Political Outlook AZ Superior.

Special Correspondence Of the Globe.
SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct. 31.-The campaign |
is being pushed at Superior with much !
spirit The Democrats are especially active |
in holding meetings, at which local speakers !
dwell with much effect upon the good treat
ment Superior received from Democratic
administration before the war, and the poor
treatment she has always received since the
Republicans came into power.
Hon. Vim. I. Price, Republican candidate
for reelection to congress, addressed a small
meeting of citizens, mostly Democrats, heee
last week. He stated at the outset that he
knew nothing about the tariff question, that
he was unable to grasp it, and then spent
an hour in a vain effort to show the holy
workingman where he was benefited by the
present robbery of tariff taxation.
He waved the bloody shirt aloft, after the
manner of all good Republican stump ora
tors who charge the southern people with dis
loyalty in stirring up sectional strife, and re-
viving the issues settled by the war-the
very thing these stump speakers are them
selves doing in trying to raise an antagonism
between the people of the north aud the peo-
pie of the south. Mana Democrats, before
hearing Mr.. Prices speech, were intending
TO vote for him, but his speech drove them
far away from him, AS it did many RepubH-
cans, and the result Of the election on Tues
day will show handsome majority for his
competitor, Judge L. r. Larson, of Eau
Claire.
! Judge Larson spoke here, and made an
excellent impression among people of all
parties. His arguments in behalf of good
| government we're presented in such plain
| light to his countrymen, the Scandinavians
/ that, although Republicans heretofore, large
number Of them viii this year vote for Judge
/ Larson for congress, and probably for the
/ entire Democratic ticket.
The Democratic candidate for state assem-
| bly, in this district is Mr.. James Bracklin, of
Rice Lake, Barron county. The assembly
district comprises the counties of Douglas,
BAYFIELD,, Sawyer Barron and Burnett. IT
has heretofore given a Republican majority,
but this year will without doubt give more
than half its votes TO Bracklin, for Mr.. Bracll-
lin is q good, solid, of hand, square BUSH
ness man, of hard, common sense, a man
that one could tie TO and rely upon, while
his republican opponent, Charles s. TAYLOR,
is clever gentleman, though his close
friends say he is possessed of no particular
force, ability or influence, q Qldn tnat no one
can honestly say from his appearance would
have any weight OF reflect any credit upon
the district He will be elected, as he should
be, on Tuesday next-to stay at home.
For state senator, for the district com
prisng the above named counties with tie
counties of Polk aud ST. Croix added, The
candidate is Mr.. Reuben F. Little, OF Rich
ardson, Polk county. He is a good, solid
level headed farmer and business man AND
a strong Democrat, who made successful
soldier during the war, taking part in man,
of the leading battles during over four year
OF hard service, in which he was wounded
five times. Mr.. Little is making an acliv
canvass, and as he is greatly respected an,
favorahly known in the district he viii u,
doubt be elected. His opponent is Mr.. Joe
F. Mason, receiver of the U. S. land Office Q
St Croix Falls who is well fixed officially al
5 ready, and is making no canvass-in fact,
is said, he did not seek the nomination Az
. does not care to be elected.
D For county ticket here our people are MOI
: liberal than on national and state matter.
They go in for electing the best men r,
gardless of party
