Year: 1869

There are certain kinds of men in this
straDge world, who, when once started on
. particular course, cannot be turned aside,
or checked by any means short of literal
death. Thousands of just such men will
vote the straight Republican ticket next
Tuesday. They either will not for a mo-
msnt admit, that it is possible that they
are supporting a wrong, or, knowing that
they are wrong are too headstrong and
wi.lful to turn from their erroneous path.
Such men think more of their party, than
they do of their purse.


There is another set of men, who will
vote the Republican ticket next Tuesday,
from conscientious motives. They really
believe that the Republican party contains
all the virtue. loyalty and honesty in the
country. They have read about the cor
ruption, stealing and dishonesty of the Re-
publican State rulers, but they believe it
10 oil Democratic lie" They love their
purse more than they do their party, aud
would abandon their party, if they only
I .new that their party cost them more mon
ey than was necessary. And SO they stick
: to their old party. 1t will be ten years be-
fore that class OF men will get their eyet
open. Poor souls, 'they believe a LIE, that
they may be damned "Let them alone,
for they know not what they do
There is still another class of men, who
care nothing for party-men who care more
for their own good, and the good of the
State and country than they do for any
party. This class Of men hold the liberties
and the prosperity of this country in their
own hands; they are the balance of pow
err When the officers they have helped to
elect, violate their trusts, these men always
unite With the minority party, to depose
them, and put honest and capable officers
la their place and these men are not slow
to discover the failings of public officers.
Have We enough such men in the State of
Wisconsin, to save our State from two
years more of misruls? We believe We
have. We believe that there are hundreds
upon hundreds of men in Wisconsin, who
have made up their minds, that the Re-
publican party has been in power long
enough for the good of the State, and 50
believing, they will vote the Democratic
ticket next Tuesday. If they do not, then
certainly reason hath lost her throne. -
OF oas thing we can assure them and
their rabid, radical leaders, that is, Dem>
ocrats can stand it, to be rotbe as long as
you can.


Madison Regency come soon. We ask
conservative, honest men to help US end it.
1t is the absolute monarch of the Repub-
lican party in this State, and it has been
proven TO be corrupt and dishonest, and
unworthy the support of good men. Why
then, should they be continued in power2
The Democratic party have placed in nom
instion only good men for State officers ir-
reproachable in integrity, ability and hon
esty.


''In flying from the ills you have"


If you find upon trial that 'you have
flown to others that you knew not Of you
can easily abandon us; and the lesson you
have in the meantime taught the Repub
lican party, will not hurt you, or it, in the
lsast-


One million of dollars is too much for
the little State of Wisconsin to expend in
one year for governmental purposes. We
would advocate the defeat of Democr attic
administration, if they could not gat along
with half of that amount


You men, who love your country and
sour purse better than you do your party,
give US your vote next Tuesday. Ifyou do
not, do not complain when the tax gather
er calls for your last COW.


IF you SOW the wind, you will reap
the whirlwind If you give the key of
your money drawer to robber, you must
expect to be robbed. Elect the Madison
Regency to Office again, then scratch for
money TO pay the merciless taxes they will
impose upon you.
