BURR W. JONES FOR CONGRESS-

The convention that met at Dodge
vile has given the party and the whole
people candidate for congress who is
entitled to every vote in the district as
against the two men whom the repub-
licans have placed in the field.
Burr W. Jones, the nominee, is a
man who represents IN marked de-
gree the spirit of political progress.
He is not handicapped by affiliations
that would cast their baneful Influences
| upon his conduct as a servant of the
people. He is wholly unhampered by
record that detracts from the con-
fdence which all honest men might
place in him as their representative.
His public political career has been
confined to two terms as dis
trict attorney of Dane county. He en-
tered that responsible Office a ayoung
man but recently admitted to the bar,
and left at the expiration of the second
term with the full confidence and es-
TEEN of the constituents whom he had
ably and faithfully served. Since that
time he has rapidly built up remu,
nerative practice at the bar 10 this
city, where only merit could succeed.
He is not politician nor seeker after
offices. The nomination given him by
the Dodgeville convention was wholly
unsought. 1t was a genuine compli-
ment to worthy man, and one of
those rare instances where the office
seeks the nominee.
Mr.. Jones is a native of Wisconsin
and is thirty-six years old. His birth
place was Evansville. He graduated
with high honors from the state uni
versity in 1870, and rom the law de-
partment of the same institution later
Besides being twice elected to the
district attorneyship he was nominated
for the assembly in 1879 and made a
splendid though unsuccessful canvass.
1t is unnecessary and gratuitous where
he is SO well known, 10 say that he is
thoroughly honorable, that he is
man of broad culture and liberal edu-
cation, or that he is a representative of
the best type of political reformers. All
this can be trutnfully sid Of him, how
ever
The nomination gives unbounded
satisfaction in this county. 1t was re-
ceived in this city with enthusiasm. 1t
is most gratifying evidence that the
democracy of the nev third district
mean to put their advanced political
ideas to a practical testbefore the peo-
pie. Mr.. Jones is candidate worthy |
of leading the people il a fight against
the corrupt and corrupting influences
of recent republican rule. He repre-
sents not alone the progressi i've and en-
lightened sentimentin his own party,
but that in the republican |
in thi. dlsSrlcG ii99 %iS ~ ~
heartily discouraged over the situation
in their own ranks. Those men of all |
parties who desire to see check put
upon the demralizing drift of legisla-
ton and political methods, ought, as a |
matter of principle, to assist in sending
such men as Burr w. Jones to con
gress. If all such men are honest with
themselves at the polls, Mr.. Jones will
be triumphantly elected.

Another Forged Proxy at Saratoga

New YORK, Sept. 25.-It appears
that another forged proxy was used at
Saratoga. Judge Smith, of Cortland, a
few days before the convention found
he would not be able to fill his place
on the state committee. He is half
breed. He communicated with Mr.
Vroman, to whom he sent his proxy,
with directions to I'LL it un with the
name of some reliable half breed.
Vroman was casting about for
some trustworthy proxy of that
description when ne got a
telegram purporting to come
from Judge Smith, telling him not to
fill the blank until ex-Assemblyman
Corley arrived. Believing the dispatch
to be genuine, Vroman awaited the
coming of Corley, and when that indi-
vidual arrived, he told Vroman that
Jndge Smith wished Mr.. Montaney, of
Marathon, to serve as his proxy. The
called Montaney's name a
proxy, and that gentleman served and
voted with the stalwarts straight
to the surprise of ali hands but those in
the secret. The French affair made
Vroman suspicious, and he wrote to
Judge Smith and he pronounced the
telegram bogus, and denounced the
deception.

ed John F. Smith chairman.
