Col. A. Ii. JETMoRE, of Kansas,
nominee for governor on the prohibi-
ton ticket, has written letter TO the
committee Of notification, and de
clines the nomination because he
thinks prohibition can only be accom-,

party. He thinks it is not yet time
to form a national prohibition party,

THE STATE TICKET.

The democratic state conven ton
met IN this CITY at noon on Wednes-
day, and put in nomination a most
excellent state ticket headed by that
sterling and excellent citizen,
HON n d. FRATT,
of Racine. He is one of the old citi-
sens of Wisconsin, and is well known
to the people of the whole state Mr..
Fratt is farmer aud for years was
president of the Racine county agri-
cultural society In 1873 he was
chosen president of the state agricui
tural society, whish position he still
holds. Except in his capacity as an
officer of some agricultural society
and municipal positions and the Office
of state senator one term, Mr. Fratt
has not held any public office BE has
devoted all his time nearly TO the
state agricultural society for several
years and is never happier than when
engaged in the work of promoting
agricultural interests of the state. His
nomination is regarded by all as one
of the strongest that could have been
made

THE Monroe Sun of Sept. 18th has
the following to say of the trick
cry anA dishonesty by which Mr. j.
b. Treat and Groen county were de-
frauded out of their just deserts by the
packed Dodgeville convention:
WAYS THAT AHE DARR.-The demagoguery and
political skull duSgery by whcn Green county
was swinicd out Of her just rights at the late con
gressiona convention at Dodgeville, was the most
shameful that ever dsgraced the political annals
Of any country. The Hon J u, Treat was made
tho victim of deep laid scheme by which one La
Toilette, tendcrlng fresh from the university,
was given the nomination that had been promised
to Green county Republicans in this city give
vent to their Indignation in words not loud, but
deep, at this outrage We shall have something
further to say regarding this matter In our next

THE Maine and Vermont elections
dispel one fond hope of the republi-
cans. Ia Ver.nont it was shown by
the election returns that the strongest
democratic gains came from the towns
which had tho largest number of
Irish American voters. The same is
true Of Maine. IN Watervillc, where
there are quite large number of
Irish American voters, the democratic
vote was increase! from All to 1872 in
Brunswick it was increased nearly 100
votes; in Lewiston 232, in Portland
27G, in Bangor 10G. In Blddeford,
where there are several hundred Irish
American voters, the most remarkable
gain was m lde, the vote having been
run up from 97G to 1896, while the
republican fell off from ,057 TO 976.

The freight rates of our great trunk
lines have been ADVANCED, but this will
have no effect on the price of DR.. Bulbs
Cough Syrup, which is sold at the old
price of % cents q bottle.
For the Republican party we still can
claim that it is the party of the American
people. To it belongs the moral victory
of the year. In the states in which
every citizen is free to vote, and every
vote is honestly counted, it has an i'm
mense popular and electoral majority. 1t
ubmits to resign the insignia OF power,
because it has no constitutional and
peaceful redress against notorious wrong
the using of fraud and violence in ma
tonal elections. 1t has the military re-
sources of the Nation on its side. Its
voters are the men who filled the Yictori-
our ranks of the national armies But it
values the peace OF the Nation above ali
party advantage, and it casts itself in
confidence Oh the future.-The Ameri-
can, Philadelphia.
Statistics just collected, prove that a
larger business is done by telegraph com
panies in the United States than in any
other country in the world. Over 80, 900,
900 messages were sent last year. Grea
Britain sent nearly 100000, France
100000 and Germany $4,000 900: the
total for the world was 1853, 900, 600; fully
one-half were sent in English speaking
countries. Germany has nearly as many
telegraph offices as the United States,
although so much smaller in area, and
doing less than half the business. Great
Britain, on the contrary does larger
business with comparatively few offices.
The Canadian dominion claims more
telegraph Offices in proportion to popula-
ton than any other country.

how handsome or stalwart young man
