WHEELER & WILSON'S

is NOW REPRESENTED BY
a. K. M. PICKERT,
Formerly of the Singer.

New Machine was the most successful, failing
in nothing that was given it.-Fred A. Paget
Another report from the Judges of the Ameri-
can Institute 1--WE do not hesitate to declare
it the best sewing apparatus in the world"
At the Paris Exposition in 1873 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 a high arm, self-adjusting
needle. 1t can be set in the dark as well as in
the light. After the success of this company at
Paris in 1867, Vienna in 1875 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 EXPOSE
ton extraordinary measures were taken to Sc
cure Judges of the highest qualification and I'M
questionable partially, 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. McCOrmlc, would seem to
place the superiority of their machines above
all others beyond question.

WHY GARFIELD WILL BE ELEC
ED.
u. S. GRANT.

Two powerful reasons are operating in
this canvass, says The Philadelphia
Press against the democratic party. The
first is an earnest feeling among loyal
men against handing the government
over to the practical control OF the solid
south, with lis unchanged spirit and pur-
poses. The second is the deep, pervad-
ing dread of "change" which will over
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-09-08

In THE south, according to Wade
Hampton, the democrats are voting for
the same principles that Robert E. Lee
and Stonewall Jackson fought for. In
the north, the republicans are voting for
the principles that Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield fought for. In such contest,
where ought every legal voter to be
found?
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-09-08

The southern democratic leaders have
said more in the present campaign than
the northern democratic papers can apollo
gize for and explain away from now I'M
til the second of November.

ATTORNEY GENERAL Devens asked a
question which is we'll worth considering.
In brief. it is this: IF it is so difficult now
to punish crime and fraud against the
United States in the southern states, what
would be the condition of the south if
the national government should pass un-
der the control of eX-rebels?
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-09-08
Why THE SOUTH IS SOLID FOR
HANCOCK.

Consider what Lee and Jackson would do were
they alive. THESE ARE THE SAME PRINCI-
PILES FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT FORFOUR
YEARS. Remember the men who poured forth
their life blood Oh Virginia's soil, and do not
abandon them now. Remember that upon your
vote depends the success of the democratic tick

1t IS not true as stated by The Jeffer-
son Banner, that Wade Hampton wrote a
letter to Stilson Hutchins repudiating the
remarks attributed to him, at Staunton,
Va. On the contrary, Mr.. Hampton
says that the letter published by Hut
chins as coming from him, champion,
was forgery. The Banner seems to be
incapable of telling the truth.

LEVI S. HART, Notary Public and ex-officio
Justice of the Peace; Chatham County,
Georgia.
Recorded July 20, 1874.
If more proof is needed that the south
ern idea is that in due time these claims
will be recognized by the government, it
is found in the following provisions of the
constitution Of Maryland adopted in
1867:
SEC. 81. The General Assembly shall pass no
law providing for payment by this state for slaves
emancipated from servitude in this state, but
they shall adopt such measures as they may
deem eXpedient to obtain from the United States
compensation for such slaves, and to receive and
distribute the same equitably to the persons en-
titled.
SEC 49, The General Assembly shall have
power to receive from the United States any grant
or donation ofland, money or securities for any
purpose designated by the United States, and
shall administer or distribute the same accord
ing to the conditions of sad grant.
In the face and eyes of these facts, no
one, unless he be wilfully blind, can fail
to see the danger that turks in the cleo
ton of Hancock and a democratic con-
gress.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-09-08
REBEL VAR CLAIMS.

Democratic papers are quoting an ex-
tract from one of the constitutional
amendments cutting off the payment of
certain war claims on account of the re-
bellion, as an answer to the assertion
made by republicans that such claims will
be presented, and their payment demand
ed, by the late rebels, in ease of Han
cocks election. These papers say that
such thing cannot be, because the law
forbids it. Bat how long since these
same papers maintained that this parti-
cular amendment, and others Of similar
import were unconstitutional, re-
evolutionary and void?" This was the
exact declaration of the democratic ma
tional platform in 1868, which Gen. Han
cock endorsed in a letter pledging his
support to the candidate If ''unconsti-
tutional, revolutionary and void in 1868,
they are the same to-day, and would be
so declared by the U. S. Supreme Court
when recognized as contemplated by
the bill now pending in congress provid-
ing for an increase of the judges to 81.
OF course, with Hancock in the presiden-
tial chair, none but democrats would be
appointed, and the threat of Congressman
Blackburn, who said, eve do not intend
to stop until we have stricken the last vest
ige of your war measures from the statute
book would be at once carried into eff
feet.
But if what is said by these democratic
papers be true what is the object Of filing
such claims as the following, which is a
sample of what is being done all through
the south? This is copied from the off
cial records of Chatham county, Geor-
gia:

THE STRUGGLE.

Now that the Indiana and Ohio
elections are over, the struggle will
be transferred to New York and New
Jersey, where the greatest efforts will
be put forth to strengthen Democratic
unity on the one side and destroy it
on the other.
The result in Indiana was a great
surprise. The Democratic rate of
increase, although not as great as the
Republican. was yet as large as could
have been expected, and establishes
beyond a peradventure that had the
people of Indiana been left to them
selves they would have selected Dem
ocratic officials. The Republicans
gained all they won there, which at
most is bare escape from disastrous
defeat, by corrupt bargainings, whole
sale bribery, and base and groundless
appeals to fears and prejudices, and
by resort to Federal machinery.
And vet with all these, and desertion
of candidates on the part of the Fiat
lists, they have not attained security,
but are liable to have administered TO
them in November such a rebuke as
has been rarely witnessed.
At the presidential election there
will be no excuse for bringing in su-
pervisors and marshals. Repeaters
will be wanted at their homes, and
the indictments that have been found
against them will keep. them there.
State issues considered of paramount
Importance by some to national ques-
tons will be eliminated, and there
will be no unpopular state democratic
candidates to lessen the strength Of
Hancock and English.
1t were well, indeed, if the injury
done to the ballot and free elections
could be as readily overcome as the
temporary defeat sustained by the
democracy in Indiana. These, un-
fortunately, are as permanent as they
are incalculable. In estimating their
full and final effect upon national
institutions, the country has no pre-
codonta and no exporsanco anfiofontlv
