To the Voters Of Grant County.

As you are about to determine at the
ballot-box who shall serve you officially
during the next two years, it seems
proper at this time that any qualified to
do so should present the merits of can
didates well known to them, that an
intelligent conclusion may be reached.
With this end in veiw, the name of the
soldier farmer, John Dolphin, who is
chosen to lead the Republican ticket as
sheriff, is confidently called to your
favorable consideration, believing he
possesses all the desirable qualities,
whose claims upon your suffrage are
superior, and judged from loyal, patri-
otto standpoint, none can question his
fitness. MIR. Dolphin enlisted August
10, 1861, when yetla boy, in the ''Lancas-
ter Union Guards upon whose banner,
presented by the Union-loving ladies of
Lancaster, was inscribed: eve are
called, we have come, and we pledge
our lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor" Following Co. E., 7th Regt..
Wis. Vols, (Which it soon became) and
the honorable record of the famous
'Iron Brigade, which it so gallantly
helped to make, you will learn that
many of those brave boys kept that
pledge with their lives upon some of
the most closely contested and bloodiest
battlefields known in the history of the
world. Others in hospitals, sickened,
suffered and died, while the records of
Andersonville. whose foul domain is
now consecrated by patriot dust, bears
on its list and beneath its sod, but few
thank God, yet all too many. of those
heroes, who with stout hearts, strong
arms and buoyant steps, went forth TO
battle for the nations life. Among the
few who returned after three years of
honorable service, is Mr.. Dolphin. and
although his bravery is attested by the
scars he bears of rebel bullets, he is
still the peer physically, as he is intel
lectually and morally, of any named
for the important Office of sheriff. Com
pare this record with that of his princi-
pal opponent, Mr.. Grimm, the Demo
cratic nominee, and then "choose ye
between the two" CoMRhDE.

proceeded to make inquiries regarding
the treasurership, from which deduce
the following: On assuming the treas
uresship Mr.. Mcmahon gave bonds in
the sum of $4,000 for the faithful per-
Torrance of his duties, and to turn over
to his successor all books and papers
connected with the office. Grant County
is thus guarded against the remote con-
tingency of dishonesty on the part of
her treasurer, for his bondsmen have
agreed to make good any loss the county
may thus suffer. But were the court
house, together with the contents of the
treasurers office, destroyed by fire or
other unforeseen events, this bond would
not replace those books, for the law re-
quires no person to perform an impossi-
bility. Grant County has no safe de-
pository for her funds. The fact that
there were 400 depositors in Hodges
defunct bank at Platteville proves con-
clusively that it was considered safe
and sound. Money was not deposited
in this bank by Mcmahon, but by town
treasurers living in the vicinity of
Platteyille, as had been the custom for
a score of years. Every precaution
was taken that any business man could
exercise; and this being proved beyond
a doubt, neither McMahon nor his
bondsmen are legally accountable to
Grant County for this money, as any
attorney win say if asked, and as was
admitted by the county board at its last
session. An official bond is not an in
surance policy
These circumstances all being taken
into consideration, certainly Mr. Nc
Mahon fills the Jeffersonian test-he is
honest, he is capable. he is efficient. 1t
seems the hight of folly to exchange
him for lawyer God save the mark
who is never heard of in legal circles
except through his egregious blunders
which have made him the laughing
stock of Grant County; who is an apos-
tate from the religious faith of his
fathers, and who has for twenty years
lampooned the priesthood and all re-
ligisus rites; who wants to be treasurer
because the little bank at Bloomington
needs more money, public or private,
with which to shave notes or to loan at
two per cent. month. The voters CT
Grant should sit violently down upon
Paddys brazen assumption.

Ideal Women.

