Now that the canvass for Candi-
dates for nomination for governor is
closed so far as this county is concern
ed, the next thing of Importance to
consider. aside from choosing NOM
inees for county officers, is the selec-
ton of candidate for state senator.
The senate IS the most important
branch OF the Legislature. Its mem
bers should be men OF experience,
ability and character. Such a man
is the Hon. C. II. Baxter of Lancaster.
He is able and trustworthy and has
worked earnestly for the republican
party as the chairman of the county
committee for twenty-five years.
He has for four years represented
North Grant in the state senate and
by uniform fidelity to the peoples
Interests has merited the endorse
ment of denomination and election.
The HERALD presents the name of Mr..
Baxter in the belief that his candidacy
will receive the support to which, his
talents and party service entitle it.

LANCASTER, Wis. July %, 1896.
70 Wtom ii naay Concern:
In the last issue of the Teller. in
commenting upon the Republican
caucus held in the Town of Lancaster
last Saturday, the editor IN his usual
unsavory way, charges that the sup
port of Duncan McGregor, was "a
scheme to give Grant county away to
some pinery or Milwaukee plumber
politicians.
It is deplorable that honest mems
opinions should be maliciously and
without cause. ;misconstrued and con-
torted, and published to the world, as
true. If the editor of the Teller has
any proof that any one of the delegates
whose names appeared on the McGre-
gor ticket, had any connection what
ever with "a scheme to give Grant
county away to any plumber politici-
ans, let him publish the name and
his source of knowledge, not hearsay
however, but proof. Let him expose
the great scheme and lay bare the
secret intrigues of the man or men
who intended to deliver Grant county
to some pinery plumber or any other
person. All attempting perpetrators
of such schemes should be exposed
and their names, and manner of con-
Quoting their nefarious ways and
means published to the people of this
county, in order to guard against flu
ture attempt on his or their part to
sell the people.
In the same issue was an attempt to
whitewash Judge Clark's action and
vote in the caucus. 1t was miser-
able abortive failure of an excuse to
to suggest that Judge Clark should
not be censured for favoring Mr.. Me-
Gregor.n Such suggestion from the
source from which it came is prepos-
ferrous. How kind and forbearing of
Mr. Pollock, to suggest to his readers,
not to censure Judge Clark but to
be kind and forebearing to him, for
"he had good ground for his stand
ing, and again there should not be
any unkind criticism of his course
What an amount of christian charity
ii must have taken to inject these
charitable sentences in the copy.
Gosh! 1t must have forced the pers-
piration out of the editors forehead
in streams as strong as the Griswold
spring, TO work himself into such a
state of sympathy. 1t was ridicul-
Gus farcial display of sympathy which
gentleman like Mr.. Clark would
spurn and detest. do not think that
Mr.. Clark needed All apology for what
he said or did in the caucus. He was
honest ana frank in his remark. He
said and did what any free American
citizen, had right to say, or do, with
out meriting censure. Why was.an
excuse necessary Barring myself. and
Notwithstanding the Teller's insinua-
tions that they were IN the ring to
deliver Grant county to some I'M
known rascal or plunderer. there
we're other gentlemen on the McGreg-
or ticket, | believe. Besides those
who cast ballots for McGregcr dele
gates, were of course"all in the ring
| TO deliver Grant county. Ugh! What
lot Of bad people we must have in
Lancaster. That is if the Teller
representation could be taken as
true. In the town Of Lancaster WHERE
all these gentlemen are known. 20

As general rule all ante-election
contests among republicans should be
dropped as soon as the majority have
expressed their will. The McGregor
-LaFollette campaign in this county
would not again be referred to, were
it not for the base and slanderous
charge and insinuations in the Teller
of last week. This exhibition of viii
lainy on the part Of the Teller editor
would not need notice, perhaps, wele
it not that in posing as a LaFollette
supporter he attempts, for the time
being, to claim the company of honest
men and so to gain credence to his
calumnies that otherwise would not
be read We charge as false that the
HERALD's support Of McGregor was in
the interest Of any candidate except
Mr.. McGregor himself or that there
was .HERALD's scheme of any
kind or for any purpose unless the
honest and open support of that gem
tleman for governor be called a
scheme. If the Teller man has any
information to prove his assertions,
let him produce it. He must do so or
stand before the public as a self-con-
victed liar and slanderer. unworthy
the respect of any man who believes
in honesty and fairdealing.
