SHOWS THE PROPER SPIRIT.

A few, a very few, of the country
town newspapers are following the
lead of the Minneapolis Journal and
are boiling the head of the Republican
State ticket. These are the papers
who, not knowing the animus of the
Minneapolis Zone hundred when they
began their crusade against Gov.
Clough last winter, .chimed in, and be-
fore they knew il. had gone so far that
they felt unwilling to back down and
acknowledge that they had been mis-
led. It would seem, however, that af-
ter the Republicans of the State have
risen and en- masse to indorse the gov
ernor, the proper course for every Re-
publican paper, whatever it's position
may have been before the convention,
ought to be to retract the statements
made upon false information. It is
we'll enough to be consistent if you
know you are in the right, but it is far
better to be inconsistent than know
ingly persist in the wrong. Mr. Clough
was not our choice for governor, and
we did not support him for the nomi-
nation, but neither did we abuse him.
AS the almost unanimous choice of the
Republicans of this State, as expressed
at the last primaries, we shall support
him. Madison Guard.

NOT WEAK.

The funniest excuse for any Republi-
can to vote against his party ticket is
offered by the Minneapolis Evening
Journal when it says that Gov. Clough
is not a strong man, that would seem
to be the best reason why every true
Republican should rally round the
ticket and give it a hearty support.
But the governor is not weak with the
common people, as his vote for lieuten-
ant governor plainly shows. ~ rookston

The prospect for a large yield of maple
sugar in Marinette county is not very en-
couraging at present. Those who have
been engaged in its manufacture for
years in the western part of the county
claim that the crop will be the lightest
in years, owing to the total absence of
snow, which is always an important
agent in producing an extensive flow of
sap. To many farmers who own large
tracts of maple timber, and who have
the best appliances for making sugar and
