LOCAL MATTERS

Oh, such chilly weather.

John ROTH Jr. is home on a visit.

The work on Henry ROTH's new hotel is approaching completion.

Miss Bertha REYNOLDS of Mequon and Miss Eva SOULE of Port Washington spent a shorttime here Sunday.

The exhibits at the county fair were numerous and good, many claim better than anyprevious year.

A democratic streamer with the candidates, etc. will soon make its appearance onour main street.

The cider mill is again in action and owners of such a press are anticipating a lucrativebusiness as apples are plentiful this season.

Residents of this city, especially the businessman on Main St. are considerably annoyedby the dust raised by those frequent gusts of wind.

The lion share of the prize money as far as horses are concerned went as usual toCedarburg. There does not seem to be a horse in this county to beat "Old Ormondo"yet.

The remains of Mr. Hugh BELLEW, of Minneapolis, who formerly resided on a farm in the town of Jackson, arrived here for interment yesterday morning. A large numberof sympathizing friends attended the funeral.

The Cedarburg Music Band was greatly appreciated at the Fair and it was acceded bymany to have considerably contributed to the hilarity of the day.
~~~~~~~~~
Those that were fortunate enough to get a bite of the lunch served by Mr. John ROTHpronounced it most excellent. The game that John had a few days ago was prepared,as only a sportsman and his wife knows how.
~~~~~~~~~
FARM FOR SALE
An improved farm containing 100 acres in town Cedarburg, Sec. 5, about 20 acres ofwhich is timber. Good buildings on the farm. For particulars, apply to PatrickHEMLOCK, Cedarburg, Wis.
~~~~~~~~~
Mr. Wm. GILOW replenished his mother's larder last Sunday in bringing home four geeseand two turkeys, the result of very accurate shooting at Thielens, Mequon River.
~~~~~~~~~
The ladies of Rev. E. STRASSBURGER's congregation held their first monthly meetinglast Sunday, electing Mrs. J. ZAUN as President, Mrs. E. STRASSBURGER as Secretaryand Miss Emma BOHRTZ as Treasurer.
~~~~~~~~~
L. E. JOCHEM has secured the services of Mr. Nic ALTENHOFEN who was in the employmentof HENTSCHEL & JOCHEM for some years past previous to going to Kewaskum. Mr.ALTENHOFEN is very popular with the people of Cedarburg and vicinity and his oldfriends will no doubt rally round him as of yore.
~~~~~~~~~
A farmer residing near Freistadt met with a serious accident. While on his way tomill with a large load of grain, the end board of the box gave way, the bags suddenlydisappeared beneath him, precipitating him between the horses where he was dangerouslyinjured.
~~~~~~~~~
WIRTH Bros. "Badger" made excellent time at the County Fair, coming insecond in the "roadster" race. Gust. WIRTH was so elated at Badger's successthe evening after the race, that he would have refused $500 for the horse had itbeen offered him.
~~~~~~~~~
The funeral oration delivered by Mr. Ed. LANGHEINRICH at the grave of the late AlvinVOGEL was of a very impressive nature and exceedingly well rendered. Mr. LANGHEINRICHhas the thanks of Mrs. VOGEL's friends.
~~~~~~~~~
The concert given under the auspices of the Music Verein passed off very creditablyindeed. The orchestra played some very nice selections, very ably assisted by Messrs.MUELLER and BREYMAN of Grafton. The principal part, however, were several violinsolos by Prof. G. FISCHER, a very excellent musician , and one who would comparefavorably with some of the best violinists of the day. Mr. LISTER accompanied Prof.FISCHER on the piano very satisfactory. The frequent applause bestowed upon themusicians and soloists was well merited. Mr. FISCHER also gives lessons on the violinand piano and should be encouraged, for a good teacher or master generally turnsout a good pupil.
~~~~~~~~~
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION
We have not yet received the call for the democratic county convention which by aformer resolution of the county committee is to be held on the 20th inst. t thiscity. In as much as the county also constitutes an Assembly district, we think thatit is about as well if the chairman, Mr. BECKER, would distinctly state in his officialcall, that the same delegates elected to the county convention shall also act asdelegates to nominated an assemblyman in order to avoid a similar contest as tookplace in the county convention at Mequon where a double set of delegates appearedfrom the town of Port Washington and were admitted, one to select delegates to thestate and the other set to select delegates to the congressional convention, a proceedingwhich created a good deal of dissatisfaction. Let the delegates either act for bothor select delegates for each in every election precinct. The latter way would bethe fairer, as it would prevent combinations, trades and bargains. The Assemblymanis no county officer.
~~~~~~~~~
THE LATE COUNTY FAIR
The County Fair at Saukville was well patronized, the weather being all that couldbe desired. The usual display of stock, vegetables, grain, horses, cattle, etc.was much larger and better than last year, showing that the institution is not losingground under the able management of that old veteran farmer Hon. A. M. ALLING andof the other officers. We noticed some splendid stallions among the live stock andwill publish at least the principal premiums obtained by our farmers on their exhibitsas soon as we can obtain the list. A very pleasing feature connected with the fairwas the marching of about one hundred school children of St. Mary's into the fairgrounds with music by the band. They were headed by Father MEYER, pastor of theSaukville catholic church, the girls attended by one of the sisters. Fathers WILMESof Port Washington and RYAN of Cedarburg, as guests of Father MEYER, brought up therear of the procession.

The anatomical collection of deceased bones with proper descriptions, exhibited byour Cedarburg veterinary surgeon, Dr. Wm. HENKELL, together with other matters relatingto his profession and preserved by him during his long and successful practice, wasquite a novelty and the subject of much comment and attention.
~~~~~~~~~
GRAFTON
Mr. C. JACKSON and wife left for Missouri Monday. They intend to make that theirfuture home.

