one to which they do not point with

what editor j. q. Monahan, of The
Darlington Republican, says, in his
paper, In commenting upon the re-
suit Of the recent assembly election
In Lafayette county.
"The Republicans carried weights
and were badly handicapped, and
nothing but the great personal pop
ularity OF their candidate pulled them
through. The Democrats nominated
one Of their best and strongest men,
and the party gave him united sup.
port. The Republicans were dis
gusted, because special session had
been called. an act which they regard
as unnecessary and expensive hence
they were lukewarm. They were on
every hand confronted with the broken
pledges, ineiliciencies and colossal
blunders without number, of the
Upham administration. They could
not defend them; so many Repub.
licans, men who have grown gray in
the service of the party, either stayed
away from the polls, or voted the
Democratic ticket, to rebuke the ad-
ministration OF "the man of many
blunders." This may seem to be u
harsh criticism, but 1t is Gods own
truth, and the time has come to
speak plainly. The Republicans Of
Lafayette county have had foretaste
OF what the campaign will be next
fall--if Governor Upham again heads
the ticket. They believe It means the
loss Of the state, legislative and
county tickets. Can we afford II?

Ebben Marriott, of Baraboo, claims
to have in his possession the oldest
bible in circulation. The book was
printed in England in 1880 and has
been in his family for many genera
tions. This book was brought to light
since the account was published of
George B. Gibbons having in his
household a bible published in 1886.
Several years ago newspaper contro-
versy arose as to the oldest bible in
existence and Mr.. Marriott carried off
the honors, as no older book has as yet
been located.
