Sheboygan Daily Herald (Newspaper) - January 14, 1879, Madison, Wisconsin SHEBOYGAN i MADISON WISCONSIN TUESDAY JANUARY Sheboygan Daily Herald MADISON EDITION GEORGE MARSH Manager TUESDAY JANUARY 14 1879 The Character The history of the Republican ty la a history of great men The events which gave birth to that party and the greater events shaped by it born comprise a cal epoch that developed many grand lives in every field of public service Seldom in the history of the world have men so risen amid exigent circumstances go nocked to every gap of danger that threatened their nationality nor do the records of the past anywhere more plainly enforce the truth that an enduring fame cannot be founded on fictitious worth nor intellectual qualities alone without a moral balance give the world assurance of a man The heroes of the war military and civil those whom we recognize as the chief actors in that great rush of events are almost without exception men of well-rounded character as notable for purity of life as for genius or The whole movement from early anti-slavery days was led by men of strong virtue of whom coln is the type and the United States Senate in particular has sessed a grand dignity which the character of such men as Morton Fessenden Morrill and Howe have given it The Senatorial character is tainly worthy of attentive ation when a Senator is to be chosen and especially by those who are to make the choice The man worthy of the office should possess in a high degree the powers of reasoning and speaking necessary to the effective use of his learning but beyond these he must to fitly represent the State of Wisconsin possess a moral side that is clean Decency is a characteristic of the age and no man can fitly represent a virtuous Christian population such as ours who does not possess it No matter how great a Senator's intellectual parts if his moral traits can bring a blush of shame to any citizen he ii unworthy to stand for that citizen in the Senate or elsewhere We do not want in a Senator a man of low views of public and private virtue who sells and marts his offices for gold We do not want for Senator a man who has gained the place by deceit and cunning by playing ternately on the hopes and passions of men by years of catering to a lively sense of benefits expected which constitutes the retail trade of politics But we need not have a man of either description The Senator whose term is about to expire a character the reverse ot both The purity of his private life is the foundation of the acknowledged purity of his public life No breath of scandal assailed either He has worthily stood for all that is great and reputable m this noble com- He has sustained the Senatorial character in ti manner re- greater credit on the state than thf state conferred honor on him thus keeping the state in his debt now honors itself in him to in his servant the many things intrusted to him Earnest a Mutual Friend We clip the following from the editorial of yesterday The last number of the Waterloo Journal contains the following ami earnest advice to two of the Senatorial Messrs Carpenter and Keyes represent men who have pulled in the same harness and in the team for years It is suicidal for them to so conduct the Senatorial canvass us to divide a brigade of workers who have never yet been de- inside or outside of their party By eVery consideration that sound practical sense would suggest penter and Keyes should so conduct the canvass for Senator that should either be elected the friends of both will have 11 reason to rejoice and con- to maintain the same unbroken front that for years they have pre- sented The editor of the Waterloo nal Mr S J Conklin a man not unknown to fame a man who after serving his country as revenue agent resided for some time in foreign parts and whose genial ways won from his intimate associates the endearing title of Conk He will be equally well pleased with the election of either Mr Carpenter or Mr Keyes A warm friend cf both he desires to see one or the other elected and he therefore sels them to pool their and ao conduct the canvass that the friends of both will have reason to rejoice They will be hard hearted indeed if they turn deaf ear to the ings for harmony in my brigade uttered by Dear TUB HERALD yesterday expressed unfeigned amazement that an extract speaking moat feelingly of the manlike qualities of Madison Postmaster and at the same time praising Mr Carpenter which we generously reproduced was omitted from the Journal's pages of public sentiment Wo hastened attribute the strange omission rather than to a wish to de- the public of the good words bestowed upon another candidate We are now to dis- cover that still another article similar to the ono already printed in these columns has appeared fn the loo Journal and that no allusion whatever has been mode to it by the State Journal Can it be sible that our esteemed and venerated neighbor on Washington Avenue does not exchange with the Waterloo Journal This is the only way we can account for these mysterious and apparently studied omissions We indignantly refuse to suspect that the course in the premises is due to jealousy and eagerly take refuge in the comforting thought that the silver-haired veteran of the Wisconsin press does not see the Waterloo Journal THERE is a rumor afloat that the friends of Postmaster Keyes are busily engaged in an effort looking to a compromise with penter whereby the latter is to retire from the present contest and er his votes we the language of rumor to the Madison ter and in return for the favor mentioned the aforesaid Postmaster pledges his undivided and ceaseless endeavors to place Mr Carpenter in the Senate at the expiration of Sen ator Cameron's term of office We refuse to pay any heed to a story that is so discreditable to prominent candidates for Senatorial honors without the production of stronger proofs than have yet been offered us We simply give the rumor as a ter of current gossip that Postmaster Keyes and Carpenter may have an opportunity promptly to correct the damaging statements that are being made respecting them THE Journal coolly intimates that Judge Howe is supported mainly by The Journal knows better It is well aware that Judge Howe's most prominent supporters are not and that the very beet elements in can