DIR. w. w. REED. of Jefferson, is men
toned by the democratic press as can
didate for governor on the democratic
ticket. The Doctor is a pretty level
headed man and could sustain defeat
this fall with as much equanimity as any
man that could be selected Ii he will
take the nomination the democrats could
do no better than to confer upon him the
honor Of leading the democratic party to
defeat The Doctors barrel is larger
than the average democrat, and ne might
be induced to knock few Of the upper
hoops off if a nomination came to him in
a pleasant way. But even this would
not save him from being buried under
$4,000 majority

By an arrangement with the Chica-
go, Burlington & Quincy Railroad the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul Rail
way has commenced running train
daily between Minneapolis, St Paul and
St. Louis, making the trip in q hours.
The start is made from Minneapolis at
6 o'clock a. N. and from St. Paul an
hour later. The route selected is along
the Dubuque and river divisions to Sa-
wanna, and from that poiut to Rock Is
land where the train transferred
to the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy S
track and taken south to ST. Louis.
This new arrane ement will not be OF
benefit to Chicago or Milwaukee, but
will be a big thing for ST Louis.

INDIANS IN Notwithstanding
to the census reports, there are 1854 In
dams in the State Of Wisconsin. Of
this number 2,784 are engaged in civil
pursuits, 1908 being farmers. OF the
entire number, all but about 50 wear
citizens clothes, or an approach thereto.
There are two Indian boarding
schools, and nine day schools in Wiscon-
sin. The Government expends IS, 243
annually on these schools and the relig-
ious societies 81, 288. One thousand
two hundred and seven Indians can
read, IFS having learned to read within
a year. Among the Indian tribes in
Wisconsin during the year, 1873 deaths
have occurred and 161 children have
been born. These Indians have 845, 1876
acres in there reserves, and till 8,647
acres They raised last year 1906 bush

Ireland has decreased in population
since 1871 from $780, 900 to 500, 900 in
1881, loss of more than 100000 in
forty years At this rate the Irish troub-
les are on sure road to settlement.
When the people are all dead the eom-
tay will be quiet. 1t must be that
thought which leads the London Times
to say that the depopulation exhibited
by the census Indicates q constant
weakening Of the turbulent class and
say it as though it was pleased by the
outlook.

THE G. REENBACk CONTEN-
TON.

THE GREENBICK CONTEN-
TON.
Our city was enliyened yesterday by
the holding Of the National Greenbacll
State Convention which convened at
Turner Hall at noon. The convention
was fairly attended, AL things considered,
about 100 delegates being present repres-
enting each of the eight congressional dis
tricts Of the state. Woman's Rights was
recogized in is broadest sense by the
Greenbackers several lady delegates be
ing reported. Such old wheel-horses in
the imitation cause as Col. r. May, NJ. II.
Barnum, D. ". c. Priest, George God
frey, David Giddings, Robert Schilling,
and others were on hand to give inspira
ton to the fat love feast, and it was very
evident that the promise Of the presence
ofEx-Congressman Ell. Gillette, Of Iowa,
and Rev.GDe La Matyr, ofIndiana, con-
tributed to the swelling of the numerical
proportions Of the convention beyond what
otherwise might have been expected.
q W. ii, Lockwood, Of Ripon, presided
over the deliberations, II. Miller, Of Wa
sau, and TIC. Brunson, of Prairie dUChien
acting as secretaries. After the trans
action of.tbe preliminary business. Hon,
E H. Gillette addressed the convention
IL 8 speech of over two hours in length
in which be paid his respects to both the
ole parties. charging them to be INSOFAR
able in their support Of the monopolists
Of the country, and drawing a fearful
picture of the dire condition of things
through republican and democratic leg
islation in Congress led OF by. Speaker
Randall. He dealt of course il exaggora-
tons and broad assertions which seem
to be the natural outcome ola greenback
education But the speaker is a fine ora
ator, plain, sharp and incisive. He was
listened to throughout with marked at
tention, and drew from his auditors en-
raptuous applause. At the close of the
speech came the nomination of the fol-
lowing state ticket, by acclamation:
Goverror-Edward p Allis, of Mil
waukee.
Lieutenant lGovernor-David Gid
dings of Fond du Lac
Secretary Of State-William Hopkins,
Of Chippewa Falls. go
Treasurer-Gerhar hammers, of Cedar
Grove. #
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
toni. A. Gaynor. Of Grand Rapids.
Attorney General-Joel Foster, of Riv-
er Falls.
Railway COMMISSIONER. G. Brun-
son, of Prairie du Chen
Insurance Commissioner-Loren
Merrill, of Burnet.
The platform adopted reafirms the
Chicago Greenback platform: recognizes
in the attempt on The life Of President
Garfield natural result Of the spoils sys-
tenn and that all public afficers as far as
possible should be elected by the people;
favoring woman suffrage and demanding
the withdrawal Of the $3.50, 900, 600 loan
TO the National Banks to be applied to
the payment of the National debt
In the evening the convention was adj
dressed by Rev. G. DeLaMatyr, who
spoke in his fervent and eloquent style,
rather too dramatic and sensational, we
thought, for scme of his hearers, but SILL
an impressive and foIcible speaker; given

