is but little probability that the
people will ask him to continue il
congress any longer than his pres
ent term.
The Hazelton delegates charge
the Reyes faction with attempting
to " inaugurate a system of fraud
more dangerous, because more re.
fined, than ever prevailed even in,
South Carolina"
The Prairie du Chen Union, like
nearly every republican newspaper
in Wisconsin thinks that the tariff
question ought to be let alone
The people are just beginning to
let it alone with 4 vengeance.
John l.. Ingersoll, brother to
Robert G. Ingersoll, is the prohi,
bition nominee for assemblyman
from Waukesha county. 1t is said
that he is hardly less eloquent than
his brother Bob" and holds diamet.
REALLY opposite views on nearly all
questions.
Reyes did it with his little bolt.
Governor Fairchild says that, per.
sonally, he would like to see Burr
w. Jones elected to Congress.
And SO would we.
The prohibitionists have estab.
lishcd the precedent of making
political speeches on Sunday. But
perhaps it can be said they are
engaged in works of necessity and
mercy.
While here in Wisconsin the pro-
hibitionists are worrying the life
almost out of the republicans, over
in Nebraska the woman suffragists
are carrying on a lively campaign
all by themselves. Susan B. An
thony has taken the stump in that
state tn the interests of the cause,
The congressional contest be.
tween Reyes and Hazelton has
narrowed down to a kilkenney
cat fight among the friends of both
candidates. There may be some
prejudices and traditions left but
no principle,
In speaking of Hazelton's refusal
to withdraw from the congressional
fight the Milwaukee Evening Wis
conSin says:
The action of lIazelton is the more TO bt
deprecated because his obstinaey in remain
ing in the field perils the organization of the
next house of representatives. We do not de
ny that he had strong case in the fact tina
twenty-five delegates back his pretensions
But large patriotism should have taught him
10 subordinate his personal desires for the well
being If the country"
VIM. T. Parry, author of the II o.
torious anti-treat law, is running
for state senator on the repub-
lican ticket in Columbia county
The prohihitionists refuse to endorse
him, however, and will run an in.
dependent temperance man against
him. Verify, the way of the man
who attempts to compromise the
temperance question is hard.
Many of the republican editors
hereabouts have lost their teinpers
and have gone to scolding the pro-
hibitionists. 1t appears that they
can't stand adversely. Don't get
excited boys, but wait until you
have been defeated As many times
rs the democrats and you will
know better how to take 4 little
political joke. We used to gel
angry, but it does no good.
Notwithstanding the expressed
desire of Postmaster General Howe
Senator'S Sawyer and Cameron, Ed.
Sanderson, chairman of the repub-
lican state central committee, and
others who stand high in the coun,
ellis of the party, that both Keyes
and Hazelton withdraw from the
congressional race, the latter has
concluded to remain in the field
until the people at the ballot box
decide the contest" Mr.. Hazelton
will hear from the people in No
vember.
