The Buffalo Express, a red hot
republican, paper says of Grover
Cleveland:
| The people of Buffalo have known Mr. Cleve-
| land as one of their worthiest citizens, one of
their manifest men, faithful to his clients faith
full to his friends, faithful to every public trust.
| If he were not a candidate for office. his
| fellow townsmen, almost without exception
| would not hesitate to say this of him. But
| although he is candidate, and a candidate
whom we shall strive with all our might to
defeat, truth and justice remaining the same,
| why should the Express hesitate to say it now?'

The Million, published at Des
Moines, claims Iowa as a doubtful
state 1t says:
I'VE have taken particular pains to make i'm
partial inquiry, and we give 1t our firm con-
vietion that with united opposition, which is
quite likely to be, the Blaine and Logan ticket
can be beaten by 10000 majority in Iowa. This
conviction is based on a quarter of eenturys
observation OF American politics."

The Monroe Sentinel of last week
says:
Democrats are talking of making Wettengel
their candidate for member of Assembly from
the second district of Green county. In point
of ability Fred is the peer of any man in that
party.
Mr.. Wettengel has been a life
long faithful and consistent demo-
crat, and hosts of his friends would
be pleased to see the light of his
democratic countenance shining in
the Wisconsin Assembly.

nesday says:
letter from Rev. Mr. Irish, Consul to Cognac,
France, is received and will appear next week
We would like to have the SEN
tinel also publish the letter which
Rev. Mr.. Irish sent out to his
brother ministers when jeremiah
Rusk was running for Governor, and
which certified that Rusk was a
prohibitionist and consistent
temperance man. Rusk might like
to have few copies of the letter to
show to his friends in Milwaukee.

editor, J. G. Knight, was present at
the recent democratic rally in this
city says:

CATION going up from this city. 1t is only true

made BY Hon. D. B. Jones and Hon. NJ. NJ. Strong,
NTs, Mt, n Q II

The Evening Wisconsin of Friday,
last, under the heading of Zone of
the fools in Texas" quotes the
following from Pittsburg paper:
A. B. Norton, editor of paper down in Texas,
when young man made vow that he would
never shave or have his hair cut until Henry
Clay was elected president, anG he has kept his
vow. His beard lies away down on his breast
and his hair reaches below his belt and he carries
his moustache behind his ears. He is said to
resemble ape in the face.
This is the same Norton who was
sent here in 1876 by the republican
managers, and the above description
of him is about correct. AS waver
of the bloody shirt he is the peer of
any man in the republican party,
and he will doubtless be around
again this year.
1t seems that the Milwaukee
republicans do not succeed any
better in their ratification efforts
than the republicans of Mineral
Point. Says the Milwaukee Daily |
