The New Governor.

(FrOm the MILWAUKEE, Free Press OF
January 2, 1860
Governors cornv. and governors go,
hut the government at Madison goes
On forever.
James o. Davidson, elected by the
people Of this commonwealth for just
such an emergency as arose at noon
yesterday, when by reason of his res
ignation of the office Of governor Rob
ert M. La Toilette vacated the office,
took the prescribed oath and became
in fact governor for the residue OF
the present term-which Is to say,
for one year.
Gov. Davidson is not an experiment,
and he is no novice in public affairs.
Has had experience in the office OF
treasurer for four years; has been
president of the senate during 1.-TWO
long and important sessions OF the
legislature, AMI discharge the duties
of the office of governor during the
past summer and autumn, and has
made no mistakes. He comes to the
discharge of his present powers and
duties as we'll equipped, to say the
least, as any new governor could at
the beginning of the tedm. He is
wholly familiar with the business OF
the state in all of it's departments.
And James o. Davidson is an hon
est man. and a peoples man. There
need be no c..xioty about the en-
forcement of the laws-the old ones
and those that bear recent date The
corporations are not going to run
away with the state-and they are
going to pay their taxes and obey the
laws.
The state is better worth governing
than it was five years ago yesterday,
when Gov. La Toilette took the oath
office. and the lew governor has
done a mans part in making it SO.
Success to him, and happy and
useful administration!

are known to stand for the principles
for which the people have contend
ed.
Will Stand by Principles.
THE state platforms Of the repub-
lican party have, for the past eight
years, had my hearty approval and
support, and, if elected governor, it
will be my earnest effort to main
tain those principles and secure their
practical enforcement
Our Splendid Commonwealth.
Wisconsin is a great state; in it's
recent struggle for better govern
ment it has arrested the attention OF
the union. Let us unite in our efforts
for still further progress until every
department of our state government,
and every county apd city in our COM
monwealth will be wisely, honestly
and economically conducted as any
private business enterprise within our
borders.
Fair Play and an Open Contest.
candidates for the governorship
and other places on the state ticket
have already entered the field, and
other announcements will doubtless
be made. Such action is entirely
proper in order that the people may
have the largest freedom of choice in
the selection of their candidates. For
each and all of these gentlemen l
have the highest esteem, and what
ever may be the result, | shall harbor
no resentments, and shall heartily
support the ticket receiving the high
est number of votes at the primary
election. I have entered into no COM
binations with others, and shall, II
nominated and elected, be unhamper-
ed in my efforts to advance the cause
of good government. With malice
toward none and charity for ALL I
submit my candidacy to the judg-
ment of the masses of the republican
party in Wisconsin.
His Time Belongs to- State.
: my time will be principally occu-
pieed IN the discharge of my official
duties, and l must of necessity rely
largely upon my friends throughout
the state to carry to successful fin
ish the campaign upon which we are
now entering.
Appreciates Confidence of People
'For the confidence reposed in me
in the past by the people of Wiscon-
sin, tender grateful thanks and as
sure them that I am their choice to
become my own successor as govern
or, whatever ability God has given me
will be wholly devoted to the public
service"

