Reception TO the khcdivc and
Egyptian Ministers.

CAIRO Sept. 25.-The Khedive and the
Egyptian ministers were received at the de-
pot this afternoon by the Duke of Con-
naught and Gen. Wolscley. A detachment
of grenadiers was drawn upl on the platform
and the household cavalry lined the ap-
proaches to the depot. The royal artillery
fired a salute, u band of grenadiers playing
an anthem. The khedvc,the Duke OF Con-
naught and Gen. Wolsclcy and Sir Edward
Nlalet entered the same carriage and were
drawn to Ghezireh palace. The streets
through which they passed were denscly
crowded and lined by almost all the English
and Indian troops now here. Natives gath.
cred along the route numbering many thou
sands and gave the khcdivc very friendly
welcome. All the Clemas, rs well ~ The
Sheks of FL Azhar, Mosque and the kidi,
were at the depot,

CAIRO, Sept. 2j-Arabi, says the hts,

men connected with the rebellion out of The

We take great pleasure in hosting
the names Of Hon. G. NJ. Webb for
the State Senate and Geo. R. Gardner
for the Assembly. 1t is useless, Of
course, for US to introduce these gen
tlemen to the readers of the REPoR-
TER, or to add anything to their
spotless regulations. AS yet Mr..
Webb has no opponent and the prob
abilities are that he will have none, as
the general feeling is that it would be
utterly useless. Mr.. Gardner has an
opponent in the person of Mr.. G go.
Hiles from the town of Dexter who is
well known, and over whom Mr.. Gard
ner will have an easy victory. We
hope that all republicans will unite
heartily in rolling up for their candi-
dates large majorities, that our rising
young men may see and realize that
hardwork, honesty and faithfuluess to
republican principles are appreciated
by the majority of people in Wood
county.

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK

We hope the Republicans of
Wood county will not fail to sup
port Hon. Isaac Stephenson for
Congress. 1t is probable that the
political parties will bevery nearly
evenly divided in the next House
of Representatives. The Demo-
Gratis have gained some members
in Ohio, have lost one in West
Virginia, and there will probably
be changes in other States. It is
important that the Republicans
shall have control of the next
House, not merely because the
House should be in accord with
the Administration in its efforts to
advance the material interests of
the country, but iii order to secure
important political results. South
ern Dakotah, possessed of the
requisite population, and of great
natural wealth which is almost
wholly undeveloped by reason OF
her territorial condition, has been
denied admission as State by the
opposition of Democrats in Con
gress, for the sole reason that to
admit her will increase Republican
representation in that body, and
strengthen the Republicans in the
next Presidential election. Let
Mr.. Stephenson receive the full
vote of his party, and thus rebuke
the party that, in order to advance
its own political fortunes, has
striven to prevent the birth and
growth Of prosperous common
wealths in the West.

PIIES,

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, as fatuency,
uneasiness Of the stomach, etc. 4
moisture, like perspiration, producing
very disagreable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, is
very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching Piles yield at
once to the application Of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, alleaving the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability, but try
it and be cured. Price, so cents Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it of him, we will send it,
prepaid, on receipt of price Address

DEMOCRATIC TALK.

The Democratic papers talk in be
Hitting manner of such men as Sawyer
and Stephenson, as men of no brains,
illiterate and unrefned They seem
to take collegiate education as a basis
of brains. Where one has had the
misfortune of never being a student in
a college he is man of no brains in
the estimation of the heavy calibre of
the Democracy. The Republican
party has always been party of the
people, free from the aristocratic hum
buggery that man must necessarily
pass through college in order to estab-
fish the fact that he has brains. How
could Lincoln, Wilson, Horace Greeley
and scores of others who might be
mentioned. ever have been known and
honored by the American people if it
had not been for the activity and sta
bility of their brain powers As with
these eminent dead, SO it is with many
of the active men of our day. Sena-
tor Sawyer. although not scholar, is
worth more to the state of Wisconsin
than any man the state ever sent to
Washington. He has brain, ", king
brain and he does not put it all into
preparing speeches never to be deliv-
cred, but to be printed and sent
throughout the United States at the
expense Of the people Mr.. Stephen
son is just such a worker as Mr.. Saw
yer If thev have work to do they do
it with their might and accomplish it
every time. They are the representa-
tive men. They have brain enough to
do business successfully, and what
they are sent to Congress for is to do
business for the people. IF they have
education sufficient to enable them to
conduct their own business when it in
wolves several millions of dollars, it is
quite evident they have enough to sue