Wheat has reached a fair figure now and if farmers have a good crop and a fair price,it most generally insures a good winter's trade.

One day last week, a worthy farmer and wife started for the Saukville fair on theword of their son-in-law, but when they came there, they found that they were a daytoo late. Don't do that again Bogle.

Several members of the Republican club attended a meeting at Mr. LAWRENCE's place,where Mr. TROTTMANN addressed the members in German.

The concert in the Cedarburg Turner Hall was fairly attended, everything passed offvery smoothly and Mr. FISHCER did himself great credit, also did Mr. LISTER, theCedarburg Orchestra and Singing Verein. Mr. FISCHER is unquestionably the finestviolinist around and we hope he will have good support in Cedarburg.
~~~~~~~~~
SAUKVILLE
Louis PRIESLER's case came before Justice SAUER at Port Washington last Wednesday. Nic. WILSON, proprietor of the Railroad House, settled with PRIESLER. PRIESLERpaying the costs amounting to $37.91, also paying a certain sum to Nic WILSON fordamages.

Last Wednesday, very few entries were made at the County Fair on account of the coldand unpleasant weather. Thursday morning many entries were made, the exhibitionwas in general a good one and many people attended the fair from the surroundingtowns, especially from Cedarburg, Grafton and Port Washington. Among the many visitorsto the fair we noticed Hon. F. W. HORN, Hon. J. RACE, Messrs. GANNON, LYMAN, CharlesMUELLER, Judge ECKHART and FEHLAND. The music of the band was good. In the evening,a ball was held at the fair grounds, also at Mrs. SCHARD. It seemed everyone enjoyedhimself and everything went off quiet and peaceable.

THANKS
Our colleague, Mr. BOLENS, of the Star, mentions our name as a candidate for re-nominationto the Assembly in very flattering terms for which he will please receive our thanks.

We are getting rather old and there is not so much work in us as we should like torender to a generally very generous constituency. Still if our people in the countythink that we can serve them once more (in all probability for the last time), weshall feel highly honored and try "to do the best we know how." It maynot be amiss to state here that we must stand upon our own bottom and will not enterinto any combinations with candidates for county offices. We may have preferencesbut it would be unwise to express them at this time.

~~~~~~~~~
A number of citizens went to Chicago to see the sights.

Military week at the Milwaukee Exposition this week.

DIED -- At Mequon last Wednesday, October 3rd, Mrs. HODANN at the age of 84 years. The funeral took place last Saturday and was largely attended.

