Tuesdays Farce.
Righteous Republicans Routed |
Victorious Democracy.

IT was rather black, chilly day
in the first part Of April, 1880, when
the voters of Mineral Point were
summond to the polls. The Repub-
Leans, however, must have mistook
the cali, and slung their fish poles
upon their shoulders and started
out for the rambling waters Of the
Pecatonica and other streams to
cast their ballot for the funny tribe.
AT evening tide when the bell tolled
for the cessation of labor, at the
poles, the sports returned only to
realize their grievous mistake, and
mourn the result of the day--no
fish; nothing but an Alderman and
constable rescued from the wreck.
Thus our city is again at the mercy
Of the Democracy. We prayed in
our little sanctum till the knees of
our pants wore thread bear, thai the
bears and bulls OF the daring de-
mons be ousted, and if answered in
the affirmative, would plead our
case before the council we coveted
for new outfit. We can sympathize
with defeated candidates, but assure
them that their defeat is not the
city's gain.
The figures which tell The tale
so reluctantly given, correspond
with what follows:

est to buy of him.

Bur few towns in this or any other

!
DeGr Tribune At this writing
local politics is the all absorbing
topic Of conversation in our city.
To-day is being held our town
election, There are butItwo tickets
N the tield-to wit: Republican
Town Ticket and "lndependent
Peoples Ticket" The first ticket is
what it purports to be- Republican.
The second ticket is Republico- dem
ocratic, and hence coutains the
names OF some excellent men, por-
ton Of whom will undoubtedly be
elected, notwithstanding tho fac,
that like old dog "Tray," they are
found in poor company.
Yesterday was circulated an elec.
tioneering document in the inter
ests OF the Peoples ticket, entitled
the "Independent," in which it is
inslnuaied that the Board of Super.
visors failed "to publish their re-
port of receipts and expenditures
before election because there is
something they visa to cover up >"
and it also contains a statement of
the law expenses for the past four
years, which is withcnt doubt an in.
correct statement To-day is issued
and circulated document with the
caption, "To the voters Of Platte
ville," a retutation of the charges
made in yesterdays "circular." This
document appears over the signature
OF u. NJ. Guernsey, who improves
tho opportunity OF arraigning A. w.
Bell, Esq, before the bar of public
opinion, and charging him with
saddling on the town legal expenses
to the amount of sl,3S7.ll; where.
upon A. w. Bell, Esq. sends broad
east through the city document
headed "The Bantam heard from
again, II copy tho heading YER.
batim-in which he applies to his
accuser the dignilied titles "Puppy,"
"Whiifett," Whipper Snapper and
Bantam, and attempts a defense a.
gainst the charge made by "such
little minds
This election is among the most
bitter and personal ever held in
Platteville.
One week from to-day will be held
our city election, which will be hard
ly less exciting than the one held
to-day. The Issue will be license or
no license. The results of this elec-
tion will be announced in future
communication.
Let me state here by way Of in
formation, that although we have
secured City Charter, we are not
q distinctive municipality. The
Offices TO be filled under this char
ter are such as were filed under the
village charter, tho name "May yor"
being substituted for "President OF
the Board" and "Aldernen" for
Trustees" This accounts for the
interest the city takes in the town
election.
1t is expected that DR.. Henry A.
Reynolds, Of Lansing, Mich. the
noted Temperance worker, and or
ganizer Of the "Red Ribbon Club"
in various parts OF the Union, will
be IN Platteville on Friday next to
spend few days laboring in the
interests Of temperance.

The special balloting on the Gene
terry question stirred up such tell-
ing among the citizens as was not
known to exist. 1t was the topmost
topic the whole day. Groups OF
voters discussing savagely on the
subject adorned every Dook and
corner of High Street. So high did
the fever of excitement run that a
blow or two were put in here and
there to emphasize argument. The
result of the vote showed that an
Overwhelming majority OF the citi-
zens are in favor of protecting the
Did cemetery and have it kept open
for those who wish to bury there.
That we should properly protect the
graves of relatives, friends and lead
ing citizens OF days gone by seems
to us a most solemn duty. Yet we
believe and are satisfied that ma
jority of the people concede the new
cemetery far more suitable place
of interment, and its only question
of time as to when the old )ne will
be abandoned for burial purposes.

We have been unable to learn any
thing definite of late concerning the
wheat crop, as there is such variety
of opinion. From reports there will
be an average crop in some localities
while in others it will be the reverse
1t is quite certain, though, that
the rains OF the past week will pro-
duce good effect on the crop.
