Origin of the Terra ",ShanghaP as
Applied to the Republican
Party


All the older politicians of this
state well remember that the reput-
lican party of Wisconsin, during the
first few years of its existence, was
universally spoken of by its oppo-
nents az the Shanghai party"
term. In order to satisfy curios-
ity on this point. a gentleman Of this
city has been in correspondence
with many of the active politicians
Of 1854 So and obtained their recol-
lection Of the origin of the term.
The most of them only remember
that the Shanghai poultry was Intro
duce into the state about the time
the republican party was formed,
and know that in some manner the
clubbing Of therepubIican party as
"Shanghai,' was closely Unidentified
with that fact. Hon. James II. Earn
est, of Lafayette, gives the precise
origin Of the term, and as histor-
zeal fact we record bis statement.
Mr.. Earnest writes:
MILWAUKEE, May II, 1890.

toward Booth, and thought he was the cause
of Baird's defeat, aud were determined not TO
act with him in be election of Durkcc, ard
promised each other they would not 20 into

eight wigs refused to meet with them. The

ali, some are eating corpses and becoming Ill IN
consequence. Their lamentations are heart
rending, Most of them are dying as they have
nothing 10 eat Those of the inhabitants who
have lived until now between life and death
pray Won to give them such assistance as will
enable them to live. They take the liberty to
present their prayers with tears Of expecta-
ton which are flowing from their eyes cover
ed with blood.
(Signed) ARCHBISHOP or THE SYRIANs.
This letter Heap states was ad-
dressed to the United States lega-

suffering of these people is hides
cribably greater than anything Of
the kind in Ireland.
