RACINE, WIS, July 70, 1913.
Dear To"sc'iW:
l Left Austin, with my family last
Thursday, ut noon, and arrived at the
old homestead" in Racine, Wis. the
next evening, ut nine o'clock. The
ride from Austin 10 McGregor intro
luccs the traveller t. some of the most
beautiful rural sights ever behold The
general surface is undulatiny, aud o"
the line Of the road, the land is nearly
all cultivated. Wheat and oats never
looked in better condition, while corn
is making rapid growth under tho in>
Aucnce Of this July sun. The villa
yes seem to be prospecting, and have
that irdescribably pleasant look which
is characteristic Of recent building.
The valley Of tho Mississippi, as
seen from Mc'Grcyor, and from Prairie
du Chen, is simply grand and the
effect is heightened somewhat, by a
pleasant crossing upon a steam ferry.
There are not more beautiful spots on
the banks of the Hudson, than this
ono.
Our ride through Wisconsin occur
Ing in tho night, We had no opportu-
nifty to estimate the condition Of the
crops, although We heard it said that
the prospect is not as aattering, as in
some former years.
In the region Of the lake shore cv
crything looked very promising, except
the fruit. Apples and cherries, here
tvlorc grown in such great abundance,
will be scarce this season.
Racine is a city Of nearly $4,000
population, and in point of wealth, in
dustry and beauty Of location, is Sec
ond to none Of its size. 1t is the head
quarters Of J. 1. Case T. Co.'s thresh-
ing machine works. 1t has two wagon
shops, one of which turns out 125
wagons; and the other IS each week.
The Esterlcy reaper. and the Dickey
tanning mill are both made here. There
is also an extensive wooden factory, and
a trunk factory, and many other indus
trial establishments o: less Importance
Racine college is one Of the finest :,
in many respects. in the whole North
west, situated in a park Of native trees,
with beautiful lawn fronting upon
the lake the beauty Of the place is
beyond comparison. Its educational
character is Of a high order. Near
these grounds is the residence Of Ex-U.
S. Senator, j. Il. Doolittle, who, al
though somewhat cratic in his polit-
ical course, is highly esteemed Us cit
izeu. Il half milc west of the city Is
the farm Of Mr.. Murray, the great
stock man Of Wisconsin. A run
through his buildings ard grounds,
and look at his I" short horns," and
thorough bred horses, has re-kindled
somewhat the enthusiasm of my love
Of those noblest specimens Of the
brute creation. They have not finer
stock in England, than can be found
in the pastures Of Mr.. Murray. A
mile further out may be found splen-
did building, which cost $4,000, the
gift Of benevolent man (now dead)
named Taylor, to be used as an Asylum
for orphans. 1t is situated beautiful
", and has an endowment Of S125, 900
also bequeathed by MIR. Taylor-for
its support. America has no more
splendid rural scenery than that Of
this suburb Of Racine. I shall leave
the luxury Of this beautiful retreat,
and return to our thriving young city,
where hope to arrive ON Tuesday eve

Nomination for Governor.

Tho State Convention, in its non,ina-
ton Of Hon. G.. X. DAVIS, as Il candi-
date for Governor, has recognized the
uselessncss, and in fact, the criminal'ty
Of pcrpctuatine monopolies by the aid
Of politics. The people can now feel
encouraged The most gigantic politi-
cal effort ever put forth, in Minnesota,
has proved wholly abortivo, and filled
the schcmers with deepes: dismay. We
hoped for the nomination Of Governor
Armstrong. His character, his ability,
his freedom from rings, his conserva-
tism and his eminent public services,
marked him as man peculiarly adap-
ted to the Executive Office; but the
Convention has given US Mr.. Davis and
unless subsequent nominations shall
prove what We arc inclined to suspect,
chat lis promotion was the result OF a
"bargain" whereby both corrupt and
incompetent mon are to be pcrpstuated
10 Office, We shall accept and support
him cheerfa]iy, and, mainly tor the fol-
lowing reasons, viz: He is too young to
have been already corrupted by politi-
cal practices :; he originated With the
common people, and has made himself
known and felt, in spite Of adverse cir
cunstances be is possessed Of trans
cendant ability, is thorough scholar
and an eminent lawyer. lie has con-
s,stently and ably defended the inter-
ests Of thepcople, against the encroa'h'
mcnts Of privileged classes he under
stands the relation which capital should
sustain to labor; is political econo-
n,ist-a practical man and good cit
izcn.
With all these qualities combined
in the incumbent, NC shall lift the Ex-
ecutive Office into q realm Of dignity
and influence, a contamination most de-
v"utly to be wished.
