CINCINNATI Oct. 4.


To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette


Having thought reform was necessary
in the affairs of our general government,
[ was one Of the first in Michigan to com
ply with the request of the Missouri re-
formers for mass convention to be held
at Cincinnat lsst May. With my ideas
of reform, [ went into the convention as
delegate from Michigan strongly in
favor of Charles Francis Adams and Ly-
man Trumbull. Since that time | am
satisfied the reform is on the other hand,
aud that we have been sold out to the
Democratic party. Myself, together
with several of our old line Republicans,
have come to the conclusion that We can
not support the Liberal movement. Ii
was altogether too corrupt for Us in the
outset. The associations for old line
Republicans are not suited to our taste.
The course of the leaders has been, since
the organizations of the Liberal party,


one general course of corruption, and one
calculated to build Up the old Democrat
ic party. We are required to join hands
with every traitor Of the South and every
blackleg of the North. We are required
to sit still and hear the men, who turned
a cold shoulder upon our loyal soldiers
during the war, say all manner of evil
against Gen. Grant. and one Of the bast
parties that we ever had in America

L will not be lifted to state of perfec-
ton. but will incur no new peril. The
Administration Of Grant will make no
rash experiments on our finances and
our dangerously expanded currency.
The public credit will be safe. The
country will have security from foreign
wars, fllibustering attempts and domes-
tic violence. The constitutional Office OF
the President will remain intact, to be
used to protect the public credit and
treasury from hostile legislation and the
boundless Southern claims growing out
Of the war Reconciliation will be es
tablished on the only possible terms,
submission to equal laws. There will be
that public confidence which is requisite
to the expanded trade and credit of civil
lization, and which is vital need in
our financial currency and banking situa
ton and the country will have as much
currency reform, tariff reform, and civil
service reform as Congress and popular
opinion will support"

1t is with pleasure that We present be
low the letter of Hon. Henry B3tz, in
response to the one officially notifying
him of his nomination for member oi
Congress from this, the Fifth Congress
ional District. MIR Batz was our first
choice for this nominatian, We have
known him personally for several year,
and that knowledge has shown him tc
and his private and public life bear the
impress OF its unfoldment. He is mau
of good ability, with decidedly prac-
tical cast OF mind courteous in his bear
ings, thoroughly honest. and possesses
the full confidence of all who know him.


His letter Of acceptance IN Itself bears
evidence of the true worth of the man
and how great the contrast between Its
modest, self-estimating spirit and that
of Carl Schurz, who pompously boasted
that he carried the German vote Of the
country in his pocket" +" In this parti
cuar Major Baetz-who bears the scars
of the honorable wounds received in the
service of his adopted country-is very
much like our modest, quiet but force
full soldier President, Gen. Grant.


Though a resident OF Manltowoc,
which may in some sense be considered
a rival applicant for Congressional ia
yors, yet our implicit faith in Major
Batz' love Of Justice and integrity OF
character, is such, that we firmly be-
lieve that, if elected, Sheboygan inter
ests would receive at his hands
equal and impartial governmental aid,
in SO far as he could control such aid for
either point.


With this estimate of B8tz' character
we hope to see Sheboygan county roll
up for him, op the fifth of November, a
majority of at least 500 votes.

that in death they will not be divided Voorhees, has
already received his quetus and Eldredge shaking
in his boots for fear of a similar result Indeed
since the nomination of Major Betz and the rushing
tide of Republican enthusiasm that is sweepiu .
over the land, our friends in the Fifth District are
greatly inspired with the hope of success. The dis
trict at present constituted embraces Dodge Fond
du Lac, Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties, all of
which have been repeatedly carried by the Repub-

past may again be done now, when the note ofvicto

looked for in districts that usually Democratic.

y ENTUCKIAN and Yankee were
riding through the woods, the former
on fine black horse, and the Yankee
on an inferior animal. The latter
wanted to mako swap but he did
not see how he was to do it. Al last he
thought of plan.


His horse had been taught to sit down
like a dog whenever he was touched
with the spurs. Seeing wild turkey
the Yankee made his horse perform
this trick, and asserted that he was
pointing game as was his custom. The
Kentuckian rode in the direction indi.
Gated by the horses nose, and up rose a
turkey. That settled the matter; the
trade was made, and the saddles and
horses were exchanged. After time
they came to deep and rapid stream,
over which the black horse carried his
rider with ease. But the Kentuckian
on the Yankees old beast, found
great difficulty in getting over, and
when he had reached the middle
of the stream he was afraid the horse
would allow himself to be carried away,
and so endeavored to spur him up tc
more vigorous action. Down sat the
old horse on his launches.


