G. Shumway also spoke, and chiefly on
the prohibition question and its danger
to the Republican party, but I think
the vote for st. John will be small In
this town, and the temperance people,
I think, would do well to concentrate
their efforts to the state where they
could sometimes succeed. In my Opin-
ion, there should be more effort to
create public opinion in favor of tenn
perance, and then it would be more
difficult to smuggle beer and whisky

LEGISLATIVE AND COUNTY
TICKET.

We are glad to note the success of the
Republican legislative and all the Re-
publican candidates ON the county
ticket except two. Paddock, for Dis
trict Attorney, beaten by Mahoney,
and Limpert, for Register, beaten by
Pennefeather The figures giving ma
joritles have not been received; the
official will appear next week. Mr.. A.
Patterson, for Member of Assembly,
is elected by over 500 majority; Mr.. E
r. Wilson, for Sheriff, by 800 majority
D. B. Benedict, County Clerk, D. A,
Sovereign, County Surveyor, A. Grant
County Superintendent, are elected by
handsome majorities. Mr.. H. E
Clark is elected by 26 majority; he had
the disadvantage of not being general
ly known in the county, but there was
no better man on the ticket than he.
The Republicans in most of the
country towns did nobly; this cannot
be said of the city. The rural districts
are now, as they always have been il
the past, the hope and political saliva
ton of the county.
| w. s. Maxwell, State Senator, and L
B. Caswell, Congressman, are boil
elected by good majorities.

WISCONSIN, ELECTION.

The returns of the election in this
state indicate majority of 10000 on
the Republican State ticket. This is
considerably less than at the last state
election, which is accounted for by the
prohibition voters, who professed TO
vote for principle, which results in
helping the liquor interest.
Of the State Senators elected on
Tuesday last, thirteen are Republicans
and four Democrats. These, added to
those who hold over, will make the
next Senate stand: Republicans, 20;
Democrats, 10. The next Assembly
will stand: Republicans, So; Demo.
Gratis, 80. The election of Republican
U. S. Senator is assured in the place OF
Cameron. The Republicans gain foul
congressman. The next congressional
representation from this state vii
stand nine Republicans to two Demo

where lay the dead body of the much
loved orator and statesman. 1t was in
time Of peace, and the capital was uns
used to such shocks, and therefore men
talked in whispers when all was over
with Henry Clay.
He was buried in the Congressional
cemetery, and a monument was placed
upon the spot, but there is nothing I'M
der it. Strangely enough for all the
many years Clay had passed in Wash
ington, his wife had never visited that
city. Once he had started to take his
daughter to reside there during the ses-
sion, but she died on the way. Mrs.
Clay always remained at their Kentucky
plantation at Ashland, and managed
the estate while her husband devoted
himself to national affairs.
His body was disinterred from the
Congressional cemetery and taken back
to his old kentucky home. 1t was taken
by the Baltimore and Ohio to Cum
berland, as far as the railroad was then
completed, and from thence to hearse
by the old National road to the Ohio
river. Ceremonial obsequies were held
for Henry Clay in all the cities of the
country"

NEW POLITICAL PARTY.

Considerable has been said through
the press in respect to the necessity of
new national party; and the princi-
pies of such a party some have under.
taken to outline. 1t is true there are
interests of primary Importance, which
ought to be prominently presented to
the people, and incorporated into a
national platform; but we must be
permitted say at the very outset the
formation ofanew party with any pros
pect Of success at this time is wholly
impracticable, Every attempt to
organize a new national party during
the past half century has been fail
nre. The Republican party is new
one in name, but old in principles; it
was an outgrowth of the anti-slavery
party and not differing from it in
principles. Since the organization Of
the Republican party, half dozen
parties have sprung up, assuming to
be national, but none of them ever be-
came important factors in the politics

SEMI WEAKNESS OF SOME RE.
PUBLICANS.

An extraordinary instance of feeble
minded Republicanism was the sud-
den scare iii this city and elsewhere
created by an indiscreet utterance OF
a minister 10y the name of Burchard
one of large number of clergymen
who called on Mr.. Blaine in Brooklyn.
last week, Friday. Rev., Burchard
who is said not to be Over-discreet, adj
dressed Mr.. Blaine in a short speech
in which he characterized the Demo.
Gratis as the party of "rum, Romanism
and rebellion" 1t does not appear
that a single other clergyman present
approved of this Objectionable lang
uage. Rev. Burchard was subsequent
ly reminded that his words were often
slve. and at once caused a card to be
published in the city papers denying
that he intended disrsspect to the
Catholic church. On Saturday, Mr..
Blaine, at New Haven, on having his
attention called to the matter, express
ed regret at the indiscreet words of
Rev. Burchard, and declared his re-
spect for all religionists alike, whether
Protestant, Catholic or Jew. All who
know any thing of the history of Mr..
Blaine must admit that lie has during
his public life always acted in accord
ance with that declaration.
Now it would seem that level headed
men should have been satisfied that
not particle of responsibility attach
ed to Blaine in this matter; but not
SO; there was furore of excitement.

a PIONEER "REMINISCENCES.
A DASH THROUGH A PRAIRIE FIRE BY A
BADGER SETTLER OF 1886.

