An Inpertin ence.

A New York weekly newspaper
devoted to news and advertisements
of interest to brewers advises men
in that line of business TO vote for
Cleveland for President. The news
paper in question bases this advice
on a statement that it's publisher
has attempted but failed to procure
from Mr.. Blaine a declaration hos
tile to the regulation Of the brewing
interest by law.
Mr., Blaine acted properly and
rightly in declining to reply to de-
mands from any class as to his poll
teal views relating to that class, If
they can in no special way be the
subject Of adverse national legisla-
ton, or to be affected by the manner
in which, as President, he may dis
charge the executive duties of his
office. The brewing interests is but
little affected by United States laws.

1t is taxed under the internal reve-
nue. system, and tariff regulations
apply to the materials used in the
manufacture of beer and to imported
beer. But the question of regulat-
ing the beer industry by national
legislation is in no way involved in
this campaign, and the opinions of
Presidential candidates on the sub
iect are of no importance whatever.
70 demand of statesman who may
be candidate for President, that he
shall "defioe bis position" on the
beer question, is an impertInence,
and Mr.. Blaine has properly ignored
it.-Er.

HEARD FROM MAINE ?
1900 Republican Majority.

Democrats have confidently hoped
the result Of the state election in
Maine would be a reduced Republi-
crn majority, to be used as an argu-
ment that Republicanism was on the
wanc. Republicans only hoped to
carry the state 10y the usual majority
of eight or ten thousand. Instead
of all which, the returns of Tues
days election in the Pine Tree state
show Republican majority Of about
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND. Com.
ment on these figures is unnecessary,
They tell in the most expressive
terms, that the claims Of the oppo-
nents Of Blaine and Logan that the
ticket is distasteful to Republicans,
are groundIess; that the "graud old
party is being abandoned by the
sturdy New Englanders who have
from it's origin been its truest de
Tenders, is false. At least 5000 for
Blaine and Logon may be looked
for from Maine IN November.

The death of Judge Folger Thurs
day is an event which might be add
ed to those cited in DIR. Samuel
Johnson's powerful poem to further
illustrate the vanity of human
wishes. He was man Of ability,
and his professional and political
career had been a creditable one. In
1870 he was elected a member of
the New York State Court of APP
peals, the highest court In that State,
and hardly less in dignity than the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The term for which he was chosen
was fourteen years in length, and
would have expired the present year.
La 1880, on the death of Chief Judge
Sanford K. Church, he was designat-
ed to act in that place, and in the
same year he was elected by the peo-
pie to the same Office, his new term
in this more elevated position being
also for fourteen years from that
time. He was then 81 years of age,
and his term of office would have
carried him past the age of 70, when
New York Judges of his rank are
by law retired on full salary for the
remainder of their lives.
But under this weight of dignity,
Notwithstanding he was in an office
for which he was eminently fitted
and which he highly adorned, there
ranked an uneasy ambition for poll
teal distinction. With this restless
aspiration in his mind, be entered
into negotiations for place in Pres
ident Garfield's Cabinet, but they
amounted to nothing. When Ar
thur became President and recon
structed the Cabinet, Judge Folger,
was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury. This brought him into
the political arena, and in 1882 he
was made the Republican candidate
for Governor Of New York. His
defeat, by majority unparalleled
in political history, blighted his poll
teal ambition and his life.
After this phenomenal defeat
Judge Folger devoted himself more
assiduously than ever TO the labors
of his Cabinet office Highly adapt
ed to the duties of a judicial office,
the unaccustomed study of finance
and his novel ministerial duties at
the head of the national Treasury
were a worry and a vexation which
wore out his vital powers. Accus-
toned to the minute study of every
case, required Of Judge in decid-
ing points of fact and law, he at
tempted TO give the same study and
care tc the minute multitudinous de-
tails of national finance, which he
should have left to trained deputies
and clerks, and he made his labors
much greater than his strength to
bear them. A few days ago he re-
tired to his country home at Geneva,
n. Y, for a period of rest. His
cares, disappointments and griefs,
not the weight but the intricacy
and the exactions of his labors, aud
not years, but sickness of heart and
hope, produced the physical mala-
dies under which he sank into the
grave. 1t is a lesson and a warning
to men of great but restless aud as
piring Chicago Journal.

