will not be particularly affected by
the organization Of the Wisconsin AS
sembly and they are deeply grieved
because they lost the pickings and
stealings.
The much-hoped-for kick on the
part of hard money democrats didn't
make much Of a ripple, as only two of
them were found. Hon. Ed. G. Wall,
of Milwaukee, undoubtedly one Of the
ablest members Of the body, stood out
on a question of principle, and even he
is sadly stumped. Senator Rankin, who
engineered the job from beginning to
end. and displayed masterful ability
in it, took each Of the kickers and
catechised him separately. The con-
versation ran somewhat as follows:
Kicker-But l can't go in with the
Greenbackers; it S against my princi-
pies. We mustn't recognize them any
more.
Rankin-You were nominated and
elected on the Fond du Lac platform
Kicker-Yes.
Rankin--And you voted for Mallo-
ry. didu't you!
Kicker (remorsefully)-Yes.
Rankin-Well, if you could swallow
that platform and Mallory at once,
there is no excuse for you now. This
dose is pleasant by comparison.
The kickers all came in but Wall
and Mccoy. Even these had to admit
that they had gone the platform and
Mallory, but their early Christian ed
ucation compelled them to seek saliva
ton through reformation.

At the opening of the State Senate

literally. Money became very plenty
at very low rates of interest and bns-
mess revived.
Here we note how rapidly the crisis
came when contraction was ordered;
how insensible the Bank was to the
miseries of the people until it's own
solvehcy was threatened; and how
quickly. broadening of the currency
