Preparing for the German Orator In WIS
consin, which Has Come to be a Doubt-

MnwAuxEE, Wis, August 3l.-Great
preparations are being made by the Ger
mans of this city for the reception OF Carl
Schurz, who will make two addresses here
He will arrive Saturday of next week, and
that evening will deliver an address n Ger
man in Schlitz park. The Mopaay night
following he will speak in English at the
Academy Of Music, The independents in
this city and in the State are about to or
ganize for an active campaign, The break
among German Republicans Is one oflarge
proportions and is proving a source Of
worry to the R.epubican party managers
The prohioitiOn question has alien
sted large element, and especially many
connected with the large brewing interests
of the State. At Lacrosse the Republi
cans concede that many influential Ger
mans, formerly Republicans, have decided
to support Cleveland. From all that can
be gathered from Democratic and Repubh
can politicians who visit this city it looks
as though Wisconsin can safely be reckOned
as doubtful State, with very good prospects
for a Democratic success. An address
signed by 1000 workingmen of the Bay
View rolling mills was issued from the Re
publican headquarters today, calling upon
the laboring men of the State to oppose
Cleveland because of the vetoes he has
made as governor of New York.

HoosIER INDEPENDENTS.

Organizing for a Bold, Aggressive Cam
paign-A Ringing Address sent Out.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 3l.-The Indepen-
dent Republicans of Indiana have organ
ized and issued a ringing circular to their
brethren throughout the State. This ad-
dress is issued after careful investigation
of the public and private careers of both
candidates for the Presidency. A few brief
extracts gives it's drift. The closest inves
tigation," it says, proves that after many
years OF public life James G. Blaine has no
important service to his country to point to
and has no tangible result to show except
large accumulation of wealth at the end of a
line of concealed financial speculations in
property directly or indirectly concerned
with Congressional legislation. The
Mulligan letters are the Mulligsn letters
still On their face they indicate shameless
corruption in public office on the part of
Blaine. No other Interpretation has been
offered; no Republican paper has made
manly attempt to meet these letters. On
the other hand, we have the cowardly spec
tacle of the leading Republican journals of
Indiana standing mute in their presence,
refusing to print them and dishonesty de-
ceiving their readers by keeping the truth
from them"
The Endorsement of Cleveland is strong
and hearty he address says: with
equal confidence we recommend all Repub-
icans who regard good government as
thing to be desired to vote for Grover Cleve-
land The address is signed BY Lucas B.

Office, and while, as Isuppose, he was in the
discharge Of many of the duties Of the
President. That appeal was not answered,
