STRA Y NOTES BYA WAYFARER.

Among the causes that endanger the
election of G. Williams is the fact that
he could only get one man put into the
post Office at Racine, and the disap-
pointed one is moving hades and earth
to have Charley ousted. Good. What
are principles or the country to man
that wants office? Now, if Mr.. Will
liams is elected, ] hope he will do his
best to pass a law that will prevent
Congressman from putting men in
Office.
Another cause is that men who have
no more chance of getting in Office than
they have of getting into heaven always
think there is chance for them when
some ism or ition comes up. To sup
pose that any sensible, honest prohibit
ZIONIST would run for Office, when the
only result is to put in a Democrat, is
great mistake.
The great Democratic victory in
Ohio is not entirely owing to the tenn
perance effort, though that had enough
to do with it to startle temperance
voters from joining hands with Demo
Gratis in this state.
The Stalwart effort in New York anG
Pennsylvania, and the support OF
Chalmers in Mississippi, had something
to do with it. But it is not all bad
Should the Democrats rule the mex
Congress it will waken up spirit thai
will enable the Republicans to carry
the day in 1884. Let us hope that il
this district the temperance voters will
not play into the hands of the Demo
Gratis, but return Williams by large
majority.

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

Some readers of our paper are in
clined to complain that its columns
are too much occupied with political
matters. Politics, simple and pure, il
the science of government. A nobler
science cannot occupy the mind of an
American citizen, since the destinies
of the country are in the hands
of the people, who are the governing
power. Unfortunately, in the present
political contest in this state, there is
but little that is entitled to the name
of governmental science. It is more
a scramble for place, a war of factions,
for temporary power. As mixed and
unmeaning as much of the present ex-
element appears, there is after all at
least one great principle of national
interest involved, which every voter
who desires the continuance of our
present prosperity as a people should
bear in mind. A change of financial
policy would be national calamity.
There will be but one more weekly is
sue of the TELEGRAPH before the elec-
ton will have transpired.

NATIONAL CONVENTION Oh
LIQUOR DEALERS.

The convention Of the National
Liquor Dealers Association of the
United States was held in Milwaukee
last week. The convention was for
mally opened by P. V. Deuster, the
Democratic candidate for Congress
from the Milwaukee district. Mr..
Deuster seems to have gotten himself
fairly mad, in consequence of so much
recent talk about temperance. His
address was surcharged with angry
epithets at the wicked temperance peo-
pile; he characterized them as wild,
desperate, fanatical crusaders" "off-
springs of blind passion" senseless
agitators," attempting "the ruin and
destruction of valuable industries"
vindictive prosecutors" and so ran
Mr.. Deuster's address to the end.
The convention, in accordance with
the key note sounded by Mr.. Deuster.
proceeded to pass q set of resolutions
not forgetting of course to express
their satisfaction over the triumph of
the Democrats in Ohio. Measures
were adopted to raise funds to defend
tile interests of the association. It is
claimed there are 100000 beer and al
coholic liquor dealers in the United
States, representing combined capital
of $120,OOO,OO0.

TIE COUNTY TICKET.

We repeat what has heretofore been
i'd of the Importance of sustaining
the county ticket entire. 1t betrays a
want of Republican consistency to be
governed by mere personal preferences
in the matter of voting. There is not
candidate on the Republican county
ticket OF whom it can be charged, that
he obtained his nomination by unfair
means; the candidates were the DELHI
crate choice of an intelligent conven-
ton of delegates. Their qualifications
Tor the several offices for which thew
have been nominated, have repeatedly
been set forth at length, and no ques-
ton appears to be raised as to the
competency of any one of them. In
these later times party ties have be-
come strangely relaxed without reason.
PRINCIPLES never change, though men
do. II the Republican party was a
party OF principles during the war. and
in the adjustment of our national af.
fairs since, then it is now. There are
still important measures of govern
ment, which the Republican party is
pledged to consummate. Whoever de-
clares all the old issues have passed
away talks nonsense. To maintain the
Republican party i'll its integrity de-
mands the undivided support of town,
county and state nominations. as wei,
as national.
The Republicans Of the county, are
reminded of the Importance Of giving
an undivided support to our candidate
for the legislature, w. S. Maxwell. He
has been tried, and has given evidence
of his fitness for the position. What
renders his election at this time more
important is, that the amendment for
biennial sessions having been adopted

One of the points of interest in Rev.
Fl. M. Corsbie's third sermon on the
life and times of David was David's
espousal and marriage of Michal
daughter of Saul, the king of Israel.
The historian states without hesitancy
that Michal, Saul's daughter, fell in
love with David. 1t would seem she
made no effort to disguise the fact, and
it is stated her father determined to
use the circumstance to accomplish
the death of David. David very mod
estly said he could not think of becom-
ing the kings son-in-law, as he was
the son of poor man, and could not,
as the custom was, bring a suitable
dowry to his prospective father-in-law.
Saul suavely remarked that all the
dowry he required was the Staying of
a hundred of the Phillistines, the
kings enemies, inwardly chuckling to
himself that David would be slain if
he undertook so large a job. But the
work seemed but mere play to David,
and. taking a few trrlsty followers
with him, he Stays two hundred Phil
listineS and brings the tallies to Saul,
who thereupon, according to his prom
Use, gives Mlchal to David, and she be-
comes his wife. Michal, true to her
wifely love, subsequently saves Dayid's
life, when Saul sent his soldiers to
David's house to kill him by substitute
ing an image for David in bed while
she lets him down the wall by back
window and he makes his escape.

OBITUARY.

