Cheaper Postage Called for.

Senator Sawyer is still determined TO
labor in the interest of his penny postage
measure. Senator Sawyer in this will
have the hearty cooperation OF at least
three fourths of the people and most of
the press. A country, which for four or
FIVE years has been hunting around for
an opening in which to dispense with the
surplus, need not hesitate TO reduce letter
postage from two cents to one, and re-
move paper postage entirely. TO bes sure
the amount in either case is small, but it
is matter of inheritance to millions OF
people who write letters. It may be said
that every intelligent man, woman aud
child in the country is interested in this
matter, because it concerns all. Senator
SAWYER will find very little vigorous OPP
position to this, one of his many excellent
measures, during his long term in con-

The Bond Litigation.

An article appears 10 The Wisconsin
of the 18th regarding the railroad bond
litigation of Watertown, the conclusion of
which does an injustice to our city as fol-
lows: ''Some of the features of this con-
hict would be amusing were the conse-
quences less serious. They were never
able to serve their papers on US, because
they were never able to find the officers
in time. They could never tell when the
mayor was sworn in, or when the city
counsel met to levy taxes
None of the features of this conflict
could "be amusing" under any circum-
stances to the people of WATERFOWL.
There has never been year since the
bonds were inflicted upon this city, that
the mayor and city council thereof could
not have been found, and papers served
upon them. If the syndicate of holders
of our bonds-Shylock gang-neglected
to get service properly upon our city, if
they were as incompetent and bungling
in their efforts to collect their Ubiquitous
bonds as they were INSCRIPTIONS and
criminal IN first obtaining possession of
them, surely our city is not to be held
responsible for it, and the United States
Circuit Court for the Western district of
Wisconsin, January II, 1885, so decided
and declared the judgments against Wa
tertown out-lawed. We nope and believe
that the Supreme Court of the United
States will sustain the decision of the
Circuit Court and put final stop to the
Vaccinations of our enemies and end for
ever the efforts of constituencies men to
destroy the prosperity of the city of Wa

"An Outrageous Insult"

The overly-sensitive editor of The Ca
zette is mnch wrought up about what
might properly be termed little pleas
antry over the defeat of Cleveland. Car
features to a ridiculous extent have an.
peared in illustrated papers and much
worse than any Republican in this city
would approve of. 1t was q jollification
meeting, and no apologies are needed,
and none are offered. IF the editor of
The Gazette will go back early in the
COS he will recall that large portrait of
President A braham Lincoln was suspend
ed over Main street, very near the bridge,
and on the canvass surrounding the profile
of the president was the most offensive,
the most insulting epithets known to the
English vocabulary of indecency. Per-
haps some of the very men who have
taken umbrsge at and criticized the little
episode above referred to were partici-
pators on that occasion. That chickens
come home to roost,'' and with venge-
ance, is we'll exemplifed on this occasion.
Then the country was III the throes Of a
gigantic rebellion, when every man should
he patriot, and every patriot should be
on guard, aiding in every way possible
the good President Lincoln to save the
Union. What did the conduct of these
men indicate? Was it patriotism, or was
it rank treason? Will the editor of The
Gazette denounce these meh as traitors
and bathrooms? But perhaps it was be-
cause Republicans officiated at a Demo-
cratic funeral that excited the ire of the
editor of The Gazette and his co-laborers.
1t was their funeral, aud they undou bted-
ly bad legal right to conduct the obse-
quies, and especially when there is not
the slightest prospect of a resurrection.
The Republicans Of this city were in an
exulting mood, but their exultation was
without malice, and their joy rather
tinged with sorrow that so many of their
fellow citizens could not enter into and
enjoy the patriotic and protective feast.

The Assembly Organization.

The Republicans of Wisconsin hold
the legislature by larger majority than
two years ago. In looking over the list
of the members of the assembly, no name
can be entertained with as favorable con-
s:deration for the office of speaker as that
of Hon Thomas B. Mills, of Millston,
Jackson county, who as speaker of the
assembly of 1887, filled the position with
honor to himself and credit to the state.
One name only is mentioned for chief
clerk of the assembly-Hon. Edwin d.
Coe, of Whitewater-and no other name
is necessary to insure to that body an able,
accommodating, tried and efficient officer,
his services becoming next to indispensa-
BILE in the legislature.

Don't axe All.

