lowed the rebellion, but less absolutely
than in the twelve years of administra-
ton of Washington and John Adams.
That is equally true il we compare the
last twenty years with the first twenty
under the constitution. The ndepend-
entaddeess enumerates some recent eases
of dishonesty in high places. In some
of them retribution has been tardv. In
some there has been a natural but indie
fensihle reluctance to accept evidence of
guilt against political associates. But in
the main these are cases whore dishon-
esty has been detected aud remauded to
private life by republicans themselves.
The party has been growing better and
better. IL was better in 'GS than in 81
better in 'i6 than in 'dS better in 81 than
in 80. Attention is called To the fact
that there are unworthy men still con
spicuous. | think il likely Wherever
a victorious army is on the march you
will see these vultures flying in the mir.

OF Mr.. Blaine contains many per-
sons whom / love and honor, many Of

have been honestly misled. But in the
main the honesty, purity, education
strength of the nation is the repu bliean
party. The men who saved the nation
are more patriotic than those who tried

slavery love freedom and labor better
than the men who struggled TO preserve
it, The men who paid the debt are
more honest than those who tried to re-

those who tried TO debase it. The men

the minority who are hoping

Story of a Rat aud Dove.
Hartford Times

A very interesting exhibition of af
finity in animals usually antagonistic
was observed few DAYS ago by a
Hartford gentleman. He has a large
number Of doves, and when they feed
the corn attracts the chickens. spar
rows, and even rats. The birds do
not seem toNbe in tie least frightened
At the hungry rodents, although taese
are of unusual size. No happier fami.
ly exists inside or outside menagerie.
But the Humanitarian aspect of the
strange assortment was shown at its
height The gentleman observed one
of the rats run to the corn, feed hearth
ly, and then run to the carriage house,
a dozen or more feet away. He repeat
cd the visit number of times The
observers curiosity being aroused, he
went to the carriage house and found
one of the doves-a sick one eating
corn there. The object of the rats
movements was made plain--he had
been carrying corn to the dove, unable
to go to the ground itself.

officials commend them TO the admiration and
confidence Of the people of this commonwealth.

The Wisconsin Republicans met Ia
State Convention IN the Assembly
Chamber at the capitol at noon, and
was called to order by Hon. II. a.
Taylor of Hudson, chairman of the
state central committee. Mr. Taylor
said that owing to the mass meetings
this afternoon and evening, 1t was de-
sirable to get through with the bust
ness of the convention in as short
time as possible. Owing to the popu-
larlty of the present state officers and
the unanimous desire for their re-
nomination, the business would soon
be concluded. He called attention to
the torch light procession to-nis hit
and asked that those delegates and
visitors who could possibly do so, re-
main over and carry torches; vote
being taken on the question, it was
agreed to- Mr.. Taylor said it was in
tended by this parade TO light up the