The silence of night is frequently broken by the rumbling of the lumber wagon heavilyladen with farm products, bound for the metropolis.
~~~~~~~~~
The HILGEN Manfg. Co. is busy at work filling the numerous orders that are arrivingdaily. From two to three car loads of material are shipped every day. The employeesare busy at work every evening and Sunday in order to fulfill the many orders.
~~~~~~~~~
City baker, A. ALBERS, and Rob. SCHNEIDER, the cigar maker and ropewalker, have leftthe city for parts unknown. Quite a number of citizens mourn their loss, that is,in a financial way.
~~~~~~~~~
The democratic street banner has arrived and will soon be stretched across Sheboyganstreet. It is a very large and beautiful banner with the portraits of both candidates. Several hundred torches have also arrived and a grand torch-light procession willbe held in the near future.
~~~~~~~~~
The Republicans and Democrats of Mequon held mass meetings at C. EHLEY's and J. BARTH'srespectively. Mr. J. R. F. TROTTMANN delivered an address at the republican meeting.
~~~~~~~~~
Two bakers have already made application to A. BODENDOERFER for the lease of thebuilding opposite the NEWS office. By all appearances our citizens will soon besupplied with fresh rolls every morning.
~~~~~~~~~
Quite a few young ladies and gents, of this city and adjacent towns, tendered Mr.B. REICHART a surprise party last Saturday Eve. The ejaculation, "Oh you'vemissed it" of several participants suffices as conclusive testimony of their"delightful time."
~~~~~~~~~
Rev. E. G. STRASSBURGER is out taking subscriptions from members of his congregationto assist in erecting a seminary at Dubuque, Iowa, the citizens of that place havingpresented the Iowa Synod a site in that city with the stipulation that work on theinstitution is to be commenced in spring.
~~~~~~~~~
Mr. FREEMAN, an employee of the M. & N. Ry. who happened with a serious accidentsome time ago, is rapidly improving and already able to move about on crutches.
~~~~~~~~~
Householders should keep their sidewalks in better repair, for it is not unfrequentwhen walking two blocks to be three times in danger of breaking a limb. The consequenceswould not usually rest with the property owners as a few nails "in time"will save trouble and expense.
~~~~~~~~~
The Cedarburg band will give a grand concert at SIMON's Thiensville next Sunday. The Maenner Choir will participate and help to make it a success. The special featuresof the concert however will be a number of violin solos by Prof. G. FISCHER, Mr.LISTER presiding at the piano. The people of Thiensville and vicinity will havean opportunity of hearing Mr. FISCHER and his work will be no doubt an inducementfor some who are interested in music to take lessons with Mr. FISCHER, who is anexpert on the piano as well as violin. He can give lessons on either instrumentat reasonable terms.
~~~~~~~~~
THE COUNTY FAIR
The executive committee met last Saturday and we hope to get the premium list beforegoing to press. If not, we will bring it next week.

~~~~~~~~~
THE COUNTY CONVENTION
The county convention for the nomination of County Officers will be held at Cedarburgon the 20th day of October inst. at 10 o'clock a.m. The representation will be thesame as heretofore. At the same time, the Assembly district, composed of Ozaukee County, will also select an Assemblyman. We presume that thee will be but one delegationfor both from each election precinct, unless the caucuses to be held, determine tosend two separate delegations which ought to be settled BEFORE any selections aremade and not afterwards, so that the first question at the opening of the caucusproceedings will be: Shall two separate delegations be sent or not?

After the foregoing was put in type, we received the official call, which will befound at the head of the locals.

The words "and no more" contained in the call are doubtless meant, thatbut one delegation to the convention shall be chosen and that both the Assembly manand the county officers shall be nominated by the same delegates. We think thatthis is the better way unless two distinct conventions had been called.
~~~~~~~~~
PERSONALS
Mrs. Wm. VOGENITZ paid several of her friends a visit last Friday.

F. W. SANDERS yesterday departed for Chicago where he intends to pass a short time.

Miss Lulu A. MUELLER, Prin. Of Dist. No. 5, Mequon, has spent Sunday in this city,guest of Miss Louisa SCHMIDT.

GRAFTON
Our store keepers have received fresh oysters so now we can indulge in one of thedelicacies of winter.

We understand that the contract for the new iron bridge was left to Milwaukee partiesfor $2800 and that they took the old bridge for $100 as part payment.

Last Sunday as some of the boys from across the river were returning home from Grafton,they might be heard using the most vile (unreadable words) streets. Thisis something that is punishable by law and we know that if those parties make a repetitionof it, they will be punished.

Quite a large amount of apples has been shipped from Grafton the past week but owingto the abundant crop, they do not bring an over good price.
~~~~~~~~~
SAUKVILLE
The monthly cattle fair was well attended in regard to the number of persons, butnot much stock was exchanged. There were at least ten stands where boots & shoes,clothing, notions, etc. were sold. These men selling goods take away a good dealof money out of this county and leave at the place no money whatever. We think itis about time to protect our merchants and the supervisors should raise the licenseat least to $10, while the license now is only $3.

