Not Euch OF Any.

There IS one particular element of
the conduct of the human race that
we cannot admire, and we, therefore.
don't want any in ours: that is flat
terry. But, still, we hope we will be
forgiven for expressing our unqual-
flied admiration Of the spirit and
sentiment evinced in an article
which appeared in the Mineral Point
tribune last week.
There was vein of magnanimity
and fairness running through it that

ty district for the purpose Of defeat
ing the just claims of the southern
district.
Now, the southern district has
some claims that ought to be repeat
ed, among which are: that she has
had the state senator so long that
she can't tell when we had one; she
has had the county superintendency,
and the most of the county officers
nearly as loag, and such an over
whelming republican majority that
she could sit 'azily by and elect any
man nominated, and for these rea-
SONS she oua At to continue to have

plans, and 10 the Legislature also,
and we promise, on the word of an

1t will be seen by this showing
that the southern district has not
sought as much repeating" as the
Star accuses it of. 1t proves that
the shoe is on the other foot, and
that if any rep eating has been done,
the northern district are the repeat
ers, for they have been honored with
fourteen out of the twenty-five
years; while this district. has shar,
ed but six years. Twelve of their
fourteen years were represented by
republicans, while we received but
four; orone-third the number ofyears
that the northern district has been
honored with. From this showing
we do not think that we are asking
too much, or more than our rights,
when we state that the coming can
didate for state senator should be
selected from this district.
We have not the record on hand
to prove it, but believe that it can
be proven that the northern district
has had It's full share of county otli-