have come from abroad one of which
was team harness ordered by party
in Cleveland, Ohio, and one set light

stock is acknowledge to de the best
and his prices compare favorably with

himself, are experienced and finished
workmen which secure to this shop its

ing at the shop. No need of sending

Some Things Stephenson Has Said.

Some Things Stephenson Has Said.
Mr.. S Stephenson would make a
better campaign if he talked less. It
will take good deal Of his cash to
undo the bad effect of his talk upon
his campaign.
Before he was nominated he took
barrel Of money down into Waupaca
county and fixed things, solid, for
himself When he went back home,
instead of telling everybody that he
conceded Waupaca to the Waupaca
man, he boasted that he had fixed it
up, Just too solid, for himself.
Ha saws he will mt one hundred
thousand dollars into the campaign,
and is going to congress if cash will
take him there.
He says there are ffty-seven news
papers in the ninth district, and that
he can fix them all for $4,000. Mr..
Stephenson will not deny that he has
said this on more than one occasion.
He says he will carry Oconto coun-
ty, and tells his friends to bet money
on it, because he says, he has bought
up all the bosses in the county. 1.-The
bosses" may wish MIR. Stephenson was
more discreet than to give the bargain
away OSHKOSH Times.
We brand the above taken from the
Oshkosh Times as false, the writer a
base liar, and challenge proof from
these malicious sianderers. Before
Nir Stephenson was nominated he did
only as other men did, visited some of
the principal men in the district for
the purpose Of learning his prospects.
TO talk of his using money lavishly as
above quoted from the Times is too
unnatural to be true in any man. He
never boosted Of having fixed up
Waupaca county for himself as against
f. L. Brown The honorable Stephen
son is man of shrewd business quail
ties and he is no such fool as the
above mercinaries would have people
believe. A self made man Of Mr.
Stephenson's stamp has not grown up
in the world to be such consumate
ass as to make public his private bust
ness in any such careless way as stated
by the Times. We challenge the
Times to give any evidences or proof
that Mr.. Stephenson ever said to any
one that he would use money freely or
any amount whatever in the campaign
outside of the legitimate expenses of
the canvass. That he ever made use
of the language credited to him by
the Times concerning the newspapers
In the district is too base to even be
believed by the rankest old democrat
in the district, much less by the intelli-
gent voter That the Times could be
bought cheaply, but few who know its
proprietors will doubt for moment.
The fact that the above quoted matter
is credited to the Times will make it
harmless. The political mongrel OF
that sheet makes it entirely unreliable
in politics and therefore no one need
feel any anxiety concerning the re-
suit, as the Hon. Stephenson is rapidly
gaining in popularity and before tbs
first of November there will be boom
for him that will astonish these politi-
cal barnacles of the Times.

A more gentlemanly or better con-
Quoted convention has not been held
in Wood county. It was representa-
tive in its character of the diversified
interests of Wood county. The best
of feeling prevailed among the dele
gates. The ticket is conceded a good
on all sides and will be supported by
the united efforts Of the substantial
people throughout the county.
The intellectual appearance of the
delegates present were in favorable
contrast with those in attendance at
the democratic convention held last
week, who sold out nearly their whole
ticket for the Office of Sheriff.
The merits Of the several candidates
will be discussed next week.