At the fair grounds was a man selling or trying to sell sewing machines. The gentlemanwas asked for his state license. He said it was nobody's business if he had statelicense or not, he was arrested and taken before Justice SAUER at Port Washingtonand dictated $50 fine and costs. Another agent without license promised to takeout his license the next day.

When our town caucus will be held nobody knows. Everything is held so secret thisyear, that we do not know what to make of it.

Readers, do not fail to look over the advertisements of our merchants in the columnsof this paper. Any and all of them have bargains to offer. We only recommend themfor it is evident that those who do not make known what they have by the aid of theNEWS do not caire for your patronage -- do not force it upon them.
~~~~~~~~~~
The concert last Sunday at Thiensville was very well attended, and much appreciatedby all Mr. MEMMLER kindly given the use of his piano. Prof. FISCHER and Mr. LISTERplayed as usual in their masterly style. The ball in the evening was also a successfinancially.

~~~~~~~~~~
Excursionists to Chicago should provide themselves with lunch if they do not wantto buy a meal on the train, which is somewhat high priced but good. There is, however,a hotel about half way between Milwaukee and Chicago where one can purchase sandwichesat 10 cents a piece. But "beware ye hungry ones," for they are noted fortheir almost entire absence of butter, their extremely diminutive proportions ofham and their extraordinary thinness of butter. One of our friends (unreadablewords) having partaken of them complained of a faint sensation in his stomach,very much like the feeling a hungry man experiences.
~~~~~~~~~~
TWO MORE DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS
Besides the meeting which was held (unreadable words) Hall last Thursday,two more gatherings of the friends of low taxes will be held in this city under theauspices of the Cleveland and Thurman Club. The first is to take place on the eveningof the twenty-second of this month (Monday) when Mr. And. KULL and probably TheodorKERSTEN will be present to deliver addresses to the people. Mr. BRICKNER will probablynot be present because he had made arrangements previously to be in Brown and Calumetcounties, but he has assured us that he will attend the last and grand mass meetingof all the clubs in the county to be held on the evening before election in thiscity when a torch light procession, music, etc. will enliven the proceedings.

Be prepared then to turn out in full force on the 5th of November next in the eveningfor the great and last demonstration.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. BRICKNER, our candidate for Congress, paid this city a flying visit on Fridayforenoon. He regrets having been unable to call on many of our business men irrespectiveof party on account of the limited time at his command, promising to be here at thelast meeting on the 5th. Mr. BRICKNER went from here to Grafton, Saukville and PortWashington, from whence he returned to Sheboygan.

At the last meeting, Messrs. McMULLEN of Chilton, spoke in English and Mr. HubertFALGE from Manitowoc in German. We were unable to be present, but learned that everybodywho attended was well satisfied, and if our republican friends, who were presentin goodly numbers, were not convinced of the error of their positions, they gavethe gentlemen who spoke at least the credit of fair statements and of avoiding allpersonalities.

ANTI PROHIBITION CLUB
During our absence from home, Mr. Emil COURT, state lecturer and organizer of theanti Prohibition Association visited Cedarburg and commenced the organization ofan anti Prohibition club in this city and town. Several citizens have joined theclub already and it is expected that a large number will be added. Mr. COURT isexpected soon to be here again to complete the organization. We have not the leastdoubt that a strong effort will be made this winter in the legislature to raise theminimum license to at least five hundred dollars per year, and it is necessary thatthe friends of personal liberty will not only cast their votes for such men as arein favor of a just nd reasonable license law, irrespective of parties, but also ofmen who are fully capable of meeting the enemy in argument, men of standing and influencewho can command respect and can control more than their own individual vote in thenext legislature.
~~~~~~~~~~
AN OPEN BALLOT
That is what the people have been demanding everywhere and it is now adopted in allNational, Congressional, State and County conventions of the different parties. One of the exceptions is made yet in this county and it must be abolished at once. The people will not stand it any longer. Show your hand if you mean to representyour party honestly. The secret ballot at conventions is prima facie evidencethat somebody is to be cheated and that the delegate is afraid to answer to his constituentsfor his votes.

