THERE is pretty considerable of a
fight in progress in the happy family
which Is living under the false title
of the Peoples Reform party. In
fact, several fights. The Milwaukee
ring has its candidate for the COVER
norship and for the craftsmanship of
the State Central Committee; Madi-
son has its candidates for everything,
as usual; La Crosse stands by DR..
Anderson, and some Democrats are
in favor of nominating Judge Doc
little, of Illinois. The Milwaukee
ring proposes to manage the conven-
ton; Madison is set on it; while some
Democrats Of respectfully and iuflu-
ence are in favor of turning out the
entire crowd Of ringsters and making
the convention do a bit of clean and
honest work. The sympathies of the
public are with the latter, but it can't
raise a hope that they will succeed
against the Vaccinations of the wick
ed ringsters. 1t is all very sad be-
cause there was much congratulation
among Democrats as to the capital

The Darlington Republican ex-
presses the sentiment of the entire
Republican party of Wisconsin, when
it says: "One of the best and wisest
acts of the late Republican State
Convention was the election of Hon.
Horace Rublee Chairman of the
State Central committee. He it was
who led the grand old party through
it's first. fiercest and most successful
fights he gave the office dignity
and importance, and gathered
strength to the party, which, when
he WIS far away did not desert it.
He will not use his power and intlu-
ence to reward personal friends and
punish enemies, but as heretofore
pursuing straightforward, intelli-
gent course, will aim to unite all fac
tons, and again lead us to victory"
GENERAL EWING, in his Dayton
speech, spoke of Stanley Matthews
being a party to the bargain with
the South to secure the Presidency
to the Republicans. Senator Mat
thews, in answering the charge, said:
81 intend to make my denial, to
cover the accusation in every form,
w,t,en, verbal, implied, expire: SD,
collateral, incidental, in every posi-
bic form, shape, variety, mode tense,
or view, that the ingenuity or malice
of men may affirm 1t. 1t is lie.
There is not word of truth in it.
There is not particle of plausible
foundation for it. There is not an
event, a fact, a document, or an in
cident which could justify reason

the possibility of it. Every scrap
that ever | wrote or signed in con-
nection with the history Of that event
has been published far and wide. Ii

produce it. | defy all my accusers.
A REPORT is current that Prof. w.
G. Whitfo.d, the nominee of the Re-
publican Convention is in favor of
the text book scheme which the
Madison printers tried to get through
the Legislature last winter. We be-
lieve that the only foundation for
the report is the fact that the ,Stnte
JoWnai, before the Convention met,
spoke good word for the Profes-
sor The people are so much in
earnest in this matter that it would
he well to know just where Mr.,
Whitford does stand. We would
much rather support Prof. Soaring
than him, if it should be discovered
that he favors the text book scheme
as promulgated last winter.-Dou-

found in SO many Republican papers
as to render al explanation of Mr.

ANOTHER savings bank in Chicago
has gone to the wail-the Merchant
Farmers and Mechanics'-Mr Sid
ney Meyers, President. 1t is not a
a case of dedication and flight. Mr..
Meyers is in the city. and is not sus-
pected of any rascality. He offers
to surrender his entire personal
property. The deposits amount TO a
little over half million dollars, dis
tributed among about twenty-five
hundred people. The capital and
contingent fund.-" whatever they
may mean, were SIP QUO at the close
of the last fiscal year-June 30. His
deposits then were at least quar-
ter of million in excess of the pres
ent figures. The explanation of the
failure may be found in the shrink
age Of real estate values. Judge
Williams has appointed Mr.. s..
D. Ward, formerly city comptrol-
Ter, as Receiver of the suspended
bank, fixing his bond at 100000.