The State Convention,

In many respects the Republican
state convention held at Madison
last Wednesday, was remarkably be-
yond any previous convention held
within the state. Under the new
rule of representation, it was the
greatest in point of numbers; owing
to the presence of Gen. JohnAA. Lo-
gan the attendance of spectators
from various parts of the state was
greater than ever before; for the
first time in the history of the party
in Wisconsin, all of the incumbent
state officers were unanimously re-
nominated by reclamation on a sin
gle motion, and with an enthusiasm
never excelled. All the business Of
the convention was transacted and
adjournment effected within an hour,
making it the shortest session of a
state convention recorded in Wis
consin.
From the State journal we con-
dense the following biographical
sketches of the nominees of this re-
markable convention:
jeremiah NJ. Rurk assumed the
position of governor of Wisconsin,
on the first Wednesday in January,
1882, and he has so discharged the
duties of the office, that persons of
all parties are sounding his praise in
all parts of the state He is a strong
man by nature, and he has brought
to bear upon the discharge of the
duties of the office, his practical,
common sense, backed by long and
varied experience in public affairs;
and he has met every emergency
with firmness, and to the satisfaction
of the people. He is large-hearted,
broad minded, liberal and energetic
man, who shrinks from no duty.
Such a man never fails in any posi-
ton in life. Gov. Rusk is a native
of Ohio, born in 1880; came to Wis
consin in 1853 and settled in what is
now Vernon county; has held sever
al county Offices; was a member of
the assembly in 1862; enlisted for
the war in July, 1862, and went out
rs major of the 25th regiment; was
soon promoted to be colonel; was
with Gen. Sherman from the siege
of Vicksburg until the close of the
war, and was engaged in several
battles, in all of which he has con
Quoted himself with great gallantry
and bravery. He was brevetted
brigadier-general for bravery at the
battle of Salkehachie. On his re-
turn from the war, he was elected
bank comptroller, and served in that
office two terms. He served IN con
gresS six years, commencing with
the 4th of March, 1871; occupied
prominent positions on committees,
and was in every way an industrious
and useful member. lie was warm
friend of the late President Garfield,
and was offered by him several prom
iueut positions, which he declined.
In the uuest sense, GOV. Rusk is a
man Of the people, and he labors
manfully TO advance their true in
terests.

The Rally at Ma olson.

No political party ever had such
a start 10 Wisconsin as the Republi-
can party got at Madison last We'd
nesday.
General Logan and party arrived
there Tuesday evening; were met at
the depot by a crowd Of not less
than 1000 people and, escorted by
volunteers from the G. A. r. Post,
100 strong, proceeded to Governor
Rusk's residence; A major-general's
salute Of II guns in quick succession
waking the Capital City from lake
to lake. After tea the General and
his accomplished wife gave a recep-
ton in the assembly chamber, which
was beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion; the old flags Of different
Wisconsin regiments that served
under Logan being prominent fea-
ture. For two hours the throng
pressed by, in which time thousands
availed themselves of the opportuni-
ty to grasp the hand Of the gallant
General, and enjoyed the gracious
smiles of his queenly consort.
On Wednesday the General spoke
from the east steps Of the capitol to
crowd Of 5000 or more, and the
attention aud enthusiasm manifested
must have assured him that the PEG
pie Of Wisconsin appreciate his SER
vices to the country, and will so at
test in November
Col. John G. Spooner followed
Logan, in a magnificent speech, and
Hon. G. G.. Williams closed the ex-
ercises Of the afternoon in a most
happy, effective manner.
In the evening a torch-light pro-
cession, admittedly the finest ever
organized in Madison, was formed
and paraded the city for more than
an hour. Not less than 800 torch
es were in procession, and many
handsomely uniformed clubs. Par
ticular features were, the club of
100 old soldiers; a club of 100
young men who this year will cast
their first ballots; 200 delegates to
the state convention; the clubs of
GAINESVILLE, Beloit, Riohland county,
Dodgeville, Milwaukee, Lodi and
other points, most of which were in
uniform and accompanied by bands.
In addition to the torches, fireworks
were constantly displayed by the
marching column, making it sight
worth miles Of travel to see
After the procession, three meet
ings were held, one in the assembly
chamber, addressed by Hon. Chas.
l. Colby, one in the Senate chamber,
addressed by d. II. Feathers, and
one at the east steps of the capitol,
addressed by lion. Henry Fink, and
others. Fully 1000 people were in
attendance upon these meetings.

and the enthusiasm unrivalled since