TOO MUCH ENTHUSIASM

FEE Press. There is the Plymouth
Reporter, the editor of which is hold
ing down a position on the state civil
service commission, permitting its
zeal to run away with it's better judg-
ment in the matter of taking sides
between Gov Davidson and Speaker
Lenroot, in the contest for the gu
bernatorial nomination.
1t can not be good policy for any
regular organization republican or
any regular organization republican
newspaper to asail in a personal and
offensive manner either of these can
didates.
Voters and newspapers that have
supported the movement in which
these two men have borne honorable
yarts may, and some of these will
become the partisan supporters of
one or the other; but there is no ex-
cuse for bitterness, or for saying
things about either of them now that
nobody would have thought of say
ing two years ago.
So when the Plymouth paper pic
lures Gov. Davidson as a man who
"has back of him the enemies of SEN
ator La Toilette and his principles"
and then declares that Every vote
cast for such a candidate is a direct
slap at the senator, and it can not
be anything else, it is permitting it's
senses to get away from it.
Suppose Gov. Davidson is renomi-
mated, as some people imagine he will
be, then what is to be done? Are we
to acknowledge after the primary
election that he is a stalwart and
that all the votes that were cast for
him we're so many slaps at Senator
La Toilette and at the principles for
which he stands? That. would mean
that large number of republicans
who have been friends and support
ers of the senator in the, past and
whom we know are his friends and
supporters now have repudiated him
end repudiated their own past &C
lions.
We are sure the senator will not
agree to abide by any such judgment
as this concerning the signers to the
recent address to voters that was
sent out in the interests Of Gov. Da-
wilson.
Let's have al. this intensity of feel
ing and all of the bitterness that is
coming into the party and all of
insinuations that this or that hither-
to true and honest man is not to De
trusted now merely because he does
not want what we want, cut out of
the campaign. If there was anything
pending of more Importance than the
decision as to which of the two tried
and true friends of what we all stand
for and what we al believe in, shall
be nominated for governor there
would be none of this unpleasantness
and none of this dangerous giving
way to such unreason as that mani
tested in the Plymouth paper, which
heartily supported Mr.. Davidson two
years ago when he was a candidate
for lieutenant governor.
We do not believe that any man in
the party believes that either of these
men is unworthy of the confidence
that has been given him in the past
OF that any interest of the state will
be endangered in the election of
either to be governor.
If we are correct in this belief, then
what a mistake it must be to pretend
otherwise. Let's cut that all out from
row on.

A Summer Jingle.

When wintry winds were BLOWN.
Prayed for summer, high an lowj
But now that summers with US,
Lord, give us hills of snow!
We sighed for pleasant pastures
For fields of burning heat;
But now that we have reached 'em.
We're hollerin' for sleet!
And take the blistering meadows
And all the joys they know,
For rivers frozen over,
And barren wastes OF snow!

OPPOSES THE CHURCH UNION.
Rev. DR.. Grouse Gives His Reasons for OPP
posing the Church Union Talk.

At the opening of the Methodist Protestant
conference in Baltimore, last Wednesday,
Rev. Dr. 7. 0. Grouse preached striking
sermon, in which he took stand against the
cry for a union of churches. DR.. Grouse is
native of Westminster, son of the late Rev.
WIN. A Grouse, and as both are so well and
favor;lbly known in this county, we give the
following summary of his sermon
1t was after he had pointed out that modern
thought puts emphasis on Jesus as teacher ana re.
former and lays less stress upon his godneSs that
DR.. Grouse spoke of the need of the church for a
capiated body From this point he proceeded to
express his stand on church unity, which phrase,
he declared by most of those that camor for II Is
confused with ecclesiastical uniformity.
To those who look upon things from the outside
merely it may that there are radical and ire
concilabe divisions in the church said the preach
er. which is said III the way of regret and cOndem-
nation respecting those numerous divisions. some
good people desire to see, amt even hope for, u
fusion of all denominations into one great eccesi-
astical organization, having the same form OF wor
ship and holding precisely the sane governmental
discipline This is their idea of Christ an unity.
They cannot discriminate between un tprmlty ana
unity. Uniformity, the word clearly indicates,
relates particularly to outward form, to
in appearance and manner: 1t Is a matter OF reguI
latiouS and restrictions and may be more thing OF
outward sameness than of vital and inward reality
Unity on the other hand, relates specifically 10
the sentiments, aims and purposes of two or more
persons There may be uniformity in customs; Ger
emonles and religious practices where tnere Is tte
or even unity Of spirit on the other mana .
there may be entire unity OF sentiment and purpose
where there is a wide diversity of outward regnia-
ton aad custom. An army may be divided into
many distinct parts each using different style OF
weapon, drilling under different system OF t4cucs
and each wearing a dress peculiar to Itself Iherc
may be the apOns and tactics Of the Infantry OF
The cavalry md of the artillery. There is manifest
want OF uniformity here. Yet THERE may be the
most complete unity; its separate divisions carry
the same ensign, move AT the command OF the chiei
against one common foe or in defense Of the one
common country
L am not prepared to Justify defend all the
deuominatio divisions of the visible church.
some Of these may have little reason for their Ses-
rate existence and their separation may b. In uAn
insta noes uujustifAhle AMI source OF weakness M
the general church. But on the other hand. have
no sympathy with those who Clamov for the union
OF churches from an overweenlug desire for some
thing big.
