During the last four years the Demo-
cratic party has administered the affairs
OF the state 50 honestly and economically
that it can justly point with pride TO its
record; and we believe that the party will
win in this campaign not by publishing
misStatementS aud falseboodS against the
business methods or personal character of
a man who is entitled to and enjoys the
admiration. friendship and respect of his
fellow citizens but from advocating the
principles of true Democracy. Of which
every true Democrat Is proud and for which
every true Democrat should honorably
fight.

Milwaukee Sentinel: On Saturday last
the Sentinel published Il copy of a letter
signed by twenty Democrats residing III
Marshfeld, including merchants, physi-
clans, Catholic and Lutheran clergy
man, and other prominent citizens, adj
dressed to the Milwaukee Journal. It
was a vigorous protest against the course
OF that paper IN attacking the personal
character and business integrity of Maj.
Upham, the Republican candidate for
governor, and, instead of conducting the
campaign by advocating Democratic prin
ciples, publishing, the letter says,
misstatements and faLseh0ods against
the business methods and personal char
acter of Il man who Is entitled to- and en-
joys the admiration, friendship and re-
spect of his fellow citizens This letter
from Maj. Upham's home, signed by
prominent Democrats who are his neigh
bOrS, was mailed as Il registered letter
on Wednesday, October 10. 1T should
have reached Milwaukee the following
morning, in time to have appeared in the
organ on the evening of Thursday.
When its authors saw that 1T was not
published they forwarded by express Il
copy of the letter to this journal, asking
its publication, providing it did not APP
pear in the organ on Friday, The organ
now pretends it did not receive the letter
until Saturday morning. This is either
untrue, or there must have been juggling
by the Democratic postal officials. OF
Maj. Upham, his standing in the COM
munlty where he lives, and his character
as an employer, the letter says:
AS man and as 4 fellow-citIZen, he has
ever stood ready TO help amy and all who
needed assistance without regard to their
religion. nationality or politics; expecting
nothing III return. and asking nothing. IN
labor he has always been liberal, just and
honest with his WOrkingmen, and any one
of them with a real or fancied grievance
against the Upham Manufacturing company
can always lay the matter freely before Mr..
Upham, and be certain of Il satisfactory adj
juStment
The city of MarShfield is essentially a city
of homes. fully ninetenths of its residents
owning their own houses, such ownership III
q great many Instances having been made
possible through the liberality of the Up
ham Manufacturing company lin supplying
material and giving credit far in excess of
any possible security that could be offered
and no one appreciates this fact more than
do the present and past employees of the
Upham Manufacturing company.
Their credit coupon books have always
had the same purchasing power as cash at
their store, and at the same prices, and
without any distinction whatever any man
to whom the company owed money being
able TO draw his balance in cash on the
regular pay day; and whether he waited
vance in the form of a coupon book was a
matter entirely optional with himself and
we have yet to learn that an employer of
labor is compelled to advance cash wages
not due until pay day, or that in giving Q
man credit at his store in advance of his
earnings he rightfully earns for himself the
title of tyrant and Oppressor of labor.
Such is the testimony of the Demo-
cratic neighbors of Maj. Upham, men
who have known him for years, who
know his employees, and who, though not
supporting him as candidate, are dis
gusted at the campaign of SANDER and
misrepresentation carried on against him
by the managers of their own party.
The organ does not publish it. it will not
publish it, but instead brings forward
and dlssemlnateS new inStallment of
the campaign garbage which it is en-
gagged in manufacturing.
