The Chronicle fights its battles by

meeting he would make speech in
which no would retaliate 10 kind,
against the DsYoung brothers, pub
fishers of the Chronicle. He had
copy OF a paper published SONS
years ago in Kansas which gave
scurrilous sketch Of the lives of the
lives of the DeYoungs. He said
that at this meeting he would read
that sketch. A report says that the
DeYoungs sent him word that if he
read that paper at that meeting
they would shoot him at sight. The
meeting was held and it was one of
the largest ever held in San Fran
cisco. Kolloeh did not read the pa

the DeYoungs to be the bastard

JARIUs G. FAIRCHIIp.

whowas State Treasurer under Gov.
Dewey, both terms, came to Wiscon-
sin from Ohio about 1913, residing
first at Milwaukee aud afterward at
Madison, where he kept up a large
store with general assortment of
goods. He was OF muscular and
massive build, with a powerful will,
a temper not easily excited, but high
and tempestuous when awakened,
with abilities which we're great by
nature, and which lacked education
and polish, but had been greatly
sharpened by experience, observation
and reflection. He had strong com.
mon sense and homely philosophy
which was rich and impressive, with
dashes of quaint humor, which rem
dered him most instructive and inter.
esting in conversation After serv-
ing as treasurer he labored anxiously
in 1851 aud in 1853 to secure the
Democratic nomination for Governor,
very nearly reaching the object of his
ambition, in the latter year, when he
received within very few of enough
votes to make him the candidate, but
he was finally defeated by the A.
Hyatt Smith and Barstow combina-
ton, the latter being nominated, and
elected. Col. Fairchild was after
wards, in 1855, elected first mayor of
Madison, and he took an active part
in politics and public affairs until his
death, in 1864 or '65. He was father
of the late Col. Cassius Fairchild and
of ex-Gov. Lucius Fairchild, now
United States Consul General to
Paris, and was far ADLER man than
either of them. He was one OF the
foremost men in the territory and
state, and his portrait occupies not.
iceable place in the gallery of the
state historical society.
JAMES 8. BROWN,
the first Attorney General of the
state, came to Milwaukee back into
the '40's, and opened on Wisconsin
street, in this city, q law office, with
the sign "Deutcher Advocat," to
which clients thronged in good and
profitable numbers. After serving as
Attorney General during Dewey's
first term, he retired from that Office.
He was afterwards mayor of Milwau
kee and member of Congress, and
died at his home in this city a few
years ago.
TIE ONLY SURVIVOR
OF all the state officers who served
with Gov. Dewey, is S. Park Coon,
who came to Milwaukee in 1916 ore,
took prominent part in local affairs,
and in politics and was elected Attor-
ney General in lS49. He entered
upon the duties of his office, January
l, 1850, and retired at the end of a
single term. He resided in Milwau.
kee, afterwards, till 1861, when he
was appointed, by Gov. Randall, Col
of the Second Wisconsin regiment.
He displayed some conspicuous good
qualities, among which was pluck and
courage, as an officer, but was unpop
ular IN his regiment and resigned -
He is now a resident of Chicago.
ELEAZoR ROOT
was a member of the second consti-
tutional convention from Waukesha,
and was Superintendent of Public
Instruction during both terms Of Gov.
Deweys administration In 1852 he
was member of the Assembly from
Marquette county. His subsequent
history is not known to this writer,
and it is merely assumed that he is
not now among the living, as he was
at that time man past middle age,
and it was thirty years ago.

\ COUNTER 1RR1rANr FOR THE PRESIDENT.
New York, Feb. 27.-The chamber Of
commerce to-day earnestly invoked Presi.
dent Hayes to withhold his signature from
the anti-C Chinese bill. The measure is char.
acterized in the resolutions ~ establishing q
bad precedent; as an unworthy political
concession to the lawless spirit Of single
state, under whose laws the subjects of Chi.
No have enjoyed neither peace nor safety
as tending TO degrade the national character
in the sight Of all other nations; - calcula.
ted to imperil the life of the missionary and
impair the value Of his teachings; - ex-
p3sing the merchant in his dealings to the
consequences Of public dishonor. and finally
~ presenting the hasty action of our con.
sressional body in sorry contrast with tbs
more cautious and digni6ed wisdom Of tn.