In the late election no city or town in
the state gave as large majority fer
Cleveland as Watertown, and with the
exception of Chicago no place in Illinois,
Missouri or Minnesota did as well for the
Democracy. In proportion to the vote
cast, New York City does not hold can
die to Watertown as Democratic strong
hold. Eight hundred majority out of
1000 votes is no small thing, relatively.
To the interest of everybody WATERFOWL
is quite unanimous enough. To render
her more one-sided would be no better
for the place, nor indeed quite as good, if
the theory is sound that well organized
and healthy minority is essential to good
government. On the same principle it
would be no better for WATERFOWL if all
were Republicans.
We are glad that our neighbor of The
Gazette finds some solace for his wounds
by the increased Democratic vote in the
Third, Fourth and Fifth wards, but he
must not be too ambitious for fame and
gather into his fold every Republican on
the west side of the river, The REPUBLIC
AN did not think of claiming anything for
itself in the late election, but The Gazette
opens the way for US to do so by citing to
the Republican gains in the First, Second
and Sixth wards, amounting to AZ votes.
Thanks for the reminder.

no THE COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

An "ex-repressntive" from West Vir-
giuia is quoted by Washington paper as
say ing that ''west Virginia may be count
ed solid for CLEVELAND" Whoever this
"ex.representativs" may be he need not
have exercised extraordinary powers Of
perception to have arrived at this conclu'
sioa. West Virginia is most undoubtsd-
" solid for the reelection of the best
and brayest President we have had
since the war-GRoyER CLEVELAND
The REGISTER takes this oppor-
tunity Of urging the Democratic
county conventions of West Virginia to
send solid CLEVELAND delegations to the
Congressional conventions, which, in turn,
are to elect delegates to the s.. Louis
National Democratic Convention. Let
every man be a CLEVELAND man. The
Democratic rank and file of the State are
solid for CLEVELAND and the State will
cast its vote for CLEVELAND in November.
Outside of a very few disappointed politl-
clans who are disposed to think them
selves sggrieyed at the Federal appoint
ments the Democrats of West Virginia are
to O man for GROVER CLEVELAND and
another four years of honest and above
board Democracy at Washington.
1t is not necessary to detail here the
many governmental reforms and wise acts
that have been instituted by President
CLEysIAND's administration and which
distin guish it as marking an era In our
political history. Suffice it to say that
when GROVER CLEVELAND was inaugu-
rated President there began, the first time
in twenty-five years, an honest administra-
ton of the National Government. The peo-
pie have watched his administration as
no o her administration was ever watched,
1t has made mistakes, but they have been
few and insignificant; it has been chsrac'
terized by tearlessness aud an honesty
that has startled and cowei the politi-
clans, who thought things were to be run
as heretofore, and the people are thoroughly
satisfied with their inspection. They
know that while GROVER CLEVELAND is
the Executive they are safe from the po!it-
ical maTaudeTs, who have heretofore plum
dered them by wholesale, making
the government practically an &C
complete, and cats paw OF
rapacious corporations and monopOles.
President CLEVELAND is the embodiment
of this reform and is pre- eminently the
choice of the Democratic party aud OF the
country for q second term.
Let there be no dissenting voice in any
cOunty's delegation in West Virginia. Let
West Virginia Democrats show their thor
ough appreciation of honesty and true
Democracy by instructing every delegate
to the Congressional conventions for
GROVER CLEVELAND and honest govern
ment.

THE ATTEMPTED TREASURY RAID

The nine days OF fibustering that the
minority on the Direct Tax Refnnding
bill have been thus far engaged in has &c
eomplished at least one good result among
many bad ones. Ii has gradually drawn
pablie attention to the true character Of
the measure which the Republicans aided
by some deluded Democrats are endeavOr-
ing to push through, and there is already
apparent decided chaege Of popular sen
tinent on the subject reflected in the
public prints.
The people are beginnins to reSlizs that
the Direct Tax bill is simply grand raid
on the Treasury with the object of redu-
cling the enormous surplus to such small
dimensions that 3 reduction of the war
taxes will be impossible. That is the
whole end aud aim of the measure, which
would never have been dreamed of had
there not been treasury OVERLOOKING with
idle money. The bill proposes TO distrib-
ute SIG, OOO, 600, taken from one set of tax
payers, among another set Of tax
payers, a manifestly unjust and
unreasonable proposition. One tax
payer has paid in the money;
another will receive it. The Federal bur-
den falls on every producer and consumer;
the State burden falls on the property
owner alone. Much of the money would
never reach the POOR man who helped pay
it in and nobody believes the taxpayers Of
1862 would retrieve their money. Thus
the direct tax-repayment will take tie Z
cents paid as tax on the poor mans pound
of sugar and use it torelieve the poor mans
landlord Of the State assessment on his
house and lot next spring. New Yorkwin
get 81, OOO, 900, Pennsylvania 81 500, 900,
Kansas little or nothing. There is no sense
or Justice in the scheme, which is nothing
more nor less thSn the entering wedge for
similar measures which it is proposed to
push through behind this precedent, and
which will leave the treasury so bare that
tax reduction cannot be contemplated.
Then having defeated tax reduction, the
Republican schemers would 90 on the

THE politicians make the great mistake
of suppOsing or assuming to suppose that
it is simply the surplus the people want to
get rid of. Not at all. We can stand The
surplus very well, except in so far as it is
an incentive to governmental extravaganza
and big jobs. 1t is the taxes-which cause
the surplus, which drain millions from
the channels of trade, csuse depression and
rob the peOple-which We want relief
from. 1t is the taxes, not the resulting
surplus, that we especially object to.
Wherein will it profit the people to have
the politicians waste or steal their money
