GEORGE Cox.-Don't forget that
Geo. g. Cox served his country
bravely during the war, while his
Democratic opponent was at home,
calmy viewing the conflict, at safe
distance. Are not the people pledged
to give preference to the men who
saved the country, in the dispensa-
tion of honers and emoluments?
DoN'T TRADE.-If you are APP
preached to support candidate on
the Democratic ticket in return for
like favor to candidate on the
Republican ticket, don't do it.
There is no candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket not the equal of his OPP
ponent, and nothing is to be gained
bs.swapping.
GEORGE PAULsoN.-While his
Democratic opponent was enjoying
the safety and comforts of home, in
the trying days of the war, George
Paulson was facing the dangers
and enduring the hardships of a
soldier of the Union. Every patri-
otic citizen should have this in mind
when he votes next Tuesday, and,
be sure that Paulson's name is on
his ticket.
THE fall hunting season is now at
its full height and is being enjoyed
to an unusual extent by sportsmen
in killing ducks, squirrels, par
tridges, and other game. It's lots
of fun but mighty expensive busi-
ness. A days hunt counting time,
ammunition, team, etc, costs about
IS a man, and the game he will get
probably being worth 81. But it is
the sport, not the expense, that
hunters take into consideration
BEwARE.-The only hope of the
Democrats in this state is to secure
majority of the Legislature, and
elect Democrat to the u. 5. SEN
ate. They are working especially
to that end. In every assembly dis
trict where they think they have
any chance whatever they are put
ting forth herculean efforts. They
can only succeed by getting Repub-
lican votes for their candidates. We
urgently appeal to the republicans
of Iowa county to be yigilent.
Stick close to your nominees for
assemblymen.
The matched trotting race be-
tween the horses Garfield and Vic
tory, which was to have taken place
last Saturday, but owing to unfavor-
able weather was postponed until
Tuesday of this week, proved to
awake a lively interest among the
lovers Of sport. The first heat was
taken by Garfield, with Victory
close up, but on the break. The
next three heats were captured by
Victory in an apparently easy man
ner. The time of the first heat, 2:56,
we understand to be the fastest.
In the excitement Of the campaign,
locally, we ask that the voters stop
to consider that one of the best con
gressmen this district ever enjoyed,
is a candidate for reelection. If
the farmer, the soldiers and all
classes of Mr.. LaFollette's constit-
uency will recall the proceedings of