Look here y shouted the enraged and
partially submerged Kentuckian tC

The method of making mainsprings
for watches as practiced in New York
and other large cities, is first to cut up
steel of necessary thickness into strips
of the necessary breadth. These strips
are then fastened by the ends in long
horizontal frame and the edges and
sides Of the steel are smoothed by pol
ishers fastened between two sticks and
worked by hand lengthwise on the
steel, from the one end of the frame TO
the other. After being prepared in this
manner the steel is wound closely
round wooden centre, in the same
manner as a ribbon is wound on small
block, and in the process of winding
one end of each strip of steel is fastened
to the end of another, and a number of
lengths being coiled one on top of the
other. The roll of steel is then put into
a furnace, the necessary heat applied,
and the hot steel suddenly plunged into
oil. In this condition, although the
steel is hard, there is certain amount
of hexibility to 1t, just the Same as
very thin and narrow strip Of glass in
elastic, which prevents the steel from
breaking when the surface is being pre-
pared for blueing, and which is done is
something the same manner as smooth
ing the steel in the first instance, only
finer polishing materials are used. The
blueing is done by drawing the steel in
straight lengths over an alcohol lamp or
a hot piece of metal, which renders it
perfectly elastic, and afterwards it is
cut to the proper lengths and the eyes
for the hooks put in, and then coiled
into spiral form on a tool, the
same in principle as the tool used by
watchmakers in putting mainsprings
in their barrel or boxes. chronological

These candidates must combine all the

not offend the prejudices of any class OF

principles. They must not have the repu-

known and popular in all parts Of the
State. They must be men whose names
will at once conciliate the conservative Re-
publicars as well as conservative Demo-
Gratis. They must be men at whose names
capital will not take alarm nor labor take
alarm. They must be men who will disarm
sectional prejudice, and give confidence to

affairs. They must be prudent, sagacious,
able men, who will know how to bridge

A political wiseacre has discovered a
way by which the political millennium can
be brought around without any further
ado The Picay.ne is in ecstacies with
the idea, and exultingly adopts it as the
great panacea, applicable to the political
distemper. Here it is:


To drop tropes and figures, we believe
that in the present political fight perfect
union of all parties is necessary to success.
Here's wisdom for you. Who can doubt
that success would attend a perfect union
of all parties? Such combination would
be perfectly invincible The Reformer
and the Customhouse employe would low
ingly contend for the palm Of zeal in the
good work Of ''going for Grant" The
Republicans and Democrats, being parties
to the happy arrangement, would walk up
to the polls arm in arm and vote for any
body or any measure, in order not to mar
the harmony of the newborn occasion.
This is just what We expected of the Pica-
yu,.e-that it would use its immense in
fuence to bring about the millennium: and
sure enough, it has precipitated al dis
order and allayed all political contentious
by getting every mothers soul of US into
one great and savory mince pie or rum
jamboree.


Since all men are to be united and har-
nlonious hereafter, the Picayuae can not
expect tha. the existing order Of affairs
will be altered in any manner, for the
mere suggestion Of such design viii
certainly disturb the serenity Of the camp.
Each man is now supposed to have but
one thought, and that is in unison with
the though Of his neighbor. We are to
have no more quarreling as to who shall
be Governor, Senator, Representatives,
members of the Legislature, or anything
else. If this condition of quietude is not
maintained the entire programme is liable
to boil over and put out the fire. The
Picaspne must cease its scandalous i'm
putation Of bad motives and worse as
tons to men with whom it proposes to
act in union, and the answer to all in
quirers must be that everything is lovely
and the goose exceedingly elevated.
Every political question is now put away
in order to save disputes, and the country
is to be saved by united fight for victory
by everybody, without regard to race,
color, or previous condition" This is the
easiest way to do it that has yet been
presented, and barring the difficulties of
deciding how all the details are to be ad-
justed that must necessarily arise, there is
nothing in the world to prevent the settle
ment from being most happy and de-
cided one.

Possibly it will be necessary to go out OF

And then they would run the risk OF not

VIII not be regarded as Democratic TIL
umph, and the carpe.-baggers ''wil not

nently, as the Bee generously declares IN

When this famous combination Of char
acters is found, and ''the perfect union OF
all parties is completed, there will be

Ecans, the Reformers, the ultra Democrats
and the Customhouse ring will quietly

Of the time when the Democrats will be
able to drive Republicans from this State:


The success of the Democracy means a
hegira from Louisiana Of the whole carpet
bag element to healthier climates. They
know they can not remain here.


In the eyes Of the Bee and the narrow
minded, proscriptive faction Of the De-
Inocracy to which it belongs, every man
who has political opinion, not obtained
from a convention platform, is either a
carr et-bagger, a scalawag or a traitor to
the South. 1t is the old game of intimida-
ton revived, that illiberal and wickedly
short-sighted policy which prevailed ten
or fifteen years ago, and which cost Lou
isiana half its property and the lives Of
thousands OF our best men. We do not
intend to permit a return Of such rule.
We have seen it demonstrated that it did
not pay to run American, citizens out Of
an American city. They do not stay out,
but come back strong enough to become
rulers Besides, the true policy of our
people is to invite the citizens of other
States to come here, and induce them to
stay. We have 10 use for Chinese wall
down here. and no right to regard
the other States as penal colonies for
the deportation Of enterprising men who
work while we sleep, and offend US by
their success.
