LATER.-Tuesday evening of this
week the Republicans of Linden had
their first campaign rally, and it
was such an enthusiastic event
as will prove effective on the day of
election. Some thirty loyal mem
bers Of the Mineral Point Blaine
and Logan club came out, bringing
their torches and enough more to
swell the procession to seventy
five torch bearers. After march
headed by the band, they broke
ranks and repaired to the hall to
listen to-the speakers, Messrs. Phil.
Cheek, Jr., of Baraboo, and 7. Allen,
Jr., of Mineral Point. All Linden
was out. Such zealousness and 10y
atty is seldom seen in a village the
size of this.
Mr.. Allen was the first to address
the throng. lie dwelt principally
upon the the temperance cause and
its steady advancement through Re
publican administration, and the in
effectual gain and visible disadyan-
tages by the third party movement.
Figures that don't lie" were en-
ployed as proof, and there is every
evidence, from remarks heard since,
that all who heard Mr.. A. regard
him as being in the right.
Mr.. Cheek then followed, making
a mastery and enlightening address.
lie treated on all national issues Of
importance, and touched the leading
candidates and their worth in a frank,
forcible manner. He's a good one,
and woke up our people to the real
ization of their duty. DASH.

Mr.. HUNTINGTON letters, so far
as published, lift only corner of the

other documents, if they exist, may OF

the chances are against it. Enough

The 'Refector" An Official Paper.

The democrats Of Dickinson county
and others who are not democrats Will
be glad to learn that the REFLECTOR,
for the coming year. will be an official
paper Of the county. The Board of
Commissioners. at its present sitting,
awarded the contract to the Gazette at
legal rates, with the written agreement
that the REFLECTOR and Chronicle were
to each receive one-third. Consequent
ly, all county matters will be published
in the three papers at no more than one
legal rate. The REFLECTOR returns its
thanks to the Board for the cOnsidera-
ton shown it. Although two of the
three Commissioners are republicans,
the Board unanimously and justly ar
rived at the conclusion that the demo-
Gratis of the county were numerous
enough to deserve recognition in this
matter of the county printing and that
the REFLECTOR, a growing paper of
general circulation. should not be ig-
nored. a precedent has been establish
ed which the REFLECTOR hopes will be
followed no matter which marty claims
the Board. The present arrangement is
eminently just and satisfactory to all
parties, and should be maintained.
Furthermore, the REFLECTOR takes
pleasure in acknowledging the courtesy
with which it was treated by its esteem
ed contemporaries.

The Protected East.

We read in Eastern journals that New
Years day did not find the people so
prosperous and contented as they were
"when the year 1883 came in" And
we are further told that manufactures
''of iron and Of cotton and WOODEN goods
"are working with reduced force and
''curtailing their product, or are giving
'their hands the option of taking lower
''wages or going without work altogeth-
err
1t viii thus be seen that the protected
East has not been prosperous. Out
here in the agricultural west, however,
the volume of all business has been
greatly increased, and the people have
prOspered. The difference in the con-
ditiOn Of the two sections may or may
not be the difference between two in
duStrial syStemS-between protected
business and legitimate business. Nor
does the protected workman have a
bright future before him. Here in dead
of winter, amid snow and with the Their
mometer down below zero, he is given
the ''optiOn of taking lower wages or
''gOing without work altogether" And
yet the only argument of protectiOnists
is that the system elevates and dignifies
American labor. The shivering, starry
ing workman would be glad to have
some one point out just how he is pro-
tected.
Reading further on, we come to the
statement that wall street has never
'befOre been so gloomy at a holiday
"seasOn. The brokers are in no mood
''for fun. From the top to the bottom
"of the list stocks have largely declined
Sin price as compared with the sales of
"a year ago. Good and bad have gone
'down together, the stocks of the most
prosperous and best managed roads
shaving dropped with the rest, though |
''their dividends may have kept up.
1.-THE aggregate loss because of this de- |
Seine has of course been erroneous so |
''far as the market value of stocks is
concerned. Men who were counted |
''aS the posSeSSor of many millions last |
New Years Day, are to-day badly |
crippled, and spectators who followed
"their lead are now cursing them as the
"authors of their miSfortunes."
The people see in this that turn has
been called in the specializing mania,
and that great deal of water is being
out of stocks. The gamblers
do not receive much sympathy from
honest people who are engaged in legit-
innate business. Notwithstanding the
it will be seen that the divi-
dends have kept up, and the only con-
clusion left to the reader is, that the
people are the ones who are
feeling the hard times. Gambling in
stocks, in wheat, corn, lard. pork and
other provisions is no more reprehensi-
BILE than gambling on high protective
tariff. The same principle underlies
them all, and the poor suffer.
The dark dependency of the protect
I'd East is made darker by the light of
4 prosperous free West.

had been inflicted upon the people of
this State under preceding republican
executives, and the admirable direction
which democratic House has taken,
have scared the republican party, and
by a show of eleventh-hour virtue it
hopes to perpetuate its power and the
power of the mOnopOlies which it feeds
and supports. But the old trick wont
win this time.
-
To the REFLECTOR'S challenge to
discuss the tariff question with the
Chronicle and Gazette, the latter paper
SAYS: ''Some of the 'blow-wind' BOur-
''bon papers are trying to fix the minds
''Of their readers in favor of Free
Trade, but it is no gO-the people are
mot inclined in that direction" To
thus summarily dispose of question
which is assuming such vital impOr-
lance, pre-supposes ignorance in the
mind Of the reader, or else the writer
does not understand the question or is
afraid Of it. So much for "a paper
''that strives to benefit its constituent
''cy, and endeavors to be an instructive
land welcome visitor''-and so on, dd
HJitlmi, dd Rd,tSedtu1l. And the Cbroni-
Gle, that paper which ''gives more read
ling matter and tries in every way to
make the best paper in the county"
without succeeding, by the way, since
the REFLECTOR occupies the pinnacle, J
with petulance and ill-humor which
clearly betrays its fear of the great ques-
ton of American politics, says: ''To sat
''isfy the curiosity of the young man of
1.-The REFLECTOR we simply remark
THAT the Chronicle takes hold Of the
tariff question just as it wants to. AT
''present we prefer to remain spectator
''Of the lively fight now going on in the
democratic ranks over this question,
rather than take a hand" Just so,
and your enjoyment of the fight may
become so intense that you will take
a hand when it is too late. But alb
Sent-mindedneSS sometimes covers very
grave defects; Sit is very proper for a
person to be afraid of a question he
cannot handle practically and logically.

question, and accordingly bill will be

This action, all well informed demo-

doctrines of the party. The gage will

1t is with extreme pleasure that the
REFLECTOR welcomes its esteemed con-
temporary, the Gazette, to its new role
of advocating railroad reform. The
REFLECTOR hopes that it is sincere,
and that it will denounce and help the
democrats undo the fragrant wrongs
which its party has heaped upon the
people. The republican party for the
past twenty years has dealt with this
great question in an abstract manner,
but the abuses have grown and multi
piled until the people have no confidence
in its professions. According to Gus
