SO less.
Fremonts vote it will be seen is only 6
more than Mr.. Morses. From this it
does not appear that Mr.. Gregory had
much support from the republicans. The
fact is patent that Mr. Gregory ran close
with Buchanan and Fillmore showing
conclusiveiy that he received the full
Know-Nothing vote along with the demo
cratic. The Weltburger cannot explain
away Mr.. Gregory's connection with the
Known Nothing party if it should try from
now till doomsday.

ONE EVENING last week about dozen
members of the Hancock club got to-
gether and passed resolution which
binds each member of the club to vote
for every man on the democratic ticket,
from Hancock down. 1t may be that a
few members of that club can force the
independent democratic voters of this
city to vote like so many machines by
the passage of this resolution, but we
doubt it. Already we hear of men
scratching their names from the rolls,
while many others are indignant at this
attempt to deprive them of the right to
cast a free and untrammelled ballot
These men prefer to decide for themselves
for whom they shall vote instead of hav-
ing the matter decided for them by q
body Of men. This atrocious resolution
will be disregarded by every free and in
dependent voter whether he is a member
OF the club or not. Only the machine
element of the Hancock club will be
bound by it.

ED. REPUBLICAN:-The party styling
himself Republican" who in last week S
issue is trying to besmirch the character
of Mr. Geo. Schott, the peoples candi-
date for treasurer in Dodge county, either
talks about something he knows nothing
about, or else tells deliberate lie. Mr..
Schott, during the past two years, has,
atone and in person, attended to all the
business of his office; he has had no as
sistance whatever, and needed none. He
has tor many years conducted an extern
sive business in agricultural implements,
and is perfectly competent, as he has
proved, to conduct the business of the
county treasurers office. His honesty
and integrity have been tested, and the re-
publicans and honest democrats Of Dodge
county prefer to keep an honest servant
in office, rather than to elect an indi-
vidual of whom they know nothing, and
who was nominated, according to the
statement Of democratic delegates to the
hummer convention, mot on account
Of his popularity (for he has none) but
on account of locality" Next time you
blow your horn for a GUNNER candi-
date, Mr.. Republican, try at least to tell
the truth. w. T. r.

Is THE Central Fair any benefit to
Watertown? Do our citizens care for its
success? If so, which is the most impor-
tant to us as citizens, the success of the
fair or the election of party nominees.
It is we'll known that Bennett and Stone
through their exertions secured an ap-
preparation last winter which aided the
association materially. tits unnecessary
for Us to say that they can do more than
any other two men towards securing an
other appropriation this winter. This is
one of the many strong arguments in
favor Of returning these gentlemen.

REP UBLTCANS DO YOUR DUTY.

As THIS is the last issue Of THE REpUB-
IICAN before the great contest we wish to
impress upon republicans the Importance
Of going to the polls next Tuesday, and
casting their ballots for the man Of their
choice. Do not be satisfied, with casting
your own ballot simply, but see to it that
your neighbors come out also. Every re
publican should organize himself into a
committee OF one to take the responsible
ty Of getting voters Of the same political
faith as himself to the balIot-box. By
this method only can we expect to throw
our full strength against the solid south
and rebel encroachment. By this means
only can we secure to the country for four
years to come a peaceful, prosperous and
progressive administration. Rally, republi-
cans, each and every one you, and give
one day to your country.

TIRE PEOPLES CANDIDATE.

AT the earnest solicitation Of his fellow
citiaans-friends, neighbors, republicans
and democrats-Hon. Jesse Stone has
consented to again become candidate
for member Of assembly in this district
That hIr Stone ought to be returned to
the legislature no unprecedented man will
deny. There are many reasons why he
should and none why he should not.
Mr.. stone has lived among us many years.
He is a large property here, is
member of firm which would be a credit
to any city, and is in every respect repre-
sentative OF the business men of the place
He is closely identified with everything
that concerns the welfare of the city, and
he will work for our interests, not from
sense of duty alone, but because our inter
ests are his interests. ANY measure that
may come up in the legislature relating
to oar city will receive that close atten-
ton which IS characteristic of him in his
private affairs. Last year the district
turned out en- masse almost and sent him
to the legislature There is no reason why
that same feeling should not prevail this
year. We think we speak the sentiment
of every man in the district when we say
that Mr.. Stones labors as member last
winter gave unexceptioned satisfaction
So far as We know not a single vote was
cast by him that did not meet with the
approval of his constituents
Should Mr. Stone be returned to the
assembly this year he will take rank
among the most prominent and infuen-
tial men Of the legislature and will prove
q most valuable member. BY reason Of
his experience as legislator he will be
placed on the important committees,
and our assembly district will WELD
through him as much influence as any
district in the state Being a republi-
can he will also have an influence with
the dominant party in the legislature
which no democrat could hope for
Taken all together this district ought to
return the present member, and should
the city Of WATERFOWL at any time stand
| in need of friends in the legislature Mr..
Stone will be in a position to render us
the most efficient aid While we claim
that the city would be represented in the
legislature by the election of Mr.. Stone
better than by any other man, we do not
wish to be understood as saying that the
towns would not also be well represented
No complaint was made last year from
this source and we think there will be no
cause for any this year, in case of Mr.
Stones election.
Let all turn in and vote for the peo-
pies candidate, and send from the first
district of Jefferson county representa-
tive who will be an honor to the district
and credit to the legislature of Wiscon-
sid

CAN ANY citizen of WATERFOWL give a
good and sufficient reason for voting for
Humphrey as against Stone?

