EDITORIAL COMMENT

Since the publication of the scurrilous
article in Ed. Pollock's contemplate
Democratic sheet, containing nothing
but base and cowardly insinuations
against MI. Orr, we have believed that
the people of Grant county know that
gentleman and his splendid record as
District attorney, too well TO be influ-
enced by the article referred to; which
was ingeniously prepared, to deceive
the people, and thereby help Mr.. Orr's
competitor to step into the office which
he has so creditably filled, that no law
yer, conversant with the facts, can be
found in the county who does not know
that in every case he acted with sound
judgment in the interests of the people,
whose servant he is, and whose inter-
ests he has been true to in every in
stance. How clear his record is, may
be judged, when it is known that he
has had sent to the penitentiary larger
proportion of criminals prosecuted by
the State, than any other District Attor-
neg that Grant county ever had; and
when, with the aid of an ingenious
lawyer, his enemies can only darby
intimate that some blame, which they
dare not define, should be attached to
him in the cases referred to above, and
the facts in which cases are so clearly
and frankly stated by Mr.. Orr In the
above communication. The people,
next Tuesday, will place the stamp of
their disapproval on the despicable
trickery and deceit sought to be i'm
posed upon them by the article in Ed
Pollock's Democratic sheet.

County Treasurer Mcmahon.

EDITOR HERALD:-A short time age
Ed. Pollock's sheet published a serie
of questions relating to affairs in tn,
County Treasurer's office, which pur
ported to come from the 3rd district
The questions are very unfair, and
show clearly that the writer did not ash
for information, but sought by base in
situations and inuendo to convey The
idea that there was some mismanage
ment of the affairs in my office, and t
lead people to infer, what the writer
dare not openly charge. For this reason
| have concluded to make this reply, SO
that anyone who may desire, can know
all the facts. The intimations of the
author are too thinly disguised to de
ceiye many. He has asked several ques
tons with the sole purpose of causing
people to infer that there is some
crookedness in my accounts, and ther
has thrown in some honest and far ques.
tons to make it appear that he is ar
honest inquirer. Every man who reads
the papers knows just how mnch money
was in the Hodges Bank. Everyone
knows that the County Treasurer sends
his full account to the County Board
each year, which account is most thor.
oughly investigated; and that a special
examining committee was never heard
of, except in cases where special acts OF
corruption had been charged. The
County Treasurer's books are open
every day for inspection by any man
who cares to investigate. | am ready
at any minute to furnish full and COM
plete statement as to any and all tran
sactions of mine, or as to the state OF
the treasury, to any man or set of men
who have any right to ask for informa-
ton. 1. Hodges did sign my bond, as
did twenty-eight others of the most sub
stantial men of Grant county, bankers,
merchants and farmers, and my bond
was carefully examined and approved
by the committee appointed for that
purpose. My bondsmen are about the
same men who have signed the bonds
of public officers for many years. i
could not require bond from Hodges
because the money was not left with
him for his benefit or convenience, nor
did any considerable amount remain
with him for any length of time The
money was left there for safe keeping
until could pay it out. Mr.. Hodges
bank was the only safe and convenient
place for men in the south part of the
county to transact county business, and
large part of the money in Hodges
bank had been paid in only three or
four days before the failure. / never
have received one cent of interest from
anybody for county money in my keep
ing. l never loaned one cent of county
money to anybody.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Ed. Pollock or no one else supposes
that Mr.. McMahon has overstepped the
bounds of prudence in the management
of the County's finances; and the inter-
rogatories were only published to indi-
rectly convey TO the minds of those who
do not know the facts, dim suspicion
that something was wrong. 1t was
just such cowardly attack, as con-
temptible coward like Ed. Pollock is
capable of making. Mr.. Mcmahon is a
capable, honest officer who has seen fit
not to pander TO this Pollock, and the
naopla will yindieafa him at tho raollc

slOlla! UlsIIlcI Is OnllLIe0, the
vote can not be counted, and
Mr.. La Follette's name might
as well have been left off of the
ticket, for all the benefit that
such a ballot will be to him, or
to the voter who places it in
the ballot-box.
After printing these bogus
tickets, Pollock placed them in
the hands of his fellow Demo
cratic conspirators to be
scratched and mutilated, and
they are now going from house
to house throughout the coun-
ty, leaving these tickets with
unsuspecting Republicans to
be voted.
Republicans, see to collect
ing these bogus tickets and
burning them before election.
Enquire of every voter if he
has a ticket, and, if he has,
examine it, and, if bogus, de-
stroy it.
We earnestly call upon hon.
est Democrats who are in favor
of an honest ballot, to help by
their votes to place the seal of
popular disapproval and con-
demnation on those who have
perpetrated this outrageous
fraud upon the people, irrespec-
tive of party, of Grant county
and the state of Wisconsin, by
this barefaced attempt to intro
duce Southern methods in car
rying an election in this state.

our duty to express our disapprobation
of the dishonorable course taken by the
Democratic Editor of the Teller, 4"
(while masking in the cloak of Repub-
licanism) in politics, and especially his
villainous course in trying to prevent
fair expression of the choice of the
voters of this district, by flooding the
county with bogus tickets, which are
calculated to mislead voters, and there
by defeat the Republican ticket in this
district. Therefore, we demand that
our names be stricken from your list of
subscribers to the Teller as we re-
gard this. your last act, as one which
places you beneath the respect of honest,
and decent people.

The Wonderful Sunsets.

The strange sunsets and sunrises,
with longlasting ruddy twiiights, green
and blue sun, and strangely tinted
moon, continue deservedly to attract
attention The s;rangest thing of all
is that they continue still to be seen.
They began in Ser:eI Der. and now as
/ write, late in January. see after
sunset red glare reaching to the
northern horizon. Consider what it
means For the northern skies to be
reddened in this way after sunset, the
region of dust or whatever else it NAV
be which is Illuminated with ruddy
Light must be at least twenty miles
above the earth's surface.
I have nothing 10 add to the various
suggc stons which have been afforded,
except to note that if the whole earth
had been peppered with volcanic dust
from Krakatoa. the evidence respec-
ting me,eoric dust on which the views
recently accepted have been chiefly
based must be reconsidered. For it
becomes clear that one large volcanic
outburst can do more to bring matter
Stimulating the appearance of meteor
dust to the earth's surface that would
suffice for fifty years OF meteoric sup
ply as hitherto calculated. The small
er volcanic explosions taking place
every year would therefore quite easily
account for every particle of supposed
meteoric dust hitherto collected Prot.

The Mormon party WAS chiefly distin-

proportion OF elderly and gray-headed
escorts; while the scarcity OF middle
aged women and the small proportion
of young men seemed conspicuous.
The appearance of 4 blooming little
Mormon beauty, scarcely into her
teens, whirling through 3 passionate
waltz in the close embrace of fiery
eyed old grandfather, in whom the
fires had no right to lurk, struck me as

fair companions with all the apprecia-
