NORMAN L. JAMES.

The Richland County RepuJlican
Observer, whose FIRST choice for stats
senator was another man, accepts
the nomination ST Mr.. James yeyy
gracefully, and gives him the fol-
lowing handsome endorsement;
Mr.. James is too well known, to
the people of this county to need
any special commentator through
the columns Of The Republican. and
Observer lie was born i'm New
Hampshire IN the year ls4C, lie
came to this village with his parents
in the year 1855, and this has been
his home ever since. At the break
inc out oG the war he enlisted in
company f, 10th Wisconsin regi
ment, in which he served about a
year, being discharged oa account Of
sickness. He was at and participat
ed in the battle Of shiloh MIR
James was educated n farmer, which
occupation he followed until going
into the army. Upon his return t
civil life he engaged in the hard
ware business and founded the hard
ware house of James Bros, which
has become one Of the foremost in
stitutions of the county. From tina
time he has taken an active, energet

The New MuAigauS.

Fisher and MuIligan have pro-
duced a supplementary bot of letters
during the past week, one which
they say are those which they have
heretofore charged rs having been
in Mr.. Blaine's possession, but not
read by him. They are IN the same
strain as the former letters, only
furnishing additioaal proof that the
correspondence between Blaine and
Fisher was strictly of d business
character, and had no relation what
ever to Mr.. Blaine's- oifisial duties
as speaker or member of the House
of Representatives. Whoever will
read the Mulligan letters and what
has been said and written on all
sides, and the circumstances under
which they were penned5 will be as
tonished that any person can be
found to claim thai they prove any
against MIR. Blaine.

ic part in building up the manufac
turing, mercantile, and agricultural
interests of the county, and has
spent his money lavishly in promot
ing various enterprises. He was
one of the leading spirits in building
our railroad, devoting over years
hard labor to that special work. Al
the present time he is extensively
engaged in stock raising and dairy
farming, and in addition thereto has
during the last three years been
busily employed in running mum
Der of saw mills, furnishing timber
for the Chicago, Milwaukee d St
Paul railroad company, paying out
during that time over 100000 fol
labor alone. Whatever has been
undertaken for the developement oil
the county and the promotion of its
best interests has always found in
him a moving spirit, ready and will
ing worker. He has always kept q
large force of laboring men in his
employ, paying them the highest
possible wages. The statements OF
outsiders to the contrary notwith
standing, he has the confidence OF
the working people, to whom he has
always been staunch friend. Mr.
James was a member of the assem-
bly, in 1873 and 1875. Each time
that he was a candidate, he carried
seven Of the eight towns in his dis
trict against strong and popular OPP
ponents. He has also held yariou,
local offices, the duties and trusts OF
which he discharged with the ut
most fidelity. He was a delegate to
the national Republican convention
liz 1880, which nominated the la
mented James A. Garfield, and was
largely instrumental with the other
Wisconsin delegates in bringing
about his nomination.
AS regards the candidacy for the
state senatorship, it can be said
within the limits of truth that Mr..
James made no special, extraordina-
ny or undue efforts to secure the
nomination. Having secured such
nomination fairly, squsrely, and hon
estly, let all Republicans unite with
chcerfulness and enthusiasm and
give him a cordial support and en-
sure his election. The experience
Mr.. James has heretofore had in the
Legislative halls of the state will be
of value to him, and in the event of
his election be the better enabled to
to take and maintain Ieaaing posi-
ton in the senate. There is no
doubt of his ability and his DISPOSE
ton to look after the interests OF the
entire people of the district To the
people of IOWA county who may be
under the impression that he. will be
preiudiced in his official actions
against theiainterests, we wilbpledge
that he will attend to their interests
equally with those of Richland.

In Georgia there is a strong pro-
hibition sentiment, but no prohibi-
ton ticket Will be nominated. The
head of the Order of Good Tenn
plars in the state has written let
ter in which he says:
GAS to the electoral ticket for st.
John and Daniel, you know that de-
feat is inevitably the result. Can
any organization or individual man
ifest such an interest, or put forth
such efforts as will be creditable
when there is no hope of success?
The temperance movement has a
host of friends in Georgia who OPP
pose this policy. Can we afford
thus to divide the temperance work
crs, aud perhaps sacrifice this ele-
ment, a powerful one, when the pro-
hibition question is submitted on its
merits, at the altar of a known fail
ure? Many other letters of the
same purport have been written me,
also some few on the other side"

parture from Kentucky, we were in
the presence of chosen and trusted
friends, united, by what | knew was
in my native state of Pennsylvania
a perfectly legal form of marriage.
On reaching home, | found that my
family, and especially my bereaved
mother, strongly discountenanced
my business plans, as involving too
long a separation from home and
kindred. | complied with her wish
that | should resume at least for a
time my occupation in Kentucky,
whittier returned in the latter part
of August. During the ensuing
winter |, induced by misgivirgs,
which were increased by legal con
situations, became alarmed least a
doubt might be thrown upon the
validity of our marriage, by reason
of noncompliance with the law of
the state where it had occurred, for
| had learned that the laws Of Ken
lucky made license, certified by
the clerk of the county court, an in
dispensable requisite of legal mar
riage. After much deliberation and
an anxiou desire to guard in the
most effectual manner against any
possible embarrassment resulting
from our position-for which alone
was responsible--we decided that
the simplest and at the same time
the surest way was to repair to
Pennsylvania aud have another
marriage service performed. This
was done in the presence of witness
es, in the city of Pittsburg, in the
month of March, 1851, but was not
otherwise made public, for obvious
reasons. 1t was solemnized only to
secure an undisputable validity, the
FIRST marriage being by my wife and
myself always held sacred. AT the
mature age of 54 | do nos defend
the wisdom or prudence Of secret
marriage, suggested by the ardor
and inexperience of youth; but its
honor and its purity is inviolate, as
| believe, in the sight of God, and
cannoa be made to appear otherwise
by the wicked devises of men. 1t
broughs to me a companiosship
which has been my chief happiness
from boYhood's years to this hour
and has crowned me with whatever
success L have attained in life. My
eldest child, son, was born in his
grandmother's house, on the 8th day
of June, 1851, in the city of Augas-
ia, Me-, and died in her arms three
years later; His ashes repose il the
cemetery OF his native city under
meath stone which recorded his
name and the limits of his innocent
life. That stone which has stood
for almost an entire generation, has
recently been defaced by brutak
and sacraligicus hands.
As a candidate for the presidency
knew that | should encounter
many forms Of calumny and person
al defamation, !, bat | confess that |
did not expects to be called upon to
defend the name of a beloved and
honored wife, who is a mother and
a grandmother, nor did | expect that
the grave of my little child would
be cruelty desecrated.
Against such gross forms of wrong
the law gives no. adequate redress,
and | know that in the end my most
effectual appeal against The unspeak-
able outrages which | resist, must be
TO the noble manhood and the noble
womanhood of America
Your friend, very sincerely,
JAMES c. BLAINE.

the Women's Temperance Uunion,
and has rendered the Prohibition
cause long, faithful, and eminent SER

why Prohibitionists ought not to

prohibition is state and not a ma

the nature of our government. It
is not within the powers granted to.
the national government by the con
