THE Cedarburg Neocs says: "The
Norwegians have already shown
signs of rebellion, and a large num-
Der have left the Republican party.
1t is presumed that the balance, with
few exceptions, viii follow when
the next election takes place" Now
the Hon. Fred Horn may know what
he is talking about and he may not

Warner was not made Governor,
nor Ole c. Johnson, Secretary Of
State, nor Halle Steensland, Treas
urer, and Nils p. Haugen was made
Railroad Commissioner, and in the
first flush of disappointment some
Norwegians whose particular pet
had been rejected by the conyen-
ton, went after strange gods, it
does not follow at all that the Nor.
wegian vote is going TO abandon the
party Of its long and unhinching
favor. To say that the Norwegians
are going out enmasse from the Re
publican party is to say that they
are a body of men without any
principle, or appreciation of princi-
pie in others. 1t is to offer them
the greatest possible insult. They

A PRESCRIPTION
ITO be Well Shaken Before Taken. "

No resident of the Sd Congress
sional District who feels any inter
est in the welfare Of the Republican
party, will deny the necessity Of
something being done ere long to
secure unity of action, if the district
is to be reclaimed next fall. As it
now stands, there are two sets Of
men each claiming to be the repub-
lican congressional district com
mittee. The first step toward unity
must be TO somehow resolve these
into one committee, or organize
n. new committe, which will be
recognized and respected by all
members of the party. An attempt
was made to bring this about last
spring, but it failed, rs other at
tempts may fail, because the persons
asked to take action refused to do
so.
If we wait for the so-called COM
mitees to move voluntarily toward
harmonizing, the prospect is not
bright for speedy action Hence
we suggest plans, not only for the
consideration Of the gentlemen
named as committee men, but for
the cogitation of the people gener-
ally. The TRIBUNE having been as
nearly neutral as 'twero possible to
be in the "unpleasantness," is as
well qualified to breach this subject
as anybody Our suggestions are
these:
First, That the gentlemen of both
committees named at Monroe, trans
nit to Judge Clementson, at Lancas-
ter, answers to questions such as the
following: " win YOU resign as q
member Of the republican congress
sional district committee, and recog
nize the chairmen of the severa
county committees of the district
acting together, as the only repub
hcan committee for the Sd district:
Will you meet with the gentlemen
named at Monroe as congressional
coEmittees, in Dodgcyille Tor an,
other place. on November 18th, SO
and abide by any plan supported b,
majority of such meeting, to leay,
but one committee claiming recoe
milton in the district Have yor
any plan to propose for the accom-
plishment of the desired object?"

lished in the Grant County Heral
and the State Journal, a statemen

the greatest number and variety of

circus performance was equal to the
best, but all agree that the three

ment on the old manner of circus
exhibitions. There were three diff
ferent performances going on at
once, and it was impossible to see
more than one approximately. The
city papers condemn this feature,