The women of fiction form, perhaps,
the most delightful ideal possession of
the civilized races of the world. Inven4
ton, based upon imitation. has produc-
ed true and lovely images of the fairest
and sweetest creatures that make the
earth divine. To few men it is given to
know and meet in actual life women
who rise TO the altitude of worth and
charm of the women of the poets, and
it is pre-eminently the happy task of the
poet to embody for US, IN suggestions of
deathless loneliness, beings who answer
to the highest conceptions that man
can form of beauty, of tenderness, of
purity and of nobleness. In the magic
mirror of the poets Imagination are fix
ed to permanence the images of the
fairest and dearest of Gods feminine
creatures. He who, protesting a high
ideal of womanhood can yet never find
an ideal love, may in Imagination be
welded to Imogen or Di Vernon. The
greatest poet, who ''wears the crown of
the world" Shakespeare, is the greatest
creator of ideal women. The true ideal
is always based upon the real; and
Shakspeare's women are so ideal be-
cause his idea is always based upon liv-
ing types of abstract truth. His women
are what they are, because womanhood
is, at its best, what it is. Imogen, Des-
demona, Rosalind, Portia are Hottest
creatures, and yet are all possible wo-
men. Another mighty poet has given
us Gretchen and Clarchen. Impossible,
in such limited space as we can here
command, to enumerate or even allude
to all the fair women painted by noble
poets. The large and lovely constella-
ton of sweet, good women shines
majestieally before our enraptured Wis
ions. stirs our ceaseless gratitude and
awakens our wondering admiration.
They excite the fancy and touch the
heart They animate Us to noble life
and they move us with the high delight
of fair images of honorable love- GEN.

Hidden Gold.


''The carpet is DID," they said; sit is worth
less, and worn, and gray;
We will have il taken up, and new one
put down to-day.
Old things should be reverenced, no doubt,
but only when owning some grace
Which this old carpet does not, and new
one shall take its place"
So they went to work, as they said, at the
carpet, worn and gray,
That had covered the office floor of the mint
for many day;
But now it was worthless, they said worth
less and worn, and so
A new one should take its place, aud this
old thing should go.
When, lol as they took it up and shook out
each dusty fold,
The whole OF the floor beneath it was cover
ed with shining goldl
For years and years it had gathered the
crumbs of a mighty wealth
Caught by the heavy carpet, hid in its folds
by stealth.
They gathered the shining fragments, Gift
ing the gold from the dust,
A precious harvest truly, pure and I'M
touched by rust;
And the carpet they folded away, smiling to
think that they
Had called it worthless and graceless only
that very day
ALL what lesson lies hidden IN the folds of
the carpet gray
A lesson we meet in life constantly, day
after day:
II we would but look for the good, ere con-
demning it worthless and old,
We would gather many fragment or per-
feet, untarnished gold

! EDITOR HERALD:-Your correspond
ent was scarcely aware that the cam
paign in Grant County was becoming
torrid until few days ago. When out
hunting | noticed coming down the
road a dilapitated skeleton buggy,
drawn by an ancient-looking horse that
might have belonged to Uncle Sam
cavalry, when JEFF Davis was stationed
at Fort Crawford. As this strange
combination approached and obtained
view of the driver, my mind conceived
a cross between Johann Most, the re-
tired anarchist, and j. Iscariot, former

dered whether the former had escaped
from Sing Sing and the latter from

ton in some chemists laboratory.

lay in instantaneous flight or in climb

distant thunder, I'm the Democratic
candidate for treasurer, and / want
your vote"
Finding that it was only my vote in
stead of my reputation that he sought,
| recovered courage, summoned all my
fortitude, and regarded this eccen-
tricity-this freak as it 'were-with
wonder rather than with fear. "Who
are YOU" | askede I'm the Demo-
cratic candidate for county treasurer,

Prohibitionist," replied. That's no
difference; didn't you hear about that

ton. Had he gone clean daft or had
the boys been treating again? Before
/ could reach conclusion on this point
he said he had conclusive proof of his
last statement in the buggy, which he
would get. As | glanced through the
fence a moment later, saw my Demo-
cratic-Plohibition freak emptying the
contents of bottle into his throat, and
when he again lowered his head his
breath smelled like limburger-cheese
mine. Discovering that my freak was
fraud, ordered him from my virtu-

how unjust the present distribution is
to the farmer and manufacturer, as
compared to the capitalist-being, in
