the discharge of tae dates of this
position he was not less successfnl
than in his military career.
In 1870 he was elected a represen.
tative in congress IN what is now
the Seventh District, and twice re-
elected, making a continuous service
n that body Of six years, from
March 4th, 1871, to March 4th, 1877
! In this position he took rank as an
industrious, faithful, intelligent and
sagacious legislator; and Wisconsin
has had very few, if any, represen-
tatives in the lower house of con
gress who excelled him in effici-
ency and influence. AS an example
of the thought which he gave to his
duties as congressman, he made a
speech on the It'll of August, 1876,
on the tariff, which contained table
of the range of prices of leading
commodities for the preceding fifty
years, which was considered of such
value that it was subsequently pub
Used in Fawcett's Handbook of
Finance.
In all his public service, Gen.
Rusk's discharge of his duties has
been characterized by wisdom, mod
Grafton and fidelity; ard, should he
be placed III the gubernatorial chair,
AS he undoubtedly will be if the
Republicans do their duty, the state
will have a chief executive in whom
it can implicitly trust for an honest,
faithful and successful administra-
ton of the affairs of the common
wealth. He is a man of the people,
one who has made his way, by in
dustry and fidelity, from the hum
bier walks of life to positions of
honor and trust, and is, therefore,
familiar with the wants and sent-
ments of the people, while his expe-
rience in public affairs equips him
for the duties of the position for
which he is now named. This is
not mere perfunctory Endorsement
of candidate; it is simply state
ment Of facts--a proper recognition
of personal worth and faithful pub
lie service

THE New York Times, one of the

THE New York Times, one of the
leading papers in all America, com
menting or elections and their re-
suits, says:
'The temperance people will
neither succeed nor gain anything
for their cause by attempting to
administer punishment to the Re.
publicans for ignoring their de-
mands. From this two lessons are
to be derived: One is that politi-
cal party loses nothing by adhering
firmly to its principles and refusing
to be driven from its policy by the
threats of petty faction that as
sumes to hold a balance of power
and the other is that the temperance
cause is not likely to gain anything
by attempts to defeat the party
most friendly to it, and to help its
worst enemies into power. The
Prohibitionists have never yet accom-
plished anything by their separate
organization, and the time has gone
by when they can hope to control
either political party in a great
state without bringing it to disaster"
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1881-10-27

RECKLESS STATEMENT. - When
preachers talk politics they should
be as careful to speak the truth as
they are when expounding gospel.
The Rev. j. b. Bachman, pastor OF
the M. +. Church at Montfort, who
is conspicuously active in behalf of
the Kanouse ticket, seems, however,
to "draw on his imagination for
facts" as freely as the most accom-
plished politicians. In published
letter he says: al hundred M0uS-
and petitioners sent their names to
the legislature of this state last win
ter, asking the privilege Of voting
for prohibition amendment. No
authoritative statement of the num-
Der of names on the petitions has
been published, but estimates gen
orally fix it not half of 100000.
Three-fourths of the whole are ad,
mitted to be n-voters.
In the same letter the same rev.
erend gentleman says Gust after
the election Of United States SEN
ator to show that they were not
prohibitionists, large part of the
republican members became insane
ly drunk and spent night in de-
hatchery, until every decent repub-
lican in the state hid his face in
very shame"
Many "decent republicans" who
have personal knowledge of the
banquets succeeding the election OF
United States Senators last winter
and previously, deny the charge OF
'insane drunkenness and ode
bauchery." Before proceeding far
in the field of politics the reverend
gentleman will learn that it will not
do to accept the assertions of oppo
nents and disappointed contestants
for facts. On that theory the la
mented Garfield would have been
convicted as petty thief, lyinl
hypocrite and shallow pated dem
agogue.

party ia control of the public af-
fairs of the state none will deny.
Yet, if the movement had in It
promise Of advantage Of the cause
of temperance, the TRIBUNE could
not and would not condemn ir.
though it bore certain defeat to the
political party to which We give al
legiance. In such case the move
inent would be justified, as even a
doubtful means to give force AID
effect to principle. But being as
il seems to us calculated, to dam
age rather than strengthen the cause
Of temperance to defer rather than
to advance the time when the pro-
hibition resolution may he submit
ted and employed as a means of
gratifying the unlovely passion Of
revenge upon the republican party,
it is indefensible.
.'Trne Badger" has made no at
tempt to furnish the information
asked for by US, nor has any other
person. Again we ask:
Is there the lie asst ground to hope
that Kanouse will he elected
Is the independent temperance
movement expected to have any inn
mediate effect other than to defeat
the republican ticket?
Is it probable that the election of
the democratic ticket will advance
the Cause of temperance
To each of these questions every
no nest man must answer NO!
Then the republican who votes
the Kanouse ticket becomes an "as-
sistant democrat and if he does so
with any view to advancing the
cause of temperance or the time
when the question Of prohibition
may be submitted, will repent when
perhaps too late.

SPECIFICATIONS NEEDED Some
scribbler, signing himself "Repubi-
can" 10 last weeks Democrat, makes
the republican candidate for Sena-
tor, W. G. METERS, out to be a
dreadfully bad man, 1t is minated
that he is bad morally, is not a
friend OF working men, etc. We
have known Mr.. Msfiert many years
and never before heard it intimated
that his moral character was other
than good He does not use intoXi-
eating liquors; pays his just debts,
never defrauded any body, nor killed
any body (unless as soldier in
battle.) He is and always has been
working man himself, so we sup
posed he had no antipathy to labor
ers. If Republican" will give spe-
cific information wherein Mr.. Mef-
fert is immoral or dishonest, or in
what manner he manifests unfriend
liness to working men, the TR.lUNE
will thank him, and the people will
have more regard for his statements,
especially If he will sustain them
by furnishing his name,
