SERIOUS RESULTS TO THE RHrI,RlIcAN
PARTY FROM AN AGITATION IN Favor
OF SUNDAY OBSERVANCE IN MILWAUKEE.
MILWAUKEE, July 1S.-Some weeks
ago large number OF the leading mer-
chants and business men Of this city
united in addressing . letter to the
managers of the local theaters request
ing a cessation of all theatrical per
formances on Sunday. This action
somehow came to be regarded us the
beginning of movement to enforce
the Sunday laws against all kinds of
Sunday amusements, at the German
gardens, and the keeping open OF sa-
looms, etc, on Sunday. The German
element has gradually become thor
oughly aroused in this matter, and
steps are now being taken to
solidify all opposition to the en-
forcement of the Sunday law. This
will have a tendency To aid the
county elections, especially as most of
the signers of the latter happened to be
republicans. The most important
phase of the whole matter, however,
is now developed in the determination
of the brewers of the city to Boycott
the merchants who signed the latter
that proved to be the beginning of the
present excitement Already Il tre-
mendous degree Of feeling has been
worked up, and the result begin TO ap-
pear in the countermanding of orders
given by brewers for goods to be fur
nished by trades people whose names
appeared in the list Of signers Of the
letter. One Of the leading brewers has
just countermanded an order for
several thousand dollars worth Of
furniture Similar doings are
reported in other depart
ments of trade, and the movement
will spread till all the signers will be
stricken from the list of those to be
patronized by the brewers. Capt.
Pabst, the manager of the Best brew
ing company, says:
We make no secret Of our purpose.
Some of the merchants of this city
have seen fit to take steps which are
intended ultimately to injure our inter
ests. We believe that we have some
rights in this community, and we pro-
pose to maintain them. These men
hive taken steps to assail and iFjure
our business. In reply, we take the
position that none Of us will patronize
such narrow-minded men. Hereafter
cur patronage viii 60 TO liberal minded
men. We want liberty. We are to
enjoy liberty, and we propose TO have

nize the republican party SO as to Sc
cure success in November" The let
ter of the candidates was as follows:
