THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The Democrats of Wisconsin have
displayed unusual sagacity in the
makeup of their State ticket, which is
as follows:
For Governor, n. d. Fratt, of Ra-
cine Lieutenant Governor, W. A.
Anderson, of La Crosse /; Secretary of
State, Michael Johnson, of Dane ;
State Treasurer, VIM. II. Jacobs, of
Milwaukee Attorney General, NJ. j.
Briggs, of Iowa State Superintendent,
Robert Graham, of Winnebago; Rail-
road Commissioner, Ambrose Hoff-
man, of Chippewa: Insurance Com
missioner, Louis Kemper, of Manito-
woe.
Mr.. Fratt has served in the State
Senate, is now President of the State
Agricultural Society (; position he
has held for number of years and TO
which he was again chosen at the re-
cent meeting of that Society. Amber
SOu is a. pHgoACIdIl anu Hpo AVA AiSA y
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee. johnson is a
Norwegian farmer, who has served
four terms in the Assembly. Jocobs
is Milwaukee capitalist. Briggs is a
lawyer and was the standard-bearer
during the war of the famous Irish
Brigade. Graham is the nominee OF
the Republican party and was endors-
ed as a manifestation of desire to d.
vorce the office of State Superintend-
ent from politics. Hoffman has been
reported as a farmer, but we think
this report must be an erroneous one,
as we believe he is one of the publish
ers of the Chippewa Falls Times.
Kemper is a German, and General
Agent of the Mechanics Mutual In
surance Company of Milwaukee. The
geographical distribution gives one
candidate to each Congressional Dis
trict.

THE TEMPERANCE TICKET.

The temperance people of Wisconsin,
having in vain, repeatedly petitioned
the State legislature to submit a pro-
posed amendment to the constitution,
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors to vote of the
people, and their appeal to both the
Republican and Democratic parties in
convention assembled, for the adop-
ton of a resolution re-af1irming the
constitutional right of petition having
been ignored, in order to afford to the
voters of Wisconsin who are friends
of social order as viewed from a tenn
perance standpoint, an opportunity to
vote as they think and talk, and as a
means of indicating their strength and
placing themselves in position to de-
mand tho respectful consideration of
future legislatures, have placed in
nomination the following State ticket:
For Governor, Z. ID. Kanouse, of
Outagamie Lieutenant Governor,
Harvey S. Clapp, of st. Croix; Secre-
tary of State, Edmund Bartlett, of
Green State Treasurer, John Sutton,
of Columbia Attorney General, E. G..
Comstock, of Milwaukee; State Super
intendent, Robert Graham, of Winnie
bago Railroad Commissioner, John
Nader, of Dane Insurance Commits
sioner, Thomas Bracken, of La Fay
cite.
The platform charges both the great
political parties with having deliber-
ately chosen to fellowship with the
liquor traffic and it's allies, rather than
these who are DESTROYS of freeing the
State from the thralldom Of alcohol.
The ticket is said to be composed of
gentlemen whose private characters
are unexceptionable, though with one
exception they are but little known out
side of their respective localities. That
exception is Mr.. Knouse, the nominee
for Governor who is widely known
throughout the State as possessing ex-
cellent ability as well as the entire
confidence of the temperance people of
Wisconsin.

BALBOA.