Ozaukee County must join in the march of progress and reform.
~~~~~~~~~~
REPUBLICAN MEETING
There was quite an attendance at the republican meeting here on Monday night andthe speeches of Messrs. TROTTMANN and FINK were very creditable efforts. If friendFINK would skip some hard words, he would receive more credit. The irrepressiblebloody shirt got a slight airing from Mr. FINK as a matter of course. Both speakersfailed to give reasons why the high war taxes should be any longer collected in theinterest of monopolies from the farmer, laborer, mechanic and smaller tradesmen onthe necessaries of life.
~~~~~~~~~~
About a half dozen of our citizens returned from their trip to Chicago last Saturday. At every station between Milwaukee and Cedarburg they were noticed peering cautiouslyout of the window fully expecting to see a delegation sent from Cedarburg to welcomethem home, but station after station was passed without having their wishes gratified. When Thiensville was sighted, however, their countenances lit up with a smile fora little group was noticed on the platform, headed as it seemed by Mr. LUTZ's familiarfigure. When they reached the "little group" turned out to be farmerswaiting for the delivery of trees and Mr. LUTZ was simply there on his way home froma business trip to Thiensville. Another incident of an amusing nature happened toone of the gentlemen. The news boy, as he is called, was selling among other nicethings one can buy on the train, some very choice apples. He sung out 6 for 25 cents,the 20 in the most dulcet tones possible and the 5 in stentorian voice. The gentlemenbeing a judge of fruit, considering them cheap at 5 cents, resolved to invest a nickelfor 6, being one of each of the party. After having tendered his 5 cent peice, theagent handed him one apple and went on his way in double quick time in quest of anothervictim. The expression on our friends face was ludicrous.
~~~~~~~~~~
GRAFTON
Mr. HENNING and family and Mr. FITZGERALD, two of Grafton's former residents havereturned.

The Rev. Wm. CLARK will remain on this charge.

Operation was commenced on the bridge last Monday. The contract for the stone butmentswas let to Mr. GENTER.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather, the fair was not overcrowded and there wasnot a great deal of cattle, but as usual, plenty of buyers.

The concert given in Thiensville by Cedarburg Music Verein was well attended andjudging from the applause, was very favorably received. We hope to have a concertfrom the same source here soon.

In spite of the most unfavorable weather, the torchlight procession last Monday eveningreached dimensions of which the democrats of Cedarburg can be proud. The processionstarted at half past seven o'clock headed by the Cedarburg band, marched as far asthe Catholic church, turned about face marching down Main Street as far as the WoolenMills. Great enthusiasm was manifested in the ranks, even ladies showing their loyaltyto the democratic cause by loudly applauding the procession as it passed their windows. Six marshals on horseback added to splendor of the spectacle, some of our countryfriends coming 4 or 5 miles unmindful of the rain. The procession then wended theirway back to the Wigwam and with the exception of a few, gave up their torches. Theclub, preceded by the band, called on the speakers of the Union Hotel and escortedthem to the Hall.

REPUBLICAN MEETING AT GRAFTON MONDAY NIGHT LAST
One of our Grafton correspondents has taken a vacation for a few days visiting relativesand we are, consequently, unable at the time of going to press to give particulars;all of our office people remaining here to attend the democratic meetings held onthe same evening. We learn, however, that our young friend, Mr. James TROTTMAN,who spoke at the Grafton gathering, acquitted himself well and that he made the mostout of the cause that favors high taxes.

James never forgets the gentleman when he is talking to the people and abusive languagetowards the opposing party he carefully avoids.
~~~~~~~~~~
DEMOCRATIC RALLY AT CEDARBURG MONDAY NIGHT LAST
Notwithstanding the rain weather, there was quite a turn-out of the boys and theprocession with torch lights extended over half a mile, headed by the Cedarburg Band. The speakers at the hall were Judge ROSE, of Milwaukee, who made a very tellingspeech in English, followed by Mr. KULL, the candidate for Lt. Governor in German,who did equally well. Our candidate for Congress, Mr. BRICKNER, was also in attendanceand concluded the speech making by a few timely remarks.

All the speakers were highly applauded and none dealt in personalities but confinedthemselves to facts proven from the records.

