AS to Sheriff.

Taking the two county tickets. Der,o.
cratic and Republican, man for man.
and comparing them, it must be ad-
mitted that the latter is by all odds
superior to the former. In no case.
| perhaps, is the difference so marked
as II the candidates for sheriff. AS
between Mr.. Krebs and Mr.. Wagner
| no voter knowing the two men, should
hesitate moment. While one is by
| nature and education, wholly unfit for
the place, the other would make an
efficient, painstaking, honest and res
pectable sheriff. In no sense is Mr..
Krebs such nominee as any party
should name for 30 responsible posi-
ton, and we are sure that the Demo-
Gratis would never have dared to put
him upon their ticket were it not for
the large majority they have in the
county which they rely upon for sue
cess, no matter how unworthy or
unsavory their candidates. Mr.. Krebs,
who is resident of Koshkonong. will
run behind his ticket, and be beaten,
in that town, chiefly because those
who know him best are aware of his
incapacity. Furthermore, they know
that he has never paid, and does not
now pay any taxes; and it is not good
politics nor good policy for the office of
sheriff to be in the hands of man who
has no interest as a taxpayer in an
economical administration of it's affairs.
With MT. Wagner, who is a thorough
business man, and a solid, substantial
farmer, paying good sized tax every
year, made larger or smaller according
to the manner in which the business of
the public is conducted, the county
would find itself the gamer if he were
sheriff. Not many years ago Jefferson
county enjoyed the luxury of a Repub-
lican sheriff and has never had occasion
to regret the choice it then made of
Honest John d. Bullock. If it would
like something of that kind again, by
way of variety; a sheriff who would not
run the Office for all the money there
is in it, but as he would manage his
own private affairs, with prudence and
economy; let the voters see that Jacob
Wagner is elected and the result they
desire will be achieved.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. 31.-The academy
of music this afternoon contained one Of
the largest and most enthusiastic gather
ings of democrats ever gotten together in
this state. 1t was the first state convention
since the one which preceded the political
landslide of two years ago, and the pro-
eeedings we're more in the order of a love
feast, as it had long been known that the
present state officers would be rsnominated
by aoolamation. Burr W. Jones, of Madi
son, WAS selected AZ temporary chairman.
He made a speech, in which he reoited the
good record of the democratic state admin
istration since it came into power, and
held up the republican party to scorn
for its course in forcing the
educational issue and then repudiating it.
ization was made permanent. L. +. Ftaw-
Icy. of Eau Claire, renominated the entire
state ticket in ringing speech, and the
denomination was made by acclamation
amid the greatest applause. A platform
was adopted charging the republican party
of the state With extravaganza and unjusti-
fable Interference with individual and CON-
stitutional rights. and denounoinR that
% rty for permitting the state treasurer to
appropl late interest enrned by the state
funds. The democratic party is COM
mended for its repeal of the Bennett law
