Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1884-05-02

The Madison Democrat is the
leading democratic newspaper Of the
state. 1t fearlessly advocates true
democratic doctrines, and its edi-
torials are always able and vigorous.
The Daily Democrat should be in
the hands of every citizen who de-
sires to keep thoroughly posted in
political matters. The paper is a
staunch advocate of tariff reform,
and is doing a grand work in expos
ing the fallacies of those who hold
to the doctrine Of protection, So
called. What we need in our pres
ent political condition is more
newspapers like the Madison Demo
crat-newspapers that are not mere
party organs, but fearless advocates
Of principles and purposes which
they believe to be right. The
Democrat is always ready and able
to give a reason for the faith that is
in it, and to honestly and fairly con-
tend for that faith

Democratic state Convention.

convention of the democratic party of the
state of Wisconsin is hereby called 10 assemble
at Madison, on Wednesday, the 18th of May,
1884, at - O'Clock, noon, for the purpose of
electing twenty-five delegates - four from the
state at large and two from each congressional
districts, with alternates to the national demo-
cratic convention at Chicago, on the sth day OF
July 1884, to place in nomination eleven presiden-
tiaI electors to be supported at the next general
election; to appoint state central committee,
and to transact such other business as may prop
erly come before the convention. All democratic
and other citizens Of Wisconsin who can unite in
an effort for pure, economical and constitutional
government, and those who believe that sub
stantiaI reduction Of existing tariff duties is
demanded, not only as measure of justice to
consumers. but one conclusive to the general
industrial prosperity, are invited TO join in cleo
ting delegates TO this convention. Each senate

the members who gave Mr.. Knight
his appointment. They were prob
ably imposed upon by his boast
ing like a Jack Falstaff thas he
brought about every favorable con-
dition which contributed to the
election of a democratic member
from this district. Nor we do wish
to take up the cause of any unsuc-
cessful aspirant for official position.
We believe that it is better to settle
grievances in the party before the
campaign opens than leave them to
be settled by dissatisfied voters at
the ballot-box in November. We
therefore recommend the election of
a new chairman of the congressional
committee. For SO doggedly de-
manding an appointment in return
for his services, and greatly embar-
rising our representative by SO doing,
Mr.. Knight justly merits such a
rebuke. Let it be administered and
it will give the voters OF the district
to understand that democratic sue
cess next fall does not mean the
selection of professional office seekers
to fill positions in the gift Of the
party. We warn the party that il
Mr.. Knight is continued as chair
man he will prove the old man Of
the sea to our ticket.

The Milwaukee Journal truly
says: "Our agricultural, manufac-
turing and commercial interests can
ask for no better protection than
the abolition OF the so-called pro-
tectiven taxes These are sapping
the life-blooI Of the country's in
dustries and wickedly enriching a
few monopolists at the expense of
the great mass of the people"

The unsettled condition of Mex
lean politics, just now, a revolution
being threatened on account chiefly
OF the exactions made by the
Government, makes a sketch of the
President, to whom his enemies
ascribe the difficulty, opportune.
Mexico is short of money for the use
of the Government, and is reported
to be anxious to borrow 100000
at the present time. Two years
ago, under similar pressure, Congress
passed law granting the President
extraordinary powers. In the pur-
suance Of this law, President Con
zales recently issued a stamp decree,
thereby creating the present compli-
cation, which is more disastrous to
business than the previous financial
stringency.
General Gonzales has been Presi-
dent of Mexico since December /,
1880. He was born about fifty years
ago, at Matamoras, state of Tam
aulipas, Mexico. Preferring milit-
airy life, he joined the army as a
soldier, and rose rapidly in his pro-
fession. He served with distinction
against the French in 1864, as
Colonel of regiment, and lost an
arm while defending the fortress of
San Marca against the invaders. In
1876 he was created d Major-Gener-
al, and held office as Secretary of
War during the administration of
President Diaz, whom he succeeded
as the result of a revolution.
Under President Gonzales's adj
ministration, Mexico has made rapid
advances in material prosperity
and civilization. He has a fine
presence, is not tall in stature, but
well built and of sturdy physique.
Estimates of his character vary
greatly.

ALL THAT clusters IS NOT GOLD.

The American Register, published
at Washington, has been trying to
pass itself off as a true and faithful
exponent of democratic principles,
but : does not seem to be much of
a democratic journal after all. Its
true inwardness is thus given in
dispatch from Washington, dated
April q:
BARLEY, editor and proprietor of the American
Register, against Zephaniah S. Spalding Tor
s. 500 damages. The defendant is described as
being sugar planter in the Hawaiian Islands,
interested to the extent of $1,000 per annum in
that industry and in the preservation OF the
reciprocity treaty with this country, the re-
cessIon OF which was threatened during the
forty-seyenth congress. His agent, Rufus ?.
Spalding, is represented as having made
proposition 70 the plaintiff TO advance Sle,et9
TO maintain the Register, ION condition it should
maintain the treaty and repel the attacks made
upon it" Of this, 50, 900 was advanced at the
time, BARLEY giving his note for year at per
was rescinded. In December, 1882, the other
s., 600 was paid under similar conditions. This
was all absorbed, and in 1888 Barley asked for
another s5,Gt0, and not receiving II, continued
st great cost of labor and money TO publish the
paper, succeeding in preventing the dreaded
action against the treaty. Spalding finally
sumed charge of the paper. advancing S2500,
for which he took Barley's notes, TO continue
the publication The course of the paper under
this arrangement completely destroyed its val
Ne, which the plaintiff places at S2O,GG0, and
the other s., 100 is the value of his personal sery
ices in behalf of the treaty. Spalding had pre-
viously entered suit on the notes mentioned.
The tariff plank in the Ohio dem
ocratic platform was copied verba-
tim from the columns of the Reg
lister, and was written by Judge
Thomas W. BARLEY, the subsidized
editor. Comment is unnecessary.
