PRESIDENT CLEvEIAND's last batch Of
vetoes shows again his utter inability to
comprehend the fact that the action of
congress in giving pensions in special
cases which the general law does lot
cover, is perfectly legitimate and with
in the scope of its proper powers. He
has q sort of hazy notion that the general
law is something more than an ordinary
enactment Of congress, and fails to COM
prehend that the same congress which
passed the general law has also power to
pass special laws to cover meritorious
cases which it did not provide for. But
this perhaps is all that ought reasonably
to be expected of man who had lived
to be forty years old before being heard
of beyond the limits of his own city, and
who was selected as a presidential candi-
date for the reason that he had never
done or said anything and therefore
nothing could be said against him.

THE BRAGG AND DELANEY CONTEST.
state ticket.

Below will be found the celebrated and
much talked of Beaver Dam Treaty made
between Bragg and Delaney in 1884.
This whole business is one Of the most
disgraceful transactions connected with
politics in our state, and both the primo.
pals to it, Gen. Bragg and United States
Attorney Delaney, deserve to be retired
to political oblivion for becoming instru-
ments in baftering away the elective
rights and privileges of the people of the
Second Congressional district in the man.
ner outlined in this treaty. Still, on the
principle of "honor among thieves" it
would appear that Gen. Bragg violates
his political honor by not standing by
this agreement. Nothing worthy of the
name of proof has been brought forward
showing that Mr.. Delaney, in accepting
the district attorneyship, did SO with the
understanding that he would not be in
Gen. Bragg's way for the nomination for
congress in 1886. Under all the circum
stances the Second District can make a
better choice than either Bragg or De-
laney, and by new man being nom
mated a purer aud better condition of
politics can be maintained and reSuke
administered to those who would reduce
our political system to very low and
disgusting plane. The treaty" is as
follows:
We, the undersigned delegates repre-.
senting the county of Fond du Lac in the
Democratic Congressional convention for
the Second Congressional district of Wis
consin, now in session at Beaver Dam,
Wis, do hereby pledge ourselves that in
case of the nomination of Gen. Edward
S. Bragg by said convention, the delega-
ton from Fond du Lac county IN 1886
shall support as unit A. K. Delaney, of
Dodge county, or any man said Dodge
county may name for congress, and that
in the event of the election of said Ed.
S. Bragg to the United States senate by
the legislature of the state for 1885, there.
by creating vacancy in the house of
representatives from said district, we
pledge ourselves that the delegation from
Fond du Lac county will support said A.
K. Delaney or any man the delegation
from Dodge county may name for the
vacancy thus created from said district in
the house of representatives, and we will
in either event above named use our ut
most endeavors to secure the nomination
of said A. K. Delaney, or any man Dodge
county may name for congress.

when the $500 Republicans with their
votes in this county were essential to
Republican success in the election of
state ticket. Let them then be treated
fairly. They do not ask to be paid for
their party fealty. They are Republicans
from principle and conviction and always
wheel into line and do their full duty to
the best of their ability. They will sup
port earnestly and faithfully the nominee
of the Elkhorn convention, whoever he
may be, but they desire to have it &C
knowledged that they stand on equal
footing, at least, with the:other counties
in the district This point is so well
taken, and IFS reasona bleness so apparent,
that one cannot but think that those who
maintain to the contrary do so in spirit
of narrow-mipdedness and unfairness.

AS TO CONGRESSMAN.

In some parts of this congressional dis
trict considerable stress is laid upon the
fact that Jefferson County has had re-
preventative in congress for the last ten
years, and therefore the claim is made
that the nomination should now go else
where. It is true that Mr.. Csswell has
served ten years in Congress, and 1t is
gratifying to know that those who favor
his retirement can find no other nor
stronger argument. than this to use against
him. His faithfulness and ability are
everywhere conceded. But in this con-
nection it is pertinent to enquire what
has been the status of other counties in
the district. Have they been entirely
neglected, and have they just cause for
complaint that they have not been equally
we'll served? Let us see. Rock County
had for sixteen years a member of Con-
gress. and has now Judge Cassoday upon
the bench ofthe Supreme Court Racine
had a United States Senator for II years,
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton seven years, has now Judge Dyer of
the United States District Court, who has
held the position for eleven years, and is
appointed for life, and it has also Judge
of the Supreme Court, Hon. W. P. Lyon.
who has been on the bench the past fif-
teen years. Kenosha county had a
United states Senator for six years,
Lieutenant Governor two years, also
James 81. Howe, United States District
Judge for during life had he not chosen
to resign his Office, and has had for the
the last five years the Secretary of State.
Walworth County had the Lieutenant
Governor for nine years and member of
Congress for six years.
It thus appears that this county has
not had an undue share of official honors.
But the point is made that Jefferson
County is Democratic and therefore the in.
ference and is that she has no rights which
Republican counties are bound to res
pect. We are afraid our friends in Racine
and Walworth. who indulge in this kind
of talk, do not fully appreciate the dis
advantage that Republicans labor under
in such a county as this. The Republi
cans of those counties may not know it,
but it costs something of time, labor and
money to maintain party organization
in localities hopelessly buried by. an ad-
verse majority. Is it good policy and good
politics to carry into effect the doctrine
now sought to be enforced SO far as the
Republicans of Jefferson are concerned?
T vice during the candidacy of Mr.. Cas-
well for Congress in the old Second Dis
trict he saved the party from defeat, and
he did it, too, by his personal popularity,
which enabled him to run largely ahead
of his ticket. Had the nominee lived in
any other county, or had Jefferson given
its usual Democratic majority, or the same
that it gave the rest of the Democratic
ticket, the district would have been lost,
nd once lost it might not have been re-
claimed for years. The time has been
