HIGHLY PLEASED.

From the Stevens Point Gazette
The Republicans Of the entire dis
trict are highly pleased over the nomi-
nation of Hon. Isaac Stephenson to
the Office Of Member Of Congress, and
although at fsrt there was some dis
satisfaction felt by the friends Of the
defeated aspirants, Messrs. Browne and
Webb, and some threats were made,
vet it now looks as though very few, if
any, of them will do anything to defeat
the successful candidate or even vote
against him. They recognize the fact
that Mr. Stephenson is man OF ster-
ling worth and ability, capable of rep
resenting the district in as intelligent
manner as it ever has been in the
past. AS to his uprightness and hon
csty there has never been a doubt, and
from the fact that a majority of the
Democrats of his own county will sup
port and vote for MIN, and some of the
leading ones even work for him, it is
quite evident that he is a gentleman
who can bear acquaintance.
"a MAN OF THE PEOPLE"
From the Ashland Press, CRep)
Mr.. Stephenson is man of the
people, He commenced life as COM
mon laborer in the pineries of North
ern Wisconsin, and has grown up from
that position to one of the foremost
manufacturers Of lumber in the state.
By his industry, integrity and honesty
he has gained the confidence of his
fellow citizens at home, and the re-
spcct and good will of all classes
throughout the district and state He
is a genial, pleasant man, in the prime
of life, full of energy, a tlreless work
er, and in every respect a man of first
class business abilit Y and habits. He
will make good square representa-
tive in Congress, one who will be a
credit to his constituency, and one who
will ever be found at his post doing his
duty without fear and without Local
Partially.
The Convention having thus fal
tremendously completed its labors, il
but remains for the people to ratify its
work at the polls. That they will Dc
this there is no doubt but they should
remember, notwithstanding the dis
triet is largely Republican, that victory
alone perches upon the banners of The
most vigilant. and best organized army

Judicial Sense.

Prot. Bascom, of the State Univer-
sity. delivered a speech in Madison on
the question of Woman's Rights, Civ
ing his opinion upon its merits, and
the last two sub heads are sound to
the core. They are as follows, read
them carefully
JUDICIAL SENSE
& second conrrasted defect lies
somewhat in the same direction 1t is
a hayward and changeable sense of
justice. The judicial sentiment. which
does not mean a pursuit Of absolute
justice, but clear practical and re-
strained sense of what our fellow men
can properly claim of US under existing
customs, can be acquired only by free
movement among men, and a contact
in large variety of ways with the
customs and feelings which form the
organizing forces of society, enforce
it's secondary rules and maintain its
general methods. Women lacking
this full access to the many currents
and cross currents of judicial senti-
ment, are liable to miss, now on the
side of excess and now on that Of
deficiency, those sound Judgments
which the practical and protracted
experience of men have framed for us
all. There is a much-needed correc-
ton, which can only come as the fruit
Of larger range of duties, and of
more public and more pressing rela-
tons
A last, and it seems to me. more
positive and general defect in the
character of women, is that of too
great Difference to social distinctions
and social sentiment which regulates
our social intercourse with each other
is of very material moment in its in
fuence on character and its connection
with social well-being Petty, perse-
vering and selfseeking distinctions in
society work in a small way all the
contemplate and imphcable sorts of
caste. There is no one quality which
society so much requires for the benefit
alike of high and low as fuency, easy
intercourse between all the members.
Business demands and men are cores
pondingIy free in meeting each other.
The Intercourse of families, under the
guidance Of women chiefly, is harrassed
with many worthless vexations and
tormenting distinctions, that injure ali
who are parties to them. The crown
ing result Of the limited circle of ac-
ton which social customs assign wo-
men is that they rule in that circle in
a correspondingly narrow and intense
way. Little tyrants are always the
worst tyrants on account of the minute
ness Of the things with which they
have to do. Incident to these petty
things, pettily handled, is the entirely
false estimate which women attach to
dress. In the past fifty years, women
have suffered extreme physical dis
comfort III many directions in ODE
dience to fashions which in themselves
have been ugly and fantastic. Good
sense and Just taste are both obscured
by opinions which have no basis save
in the fluctuations Of this little land :
locked sea of social vanities. The on
ly remedy for making too much of little
things, is to make enough of great
things and these great things must
be within the scope of our action, or
re shall find ourselves doomed una
wares to the magnifying of secondary
interests.

are manifest deficiencies which can
only be removed by that precise disci-
pine and those precise relations which
have been provided for in our duplex
nature. We nov magnify unwisely
what we term beauty Of character in
woman and strength of character in
man, as if true character should not
greatly covet both elements. We can
not afford to have men, husbands and
fathers, brothers and sons, whose char
acters are hard and unspiritual Beau

to have wives and mothers whose gen .

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IS. 1882

The machine ring bosses of the re-
publican party in Clarke county
Bloomfield, Banks and Daniels, had
the assurance to deny in their per-
sonal organ last week that they have
dictated to the party, or held the lash
over party members, or forced odious
issues on the party. Their audacity
in this denial is only equalled by their
servility in machine trickery. Prob
ably every man, woman and child in
Vancouver knows that Banks stood
on the street the morning of the county
republican convention, with set of
fanatical temperance resolutions in his
hand, which he showed to every as
pirant for county nomination that
he could button-hole, demanding that
the candidate should pledge himself
to be guided by, to endorse and sus-
tain those. resolutions. To each one
who refused his demands he declared
they should not be nominated, and so
it turned out. Neither Mr.. Orwell,
Mr.. Christ, Mr.. Robb, or any other
man to which this was done would dare
deny it, for many other men heard
these things as they took place. If
such conduct is not dictatorial, is not
forcing an odious issue, then new
meanings must be created for these
terms. That Daniels and Bloomfield
hold the party lash and are applying
it may be seen by reading the plat
form resolutions passed by the county
convention. All men who refuse to
support the machine are to be read
out of the party and be duly punished
therefor. Every one of these resolu-
tons emanated from the Office of
Bloomfield and Daniels, and are in the
handwriting of Mr.. Byron Daniels.
If that is not applying the party lash,
then We must designate it As applying
the butt end of the whip. There is no
Use in denying that they have COW
cred the party with Odius issues. The
first aud most odious issue they have
forced upon the party is the leader
ship of Bloomfield, Daniels and Banks.
Two years ago the party as a party
went TO the wall in Clarke county, be-
cause of the dictatiou of the two
former, and their leadership resulted
in the defeat of over half the republic
can ticket, and now, knowing that
this same opposition to theirdictation
will produce even a worse result this
year, they still persist in their former
course. Is this working for the good
and the unity of the republican party,
or is it to further personal ends, in
accordance with the report which has
become current that it is not the party
those wouldbe leaders care for, but
they want to punish the persons swho
have so long refused to accede to their
demands.
And so the republican organization
of Clarke county is simply reduced to
the status of bludgeon, for the use OF
a couple of busted politicians. To
purge county politics OF the influence
Of such men, the people must unite in
cleaning them out, and all their TOOLS
