OLD SETTLERS ONCE MORE.

Probably most old settlers and their
friends in the county will have learned
before this paper reaches them that
Tuesday, the 10th OF September, inst,
has been appointed for the old settlers
meeting. The intervention of rain
prevented the meeting last week, but
for which there unquestionably would
nave been great assembly of people
at Paddock's lake. The people seem
to have been enthused as never before
on an. occasion Of this kind in this
county. It is earnestly hoped there
has been no abatement Of en.hus iasm
because of the necessity of postpone
ment last week. Let it be resolved
that Tuesday. the 10th of September,
shall be a grand tribute of respect to
the old settlers of Kenosha county,
who by industry and enterprise have
made it one of the moet desirable agri-
cultural districts in the state.

The county convention, which as
sembled in this city on Monday last,
did large business Tor single session,
as will be seen by the summary of pro-
ceedings in this paper. Every town in
the county and every ward in the city
was represented. The contest for
some of the offices was quite lively,
but good degree of kind feeling and
harmony prevailed tn roughout the pro-
ceedings. We do not accept that SOFT
of political orthodoxy which holds
that when ticket havin & on it half a
dozen or more names, nominated in
convention, all the nominees on the
ticket are from that time forward to
be regarded honest, capable and good
men. A nomination in convention
does. not change the previous status of
the man. The ticket nominated by
the convention has on it excellent
men; taken as whole, it is a good
ticket. There were perhaps mistakes,
but these are not easily avoidable in
hurried proceedings. The number of
candidates in nomination is too large
to be Individually noticed by editorial
commentary at this time; that may be
attempted at another time, if necessary.
Most of the nominees are tolerably
we'll known to the voters of the county.

STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State convention,
held al Madison on Wednesday last,
with great unanimity nominated all
the present state officers for rec lection.
All parts of the state were represented
in the convention. It's presumed this
action of the convention was generally
anticipated. 1t is well merited com.
pliment to their past services.

SOME NE WSPAPER METHODS
NOT GENERALITY UNDER
STOOD

1t is frequently rather difficult in
these times to determine the measure
of mans mental caliber for literary
work. when patent insides and out
sides (so-called) Of newspapers came
into use, it was long time before
many newspaper readers had any idea
that they were not original, or that
they were gotten mp in general office,
from which hundreds of village and
city newspapers of all political parties
were furnished with one side Of the
paper ready printed. Probably more
than three-fourths of the newspapers
in Wisconsin are made up in this way,
and the same is true of other western
states. But there is another feature of
newspaper publishing with which
many readers are not yet SO familiar.
There are many new-fedged editors
who are not skilled in editorial writing;
these fad it a great convenience to be
furnished with printed slips of editor
ial matter, prepared at some central
point for the class of newspapers who
wish them. 1t sometimes happens
that newspaper editors who use the
furnished editorials are detected.
When an article appears in paper as
original, noticeable for beauty of diction.
elegance of language, and at the same
time it is known the editor possesses
no such gift at writing, it is often found
on examination that it was copied
from one OF thu ready prepared; for
these are the production of experienced
writer's. There is nothing absolutely
wrong in using prepared editorials in
this way, but it is unfair to palm off
on readers what purports to be orig
inal matter, especially if it be superior
in composition to what the conductor
of the journal is capable of writing
himself. AS general rule. it is the
more honorable way to give credit for
all borrowed articles, which are loaded
as editorials. In these modern times
there is no lack of continuance to
help men Co appear learned, orin
other words, to seem what they are
not.

No REASON FOR Qua NGE.

On the 1st day of July, 1865, the Ma
tional debt was $2,756. 431,57l. On the
1st day of July, 1884, it was $1s45O,
|O50,235. Thus. the American people
have in the time paid the interest
promptly and settled 81 ,3O6, 1871 1886 of
the principal, within small amount
of one-half of it. This is the debt
which the Democratic prophets for
told would never be paid. In the
meantime the nation has prospered as
never before, and to-day, thanks to the
Republican party with human slave

BILE land of promise. The enemies Of
the Republican party to-day can not
give any excuse for a change from Re-
publican policy.
Looking at the figures which we have

