Ine Attacks on McCord.

The Milwaukee Journal, in
defending its attacks on Myron H.
McCord, and abiding to the COM
ments Of this paper thereon, says:
Zone of the discouraging signs
in politics is the readiness with
which partisans run to the defense
Of their Sallows, with no regard for
truths oF justice"
It might more properly have
remarked that one OF the dis
couraging signs in politics is the
readiness with which partisans
make reckless charges and publish
one-sided and distorted state
ments against political opponents,
with no regard for truth or
justice"
The charges against McCord
consisted of some afidavIts from
two drunken, worthless Indians,
(as has been fully demonstratcd)
and four unjust statements of other
parties without the slightest
foundation Of truth. The afhdavits
Of reputable men and other state
ments, conclusively shows this.
Our friend Of the Journal is too
we'll posted in politics to really
believe in the efficacy of such
attacks. A man who has borne a
good reputation for years respected
by his fellow citizens, is not going
to lose that reputation because the
moment he is nominated for an
important Office, partisan papers
suddenly discover that he is a
great rascal.
As The Herald has before
remarked, Mr.. McCord has been a
member of both branches of the
Legislature and held other promi-
nent positions of trust. His
warmest friends. in the State are
men like Philetus Sawyer, Isaac
Stephenson, Angus Cameron, the
late Senator Howe, etc. Is it
reasonable to suppose that such
men would retain corrupt, dis
honest person on their list Of
associates and friends?
Another thing there isn't one
prominent man in five hundred
but what has, either in law suits
or other matters, made enemies,
whose partisan and distorted
rendition Of alleged facts would
make seemingly prima facie case
of fraud, tr;ckery or deception.
And the voters know that
resorting to such efforts, when a
candidate is. running for an office,
is merely done for political effect,
and not for the purpose of righting
a wrong, or honestly showing
voters the unftness of q candidate
No; a business man who stands
we'll for years before election, ism t
going to be hurt by such attacks
during a political campaign. The
only person liable to get hurt in
a contest of that kind, is the
candidate in whose interest such
stuff is Circulated Chippewa

&. FAISEEOOD.

A story has been put in circula-
ton to the effect that the Republi-
can candidate for congress, Hon.
NJ. H. McCord has in some way
identified himselfWith the so-called
Anti Bridge movement in this
county. We are able to state
authoritatWely that there is not
word of truth in the story. Mr..
McCord is not only too wise but
too honorable to u,soddle in any
way with a purely local contro-
versy with the solution of which
he can at no time rightfully have
anything whatever to do. The
story was evidently designed to
prejudice Republicans in certain
localities against Mr.. McCord. It
will utterly fail Of it's object, as it
ought to do.

THE DIFFERENCE.

1t takes more Republican votes
in this district to elect one Repub-
lican member Of Congress than it
does Democrats to elect ten
Democratic members in the State
of Georgia, and yet they howl

while it is Earley's money dis
bursed in the most unblushing
manner that is causing men to
talk Of McCord's bad record

A. COMPARISON.

There is increased prosperity in
the English iron trade, and at a
meeting between the members of
the Cleveland Ironmasters' Asso-
citation and a deputation from their
workmen' held at Middlesborough,
Sept. II, it Was agreed that three
shillings sterling, or seventy-three
cents, should be the wages /" for
any man employed in working as
hlast-furnacemen's shifts"
The corresponding wages in
Pittsburg and Chicago are $500
per day.

Bad record, rats. Good money
bad record. We defy any man to
put his finger on dishonorable act
Mr. McCord ever cid. A disrepu-
table Democra tic sheet owned by
H. W. Farley and edited by 7. n.
Phillips says the people cannot
support McCord because he has
been so rlny times bankrupt.
Here is an insinuation that
amounts simply to a base and
malicious lie and we have the
certified statement of the clerks of
both tfle eastern and western
distric'- of the L. S. Court Of
Wisconsin to prove it Mr.. Nc
Cord was never in bankruptcy and
never owed a debt that he did not
pay hundred cents on a dollar.
Another scandalous sheet bought
up by Earley's money, charges
that Mr.. McCord's accounts while
treasurer of .Shawano county were
not straight. This is another
malicious lie and we have the
affidavit of a leading Democrat
who served as treasurer Of that
county after Mr.. McCord, to prove
/ it.