WE TRUST no republican will vote
against Mr.. Lindon, the independent
candidate for sheriff A large number
of democrats in this county are going to
bolt their regular nominees and vote for
Mr. Lindon and the republican ticket
throughout, for no other purpose than to
clean out the ticket which the Birds, of
Jefferson, dictated to the democratic con-
vention; and we think the republicans
ought to cooperate with them in the laud-
able enterprise, by voting for Lindon.
Both candidates are democrats, and re-
publicans should be guided in their
choice between the two, by what will in
sure to the county the best administra-
ton. Every one knows that the regular
democratic nominee was put in nomina-
ton by the old democratic ring which has
controlled this county for years, and is an
instrument in their hands, IF elected
no reforms will be brought about in the
sheriff office, for the reason thathe would
not be allowed to make any if he was so
inclined. IfMr. Lindon is elected he goes
in as an independent, free from party af-
filliations, and free to make any change
which may be necessary. The question
for republicans to consider is, whether
they will vote to retain this old corrupt
ring in power, or vote to bring about a
change in the management of our county
affairs. Every republican must see his
plain duty in the premises.

we have undjsputed testimony that Mr..

WHEELER Z WILSON'S

Sewing Machines
IS NOW REPRESENTED BY

Formerly of the Singer.

The Wheeler & Wilson No. n. Family
Machines, and Manufacturing Machines, can
not be eXcelled in the world. We de-
fy competition. Hear what the Jury Judges Of
the Centennial Exposition says. @ OF all the
sewing machines we tested the Wheeler & Wilson
New Machine was the most successful, falling
in nothing that was given it.-Fred A. Pdget.
Another report from the Judges Of the Ameri
can Institute ''We do not hesitate to declare
it the best sewing apparatus in the world"
At the Paris Exposition in 1878 it was awarded
the only grand prize given to sewing machines.
Easy TO manage, easy to learn, the lighteSt run
ming, the most durable and does the most per-
feet work. 1t has high arm, self-adj usting
needle. 1t can be set III the dark well as in
the light. After the success of this company at
Paris in 1867, Vienna in 1873, and Philadelphia
in 1876, their recent overwhelming and decisive
victory at Paris is not surprising but none the
less gratifying on that account At this expOsi-
ton extraordinary measures were taken to Sc
cure Judges of the highest qualification and IN
questionable partiality to subject all machines
and processes to the most thorough and eXhaus-
tive tests, and to adopt every safeguard against
the making of awards upon any other grounds
than the real merits of the exhibits. The fact
that out of some so exhibits from all the world,
Wheeler & Wilson received the only grand prize,
as is authoratively shown by the cert ficate Of
commissioner Gen. McCormfc, would seem to
place the superiority of their machines above
al others beyond question.

Mr.. GREGORYS HNOWNOTH-
INGISM

woweeks ago The REPUBLICAN, charged
Hon J. c. Gregory, democratic candidate
for congress in this district against Hon.
L. B. Caswell, republican nominee, with
being in 1856, the candidate Of the
Know-Nothing party for the Office Of con-
gresham in the nineteenth district of
New York, comprising the counties Of
Delaware and Otsego. We are now pre-
pared to bring forward the most positive
proof for our charge, which we now place
before our readers so that they may judge
for themselves as to the truth or falsity
of the statement made in connection
with Mr.. Gregory's adhesion to
Know-Nothing principles. We append
the following articles copied verbatim
from The Republican and Democrat,
published at Cooperstown, Otsego coun-
ty, New York, and dated October 18th,
1856, which unequivocally go to substan-
tiate the charge laid at Mr.. Gregorys
door:
/. POLITICAL PEDIGREE.
Jared C. Gregory the congressional nominee
Of the Slaveextensionists, was first nominated at
Emmons tavern in Oneonta, on the 18th of Sep
TENDER by congressional convention of South
American Know Nothings; and the official pro-
ceedings, certifying to the nomination, were
published in the Cherry Valley Gazette on the Sth
inst, signed by Senator A. NJ. Smith, Chairman,
and n. C. AIoak and NJ. S. Cook. Secretaries.
On the It'll of October inst, the Buchanier
County Convention for this county met, and, af-
ter bitterly denouncing KnoW-nothingism, adopt
ed J. C. Gregory, the KnoW-nothing nominee, as
their candidate, after he had openly and public
ly pledged himself as Buchanan man and that
he would support Mr.. Buchanan.
On the 18th inst. the South American Know
Nothings held their county convention, and Mr..
Senator A. NJ. Smith read letter from Mr.,
Gregory, accepting the Kn0w- Nothing nomination
at Emmon's tavern on the 18th ult. and pledged
him as q good and truc Fllnl0rite Aneerican The
fact was then stated that Mr.. Gregory had pledg-
cd himself, publicly, in the Buchanan conyen-
tion to be Buchanan man. and that he would
support him, whereupon Mr.. Thompson, of Una
dilla the confidential friend and townsman of
Mr.. Gregory, stood up and publicly pledged ham as
q member Of the order IN long and good stdndtng
and also stated that Mr.. Gregory only pledged
himself to the BUCCANEERS to support Mr..
Buchanan zap to the day Of election, and not that
he would support him son the day Of clecttonP'
And then Mr. Gregory was commended as a true
FFlqnorite american Of long and good standing.
Such is the political pedigree of the man who
is a candidate to represent the freemen of Otsego
