1T may be that Postmaster General
Villas is wronged by the suspicious that
Bragg's defeat is due to Mr.. Vilas's in
reference. But Delaney must have had
his promises Endorsed by some one
whose guaranty was worth its face value.
Waukesha sent delegates opposed to
Bragg and Delaney, pledged to vote
against both and to use all honorable
means to secure the nomination of a
third man. But three of them refused
to support third man when the vote of
any one of them would have nominated
him. They disregarded their instruc-
tons, violated their pledges and for what?
There is the question, and MIR. Villas will
be watched closely to see whether the
answer comes from him. If it should.
there are democrats enough left in the
state whom the fieshpots have not tempt
ed, to successfully wage war against a
mans ambitious projects. when that man
takes counsel with his envy and signal
ICES his elevation by politically murder
ing a man ADLER than himself.
General Bragg belonged to no clique.
He would not be tool. and his aggres-
siveness made him an undesirable mem
Der of any political syndicate. The
politicians are all down on him and are
delighted at his defeat. Bragg is bad
man in whom to have power wrapped up
when the syndicate contemplates move
in the interest of one or more of its mem.
bers. He is in the way on such occa-
sions. With Delaney it is different. He
is par excellence ringster. He can
always be relied upon to aid fellow
ringster, expecting a like favor in return.
Aud he has behind him county which
is the delight of political boss.
Bragg is in Vilas's way, more SO now
than if he were successful at Waukesha.

man whose defeat, it is suspected, comes
through the power of the administration
If Villas endorsed Delaney's promises
then it is simply for the people to decide
whether national democratic victory
shall have no fruit other than to make
federal offices a means of purchasing
nominations for political feudatory
The Waukesha convention will cause at
| tention to be directed toward the Wau-
kesha postoffice. Let Mr.. Villas appoint
Carroll and he will earn himself sere-

LARGE SALES IN DULL TIMES.
Our reporter was surprised to learn
from a member Of the Rand & Roemer
Hardware Co., that their spring trade
had been largely in excess of that of last
year-surprised because so much has
been heard in this vicinity about s'dulI
mes" largely accounted for by the low
prices paid for farm produce upon which
so much of the trade of this city depends.
Further inquiry elected the fact that the
increased sales were not so much on &C
count of increased consumption, but
that the extremely low prices at which
goods had been sold was the inducement
to purchase. To illustrate this a few
sample quotations are given, and any
one at all acquainted with the trade will
readily see that they are ''away down."
Nails, per keg, ST. rates.
Boiled Linseed Oil per gal. SO
st. Louis Lead 100 CTS
Steel Shoyels, each 40
Field and Garden Hoes .25
Three tined Hay Forks .25
The above are prices for first class
.gOOds-no seconds" and our reporter
was assured that all other articles of their
immense stock were offered at proportion
ately low prices. Such figures are bound
to make sales, and the Rand & Roemer
Harware Co., is prepared to meet all
demands for goods at those prices, and
shrewd buyers will avail themselves of
the opportunity.

The ticket nominated by the demo-
Gratis is in all respects an excellent one.
The nominee for governor is one of the
most popular men in the western part of
the state where he is known; not popu-
in the sense in which it is generally used
as result of counting favor, but popular
because of his worth, scholarship and
character.
The ticket throughout is such one as
merits praise without appealing to parti
sanship. The little cloud which Bouck' S
declination caused to rise will quickly
vanish and then the ticket will receive
the enthusiasm due its merits.

The Irish members of parliament are
acting somewhat obstreperously and may
carry the policy of obstruction to such
an extent as to ALLEVIATE the good will of
the Gladstone liberals. The tories take
the matter quite cody aud, it is thought,
wish to encourage the nationalists to the
extreme of obstruction so as to secure
the adoption of some stringent rule
against dilatory tactics. Parnell is not
at present in parliament There are but
few liberals while the tories are always
present in force. The government counts
upon defeating Parnell's bill for the re-
lief of Irish tenants.

LII is the duty of every democrat in the
state to watch the outcome of the scram.
BILE for the Waukesha postoffice. II
Carroll succeeds, then is the proof con-
elusive that Villas bargained off the post
office to defeat Bragg, rival whom he
fears. 1t is far better that the republican
party be restored to power than that
such shameful bargaining be allowed to
corrupt the democracy. If Postmaster
General Villas dares to acknowledge that
he is an ally of the Dodge county gang,
by appointing Carroll to the Waukesha
postoffice, then is it the duty of every
democrat in the state to express disap-
proval in no uncertain way. Mr.. Villas,
show your hand by your action in the
disposition of the Wsukesha postofice.

The railroads in Wisconsin have been
on their good behavior ever since the
Potter law was passed and declared con-
stitutional. Strikes have been of rare
occurrence and there has been but little
friction between shippers and the carriers.
This was one good thing resulting from
the democratic victory in 1873. If the
democratic party could only place on the
statute books the resolution adopted at
the convention holding railroads respon-
sible for injury done employees through
the negligence of co-employes, it would
have the credit of creating very desirable
railroad legislation.

Mr.. Black did his duty fearlessly as fore
man of the grand jury which indicted
the anarchists. 1t was no easy thing to

anarchists as justification of their course
and 1t will be difficult thing hereafter
to get foreman for grand jury, if Mr..
Black be defeated on this issue.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be non
irritating. The medical profession has
been slow to learn this. Nothing salts
factory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powders, syringes,
astringents or any similar application,
because they are all irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected surfaces
and should be abandoned as worse than
failures. A multitude of persons who
had for years borne all the worry and
pain that catarrh can infiict testify to
radical and permanent cures wrought by
Ely's Cream Balm.

1t is high time that party have other
meaning than lust for Office. When pol

with which to reward their henchmen, it
is difficult to see what advantage there is
in party victory. While there are squab-
bles over the offices, and men willing to
sell themselves as tools, are selected,
questions of moment are completely ig-
nored. The offices seem to be a corrup-
ton fund and to go to corrupt men.

GABE BoUoK is being severely crit
cised for his withdrawal at the last mo-
ment. Those who are indignant and
inclined to abuse Colonel Bouck should
reflect that political suicide results from
extraordinary cause. There was some
thing more than mere eccentricity in the
course of Bouck, and if the facts were
fully known he would be treated with
more charity. The delegates consider
only the fact of his withdrawal and APP
pretending no cause, set it down as
treachery. This is as foolish as it is I'M
just. In the course of time the cause
will come out and those now active in
denouncing Bouck will feel they have
done him wrong.

the corrupt politicians. These two men

tives from the state, but greed for office

qualifications defeated these men at the

tricts would do well to ignore both nom.
