-
The Democratic leaders in this State
seem to have given up all hope of suc
cess either by a coalition with the
Greenbackers or with a straight tick
et, and in their despair are talking up
the project of a People's ticket.
—
Col. Calkins, who has never been ac
cused of any great degree of love for
Republicans, in speaking of the late
Republican State Convention, says'
that “It was a body of gentlemen
which would do credit to any party,
pastor present.”
Not a dollar in gold was paid out of
the United States treasury last month
for the redemption of called bonds,
the holders preferringgreenbacks. If
Congress will refuse to meddle with
the financial q-.estion Sherman will
have no dilficutty in maintaining re
sumption.
Gen. Ewing is not getting on so well
as he had hoped to do in his campaign
in Ohio against Foster. The campaign
fund is not so great as he could have
desired, and besides the jealousy of
Thurman is a source of annoyance to
him as Thurman would readily sacri
fice the State ticket to gain the legis
lature.
Buick Pomeroy is now the recognized
leader of the Greenback party in Wis
consin, and we miss our guess if many
of the Republican Greenbackers of
the Badger State do not refuse to fol
low the lead of such a notorious con
federate sympathizer as during the
war he abundantly proved himself to
be.
The conversion of opposition news
papers to the Republican faith does
not seem to be confined to 'Wisconsin
alone. The Belfast Journal, the lead
ing Democratic journal in Maine, pulls
down the coalition opposition ticket
and hoists in its place the Republican
ticket, and is followed in its action by
the Aroostock Sunrise, which docs
the same thing.
Thu hearty endorsement given the
Republican State ticket by those Re
publican papers who favored the nom
ination of Mr. Ludington is an encour
aging assurance that the party is not
in the least distracted by internal dis
sensions, and that the friends of that
gentleman appreciate the importance
of subordinating their personal pref
erences for a united effort in the inter
est of our common country.
The Charleston News defines one of
the most important issues before the
people in the following language:
“The most important and the most
dangerous idea that the Democratic
party will have to light in the, coming
campaign will be the claim that this
country is not a Confederation, but a
Nation, and that the constitutional
doctrine of State rights was abolished
by the war and is now absolute.”
That is exactly the issue that has been
made by the Southern Democrats in
Congress joined by their Northern al
lies. and the one upon which the Re
publican party will confidently ap
peal to the people.
As Indiana Democrat who desired
“a position at the capitol” in Wash
ington requested a Democratic friend
to exert his influence in his behalf
among Democratic Senators, basing his
claim for recognition upon the fact
that he had been a Union soldier. After
“looking the critter over” Ins friend
wrote his observations relative to his
chances for success aud among other
things said: Tn the first place the
simple fact of your having been in ac
tive service in the Union army would
be against you. It is a fact, 1 fear, as
has been charged by your opponents,
that there is only one army service
that commends a man to the congres
sional democracy, and that is having
been a confederate. It is a fact, 1
know, that it is sheerest nonsense to
base any chum upon having been a
Union soldier. Why, my dear fellow,
they’d laugh at you! There is no sol
dier known by our present party here
but the confederate soldier!” And
yet. in the pending campaign, the loy-
I al soldier of Wisconsin, will be implor
ed to vote the ticket representing that
party which, controlling both Houses
of Congress, prefers confederate to,
Union soldiers in the distribution of
its official patronage.
DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS GF THE ST. CROIX VALLEY.
RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY. AUGUST 7.1879.
HKPUBI.XCAN platform.
The following is Luc sound and pat
riotic det I nation of principles of the
Republican party of Wisconsin made
in State Convention ou the 23d nil.:
The Republicans ol Wisconsin, by their rep
resentatives assembled in state convention,
declare their adhesion to the lollowing
propositions:
First—The Republic ot the United States is
a nation,not aconfedt racy ot sovereign slates,
and its government is clothed with para
mount authority for the regulation oi uli sub
jects i uatioiiul coi.ceiu.
