Wisconsin is prosperous in all branches of in
dustry. Our agricultural interests are increas-
ing, and our products rank with the foremost in
the market; the mechanic and laborer are sd-
yancing by rapid strides, and their homes are
pleasant and show evidences of prosperity. The
educational advantages are rapidly Increasing,
and they have been highly commended by the
Natioual Teachers Ssociatiou. The state
finances are in a better condition than ever be-
fore. There is now in ths treasury be-
longing to the general fund a balance OF
STl1 ,33i17, and this amount together with
the railroad and other license fees, is amply
sufficient for all the ordinary expenses of the
state for the next two years without the levy of
any addition state tax. Tks is the first time since
the organization of the state that such condi
tion has been reached, and by judicous manage
ment this condition may be continued.
Gentlemen, accept the nomination so gener-
ously rendered me to-day, and hope may ever
merit your confidence and esteem; again, gentle
men, from the b ,ttom of my heart. thank you
for this expression of your appreciation.

Frank Campbell for La Fayette.

prevailed and a committee was ap-
appointed to bring in the nom
inee for exhibition and a
speech. The committee soon
turned and presented the candidate,
who was by the chair introduced to
the convention amidst a sudden out
burst of applause.

Mr. La Toilette accepted the nomI-

fa'sshood it was great success; In
any other light it was beneath even
the speaker. It opened with the
wholesale charge that every man who
ever voted democratic ticket-living
and dead-was both a thief and a
traitor. This it not only the substance
of his remarks, but very nearly the
words. This brilliant dash was
