Indeed it is The success of the Liberal tieEE
ct is decreed. What follows hereafter will be


the mere forms of the consummatioq. Balti-

only be the expression of the general joy on the


occasion of the new dispensaton already mani

There can be no mistake in the signs of the


times The ball rolls steadily on The mutual
desire of the sections for harmony and brother


ly relations is undoubted. They are rushing
towards each other as do bodies towards vac


uum. There was a vacuum in the body polite
which was incompatible with its existence, and
to preserve the life of the nation that vacuum


must be filled, and the Liberal ticket is about
to fill it entirely. This it is which assures peo-
pie everywhere of the happy results of the Gin
cinnati movement. There was bloody sacrifice

carniyori who then tasted of the blood have


possession of the Government, and with them


war, that gave them blood, must be continued


to satisfy their greed. 1t becomes now indis-

they have only learned in war to continue a

upon which they lived and tattened, break up
the corrupt rings and corrupt practices of the

We are gratifed to see that the Baltimore
Gazette which has heretofore advocated the
nomination of third ticket, will give Greeley
an earnest support. Under the above caption,
in its issue of the 18th ult., it has an earnest
article urging the Democrats to be united to a
man, In support of the candidate opposed to
Grant. 1t says:


''In the face of such an adversary as we have
| to encounter, it would be the sheerest mid
summer madness to go into the contest with
gaps in our ranks. We shall need every man
we can muster. We shall need the most
thorough organization, and we shall need above
all, the most perfect harmony and accord and
the most active and energetic exertions, both
Individually and collectively.


The issue at stake is the grandest that ever
appealed to the patriotism of a free people,
1t is the deliverance of the Republic from
tyranny and oppression, and the rescue of the
States from those usurpatlons of authority that
would destroy their local independence and
make them yassals of great and overshadcw-
ing Despotisan.


Against this faction, (the Radical party
with its machinery for mischief, its banded
merc.naries, and its plans for subverting the
principles upon which the Government was
found ed 1t Is the duty OF every DemOcrat 1t
to offer unyielding resistance by his voice, by
active personal exertions, and by the silent bu
potential influence of his vote.


Whatever difference of opinion there may be
in res Ioeot to the candidates set up in opposi
ton to the unscrupulous faction that now rules
and revels at Washington, there ought to be ne
difference as to the course that it is incumbent
upon all Democrats to pursue. 1t Is to sink al
minor issues, and, In noble spirit of self-abne
Cation, rise to the height of the occasion. There
should be no faltering now, no hesitancy, NJ
breaking ranks. -Four years more Of Gran
and Grantism would be ruinous to the prosper
ity of the country and dangerous, If not fatal
to the liberties of the people. If our party pre-
serve It's organization intact; if it enter upor
the contest with solid front, and with every
man it can muster at his post; if it will welcome
auxiiaries, ready to do battle in the same cause
and animated by the same spirit, and if, in th'
presence Of great peril, it shows itself toieran
of unac customed leadership, looking less tt
party distinctions than to the end to be achlev
ed, it Is within its power to win such victor

WHY DO CHILDREN DIE?-In answer to
to this question, the Medical Recorder holds
the following language:


The reason why children die, is because they
are not taken care of. From the day of birth
they are stuffed with water, sufocated in hot
rooms and steamed in hot bed clothes. So
much for indoor. When permitted to breathe
a breath of pure air once a week in Summer,
and once or twice during the colder months,
only the nose is permitted to peer into day
light. A little later they are sent out with no
clothes at all on the parts of the body which
most need protection. Bare legs, bare arms,
bare necks, girted middles, with an inverted
umbrella to air and chill the other parts of the
body. A stout, strong man goes out on cold
day with gloves and overcoat, wooen stockings,
and thick double-soled boots, with cork between
and ru6bers over. The same day child of
three years old, an infant of flesh and blood,
bone and constitution, goes out with shoes as
thin as paper cotton socks, legs uncovered to
the knees, neck bare, an exposure which would
disable the nurse, kill the mother outright and
make the father an invalid for weeks. And
why to harden them to mode of dress which
they are never expected to. practice TO ac-
custom them to exposure which dozen years
later would be considered downright foolery.
To rear children for the slaughter pen, and
then lay it to the Lord, is too bad. We don't
think the Almighty had any hand In it.

| Gentlemen Of the Senate and assembly:
The people of the State of Wisconsin, having called
me to the service of their chief executive j appear
before you in accordance with custom that has

ment.


The constitution imposes upon The Governor The
dutS of communicating to the Legislature the con-
dition of the state, and recommending such legsIa-
ton as to him may expedent aud called for by
The public welfare.


In proceeding TO discharge that duty am deeply
impressed with the responsibilities of my position
With gratitude tie most profound and sincere to-
wards the people of the state for the confidence re-
posed in me, and determination to devote my best
efforts to their service, approach the duties that
belong to me with feelings OF dstrust and embarras-
ment.


Succeeding in This high office a gentleman who has
administered its duties for loDgcr period than any
of his predecessors and who left it enjoying the
highest degree the confidence and good will of the
people, shall regard myself exceedingly fortu
naic, if, at the expiration of my term cf service

While pesilence and famine have dcsoated 9th
nations, the year just ended has been one of
general health in our state, and marked with de
gree of prosperity equal to any that has preceded
it; and saving only one great calamity that has
befalen one section of it, the people have great
cause of thankFulncss to the Author of every good
and perfect gift.


The abundant returns of agriculture have not
only been equal to all the wants of our people,
but have furnished large surplus with which 10
supply others and less favored peoples.


Our manufacturing industries have steadily in
creased, and our commerce has suffered no abate
mcnt, while many portions of the state, heretofore
quite inaccessible, have been opened up by rail-
roads to easy access and development.


The laws have been faithfully executed and the
rights of all D Cserved and maintained.


The cause of education has been constantly
progressive, and noble institutions of public
charity have brought relief and ministered TO the
comfors of many who in the inscrutabc DrOy-
dence of God, have been deprived of their reason
or the faculties Of hearing and sight.


But without further retrospect, | proceed to a
more detailed exposition of the condition of the
state.

State Treasurer, it appears that the balance in the

effects that grow out of this pernicOus system of as

regulating the duties of assessors, and thor

assessessment should be required, that boards of
equalization more fully correct the erroneous
assessment of the town officers.
