Baraboo Republican describes Beaver Dam Railroad bonds plan
The Baraboo Republic reports on a Madison Republican State Convention note and details a proposed bond and mortgage scheme to fund the Beaver Dam Railroad. Town bonds and farm mortgages would finance rolling stock and road development, with guaranteed interest and a ten year nonpayment period for stockholders. The piece compares earnings of similar lines and argues the venture could boost local property values and trade, despite potential losses.
Stock Ownership and Road Financing Debate
The article argues stock in a road project hinges on confidence and the behavior of influential directors. It contends most stock will be held by towns along the line and diverse owners, reducing risk of minority exploitation. A generous town policy may boost land value and returns beyond the stock itself, with assurances from honest directors and broad ownership.

Political attack on Justice Cross in Madison Journal
The Madison Journal critiques Democratic nominations for Wisconsin governor and lieutenant governor. It labels Jus. B. Cross as a wealthy Milwaukee ex-mayor with ties to the Forty Thief clique and Know Nothing leanings, claiming his election would empower that faction. The piece portrays E. D. Campbell of LaCrosse as obscure, likely soon forgotten, and notes crossfire between Barstow leaders and Cross supporters.