This is as it should be; abusive language towards an opponent may tickle and pleasesome of the crowd, but it will not pay as it contains no argument and will not converta single man.

There were many outsiders present and, but for the weather, the Hall would have beeninsufficient to contain the people. Friend SCHELLENBERG came with a wagon load ofanxious listeners from Horn's Corners through the rain and mud; they must have beenpretty well soaked through before getting home.
~~~~~~~~~~
SAUKVILLE
About a week ago, Mr. BRICKNER, the democratic candidate for Congress, paid our villagea visit.

A few days ago, a young man being captured by Amor, entered a house to see a younglady. The lady seemed not much paying attention to his conversation and as the youngman thought to pass his time playing with a dog lying near the young lady, and tookhold of the dog's tail, but to his astonishment, even the dog felt not very friendlytowards him and bit the young man in the hand. The young man at once disappearedand swore to take out a warrant against the ______ dog. We will report of the trialwhen going on.

Some of our republicans of the town went to Cedarburg last Tuesday to the republicanmass meeting. It seemed they all enjoyed themselves.

Mr. KUSTERMAN, republican candidate for Congress, was here to see the voters in general.

Mr. Thos. WESCOTT, a son of John WESCOTT, a former resident of this town, is visitingMr. & Mrs. A. M. ALLING.
~~~~~~~~~~
THE ASSEMBLY AND COUNTY TICKETS
The tickets nominated by the democrats will undoubtedly be duplicated by democraticstumpers as usual. The republicans can only master at the best about 700 votes andhave no chance whatever to elect one of their own men. Therefore, they have notmade any nominations for the last six or eight years, although some ambitious menwanting to figure on the ticket we were told, insisted upon a "straight"republican ticket giving as the only reasons that one democrat whether nominatedor not was as bad as another and that such ticket would be more apt to keep the partytogether.

But better counsel among the more prudent and liberal minded republicans always prevailedfor the reasons that they had it in their power to make the best selection amongthose democrats in the field as to capability and honesty. It must be admitted thatthis small number of republicans consists of some of our very best and substantialcitizens whose monied interest in the county amounts to at least double of what thesame number of democrats on an average represent. Hence, it is foolish to contendthat they have no interest in the selection of county officers and that one regulardemocrat is as bad as a stumper and vice versa when they have it in theirpower to choose whom they support in a body.

In a party sense, they are also the gainers, especially at presidential and stateelections; it will not draw out a full vote, for to every republican, staying athome four or five democrats will not come to the polls.

Now as for the other reason advanced that it will keep the party together, thereis at this election, the presidential nominees, the State officers and the Congressmanon the ticket, enough in all conscience to "keep the party together" withoutmaking nominations for county officers, by which they may help men into office whomay be a positive damage to every tax payer.

We for one have expressed the wish many a time that parties in this county shouldbe more equally balanced, because the democrats and republicans would each be forcedto nominate only their best men if they wanted them elected. As it stands now, therepublicans have only the veto power on some democrats in the field, which is a powerafter all for them to exercise as tax payers, or to throw away their votes on a straightticket of their own.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
The republicans of Ozaukee county met at Grafton yesterday afternoon in conventionfor the purpose of nominating candidates for the county office:

For Member of Assembly, A. M. ALLING, of Saukville.
For Sheriff, Frank OPITZ, of Saukville
For County Clerk, Albert SELLE, of Mequon
For County Treasurer, Jacob ZAUN, of Cedarburg
For Register of Deeds, Dan. E. McGINLEY, of Saukville
For District Attorney, E. S. TURNER, of Pt. Washington
For Clerk of the Circuit Court, F. L. HARMS, of Grafton
For County Surveyor, John BURNS, of Grafton
For Coroner, H. BURRELL, of Fredonia
For County Supt. of Schools, H. L. COE, of Pt. Washington