HON. M. II. McCORD.

We hoFe no Republican IN
Wood county will fail to vote for
Hon. NJ. II. McCord, the Republi-
can candidate for congress. His
election is very important as
holding the Ninth district firmly
in line, while the Republicans Of
the country elsewhere are putting
forth their best efforts to regain a
majority in the House Of Repre-
sentativcs. The contest now
pending in tie country at large is
emphatically one between the vital
interests of American industry and
American workingmen on the one
hand, and a policy that has proved
the rankest enemy to both, on the
other. 1t is not only important
that die Republicans elect the
President, but that they shall again
obtan control of the popular
branch of congress, in which
originate most measures of financial
interest to the people. Mr.. Nc
Cord may be rdied epon as a firm
friend of the laboring people. He
comes from humble parentage; has
worked his own way to enviable
prominence. His every impulse
will lead him to favor that policy
which will continue and strengthen
conditions favorable to the success
and prosperity of those who are
dependent in life upon their own
efforts.
Mr. McCord has experience in
public affairs, having served con-
spicuously il both branches of the
State legislature. Such experience
will be invaluable to him in the
more prominent field to which the
people are about to assign him,
andwe shall be greatly disappointed
if he shall not be, at an early day,
accorded a prominence in congress
that will be especially creditable
to him and Will enable him to
serve the peopJe Of this district in
an exceptionally efficient and
satisfactory manner

AMIGO REPUBLICAN.

Since the Democratic papers
have made such villifying charges
against McCord's honesty and
character, his friends have taken
more active interest in the cam
paign. Mr.. AEcCord has no
trouble in convincing any fair
minded man that the charges
made against him are false
campaign lies. He will obtain
votes from democrats who do not
approve of that kind Of campaign
work, especially those. who know
him. One instance wherein a
Democratic lumbern7an Of this
country figures is fair illustration
of the sentiment of honest Demo
Gratis. At the time Mr.. McCord
failed, about fifteen years ago, he
was owing this Amigo Democratic
lumberman a large sum Of money.
The lumberman held a promissory
note drawing ten per cent. interest,
He kept them instead of putting
them in as others did and taking
what would be awarded him under
the assignment process. A few
years Later he met Mr.. McCord on
the cars, and to his pleasure
McCord asked him the amount Of
his claim that he should have
every cent his due. This was
done, and there is as much use in
trying to stop a hurricane with the
wave Of your hat as to attempt to
make the Amigo lurnbermap think
MCCord is dishonest. In this
section he is gaining strength,
notwithstanding these campaign
lies and Earley's free use OF
Doodle.

No man, high or low, rich or
poor, Republican or Democrat,
will ever write to- Myron H.
McCord, should he be elected to
Congress, without getting prompt
reply. And no man will ever ask
any service Of him that he will
not perform, if it is in his power
He is in the prime, of life and will
be a working member from first to
last. Wood county ought to give
him large majority.

HON. ROBT. Common.

The best interests of Wood
county demand the election of
Hon. Robt. Connor to the Assem-
bly,. That he will make a faithful
and able representative no one
pretends to question. That every
interest local and general, will be
safe in his keeping, is admitted by
all who know him. And this is
controlling reason why the
people should choose him
to represent them. The people of
this county should select men to
represent them at Madison who
will faithfully guard the bubHc
interests, and who will not be the
mere tool or mouthpiece Of any
cabal or clan. Let the: people Of all
sections Of the county give to Mr..
Connor the hearty support which
he deserves, and thus do honor to
a worthy man and at the same
time most surely promote their
own substantial welfare.

bottom. He eulogized Mr.. Burton and
assured his audience that when the
Silver-tongued orator gets to the legis-
lature he will be able to take care of
himself. He will be leader and not
found silent when any important mat

that Dickinson county would be felt

Although he was not peronal-

from what he had heard of him he was
sure that he was good, conscientious,
christian gentleman of good ability and
he would represent his constituency
ably and honorably, and every Repub-

Mr.. Gibson.