The Democratic party cannot to-day

What can it say to the young men just

1t is interesting to note the changes
of position in the religious press in re-
lation to Grover Cleveland. When he
was nominated at Chicago it was her
aided through the country that re-
form candidate had been put into field
who would purify the atmosphere of
politics and usher in higher state of
public morals. Many of the leading
religious journals readily took to
Cleveland. These have now fOrsaken
him. The Christian Union, the most
widely circulated and influential of
this class of papers, which accepted
the nomination of Cleveland with a
flourish of trumpets, for the past few
weeks has been gradually forsaking
him, and seems now to have about
given him up. In its last issue it
speaks of Cleveland as follows:
Mr.. Cleveland's letter of acceptance
will disappoint Independents. We
should think it would disappoint most
Democrats The letter leaves the In
dependents without banner or a
leader; they had nothing to hope for
from the Democratic party. Mr..
Cleveland's letter leaves them nothing
to hope for from him"
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1884-09-05

1t cannot be denied that Grover
Cleveland has been badly damaged by
the disclosures in regard to his relation
with women. If this be not so, how
is the retreat from lis support of near
ly all the religious journals in the
country accounted for? The lesson
should be taken as warning by al
public men who are aspiring for office
They should lead lives free from the
faint of gross immoralities. The at
tempt which has been made by some of
the friends of Cleveland to introduce a
false system of morals, civilized COM
munities are not yet ready to endorse.
When the charge is made that Cleve-
land has son born out of Wedlock,
these semi-pious persons reply" Let hin
that is without sin cast the first stone.
Who has not been guilty Of indiscre.
ton ?" Thus they apologize for illegi-
timacy, and virtually say all men are
liable to do as Cleveland has done, and
that his was onl ~ an indiscretion of
little or no account. If sentiments
like these were to be generally accept :
ed, decency in public life would no
longer be virtue. and general de-
moralization of society would follow.

GREAT POLITICAL DISPLAY.
SATURDAY EVENING" RE
PUBLTCANS AND DEMOCRATS
OUT IN FORCE.

0Ol fAH4 II O4tOE
The parade of the two uniform I'd
clubs. Republican and Democratic,
with torches, banners and bands Of
music on Saturday evening last, yer y
n aturally drew great crowds of people
on the streets and to the public halls.
The muddy condition of the roads was
something of drawback. Although
there had been no preconcerted ar
rangements for i]luminati ons of the
houses on the streets through which
the procession passed, yet on soma of
the streets. when it was announced the
Republican procession was coming,
the enthusiastic women quickly placed
all their disposable lights at the win
dows, and such as had banners hung
them out. The spirit of party was
thoroughly diffused among all classes,
old and young; the children earnestly
discussed the merits of the two process
si0ns, and of the two parties. Two
young school girls were heard engaged
in a spirited controversy, something as
follows: " If Blaine is elected, will he
give up the money he has made by
cheating the country?" To which the
other retorted:: If Cleveland is elected,
will he take that boy to the White
Honse" Here the coiloquy ended.
The headquarters of the Republican
speaker for the evening. Ex-Goy.
Falrchild, was at the residence of
Mayor Simmons on Prairie avenue.
To this place the Blaine and Logan
club proc eeded in fine uniform and in
good order, under the lead of Capt.
FrantZ. On the beautiful lawn in
front Of the mansion of the Mayor the
the members of the club went through
several military eVolutions very credit
ably, in view of the short time they
have been under drill. Mayor Sim
mons, Ex-Gov. Fairchild, and Col. j.
H. Howe, President Of the Republican
club, occupying carriage, were es-
corted to Kimball Hall, where full
house awaited their coming The
speaker was introduced to the people
by Col. ]. Fl. Howe, President of the

do justice to the address by an attempt
at brief outline; suffice it to say, it

The Republican procession on last
Saturday evening was large, but far
from being the largest political pro.
cession ever before witnessed in this
city. In the campaign of Lincoln's
first election. on the oath of October,
1860, there occurred the largest process
sion ever before or since seen in Keno
sha. 1t was composed of Republican
organizations, then known as wide
awakes." Many belonging to this order
were present from Wilmot, Salem and
Racine, besides many, not uniformed,
came in from the country, to partici-
pate on the occasion. Hon. John f.
Potter, then candidate for member
of Congress for this district, addressed
a great multitude of people on Market
square. Although the Republican de-
monstration Saturday evening was
large, yetit is safe to predict that be-
fore the first of November next there
Will be seen here a gathering of the
friends of Blaine and Logan exceeding
in number the rally to the support
of Lincoln in this city in 1860. The
people are becoming thoroughly ar GUS
ed to the Importance of the issue.

the congressional delegates from this
county and also from Kenosha Mr.
Caswell will have Jefferson solid, and
the most of Rock, while III. A. Cooper
will have Racine. Rock and Jefferson
have the same number of votes as the
other three counties, so there may be

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment Of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon
: these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows Enthusiastically the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