This is a fourth attempt to kill Presi-
dent Of the United States, and when we
say that, we do not forget the vague sus-
plcions that were afloat when Harrison
and Taylor died natural death, as was
claimed by their families and physicians.
Near the close Of Jacksons term he was
attacked by an Englishman out Of work,
who twice snapped a pistol at him within
a fewjinches Of the Presidents head. In
1857 an effort was made to poison Presi-
dent James Buchanan, which was unsuc
cessful and even the motive OF it is still u
mystery. Mr. Iincoln's assassination is
well and painfully remembered, and the
event Of Saturday last is still the sensa-
ton Of the hour

TWO Memors, 10 Journeys.

As this paper passes into the hands
of our readers the train bearing the bo-
dy of James A. Garfield to its last
restjng-place is moving back over the
route which carried him to Washing.
ton to take the Office of President. The
contrast between that day aud this
could not be more pathetic. The ia
nous ride to Long Branch will De his
toric. But no such dramatic contrast
was there as we see here. We now
know that the flying train to Long
Branch, which passed through silent
sympathetic crowds all the way from
Washington north carried dying man
and that this bold manIuvre, which 1t
was hoped might save his life, was
foredoolr ed to failure Six months ago
on the other hand. When General Gar
field set ou: from Mentor for Washing
ton, he was in the prime and vigor
of a splendid manhood, which promised
mauy wears of public usefulness and a
bale cid age. His physical equipment
for the work before him seemec as com.
plete and imposing as his intellectual
power. He had Just received, at forty
nine years of age, the votes OF four
and a half millions of voters for the
Presidency. He had given up seat
in the United Senate, to which he had
been previously elected, but which the
time had not yet come to fill, in order
to accept the Presidency. To most men
this alone would have been a brilliant
prize, hut it become fairly insignificant
beside the greater honor. He had been
for a number of years the leader Of his
party in the popular branch OF Con-
gress. To any man in such a situation
the cup of honorable ambition might
we'll have seemed to be full. How far
many of us were from foreseeing the
sad contrast of today. And yet his
ambition to do noble work for his aoun-
try, and to be remembered for it, was
so lofty that perhaps if he had known
how be was to be caught up in the peo-
pies heart and enthroned as their hero
he would not have wished it other
wise.-Tribune.

MFg Garfield,
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t was with the dying President Ms
|w ith many another man. Death came
so swiftly that there was neither time
nor consciousness for last words. Nor
were they needed. All had been said
between that husband and wife. True
Ito the last, her firm hand held his in a
steady clasp, when no help remained
|but to stand steldfast and see him die.
True to the last, mindful only of him,
Eno weakness of uncontrolled weeping
disturbed the stiffness AS the sufferer
drew his signing breath. Butthe newly
made widow crossed the threshold of
THAT room into another care, as faithful
land almost as tenderly mindful of her
.as the manly protecting arm struck a.
|way from her side-she passed iuto the
devoted charge of this nation. With
)no cold waiting for what Congress
might or might not do, the people be-
gan to send their assurance, while yet
President Garfield lived, that his wife
was to be provided for. 1t was COM
| fort to have this nnsought assura nee,
with tender foresight sending forward
!its substantial pledges. We all know
now that it was grateful to both hns-
/ band and wife that the future, dark
enough with the coming separation,
had not one added care. 1t was OF ly
the beginning that was made Of tn,
(fund for Mrs. Garfield, but it wa,
enough to show that the guards were
around her. 1t was enough 70 relieve
|the Presi lent, poor man save for his
Just begun salary, from any anxiety as
to either present expenditures for his
perlouS needs or the future OF his wife
land boys Congress had taken care Of
Mrs. Lincoln, it is true. But this time
|the people did not wait for act of Con.
sress. As it was begun, so it will go
forward, spontaneous, a free Offering
'the little sums counting even richer
than the large ones, because OF certain
verses in an Old book, whose arithmetic
is not Of this world.
1t is not that Mrs. Garfield has done
other through her bitter trlal than many
|ano'her ',uman. 1t is not that sheI
was braver or steadier at her post than
other wives have teen. 1t is because
he is OF the truest type of American
wives that all men and women row look
with reverence toward the quiet figure
lat EN- eron. OVERWHELMINGLY, serenely
cheerful, putting her own bodily weak
mess by from the moment the news
reached her Of her husbands danger,
she took her place at his bedside TO show
|us all the mettle of which all tru.j
|womanhood is made. That is why tht
peoples hands, from childhood 20 oltI
|age, are stretched out now in otfering|
ITO her. That is why the Queen OF Eng-|
land, with her own sad memories of
true hearted wife and tender nurse at
her husbands bedside, sends sister \
greeting of sympathy in this sharp tr:a
that has brought the Presidents wife
10 her own loneliness of eminent sorrowl
More than widow III one sense, for the
shot that killed James A. Garfield was|
not leveIled at the man.
