fitting that ex-Gox. Peck should con-
duct the campaign against the Repub-
lican party of Wisconsin, which has
shown itself so unworthy to be en-
trusted with new lease Of power. He
is, as Col. Watrous says, a gold mine
to the Democrats, and there is no
double standard of morality about
him, either in politics or in business.

kee Telegraph, is not afraid to bcstoM
mcrited praise upon II political oppo
nent. In noticing the selection Of ex
Gov. Peck for chairman OF tie Demo
cratic state central committee, he says
among other things, that Peck has
proved II yeritable gold mine to the
Democrats Of Wisconsin. Rather
put 1t, Bro. Watrous, that he has
proved gold mine to the people of
the entire state. The fitness Of having
Mr.. Peck for n Democratic leader mt
this time Is painfully apparent to Re
publican politicians. Under his ad-
ministration and in redemption of
democratic pledges to the people, iudg
ments aggrogating over S7iO,OO0.OO
were secured against ex-treasurcr who
for their own private gain had juggled
with the funds OF tho state Large
amounts Of these Judgments wero
collected and covered into the treas
ury. And, at the close Of four years
of Democratic control of state affairs,
the receipt Of state Treasurer Peter
son to the outgoing Treasurer John
Hummer, for the sum Of $923, 1880,
showed how we'll Democratic promises
had been kept. II Col. Watrous will
remember, he had the temcrity to urge
through his paper, The Telegraph,