It must be conceded that the ticket is a very respectable one. Mr. ALLING has servedin former years in the New York and in the Wisconsin Legislatures; hence, he is an"expert" like ourself if he could be elected, of which there is not theghost of a chance. He has the "age" of us too, being 83 or 84 years old,but is yet of "sound mind and memory," but we hold the highest pair in the game and the "age" does not count. Ques: Would the republicanshave made such respectable nominations if they had as big a majority as the democratsand would not the same curious and disgusting proceedings here taken place in theirconvention as were enacted in the late democratic gathering in Cedarburg? We areone of those that are unwilling to concede all the respectability to the republicanparty and think that under certain circumstances, they are no better than their opponents.
~~~~~~~~~~~
THE COUNTY TICKET
"There were those whom we would rather have had nominated at the county conventionlast Saturday, but now that the ticket has been selected, let all true democratsturn in and support and elect it. Doubtless had the viva voce rule in makingnominations prevailed, the result would have been different, and it is to be regrettedthat a secret ballot was deemed necessary. While this method rules in our countyconventions, charges of trickery, selling out, and fraud will always be made, andstump tickets placed in the field; thus loosening the majority on the state and nationalticket.

When the rule of a viva voce in our conventions is once established, therewill be a struggle for the nominations, and the fight will end, -- where it should-- in the convention. But as it is our county conventions are screaming farces --the fight terminates only at the polls. It is a strange condition of politics whendelegates to a democratic county convention vote for the nomination of candidateswhom they think will weaken the ticket, simply because one of their favorites wasbeaten! Yet such was the case at Cedarburg last Saturday. And the reason givenwas because they wanted a strong stump ticket! Shades of Andrew Jackson! Thinkof it!

As it now is, candidates who are defeated for the nomination combine to defeat thenominees at the polls. And usually the hardest work is done between the time ofholding the convention and election day. If aspirants would put forth half the effortto secure the nomination and to prevent bargains and sales, there would be cleanerpolitics, less bitter feeling, more harmony, and those who fail of the nominationswould heartily support the entire county ticket. Stricter party discipline is sadlyneeded among the Ozaukee County Democracy."

The above is copied from the Star of Port Washington whose editor was a (unreadablewords) of the proceedings of the convention. We were not in attendance except whilemaking a few remarks relating to our nomination. We counseled an open ballot beforethe convention met, and are satisfied that (unreadable portion), we would have receivedtwenty votes on the first ballot; what became of the missing four, we are only leftto "guess" and those democrats in the towns who sent them as their representativesare equally left in the dark. An open ballot and no trading must be the rule forthe future.

We pronounce the report coming from a certain quarter that we, as chairman of theboard of County Supervisors, will not do our duty as prescribed in the Revised Statutesrelating to defaulting county treasurers, as an infamous lie. To make this lie moreplausible it is pointed out that Mr. AHLHAUSER is nominated on the same ticket withus. If that gentleman afterwards complies with the law relating to bonds, etc.,there is nothing in the way of his re-election as everybody has pity with his misfortune,but we far that some four or five of the number who cast those sixteen votes whichnominated him, did not consist of his friends, for the reason above stated; theywill not vote for him at the election.

The private motives of some of these delegates who, under the guise of a secret ballot,misrepresented their constituents will receive an airing after the election.

We have just been informed by the most reliable authority that so called "pasters"are in circulation by disappointed HUDD men with the name of Mr. KUESTERMAN as Memberof Congress to be used on the day of election; specimens of those pasters were sentto us in the communication as proof.
~~~~~~~~~~~
A Republican county convention was held at SIMON's hall at Grafton on Oct. 26th. The convention consisted of 22 delegates, representing every city and town in Ozaukee County excepting Belgium. The convention was called to order by Hon. Wm. CARBYS,chairman of the Republican County Committee.

Hon. A. M. ALLING was chosen chairman and D. E. McGINLEY secretary.

It was moved and seconded that the convention proceed to nominate a candidate formember of Assembly, and for each of the county offices, making a straight republicanticket.

The questions was very freely and ably discussed, and the convention came to theconclusion that, whereas the republicans of Ozaukee county had tried for many yearspast, by casting their votes for independent (?) candidates, to purify the politicalair in our county offices, and had failed; and whereas the democratic bosses of thecounty had again nominated candidates whom the better element of their party couldnot support, and to defeat whom the aid of the republicans was again solicited, thetime had come when the republicans of the county must say to such supplicants: No,we will not again assist you to defeat the nominees of your party and elect thankless,undeserving "stumpers" who boast that they "carry the republican voteof the county in their pockets."

A full republican party was then nominated. [Printed in another column of the News.]

The secretary was instructed to furnish the press of the county with a summary ofthe proceedings of the convention, and after transacting some minor business, theconvention adjourned sine die. -- A. M. ALLING, chairman; D. E. McGINLEY, Sec'y