party are earnestly enlisted on hia side Its suggestion is nate as ii naturally directs attention to the herd of postmasters timber agents State House officials are so laboring in behalf of its candidate Senator Howe Always Sound on the In reply to the idle and purposely mischievous talk of political mies THE HERALD has taken pains offer indubitable evidence that Senator Howe has always an unwavering and earnest supporter of a sound and rational system of and an honest currency We now beg leave to call the Stats Journal to the stand At the height of the campaign during the atter part of October the following appeared as a leading article in the Senator Howe haa renounced his Qreon- Paragraphs like the above or more directly asserting that the re- cent speeches of Senator Howe in avor of the resumption of specie and the maintenance of a currency convertible at par into coin are inconsistent with his previous utterances on the same subject have appeared lately in a number of Re- papers in this state It is lue to truth and justice that ions and insinuations so completely devoid of any foundation in fact should be promptly and emphatically contradicted Senator Howe has taken no tion in hit speeches which is not in perfect harmony not merely vitli his utterances of the past year but with his He was the only member of Congress from this state who spoke in the canvass last Year On the 10th of October last e addressed a public meeting in this city his speech being chiefly devoted 10 the discussion of the currency question He has said nothing this rear more clearly and positively dis- from the doctrines ed by the Greenbackers than he then uttered In evidence of the truth of statement we quote the sub- sentences from his speech on occasion He was reviewing certain propositions submitted in a speech by Mr Allis then the Jack for Mr Ailis maintains that the idea of notes into coin is I hold on the contrary that issued not under the sure ol any great and disastrous tency not into coin are a Taud no matter who issues them Paper can never be as good as coin un- ess those who issue it are i squired to redeem it in coin The dollar In at definite an the yai A 01 bushel I cannot go with that party the I cannot persuade myself to shut my eyes to the experience f the venerable past and to the ings of sound reason I believe these new political economists to be honest ot purpose and of conviction but I believe they know not what they do My profound belief is that no party has arisen in our time whom tend so and no surely to universal ruin lint I have been considering Senator Howe has been jn the habit oi expressing very decided opinions respecting the dangerous and mischievous tendencies of the Democratic party In the same speech from which the above is taken he spoke of the Democratic terms far from flattering ut while giving ty of purpose declared no arisen in our time whose tend so directly to universal ruin as those of the Greenback party It appears therefore that if he has re- his he did not do it this year We will look ii little farther back in the Senator's record and see what his views were ten years ago In the course of a debate in the Senate January 9 1868 he opposed the of the Greenback rency then going on at the rate of four millions a month unless the limitation at that time placed National removed Hfe position was the greenbacks ought to be paid or funded that the Government should not keep out an irredeemable currency and that free banking should be authorized as it now exists In the course of his re- marks he I say now that there ought not to be a piece of paper under the ion of law by anybody either by the or not convertible that THK WOHLD as money whatever that Is The Govern nient cannot do it without bearing the brand of a bankrupt on its brow I can not do it subjecting myself to the game penalty and a bank cannot do It I have said that we were justified in using this paper while the war was upon us out I believe with the Senator from Maine that that necessity haa passed by and we must rid of thin paper as tow as we can but it must not be taxed ou of the pockets of the people and burned and it must not be taken from the on off and if paj But thai reaable 1 carry ions of terest lines upon in otho or In a the true he of finance able by The price men in W millions a seeing ftd he ies when g o

in and ness to principle that no fears were entertained that they would support any candidate for the Senate whose last record as well as his present professions were not absolutely sound upon the vitally important currency question The importance of candidly and clearly stating the positions occupied by Senatorial candidates upon this subject thus obvious THE Legislature is certainly not doing much mischief Its sessions do not continue more than fifteen minutes THE features of the Senatorial contest do not seem materially to have changed since our last issue No mail had ever a stronger i mg from the press of the state for any position than has Mr Keyes This proves that the working Re- publican force is in his favor in an unmistakable The carefully prepared list of Keyes newspapers is before us It at the glance It fifty-one pers exclusive of the modest But suppose we subject it to a moment's analysis Possibly it hag us with more awe thun itis importance Wo note first are one dred and twenty-four papers in the state It thus appears that seventy-three Republican state papers have so far neglected to de- clare in favor of Mr Keyes ing deeper we discover that the Journal is the only daily paper in the state that supports the sions of the Madison Postmaster that the other Wisconsin daily that favored Mr Keyes died in Racine aoon after expressing the public of Racine county that all the other state dailies are strongly opposed to the election of Mr Keyes while several of them have been in these columns as favoring Senator Howe that thirty-six pers in the Keyes list are almost wholly unknown to people side of the country villages in which they are printed that some of the papers in the liat have only been a few weeks and others have suspended publication or twice during the year while others appear only occasionally and do not pretend to be newspapers We find further that the seventy-three pers not claimed by Mr Keyes in- clude all the Republican papers
