Wm, 1> Merrill, editor of the
Prairie du Chien Courier, and the
honorable and ancient 1* red Horn,
of the Cednrhurg News, evidently
believes, that they are making it red
hot for the present administration.
They have resolved themselves into
the democratic party of W isconsin,
as it were, with the determination
to tench presidt nt Cleveland and
the members of bis cabinet what
democracy really means. 1 bey
don’t want to listen to any civil
service reform nonsense, and they
won’t, iff course these worthy
editors have a perfect right to ex
press their opinions in regard to
the course of the administration in
disposing of the offices; hut it is a
fact worthy of note that the demo
cratic party never succeeded until it
ceased to follow the advise of such
politicians as the editor of 1 lie
Courier, and the editor of I lie News,
and we want no surer sign of future
victory for the parly than that is
not following their advise now. Eet
Fred Horn and Bill Merrill disband,
and the probability is that the ad
ministration will get along very well
without them.
The first number A Darlington's
now paper, The Democratic Regis
ter, was published last week. It is
newsy and catches on to things
political and otherwise remarkably
well. It is neatly printed and being
well filled with advertisements, pre
sents a healthy appearance. It is
published by K. A. Lewis it Cos.,
with .1. R. Rose, political editor.
