LYKDEand Messrs. Ai.len and Meiikill resigned their positions as members of the Board of State Charities and Reform. The term of Mr. Giles expired on the first of April, thus leaving Mr. Elmore Hie only member of the Board.

The Governor Has mtcu inc Board by the re-appoiatmentof Mr. Giles and Mrs. Ltsde, and by the appointment of Messrs. W. W.

Reed, of Jefferson, and E. Chapix, of Columbus, in place of Messrs. Allex and Merrill. These per sons, with Mr. Elmore, now makeup the lull Board.

To us, it is more agreeable to commend an act of the Executive, than to condemn one hence, it gives us pleasure to commend these appointments as be-i ng goo i The Board can only prove val-uablc the slate, from the character of those composing it. If made up of persons of ability and honesty, who take an interest in matters referred to it, much good may result from its labors. The persons selected by Gv. Taylor to constitute the Board, would seem to be well chosen with a view to the accomplishment of good, and we congratulate the ate upon the selection. Of the three, who have been members of the Board in the past, the Democrat speaks as follows "Col.

Mr. Chatin is a lawyer of good standing. He is a gentleman of pleasing ad-dressjantl of industrious habits, and will no doubt give careful attention to the duties of his new position. Municipal Elections in the State. In many places, politics have had little to do in the elections on Tuesday last, in this State.

Temperance has been prominent in some localities, and independent movements in others, based upon local issues. Republicans seem to have made gains, as a rule, wherever parly politics had any thing to do in the election. In the cities of Milwaukee, Racine, Oshkosb, Green Bay, Portage, Eau Claire, Beaver Dam, Janesville, Beloit, Manitowoc, Republican Mayors have been elected. As the Democrat announced under the head or "Glorious News from all Sections," "where party lines were drawn, Republican gains are generally reported." The "homes" of most of the State officials, that gave Democratic majorities last fall, have elected Republicans this spring. Such is the case in Cottage Grove, the home of Gov.

Taylor Milwaukee, the -mc of Treasurer Keuhn Beaver Dam, the home of Attorney General Sloan; Eau Claire, the home of Immigration Com-missioner Alard. The homes of Lt. Gov. Parker, Becretary Doyle and Superintendent Searing have not been heard from as yet. The spring elections in this State look decidedly encouraging for the Republicans.

The sober second thought of the people is likely to be right, and in the next fall election the Republican party will again be triumphant in this State, if we do not mistake the signs of the times." The people know that true reform can only be obtained through the Republican organization. They know that no other party ever accomplished so much for the general good of the country, as that party has done. Knowing this, they will stand by it, in the certainty that in the future, as in the past, it will prove to be the party of progress and reform. A Family Jar. The Democrat, this morning, contains a communication from Hon.

Matt. Anderson, the "Cross Plains Farmer," on the subject of the currency. The Deitcocrat-vtith that inbred courtesy, which its editors have cultivated to the highest degree, in dealing with political opponents because this political associate docs not agree with the financial theories of the profound political economists conducting that sheet, says: We pet the vanity of our Cross Plains correspondent by giving him room in this issue for a lonsj and wordy reply to a short article published some time ago from issiourian1" on the subject of the currency. The present article needs no no-t tice at our hand3. The points clumsily touched upon by tht writer have been answered time and again in these columns.

It proceeds to give its humble opinion that the Cross Plains farmer is not a very sagacious" statesman nor a very shrewd politician." Wc don't propose to mix in this controversy between members of the happy family, but simply wish to remind the Democrat that if it had not been for a couple 'of resolution protesting against railroad extortion, which Mr. Anderson f.tirly forced upon the Reform convention in Milwaukee which nominated Ta ylor.