OADJEh Ot 1000.
Written for Gathering of Old Settlers.l
I came to Wisconsin in the fall of
1886, stopping at Pike River. My father
and brothers came in June and located
about q mile south of the present village
of Union Grove, in Racine county. Our
goods were to come by the lake-arriving
on the 10th of December. On the after
noon of that day started on horseback
to inform them of their arrival. When
/ reached what was then called Wood
bridges tavern, near where Mr.. w. S.
Maxwell now lives, met Messrs. VIM.
Bullen and E. r. Hugunin coming in
from the West. They told me the prair-
les were on fire, and it might be well to
keep sharp lookout but as | was on
a good and smart horse had no fears,
thinking there could be no trouble in
keeping out of the way of any running
fire. | had never seen prairie fire, but
did see and feel one soon after. The
roads then were simple wagon tracks
across the prairie by just beating down
the grass, generally taking the most di-
rect co lrse for some settlement as ours
was the only settlement between the
Milwaukee road and the Fox River, now
Burlington, the road or track was nearly
direct. I had got about halfway when
I found the fire was going to cut me off
on the road ! was then on so turned,
intending to strike one about a mile
north, but soon found that also was cut
off. 1t was now just about shutdown,
and could see the fire leaping ahead
at terrible rate, and I thought of turn
ing back, but when [ looked back the
chances were no better. found my
self within a sharp crescent and fast
closing circle of fire, leaping and running
and cracking at a desperate rate. Ibe-
gan to feel little anxiety. The smoke,
too, was beginning to reach me, although
the fire was running very near as fast as
the wind for somehow those fires seem
to blow their own bellows and manage
to keepup superb blast, too. noticed
that the fire blaze was only a thin sheet
and that when it had passed it was not
bad so without waiting to count the
chances I determined to charge through
the sheet of fire. So said to my horse
Dick, we must go through" Dick was
an intelligent horse, and seemed to I'M
derstand, and we started on the run
When we struck the sheet, for an instant
our breath was gone, but it was only fol
moment, the flame was passed and We
could breathe, though we were in some
smoke. We were not burned to any
amount, simply singed rather closely
We were in the road, which was ever
more plain than before the fire, as those
racing fires seldom stop to take the grass
that has been trampled down by travel
and We made our way without further
trouble.

T'HURSDAY NIGHT LAST WEEK

.
Our paper went to press last week
on Thursday night, so that only a
short mention Of the great Republican
demonstration on that evening in this
city was given. Although an event of
the past, and the election over, it is de-
serving of larger notice than is now
given it. Suffice it to say, the display
exceeded by far anything of the kind
ever witnessed in this part of the state
About nine hundred came from Racine
on the train, of which number seven
hundred belonged to the organized
clubs. A great crowd of people were
at the KenOsha depot to welcome their
arrival. They were escorted into the
city by the Kenosha marching and
cavalry companies, who were out in
full force. The streets of the city were
illumined with a blaze of light, and
many of the porticoes of the houses
were gaily decorated, Chinese Ian
terms Of various colors adorned the
front yards, and rockets and other fire.

1HE LATEsT FROM NEW YORK.

From Sentinel this morning, Friday, Nov.7)
No two of the New York newspa-
pers give the same figures. They can.
not, therefore, be accurate, and will
not be accepted as final. The latest
bulletins by the Associated Press in
dictate a majority for Cleveland, but
the New York Tribune at 2 A. M. says
that, with twelve precincts to hear
from, Blaine has majority of 844
and probably 1867 when the returns
are all in.

A SINGULAR V07Y8G PEOPLE,

n ~ HU CLdh HOLIhU ~ VI DD .
There are in this city. state and
United States a phenomenal kind of
voters; they express an intense hatred
of England, and are greatly exercised
when any one praises that country
and it's government. But when a gen.
eral election comes these same haters
of England rush to the polls and vote
for England's policy. They know that
English policy has crippled the indus
tries of their own native land and that
it has oppressed their countrymen, yet
they cling to England by voting for
the party which England endorses and
a large majority of the leaders of it
are known to be in favor of British
free trade.

The jaunting car is tMo-wheel
open vehicle, peculiar to ireland. It
will accommodate six persons besides
the driver, who sits directly inrear
OF the horse on q shallow box for lug
gage. The seats are two and hold
three persons each, and are over the
wheels and cover them entirely
Your side is to the front, and your
face to the fields or country, and your
feet rest on a foot-board Just below
the hub of the vehicle. There Is
nothing to hold to save the low sides
of the luggage box, to use which you
must turn slightly to the right or left.
They certainly are not Intended for
racing charriots, nor suited to uneven
or rough roads. Touching roads
such thing as bad road is not
known in Ireland, England or Scot
land, nor-in Western. Europe any
where. Between Coleraine and the
Giants Causeway, a distance Of fifteen
miles, travelled in a iaunting car,
with nothing but a lap cover aud an
umbrella for protection. And though
the day was bright, in the main, got
we'll acquainted with lively, sleeting
and cold rain of the north of Ireland.
1 did not get wet, however. On my
way back to Coleraine l saw. men with
long handle scrapers and heavy Scrub
brooms made of heather, cleaning the
roads of the slush caused by the rain,
so that soon after rain they are as
free from mud as they are just before.
The roads are macadamized with the
hard igneous rocks of the country
Often they have curbs to them, and
inside of the curb there is raised
foot-walk. The jaunting car is the
very thing for observation. In ono.
you must look at the country whether
you will or not. The road TO the race
course lay along the harbor or Dublin,
bay, with its miles of breakwater cut
to near the base of the Hill of Howth.
There was no ship in sight except one
outside the dyke, and that was foun-
dercd. Inside the breakwater all was
mud. Whether the tide had risen
and things were changed when We
were returning to the city, 1 could not
say, for was so taken up with the
cabbies' race, and so intent on obey
ing the injunction of my driver at the
start to hold fast, that for my life L
could not have sworn that the break
water, the foundered ship, the Hill of
Howth, or what not, had not all been
washed away since morning, for in
deed L saw nothing in the melee and
whirlwind of the race but jaunting
cars. horses, shouting drivers and
clouds of dust.
