passes of. Good speakers III this cam
psign are costing liberal advances Of
money, especially most Of those who
are employed and sent into remote dis
tricts of country by the. state and
national committees. Another method
for successful canvass is placing the
chief reliance In . thorough and sys-
tenatic organization of the voters, par
ticularly in the rural districts. In
order to obtain 4 full vote, there needs
to be an enrolment of every voter,
and his assignment to division with
head, who will see that every such
voter attends the polls. 1t has often
been observed in the most warmly con-
tested elections that after election
many votes are counted in the rural
districts who did not find it con-
venient to come to the place of cleo
ton. These delinquents in most
cases are Republicans. The great
mass OF Democrats have an innate pas
sion to vote, and are pretty sure to be at
the polls. Men of observation express
the opinion that a campaign fund of
Ave dollars in town will do more in
securing the attendance OF tardy voters
than three times that sum expended
for speeches. terchlight professions OF
show.

The chief national issue Ia the Presi-
Dental campaign Of 1888 is clearly de-
fined; it is protection and free trade.
There are other minor issues on which
there are differences of opinion, but
the one issue here name d is the burden
of nine-tenths Of the speeches which
are now being made on national issues
in all parts of the country. The deci-
sion of the people will be rendered in
November next. but it will not be sur.

civilized world, illustrating as it does
every avenue of human industry in its

One of the uses of giving COWS salt,

ANNOUNCEMENT.

From and after this number OF
this paper, the TELEGRAPH will be
consolidated with the KenOsha
COURIER, and the name of the united
papers will be observation-disclosures.
The proprietor of the COURIER, Mr.
L. A. Cass. having purchased the sub
scription list, materials and goodwill
OF the TELEGRAPH, the two papers
consolidated will be issued from the
office of the COURIER. The present
subscribers to the TELEGRAPH will be
supplied with the united paper on the
same terms, in fullflment of their sub
scriptions, as heretofore; also the adj
vertising will be carried forward ac-
cording to previous contracts.
1t is hoped that this change in the
proprietorship of the TELEGRAPH will
meet with favor by its old subscribers.
some of whom have been on the list
since its establishment in lS4). From
these and Others of later date, who are
valued friends, 1t would be unpleasant
to part company aspatrons until sever
ed by destiny beyond human control
The united paper will have larger
space for reading matter than the
TELEGRAPH has had heretofore, and
readers will have right to expect
that, with added editorial effort, the
columns of the TELEGRAPH-COURIER
will be rendered more valuable. An
infusion of youthful vigor in the
younger branch of the paper may i'm
part intellectual activity in the older.
We bespeak for the paper under its
changed condition the continued pa
tronage and support of the people.
If the reason be asked for uniting
the two papers, it may be answered
one reason is, that for few years past
the opinion has been expressed by lead
ing Republicans in the county that 1t
would better conduce to harmony in
the party which the two papers have
claimed to represent if there were but
one organ. Kenosha is among the
smallest counties in the state, and the
population is too limited in number to.
easily support two Republican papers
The time once was when the legal adj
vertising alone was an important news
paper support, but that patronage has
largely passed away. The cheapness
and facility with which the daily
papers from the large city are furnish
ed diminishes the demand for county
papers. 1t is not matter of CON-
plant that city dailies are so generally
patronized; it speaks we'll for read
ing population. 1t would seem. how
ever, that no family can well afford to
dispense with home county paper,
furnishing the home news.

DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED
OLD CITIZEN.

DR.. E. G. Dyer died at Burlington,
Racine county. Thursday of last week
at the age of SO years, where he had
been residing about half century.
He was the father of Judge Dyer, OF
Racine. DIR. Dyer was man Of mark.
ed ability, always identified with phil
anthropic enterprises; the first to
move forward while others still hest
tated. He was found in the anti-sls1v.
cry ranks in early times, and boldly
advocated the rights of the slave to
freedom. When the attempt was made
by Southern officials, jeff Davis of the
number, to hold slaves at the military
post at Prairie du Chen, in the west.
ern part of Wisconsin, DR.. Dyer dis
covered this unlawful attempt, caused
attention to be called to it at Washing.
ton. and the project was frustrated.
He was supporter of James G. Biz
ney for President in 1912.
DR.. Dyer delivered a Fourth of July
Grafton at Delevan in 1910. This
was the first independence Grafton de-.
livered in Southern Wisconsin ever
published; it was printed in the South
port (Kenosha) TELEGRAPH, and is
found in a bound volume of that paper
in possession of Hon. }. Bond. It is
interesting to notice how the Fourth of
July was treated by Wisconsin orators
SO many years ago.
In letter to us from DR.. DYER.
written August 10, 1887, he states an
interesting fact in relation to his Dele
van Grafton. Forty-seven years after
his Grafton was given in Delevan, some
OF the early citizens of that place learn
ing that the Grafton was still extent.
rs published in the TELEGRAPH, re-
luested him to send them the copy of
the paper containing it. With this re-
guest the DR.. complied. and the ora
ton was republished in full in q Dele
van paper. It does not often happen
that so much Importance attaches to a
Fourth of July address. delivered near
" half a century before, as to call for
its republication.
The letter Of DR.. Dyer referred to is
full of interest and would be publish
ed did its length not preclude it. He
speaks of having collected quite vol
ume Of "reminiscences, current events,
social and religious changes, etc. No
doubt here would be found material
for valuable publication

BEST METHODS FOR CONDUCT
ING A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN

The best method for conducting 4
political campaign involves two con-
siderations, economy and success. The
policy thus far during the present can
vass IS the supply Of every city and
village with good speakers, and so
arranging the meetings as to con-
venience the greatest number OF peo-
pie. This is proper method, for the
success of the Republican ticket will
depend on the intelligence Of the voting
population. No great reliance in .
well informed community can be
placed on professions, device or show.
Nor can flashes Of oratory make endur-
ing effect on the listeners; they may
be captivating for the moment, but
the influence is often evanescent. Al
most every one is pleased to hear good
speakers. but tho effect produced easily