Together with this wealth, which
served to soothe and encourage his
followers, he received accounts that
confirmed his most sangufne hopes for
the future. All the people on the
coast of the South Sea concurred in
informing him that there was mighty
kingdom situated at a great distance
toward the southeast, whose inhabi-
tants had tame animals to carry their
burdens.
In order to give the Spaniards an
idea of these, they drew upon the sand
the figure of the llama, afterwards
found in Peru, which the Peruvians
had taught to perform such service as
they desired. AS the llama in its form
nearly resembles camel, beast of
burden deemed peculiar to Asia, this
circumstance, IN connection with the
discovery of pearls, another noted pro-
duction of that country, tended to
confirm the Spaniards in their mis-
taken theory with respect of the vi
cinity of the New World to the East
Indies.
But though Balboawas very anxious
to visit this unknown country, his
prudence restrained him from attempt
ing it with a handful of men weakened
Ixrl nd hxy fnf
Balboa, in his letter to the king, OBJ
serves that of the hundred and ninety
men whom he took with him, there
were never above eighty fit for SER
vice at one time, so much did they
suffer from hunger, fatigue and sick
ness.
Iii order to acquire better knowl-
edge of the isthmus, Balboa returned
by another route, which he found no
less difficult, to Santa Maria, (1514,
from which he had been gone four
months, with greater glory and more
treasure than any Spaniard had Sc
cured in any previous expedition in
the New World. None of his officers
distinguished himself more in this
campaign than Francisco Pizarro, who
afterwards became SO closely con-
nected with the history of this country.
Balboa's first care was to send in
formation of his discovery to Spain,
and to demand of Ferdinand a thou
sand men in order to sttempt the con-
quest of that opulent country. The
king, being jealous of the wealth that
was flowing into Portugal from its
settlements and conquests in the New
World, hoped now to come in for a
share of its lucrative commerce, and
in his eagerness to obtain it, was will
ing to make an effort beyond what
was required. But notwithstanding
Balboa srecent services, which mark
ed him as the most proper person to
finish the great undertaking which he
had begun, Ferdinand was so ungen
erous as to overlook them, and to APP
point Pedrarias Davila governor of
Darion. He gave him the command
of fifteen stout vessels and twelve
hundred soldiers. These were fitted
out at the public expense, with a lib
erality which had never before been
displayed by the king; and such was
the ardor of the Spanish gentlemen to
follow leader who was to conduct
them to a country where, as fame re-
ported it, they had only to throw their
nets into the sea and draw out gold,
that fifteen hundred embarked on
board the fleet, and if they had not
been restrained, much greater num-
Der would have engaged in the service.

0SE of the planks in the platform of
the independent Temperance Party of
Wisconsin, touches upon the rights
and duties of the people, as follows !:
" 1t is the peoples right-it is the peo-
pies duty, to devise measures for the
overthrow of q political despotism
that virtually denies the right of petit
ton and insults the intelligence of
more than $4,000 citizens of Wlscon-
sin-a despotism entrenched as it is,
behind the bulwark of partisan poll
tics and appealing to the cupidity Of
the weakest and basest elements of So
Getty. Whatever may be booked as
the Republican creed. the JOURNAL is
of the opinion that whenever SO respec-
table number of people petition for
the submission of a proposed constitu-
tional amendment to q popular vote,
as have asked for the submission of a
prohibitory amendment, their appeal
should be granted. We give express
sion to this sentiment, not as Journal
lists, advocating the measure of pro-
hibition, but as those who believe
that the minority possesses rights
which the majority are morally bound
to respect.

William Rtafinn.

This station lies on the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis 4 Omaha Railroad, in st. Croix
county, midway between Hersey and Knapp
Stations, in the midst of forests Of heavy
timber, surrounded by rapidly improving
farm country Here are situated large lum-
Der and merchandise interests, conducted by
Wilson, Van Vliet & Co., who, less than nine
wears ago, commenced business in the midst
of an unbroken forest. The village now con-
tains five hundred populatio n. fine graded
school, churches, hotel, and finished and
costly dwellings. The railroad company has
lust completed spacious and neat depot.
The husbandman has already gathered q
rich harvest, for which there is good de-
mand in the worlds markets, commanding
an advancing price.
The sun casts it's golden hues through the
slowly declining summer forest robes. No
frost has yet bIighted the beautiful flowers,
at this date, the Goth of September; but ma
ture shows the annual decay of her rich gar
niture of forest and field.
"The hidden and mysterious vitality OF
nature declines slowly from the high noon
of its strength and fervor, and passes away,
with the sweet and solemn dirge Of signing
winds and the melancholy murmur Of the
falling leaves, TO the cold grave OF winter. !"
Soon, far down the valleys, whose ancient
rocks project from lofty bluffs, on the hills,
around whose SUBMITS the storms of untold
centuries have swept, the leaves and howers
of mid summer will have fallen, silently to
the earth, "to mingle forever with the ele-
ments."
Thus, the mutations of earth teach us that
man, too, must pass away. "Man cometh
forth as a flower, and is cut down" Whole
nations have passed away, and their millions
OF inhabitants, down through the ages, lie
forgotten with the dead, in the years beyond
the flood. But the voice of God, at earth's
last great physical conflict, will raise the
slumbering dead to life OF immortality, and
to the good will give home among the sane
titled. In that day the solid earth and old
ocean, whose waves break upon every shore,
shall pass away with great noise. and the
heavens be rolled together as parchment
scroll n.
