The Milwaukee Commercial Times at
tempts to throw dirt upon Messrs. Gray
Greene, Dunning, Gurnee and Orion,
and to belittle these very respectable
Democrats by asking the above ques-
tions. Such meanness will not go down.
These men have all lived too long in
Wisconsin (; have occupied too promin-
ent positions in the Democratic party,
to be laughed down by few impudent
questions, by some scribblers who per-
haps has not lived three weeks in the
State. Of course, We have no sympathy
4 with the political sentiments of these
gentlemen; we have opposed them poll
tically for macy years; but we have
known them intimately as men, and
know they have been leading members
of the Democratic party a long time We
know our party has suffered severely
from the blows these same gentlemen
have inflicted, and we apprehend the
| little man Of the Times will learn who
they are before he. ismany months older,
if he is capable OF receiving information.
We propose brief answers to the above
Questions:
Mr.. Ell Ell. Gray is a very old resi-.
dent of the State, and has been recognized
as among the abIest members of the Dem
ocratic party. AS for proof of this, that
Iparty sent him to the Assembly in 1866
and 1858 and tot tie Senate in 1869 1870.
He was long member of the Board
of Regents of the State University, and
was deemed a very able and valuable
member of that board. These are only
some of the positions he has held through
the favor of the Democratic party.
Walter S. Greene has been known for
many years, as one Of the rising young
men of TIE Democratic party shining
Hight in it. In 1862, he represented
his party in the Assembly, and Jefferson
county in The Senate, in 1924 AZ
the present time, Mr.. Greene is mems
Der of the State Central Committee of
the party to which the Commercial Times
belongs, and ore of the strongest men
on it.
Hon. Philo Dunniag has lived in
Dane county some thirty-fve years; he
helped organize the Democratic party
in 1910; has always been a leading
member of it and was elected to Office
1 II fhof NJ xrroo fc
dldate for the State Senate in 1866; was
elected Speaker pro tenn. OF that body.
He has known William r. Taylor init
mately ever since that gentleman became
resident of the State, and what he Goes
not know about him, is not worth know
ing. He lives in Madison.
Hon. John D. Gurnee for nearly TWEEN.
lty years has been prominent democrat
of this city; has been counted on as an
able aud shreWd leader of that party.
He represented the Capital district as q
Democrat IN 1872, and at the present
! time, is member of the State Central
Committee of that party. "Never heard
of him BEFORE eh
We will take the large reward offered
in the case of Philo A. Orton. He is
one of the ablest and most influential
democrats in Southwestern Wisconsin.
Has been look upon as the substantial
leader of the party in that section of the
State for many years. In 1861, he was
honorcd by his party, with the nomina-
ton for Attorney-General Of the State;
in 1874, he was appointed by Gov. W.
r. Taylor, a Regent of the Wisconsin
University. Need we say more to indi-
cate who Philo A. Orion is, and to be
entitled to the reward?-State JoarnaJ.
