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. 7. Price, Republican candidate
Tor reelection to congress, addresseda small
meeting Of citizens, mostly Democrats, here
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-
wing 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 and 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 ii did many Republi-
cans, and the result Of the election on Tues.
day will show a handsome majority for his
competitor, Judge l.. X. 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 were presented in such plain
light 10 his cOuntrymen, the Scandinayians
that, although Republicans heretofore, large
number OF them will 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. II
has heretofore given a Republican majority,
but this year will without doubt give more
than half its votes To Bracklin, for Mr.. Brack-
/ lin is a good, solid, OF hand square bust
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
| force, ability or influence, man that no one
can honestly say from his appearance would
have any weight or 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
| prising the above named counties with thu
counties of Polk and St. CroiX added, tn,
candidate is Mr.. Reuben F Little, Of Rich
ardson, Polk county. He is good, solid
level headed farmer and business man anC
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 wounde,
five times. Mr.. Little is making an activ,
canvass, and as he is greatly respected an,
favorably known in the district he viii p,
doubt be elected. His opponent is Mr.. Joe
F. Mason, receiver of the U. 5. land office q
st. Croix Falls who is well fixed officially al
ready, and is making no canvass-iu fact,
is said, he did not seek the nomination an,
does not care TO be elected.
For county ticket here our people are NOR
liberal than on national and state mZtters
They go in for eleeting the best men re