Second —The election ol memls rs of con
gress are nationnl elections, and as such tin
whole country is interested ill having them
fairly amt peaceiully conducted so that every
voter may be aUordcd an i.ppuitumty to ex
ercise Ins right ot suiirage lively and without
leer ol personal viol'iicm; to vote once and
only oine, at a given e lection, and to have
his'vote honestly counted and returned. It
is the duty ot the national government to en
force this right. The Republican party is op
posed to any military interference w ith elec
tions, except when it is necessary to main
tain the public peace and protect the consti
tutional rights ot citizens. In no instance
under a Republican administration have
United States troops iuterlerred witli Hu- ex
ercise ot bee sulfrage on the part ot Hie peo
ple. The Democratic party, by the repeated
votes ot its representatives in congress
against the proposition to prohibit the pres
ence in the i iciiiity ol tin- polls, not only oi
United States troops, but ot ali men mined
with deadly weapons, has clearly shown the
bad taitli and hyjaicrtsy ot its affected horror
ol bayonets at the polls. It would permit an
armed mob ol its own partisans to surround
the ballot box, but would prohibit the em
ployment ot United States soldiers to protect
peaceful citizens from intimidation and vio
lence at the hands of the mob.
Third—The refusal oi a mere majority in
congress to make appropriations oi tuuiiey
already collected by tax Irom the people lor
the ordinary Mid legitimate expenses of the
government, with the purpose ot Compelling
the piesident by such refusal to approve
measures which lie regards as unwise and
wrong, is revolutionary in principle, subver
sive o the constitution, and deserving the
condemnation of all good citizens.
Fourth—The practice ot attaching w hat
ale popularly termed •‘political riders” to
approfiriatiou bills is vicious legislation and
should be prohibited.
Fifth—The thaiiKs and grateful recognition
ol the people are due to President llayes and
to the Republican members ot congress lor
their firm and successful resistance to the
attempts made by the Democratic party to
disarm the national government on election
days, and to repeal ail laws tor protecting the
purity ot the bollot box, and providing loi
the detection and punishment oi fraudulent
voting.
Sixth—The successful resumption ot specie
payment lias vindicated the wisdom ol the
Republican policy on that subject,,and allwrd
ed a signal illustration oi the lack ot honesty
and ot statesmanship which led the Demo
cratic party to oppose resumption and to de
clare that it was impossible. It has already
borne precious fruits in enabling the govern
ment to fund its debt at 4 per cent, interest—
an economy ot many millions jx-r annum—
and in promoting a feeling of confidence and
Security that is already giving a powerful im
pulse to all business and industrial enter
prises. The interests oi all classes of people
are best promoted by a currency possessing or
representing intrinsic value, such as we have
at present and bearing a fixed relation to the
world s money ot commerce. All attempts
to modify existing laws in a way to introduce
depressions or fluctuations in the value oi
the money ot the country, should meet with
a firm and determined resistance.
Seventh—That it is the duty of Congress to
enact laws to carry out the provisions of the
constitution with its amendments,and secure
ty the people of the states the rights guaran
teed by it; and that laws, when enacted, are
supreme and must be obeyed and enforced;
and the recent attempts ot the Democratic
congress to repeal amt strike from the statute
books such laws, some of which were placed
there by our fathers, and have been enforced
nearly a century, has no parallel in the his
tory of the country.
Eight—That our government and state offi
cers are entitled to the thanks ami approval
of the jieople lor their wise and faithful ad
ministration ol the public trusts committed
to them.
The Madison Democrat is greatly ex
ercised over the charge that the doc
trine of State rights is being taught in
the State University, and the State
Journal as a friend to the University
deeply deplores the circulation of such
a damaging rumor. In a very clever
way the State Journal editor, to his
satisfaction, if not to the satisfaction
of others, has been convinced that
there is no tenable ground for such a
charge, but to the Democrat man this
matter possesses a sort of family as
well as political interest in conse
quence of which he is “making Rome
howl” in his efforts to secure a con
vincing refutation of tlie same. The
origin of the allegation in question
lias been concisely stated as follows:
“At the recent examination of the
graduating class, answers were given
to questions relating to State and na
tional authority, which would have
found echo in the heart of every un
reconstructed rebel, and which were
the cause of astonishment and dismay
to some of those, present, and furnish
ed a subject for serious consideration
afterwards among prominent citizens
of the State, who were at that time in
Madison.” The answers indicated
would certainly evince an inculcation
of the pernicious doctrine of State
sovereignty, or what would be equal
ly discreditable to the Professor of
Political Economy in that institution,
a lack of ability on his part to proper
ly fill the station assigned him. The
chair of Professor of Civil Polity
and Political Economy is filled by J.
