ready tor delivery. 1t ls well for ths
State, it is we'll for the country that Mr.
Doolittle has the nomination. 1t is o
the highest importance that the republi
can majority be unusually large, this fall
and ex-senator Dooittle is just the mar
to make active republicans in the State
of Wisconsin.
The balance of the State democratic
ticket is:
John IL. Rice, Of Waukesha county,
for Lieutenant Governor, Milton Mont
gomery for Secretary of State, Anton
Klaus for Treasurer, Edward S. Bragg
for Attorney General, l.. +. John son for
State Prison Commissioner, w. D. Park
er for Superintendent of Public Instruct
ion. and Jacob Boden for Commissioner
of immigration.

The Republican papers, even those
which supported Mr.. Smith the most
heartily, give General Washburn a cor
dial endorsement. But the Democratic
press is painfully angered. Never We're
they more terribly disappointed. From
the greatest to the smallest, the Demo
cratic papers complain because the Re
publicans nominated General Washburn,
There is no use trying to please those
fellows.-Fond du Lac Daily.
Washburn suggests to Doolittle that
they address the people of Wisconsin to-
gether from one stump. Doolittle is will
ling, but wants the time consumed be-
fore each audience to be four hours II
the people of Wisconsin don't capitulase
before the mere thought of such bonn
bardment, let US be ridiculed for false
prophets. That Doolittle can fill up two
hours, or four hours, or for that matter
twenty-four hours. with words. sir, mere
words, there can be no manner of doubt.
But as for ideas, let boy be set to hunt

and he shall be quite as successful.-Chi-
cago Post.
When the report of the nominations
made by the Democratic State Conven
tion reached Fond du Lac, Col. E. S.
Bragg, the nominee for Attorney Gener-
al, was there, and on learning the names
of the candidates, broke into volley of
curses such as he had not uttered since
he left the army of the Potomac. Rush
ing to the telegraph Office he at once
sent message to the president of the
convention declining the nomination.
The convention, however, had adjourned
and so poor Bragg was compelled to al
low his name to remain on the ticket
Oshkosh Northeastern.
The State Democracy point with pride
to the record of their party years ago,
when it was supposed to be comparative
ly honest. Why do they not point with
pride to its present records? Why do
they not take especial pains to tell US
about the investment of Sl1 800 made
by the good Democrats of Milwaukee, in
school house trade, where no equiva
lent was received for the money? Why
do they not tell US about the same De-
mocratic Council giving the city print
ing done in German, to the See Bote
when the Herold offered 20 do 1t 20 per
cent. cheaper? Why do they not point
with pride to the plunderIngs in La Fay
ette county, where good Democrat
shelled out freely, not long ago, to get
clear of going to Waupun to reside. The
Democratic thieves are not all In New
York by any means.-O Oconomoooc
Times.
The honorable James R. Doolittle re-
sides with his family at As Douglas
Place, Chicago, which is doubtless very
good reason why he should be a candl-
date for Goveanor of Wisconsin. But
Chicago need not begin to mourn the
loss of this distinguished citizen. His
family need not fear that the home
hearth must be deserted for the stately
mansion of the chief executive of anoth
er State; in short, if Mr.. Doolittle does
not leave Chicago until he becomes Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, he will become the
very oldest citizen Chicago has ever
known Chicago Mail.