Died, on Saturday, 2lst inst, at s
A. NJ, Mrs. Mary Gulick, wife of G. M.
Gulick, in the 45th year of her age.
The deceased was characterised by a
retiring disposition and unobtrusive
goodness. She was tenderly devoted
to her children and a faithful helpmate
to her husband, cheerfully performing
all the arduous duties of wife and
mother which pertain to life on the
farm. AS friend and neighbor she
shared the esteem of all who enjoyed
her acquaintance. In 1866 she united
with the Free Congregational church
of Bristol and Paris on profession of
her faith, and has ever since main
tanned consistent christian character.
The funeral services were held on Mon
day, conducted by her pastor, Rev. IL.
M. Corsbie, and were attended by a
large cOncOurse of friends and neigh
bors. Her remains are buried in the
cemetery connected with the Congre-
gatlonal church. Her last illness was
long and severe, though I OF character
lied by extreme pain. Her bereaved
family have the deepest sympathy of
the entire community.

A FULL VOTE.

Let there be a full Republican vote
on the day of election, and let there be
test of the relative strength of par
ties in Kenosha county. In order to
settle this question rightly no side is.
sues should be allowed to interfere, NO
personal likes or dislikes, no personal
partialities or prejudices, should con.
troll the action. of voters. Instability
in political matters is no less excusable
than in business affairs.
We are pleased to learn that what
ever little disaffections may have
existed in respect to any of the candi-
dates on the Republican ticket in the
country towns, they are passing away,
and good degree of harmony pre-
walls. Kenosha county has never had
a ticket for county officers better COM
posed of men of irreproachable char
acter than is presented for the suf-
frages of the people this fall. If every
Republican does his duty at the polls,
every candidate in nomination will be
triumphantly elected.

Hon. G. G. Williams opened the po-
litical campaign the present fall with
his usual courtesy, refraining from
unkind words towards his political OPP
ponent. During all the previous years
of his candidacy, since he has been be-
fore the people, he has uniformly avoid
ed personal attacks on any one. Since
the commencement Of the present
campaign he has been forced to as
sumo an attitude of self-defence. His
political record has been assailed by
John Winans and those who repre-
sent him, his votes in Congress dis
honestly criticised, his recreancy to
Republican principles asserted, and his
private character arraigned before the
public; in short, whatever unprinci-
pied men could invent to disparage
him has been resorted to. In view of
these malignant assaults on his public
and private character, what was Mr..
Williams to do? His enemies taunt-
ingly said he dare not attempt to deny
or disprOve the charges made against
him; that he could not come before
the public and clear himself of the
acts of which he had been accused.
Was Mr.. Williams to keep quiet and
make no replies, thus tacitly admitting
he had no defence9
Mr.. Williams could properly come to
no less a decision than to vindicate
his public record and his private acts
this he wisely concluded to do, at his
home in GAINESVILLE, where his neigh
bOrs and the people in general have
known him for many years. He adj
dressed an immense audience on Fri
day evening last, occupying close at
tention foI over three hours. He de.
Tended his political record in past
years, and exposed the falsity of the
charges of his accusers. Before the
conclusion of his speech he paid his
respects to John Winans, his Demo
cratic opponent. Mr.. Winans had un-
justly attacked the political record of
Mr.. Williams, therefore all right-think-
ing men will agree that Mr.. Williams
was perfectly justifable in laying bare
the disloyal record of Winans. To show
he was disloyal man in the war of the
rebellion, Mr.. Williams quoted from
the papers of that period giving extracts
of his secession speeches and denunci-
atoms of the war; his defense of the
South and his abuse of President Lin
coin. Mr. Williams gave his r9collec-
tions of the disloyal convention at
Chicago in 1864, at which he was pres
ent as a spectator and John Winans as
a delegate. He understood Winans to
make use of the secession utterances
ascribed to him as heretofore published.

EXTRAORDINARY POLITICAL
WARFARE.

Never before in the political history
of Wisconsin were such INSCRIPTIONS
means used to defame and unjustly as
sail the character and past record OF
candidates. Especially is this true in
the case of Hon. C. G. Williams. Every
possible element that can be marshaled
from the lowest to the passably decent,
has been organized and set at work
throwing mud and INDUCING in all
sorts of silly fabricatiOns. The word
is being passed around, leave no stone
untqrned to defeat Williams" let all
national issues be ignored, and treated
of little account, where it will help to
elect John Winans, of disloyal Chicago
convention memory. The leaders of
the unprincipled crusade against Mr..
Williams are two or three disappointed
sOre-headed men at GAINESVILLE. They
professedly have been Republicans;
they have been clamorous for Office, it
is said, and because the party failed to
discover any particular merits in them
they left the ranks, went over to the
Democratic party. aid were set to
work.
Among the agencies employed to de-
feat Mr.. Williams and elect John
1
Winans is the establishment of a little
campaign paper at Janesyille. This
little sheet is evidently not designed to
influence well-informed people, but to
appeal to the prejudices of the ignorant.
AS specimen OF the sort Of argument
against Mr.. Williams, it has headings
as follows: He is demagogue;" as
a legislator he is an ignoramus;" ""Reck-
lessly extravaganza" ga political cow
ard" sc. If the men who edit this
campaign paper should happen to be in
Washington and indulge in that style
of expression in the presence of mem.
bers Of Congress, they would be deemed
fit subjects for the lunatic asylum.

The friends of John Winans are
making feeble attempt to provo his
loyalty in the war of the rebellion,
from the single fact that he took an
active part in public meetings in 1868,
to encourage the raising of bounty
funds for volunteers, so as to avoid
the draft. That is precisely what
some of the most outspoken rebel sym
pathisers in this and other counties
did, to shield themselves and their
friends from being drafted for the ser
vice. If it were necessary to refresh
the memory of any reader, names
could be given.