B. Parkinson, a bitter Democratic
partisan, promoted to his present-po
sition from the editorial corps of the
Madison Democrat, and enjoys the
doubtful honor of being a brother of
the pugnacious individual who now
controls the editorial columns of that
rebel-sympathizing sheet. The Uni
versity Regents owe to the people of
Wisconsin a thorough investigation of
the charge, and if the same is sustain
ed by facts Prof. Pat kinso’n should be
bounced and a scholar rather than a
politician installed m bis stead.
—__
The Black River Falls Independent,
formerly a Greenback paper, has this
to say upon the renommation of the
present State officers: “No man has
been found in either the Democratic er
Greenback party who can find any cause
of complaint against any of our pres
ent State officers. It is conceded by
all intelligent citizens that our present
State officers have faithfully discharg
ed their several trusts, and their re
election is a foregone conclusion. Jack
sou county will endorse our Stale tick
et by overlive hundred majority.”

Mina t'Aiu’ENT.at, in her own distiicl,
Salem, disappointed us favorably, the
mote so, because success at home the
first term is not the rule, and we, al
ways discourage one from trying, es
pecially the first time, the school they
have attended. Hard work and con
stant thought, secured good dicipiine
and order in movement. Among the
points of special merit, we noted dec
lamations, gymnastics, general exer
cise in physiology, correct seating, and
good position of writing class.
When a teacher tells us tliat lie is
thorough ami we learn that the
thoroughness consists in memorizing
text-book definitions before the oper
ations alluded to are even under eon
si tieration, we are sorroy for the pu
pils. They might as well memorize
the decalogue in Hebrew so far as any
possible mental benefit is concerned.
We would give memory 'even more
cultivation than it receives. But the
memorizing should be upon words and
ideas which the child comprehends.
The opposite course is simply murder
ing the faculty. Think first, then
commit.
Some teachers say, or have said that
pupils will molest plants and flowers,
placed in school room windows. We
have yet to learn that they have done
so in a single instance. They are civ
ilizers, and the custom is accomplish
ed in Pierce county. Pictures in the
school room are also beneficial in the
same line. Appeal to the higher fac
ulties in human nature and the lower
ones will cease to be supreme. If
teachers could give the intellectual,
moral, or even esthetic capabilities,
work under high pressure, quarreling,
vulgarity, etc., would not appear dur
ing school hours.
Will Caiovell,Spring Grove district,
Trimiielle, although he iiad been there
before, managed to have an enroll
ment of 73 during the summer term,
against 71 last winter. When the
compulsory education law comes into
force we shall note and see the possi
bilities of that small school house.
New Books helped his work. Prct’ires
and mottoes did their work upon the
children. Reading in upper classes
good. Drawing. (How did lie find
time?—H. S, B.) (’lasses in lower
reading did some work in printing.
Historical students know that some
generals can only command with cred
it a brigtide. Mr. O’, can command a
corps.
Institutes.— We made an application
for an Institute this fall the last week
m August, bat the powers that control
them decided that the proximity of the
Not mal School rendered one less nec
essary hero thin at other places.
While we bow submissively, we are
trying to seek out the reason why all
other counties which contain Nor
mals should have the services of con
ductors, in two cases, for two weeks,
and Pierce be denied for a second
time. We feel that this explanation
is due to the teachers who desired the
privileges of an institute at River
Falls. The institute in Winnebago
county is but 10 miles from the school,
at Oshkosh, a fact which still further
complicates the problem.

most thorough and
_•£ '•"■’"•’S' searching cathar
tic medicine that can be employed : e'eans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
bltxxi. In 'mall dose* of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayer’s Pills have been known f»r
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a world-wide reputation for tin it
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs oi the
body, and are so composed that obstruc
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill- While they produce pow< r
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much )< ss
than the common purgatives, ami never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They resell ’he vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapt' d to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these I*ills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fre h,
and makes them pleasant to take; white
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
