MIR. EDITOR. Please give space in
your valuable paper for the following
item from this town.
The name Of John Bradley late OF
Co. F, 9TH Wis Vols. and of the old
Iron Brigade, will be presented to
the Republican convention this fall for
the Office of Register of Deeds. He will
be presented in the interest of EllenbOro
who has had no candidate for county
Office since 1868, and we rs Republicans
of this town ask the cordial support of
the convention for MIR. Bradley. He is
an old soldier and was "a good one, and
was never known to finch or shirk any
duty that he was called upon to per-
form. He was wounded at the battle
of tho Wilderness and was taken prisoner
at the same time. After his capture be
was confined in miserable prison pens
of the South, viz. Danville. Florence
and Andersonville, for several months,
and when paroled he was in a starving
condition, and his health was so shat
tered at that time that he has never re
covered and never will. but he has beer
q constant sufferer ever since.
Mr.. Bradley is and always has beer
an active worker in the Republican rank
has always been friend to every mar
who has heretofore been candidate
for Office. Hoping that the Republican
Of Grant county will remember Mr.
Bradley in the caucuses and in the con
yention, ! am yours respectfully,

The Irish Catholics OF Highland Propose
to Cane General Harrison.

to Cane General Harrison.
Galena Gazette: The Irish revolt
against the Democratic British free
trade party in 1884, was quite general
throughout the United States, but it was
attributed by many to their admiration
/ for James G. Blaine, rather than their
disgust for the Democratic party and its
principles. The present campaign is
demonstrating that this was a mistake,
and that those who revolted four years
ago will generally support General
Harrison, who represents Blaine's
American Protective policy.
The most formidable revolt in this
vicinity four years ago was in Highland,
Wisconsin.
The Irish Catholics of that village and
vicinity held picnic at Carey's grove
on the Fourth, for the benefit of their
fine new church that they are erecting
There was very large attendance,
and the principal interest centered in a
vote for presidential preferences, the
candidate receiving the largest number
of votes to be presented with an elegant
gold-headed cane, purchased for the
occasion.
There were 5000 votes cast. of which
number General Harrison received 2. 127;
Grover Cleveland, 685; and Clinton b.
Fisk 100. The cane will be forwarded
by express to General Harrison, at
indianapolis. as testimonial of the
esteem in which the gallant standard
bearer is held by the Irish protectionists
of Highland.
The Highland correspondent of the
Dodgeville Chronicle, himself formerly
strong Democrat, but who revolted
four years ago, referring to the matter
says:
What will our Democratic friends
now say about the Irish break of 1884
all going back to the Democrats in 1888.
No, Democrats; be no longer deluded
with the false idea that the Irish voted
for James G. Blaine because they be-
lieved, if elected, he would free Ireland.
The idea was preposterous and an insult
TO The intelligence of The people. #
The Irish admire Mr.. Blaine as many
others do, because in him they recog
nize bold and fearless exponent of the
genuine principles of American Govern
ment. They are just as strongly in
favor of the election of Gen. Harrison,
standing squarely, as he does, on the
Chicago Platform.
The vote here on the 4th sounds the
keynote for the Republican party in
Iowa county for the fall campaign.
Honor to Patrick Ford, John +. Fin
erty and other brave Irish leaders, who
have advised their countrymen to leave
the party devoted to free-trade and
British interests and join the party de-
voted to protection and American in
terests.

the school meeting, held here last Mon
day evening, July 2nd, was necessarily
brief. The HERALD went to press
Tuesday afternoon. day earlier than
usual. and gave Wednesday, the Fourth,
to the comDositors This necessitated
hurried work from those in charge that
day, that resulted in one or two slight
inaccuracies, some the fault of the copy
maker, and some for which the printer
alone was responsible. The first, we
hasten To correct, the latter are too
unimportant To notice. In the report
it was stated That the question of free
text books was discussed, and "ldtd on
The table" Such a motion was made
but it was decided after lengthy dis
Fcnssion, that the meeting could not be
adjourned neutrality-suspicious. was voted
upon Not wishing TO have the meet
ing extend indefinitely, the question
was decided in the negative, the person
making the motion stating that he
should vote against it. That was the
only mistake made in the report last
week.
The paper coming out earlier than
usual, however, gave those who felt
themselves aggrieved. an opportunity
TO retaliate upon the writer of the of
Tending article, in a manner that al
most makes us believe that the age of
chivalry is past. The meeting
has been said 10 have been ''ouly an
informal talk between Tho patrons, and
not for publication We would not
presume To assert what il may ha o
been 10 those who did the taking To
woman, but recently granted the
limited suffrage Of school affairs, it had
every appearance of a regular business
meeting. Not specially ''informal,"
either, al least the form of addressing
the chair was observed by every
: speaker, and each motion was duly put
and voted upon.
The uninitla'e,i, would certainly have
called this regular meeting until
after the motion 10 adjourn was passed,
then Of course. it became Il friendly (P)
talk and none of that was published.
1t should lave been mentioned that
each speaker made "a point of empha-
sizing the fact that neither teachers nor
the school board were in any way TO
blame for the poor work they all agreed
had been done. The prevailing opinion
was, (and any careful reader of our
report will see) that the course of
study covers so much ground that
thorough work is impossible. These
are the only explanations or apologies
the writer of the offending article has to
offer. 1t was brief, but correct re-
port of the meeting, and had it been
longer, would have been no more flat
tering. 1t was not the reporters
opinions that were given, but the
opinions, as publicly stated, of few
representative men of the town.
The statement that the spirit of the
discussion was not correctly repro
duccd, and was purpously misrepre-
sentcd, it is unnecessary to state, is
utterly false. So far as it went the
report was what the writer then be-
lieved, and sill believes. TO DO sub
stantially correct. The offence the re-
port gave 10 a few individuals was
taken from seeing in print some state
ments made which they did not expect
would be reported.
