WINANS IN THE VAR.

1t is too bad that the necessities of the
case require that John Winans should be
compelled to stand up before an audience
in Watertown or elsewhere and tell such
deliberate falsehoods as he did Friday
evening With the most brazen impu-
dence he declared that the charge of dis
loyalty to the government during the re-
beliion, could not be truthfully laid at his
door. There is little matter Of record
showing how Mr.. Winans stood at that
time and how he talked in a speech at
Lima, Rock county, as reported in the
GAINESVILLE Gazette, Of April 9TH, 1868:
The meeting organized and Winans
took the stand. He said he felt solemn.
There was party in power who were de-
termined to destroy the constitution; who
were recklessly breaking down all bar
riers between the people and despotic
power. He said the Republicans and
Abolitionists were about one and tt
same, and they were the sole cause of the
war; that Lincoln was an usurper; want
ed his Democratic frienls to unite as one
man to put down the administration. for
it must anc should be put down. He
dealt in the merest claptrap of the day,
the same kind of Copperhead sentiments
we hear uttered in the streets and bar
rooms every day, from the common loaf
er up to the gentlemanly swaggerer Not
one patriotic appeal was made in behalf
OF our suffering and betrayed country
No policy was marked out by which to
avert the impending ruin with which we
are threatened Mere partisan appeals
and cowardly and traitorous stahs at the
Government characterized the whole eff
fort OF the speaker.
At home Winans does not deny this.
1.-The ever made any speeches OF different
character, when and where was it done?
Why don't Winans cite oDe or two in
stances at least? The meetings he talks
about, heid at his Office, were for the pur-
pose of filling the quota so as to avoid a
draft. It will not do for a delegate to
the Chicago Mcclellan convention, who
shouted himself hoarse for its hero, Val
landighan, as John Winans was and did.
to try and deceive the people in this way.

W. IL. ROGERS, of Fort Atkinson
closed the Winans meeting Friday even
ing with little exbortation to democrats
to stand by the ticket. Rogers must
have forgotten how his party treated a
similar appeal from him four years ago.
Then the Fort Atkinson statesman was
a candidate for District Attorney, and he
wanted votes. But he received then onIv
300 against Steiner's 64S. 1t was a spec
linen of Watertown democratic independ-
ence in voting that Rogers didn't like
and which he fears repetition of now.
Rogers belittled himself and paid a
poor compliment to the intelligence of his
audience, in alleging that the late
Charles Fl. Phillips after being elected
senator, repaid the obligation by detach-
ing Concord from Que Assembly District
and attaching it to another. Asa matter
of fact Mr.. Phillips never took his seat in
the Senate, his death occurring twelve
days before the legislature convened
Rogers other remarks were equally de-
void OF sense and truth, but cur space is
too valuable to warrant following him
any further.

VII Y WINANS.

Winans in his speech Friday evening
dwelt largely upon the increased appro-
priations made by Congress, and tried to
be very facetious over the Garfield funeral
and Yorktown "drunks'', as he was pleas
ed to term them. He was careful not to
state, however, as regards the two latter,
that all the expenses incurred, whether
for liquors or cigars, were at the hands of
John q. Thompson, Democratic Sergeant
alarms of the House Of Representatives,
and Senator Johnson, democrat, chair
man of the Committee of Arrangements
on the Yorktown Celebration. So that
if all that Winans says were true, the
responsibility rests upon the democrats.
But is it true? The following extract

These figures will DE found interesting
to tax payers. They are not our own man
ufacture. They are taken from the re-
cords and ought to open the eyes of vo-
tiers. Perhaps Mr.. Cunningham, who is
candidate for sheriff. can explain how
it is that the sheriff's office of this county
is such an expensive institution. Why
were bills presented for S1,640.00 more
than they were allowed at? Were ever
sheritf's bills for such a large amount
heard Of before? And was there ever
such cutting down in the history Of the
county as the one above shown? Why
should there be any reduction The
law fixes 2 Sherifs fees and charges,
except in certain matters as TO board Of
prisoners, etc, which are agreed upon in
a ivance between the Sheriff and the
County Board. Furthermore, his ac-
counts must be and always are sworn to,
as required by law, but Notwithstanding
all this, items to the amount of 81 $40, 90
were rejected. Look at the difference be-
tween this and Columbia county, as
shown by the following:
PORTAGE, Wis, Oct. %. '82.
DEAR SIR:-The amount claimed and

Yours,
VIM. B. SMITH,
County Clerk.
This, it will be noticed, was for ten
months. Add the pro rata for 2 months,
and we have $2,667 90 as the cost of the
sheriff S Office in Columbia county for
one year, and its population is nearly as
large as ours. Who will say that there is
net something rotten somewhere?
Our county tax last year was $54, 756.
so. In Rock county, which has larger
population than this, the county tax was
$45,6l0.89. Why this difference? Year
by year the taxes are growing higher
and higher. The ring which infests the
courthouse is responsible for much of this
increase, and the sooner there is thor
ou2h cleaning out, and change in adj
ministration, the better for the people
who have to foot the bills. Elect
VIM. f. Sommerfeld sheriff and there
will be no stealing-no overcharging-no
Sl64O cut in his bill. His honesty and
his correct business habits are sufficient
guarantee of this.
