in behalf of Cleveland at pole raising in the

about McAdoo.

A special to the New York World from
Shawnee, Wisconsin, says: You can put Wis.
consin down as n doubtful state, with the
chances in favor of the Democrats. The
Germans of the state are with us. Prohibi-
tionists claim 10000 votes, and will get at
least from 5000 to 5000. They are going
to have state, congressional, Legislative and
county tickets in the field. The Republican
State Central Committee are wildly Glamoring
for speakers and money to offset the tide that
has set in against Blaine. In Northern Wis
consin from one to dozen Republicans can
be found in each school district who will not
support Blaine, and from reports this extends
all over the state.
The Washington Post says The Boston
Trareller recently printed special dispatch
from Washington which stated in effect that
Hon. George A. Post, Secretary of the Con-
gressional Democratic Campaign Committee,
has expressed himself as very much dissatis-
fed with the nomination of Cleveland; that
it was slap in the face of the old Democra-
cy, etc. Mr.. Post desires to enter through
The Post an unqualified denial of the ridicu-
lous statement in which he says there is not
a single iota of truth. He doesn't think the
nomination of Cleveland was mistake, con-
sequently never said it was and doesn't know
anyone named "Towle," the name signed to
the dispatch referred to.
