THE REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS DECIDES TO
VOTE AGAINST HIS CONFIRMATIoN-IHs DEFEAT
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1876-08-23

Mr.. William Powrie, of Sussex
gives us the particulars of dastardly
attempt to outrage a young lady in the
town OF Lisbon, near Sussex, last week
Friday. 1t appears that on the day
mentioned, the family of Mr.. j. r.
Weaver had left his residence. with
the exception OF his daughter, aged l6
years, and she was arranging her toilet
about [ o'clock p. NJ, with the inten-
ton of making visit to the village.
During this time, and while facing the
mirror, she saw the shadow of a man
climbing fence near the house and in
front of the door, which stood open.
AS strangers are frequently passing
that way, nothing was thought of the
incident, but shortly after the Young
lady discovered the man standing in
the room only a few feet from her.
When he saw that his presence was
known he addressed her with. Good
afternoon, Miss. You are all alone
are you?" She replied that "it was
none OF MS business whether she was
alone or not" He then said that she
had come to keep her company during
the afternoon" and stepped to bed
room door and told her to anter; this
she emphatically declined to do, and
started to run from the house. He
followed her into the kitchen and at
tempted to drag her back to the bed
room, but she escaped from his grasp,
and seeing some fat-lrons upon the
stove, she seized one and hurled it.

irons until six had been thrown, FIVE
of which proved effective. She then
took mop, which, luckily, was near
by, and began to pummel her would-bs
destroyer over the head. The woman
and mop were too many for, him, so he
reasoned that discretion was the better
rart of .valor and made precipitate
retreat, leaving the brave girl in full
possession of the house. - WauAesAa

Sitting Bull at West Point.

A correspondent of the Richmond
Despatch says:
There may be all truth in the stor,
that Sitting Bull and Bison" Mclean
are one.
"Bison" Mclean was a cadet al
West Point from Missouri from 1914
to l84S. and stood we'll intellectually
in large and bright class.
His diploma was refused him when
his class graduated in 1S4S, he having
been convicted before a court marital
of dishonorable conduct.
During the summer Of 1852 [ met
him in New Mexico. He had Joined
the Gila Apache Indians; had been
adopted into the tribe, and had with
him wife or two from among the
squaws. At this meeting he declared
to me that he would never forget nor
forgive the injustice and injuries he
conceived he had received from his
classmates and the academic authori-
ties at West Point. .s-
If "Bison" Mclean is living he is
49 or SO years old In character he
is stro g aad rugged His nature is
unfamed and licentious, his courag e
superb, and his physical qualities al
most herculean, except in SIZE. He is
fair complexioned, light colored hair,
very full bearded, and hairy-bodied
man, with large head and bold, ir
regular, full face. His height is about
five feet 10 or | | inches, and "a years
ago he would have weighed about LIS
or l80 pounds. ea.7 a
When cadet there was no disguise
he would not assume and no hazard he
would not venture for the qualification
of his appetltes. He never used strong
drink when | knew him, and notwith
stand the great circumspection and
vigilance Of West Point authority he
thwarted it until the very end of his
career at that institution. and was then
brought to grief by the testimony of
his own classmates, against whose
watohfulness he had, perhaps. taken
no precaution. Such man, after
near 80 years experience among the
savages, might we'll fill the position OF
Sitting Bull. 70
While he was cadet, under the
cloak of false marriage. he ruined 9
pretty girl, Ef6e Conklin, who lived a,
Buttermilk Fails, mile or two below
West Point. 8g1
There are many con poraries o
Bison" Mclean, when at the military
academy, and some still in the army
who will corroborate the above.

REMIcK.-LA CROSSE, Aug. 49,
The person named F. A. Remrck.
whose name appears as secretary of the
bogus circulars purporting to come
from the National Union Republican
Committee and addressed to Republi-
can officials throughout Wisconsin, re-
sides in La Crosse, and is son of
John q. Remick, respectable citizen,
who represents several insurance COM
panies, among which are the Home Of
New York; the Hartford, and the
North America. The son, who is a
cIefk in the fathers Office, has been
assisting the Chairman of the Wiscon-
sin Democratic Committee, DR.. Wen
dell A. Anderson, of La Crosse, in
sending out compaign documents, was
beguiled into this contemplate fraud
by the crafty chairman, without the
knowledge of young Remick's father,
who dlscountenances this and all othor
dlshonorable means to carry out either
political or business schemes. Meth
er Remick senior nor Kemick junior
take any active part in politics, and
the blame and disgrace of the whole
affair rests upon the Democratic State
Committee and its chairman, who is
noted for this sort of political cunning.

Prophecy as to Hayes.

The following is copied (uerIatim) J
from the Phrenological Journal OF
March 1867, and is from the pen OF
the eminent phrenologist, Mr.. Fowler,
of New York: ~
Mr.. Hayes is 8 good-sized well
formed man. He is between the ex.
tremes of large or small or lean and
stout. He is every way well made,
has handsome head on rather hand
some body, and face which would in
troduce him favorably anywhere. His
complexion is light, skin forid, tenn
permanent composed Of the vital, mo-
tive and mental in nearly equal pro-
portions He is neither too fast or too
slow, excitable or sluggish, but he is
at once sufficiently energetic, original,
comprehensive, dignifed ard resolute.
He is more profound than snowy, and
bas more application than versatility.
He viii finish what he begins and
make thorough work. He has hope
full, happy, loving nature, is eminent
ly social, fond Of home, and all that
pertains thereto; indeed, when sur
rounded by wife, children and friends
he is as happy as king on his throne.
and as hospitable to all as he is kind
and considerate. But to be more speci.
fc: This gentleman is comparatively
young in years, and younger in spirit.
Though he has already accomplished
much, he has BY no means reached the
climax of his fame. He is a rising
young statesman, and, if spared, will
in the course Of few years, be found
in the front ranks Of the best minds
of the nation. We base our predic-
ton on the following points: l. He
has capital constitution, both inheri-
ted and acquired by temperate habits.
2. A large and well-formed brain,
with cultivated mind; with strong
integrity, homer, generosity. hopeful
ness. sociability, and all well guided by
practical good sense. At present he
may seem to lack fire and enthusiasm,
but age and experience will give him
point and emphasis. Mark Us! This
gentleman will not disappoint the best
expectations of the most hopeful.
