The British ambassador, or Min.
lister to this country, has written a
letter for the benefit of English
Americans. 1t endorses Cleveland,
on the grounds that he would best
serve the interests of the mother
country. Americans, can you stand
this?
REV. M. B. BALcH, p. L. of Mad
ison District, assisted by Rev. @. w.
Horton, the newly appointed M. E.
pastor of this place, held forth in
the interest of the Prohibition party
at the City Hall, Wednesday even
ing. A glee club from Dodgeville
furnished music.
CAN anyone RENE mber when the
Democratic party was not crying
"reform," or can anyone remember
when that party did not need re-
forming2 A constant reformer is
no good, just as John 7. Kelley
says, Why don't they form some
thing? That's the query.
PAUL NOBLE returned Tuesday
from Green county, where he pur-
chased pair of fine young Hol-
stems. They are of the best blood
in the country and are beauties.
These are the only thoroughbred
Holsteins in this section. We hope
Paul's enterprise will not go without
it's due reward.
BOYS, such as can't vote but are
nearly old enough, are going about
with Democratic money offering to
bet on Cleveland. They make offers
only to Republican voters. This is
little scheme of Democratic poll
ticians. Should you make bet
look out for being challenged at the
polls. SO beware.
THERE are few who labor under
the impression that the present Re
publican candidate for sheriff is the
same Owens who was elected four
years ago. This is not the case. The
present candidates name is John w.
Owens, and no more genial or com
petent man ever run for office in
Iowa county.
SEVERAL Democrats are heard to
wall over the plain talk of Cover
nor Rusk, who is doing little cam
paigning in this part of the state.
The trouble is the Governor confines
himself too closely to the truth for
their comfort. The Governor is
charged with Haunting the "bloody
shirt" Who has a better right to
refer to the war and rascals who
tried to disrupt this Union? Who
made better soldier? Who has
made a better citizen or Governor?
Rusk proves that this country is to-
day controlled by that faction of the
Democratic party which was so dis
loyal, and he argues, and clearly,
that such a state Of events comes
about by fraud. This should not
be, and the Governor pleads bluntly
but earnestly with all loyal and
patriotic voters to intercede. The
instant a pablic speaker, who from
Republican standpoint, refers to
affairs of the past, the Dems. yelp
"bloody shirt" Oh, what dis
graceful past theirs is; no wonder
they squirm when it is referred to.
ANOTHER exquisite water-celor!
and we learn that it is only one Of a
series; so before Demorests Month-
IN lfqgazine finishes this series we
will have quite a collection. The
one in the November number Of this
favorite family magazine Gust re-
ceived) is certainly very beautiful.
It is called "Minel" and is a study
of the head Of child with a bunch
of roses elasped to her breast Il
looks like an original water-color
worth many dollars. Besides the
beautiful in the November number,
the practical is very marked. The
chapter on "Help" gives employers
hint az to their rights, and tells
the housewife just how to handle
