The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1886-09-02

IT is probable that in the history of
the country parallel can not be found
for the popularity acquired by Congress
man Markham in the district which he
now represents. He had announced re-
peatedly that he would not be candi-
date for reelection. But on the day set
for the congressional convention it was
determined to make a final effort to in
duce him to again represent the district.
Mr.. Markham was in Manitowoc and the
convention met in California. He re-
ceived telegram from the chairman of
the convention by unanimous direction
of the delegates, requesting him to re-
consider his determination; another tele-
gram from leading democrats promising
that if he would accept no nomination
would be made against him; a third from
leading business men urging him to &C
cept; several from prominent individuals,
all urging acceptance and pledging their
influence to make his election unanimous.
The tribute was as high one as was
ever offered to public officer. Mr..
Markham could not be swerved from his
purpose to retire to private life. He
laughingly explains that the reason he is
so popular is that he has lived only few
years in California and they don't know
him yet.

The earthquake of Tuesday night
ruined the city of Charleston, S. G. After
the buildings tumbled fire set in and
added to the horrors. Every house in
the city was deserted, and the negroes
thinking the day of judgement had come
invoked divine aid The streets were
blocked with debris, aud people were
busted in rescuing those buried in the
ruins. About three fourths of the build
ings in the city were either wholly wreck
ed or so badly shattered that they must
be rebuilt. The loss is estimated at
S., 100000. Trains could not reach or
leave the city because of the surface dis
turbance. The loss of life cannot be es
timated vet.

The Sentinel says the Bragg-Delane

THE Sentinel says the Bragg-Delaney
agreement implies that the democrats of
Fond du Lac county are "mere voting
cattle" But its favorite, Delaney, drew
the contract and he no doubt thought
democrats everywhere were similar to
those of Dodge. The democrats of Fond
du Lac are proving they are not "voting
cattle by their Reputation of the con-
tract. In fact the ire of The Sentinel
comes from the refusal of the Fond du
Lac democrats to be regarded as chattels.
The simulated indignation and pious
horror of The Sentinel are laughable in
view of the fact that it knows there has
hardly been contested republican con-
vention held in Wisconsin, state or
congressional, in which such bargains as
the one worked out by Delaney, have
not been factor in shaping the final re-
suit. A republican politician of note, who
has seen the inner workings of many a
republican convention in this state, lately
mentioned to the writer three such bar
gains in republican conventions, of which
he was cognizant. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED that there are such things. But
the hypocritical "we are holier than ye'
of The Sentinel can hardly be regarded
as an assault upon the reprehensible
practice. In fact it wants the bargain
to enure to Delaney's benefit and to mil
itate against Bragg. 1t occasionally
utters feeble protest against this uner-
ring conclusion, but that serves only to
intensity the hypocrisy which is only too
palpable. 1t denounces the bargain,
not because Of the nature of the traffic, it
is quite evident, but because Bragg is a
| party to it. And then it denounces
Bragg because he does not carry out its
terms. Truly this moral paper which
selects such candidates as Fred Horn
and Art Delaney for the democratic party
is as inconsistent in its reasoning as it
is unblushing in its impudence. 1t
knows that the political party it serves
is. in Wisconsin, nothing more than a
| chess board for Sawyer who moves the
mimic dignitar;es just as he pleases.-
But it offers no remonstrance and placid
ly bears the motto Sch dien."

DIR. POWELL. as well as Delaney, has
an organ. Powell's organ is known as
The Advocate, and is the phoenix which
rose from the ashes of the defunct Star.
The mission of The Advocate is to secure
Powell's nomination at the Neenah con-
vention. 1t is a most amusing sheet and
is ludicrous and silly enough to be a
humorous paper. Powell is the only
friend the laborers have in the state; all
others are counterfeit. The Advocate
rings changes on this fact in shockingly
bad grammar and with much commend
able persistency. The Advocate will die
with Powells boom.

THE democratic convention for the
Second congressional district, met at
Waukesha yesterday. The contest will
be prolonged one without much doubt,
but there seems to be nothing in the sit
uation to encourage the hope that Bragg
will be the nominee. Delaney is far
from certainty also. though his stool
pigeon, O'Meara, in Washington county,
may have fixed things so that his master
will succeed. Delaney is much to be
preferred to O'Meara. man who played
the part Of political procurer and de-
liberately deceived the people of his
county.
All the politicians in the state would
like to see Bragg defeated. He cannot
be used by them and takes no part in the
scheming which is the sum total Of poll
teal art. 1t is cause for regret that a
man of his brains should be forced into
private life by gang of political sharks.
Leave out the professional politicians
and Dodge county-pardon the tautol-
ogy-and Bragg would be the choice of
nine-tenths of the democrats of the state.

THE craze for jumping from bridges
of great height has taken quite hold
on the cranks. Another of the species
jumped from Brooklyn bridge at point
20 feet higher than that from which
Brodie earned fame. lie was arrested,
but the judge did not seem inclined to
glorify the act by commenting on the
danger incurred. In fact he strongly in
timated that the jumper did not Jump
at all, and if he did that it was the action
of fool. Another fellow now wants to
Jump into the river from balloon float
ing above the bridge.

RUSSIA is a nation of intrigue and has
an almost Unsuitable appetite for the
acquisition of territory. Had she the
strength she would not hesitate to crush
out every European power and hold NO.
disputed sway in the old world. She
has always kept an eye of greed or
Turkey and every few years absorbs a
portion of the territory of that unfortun-
ate country. The driving out of Prince
Alexander was Russian strategy. These
little priucipalities on the Danube have
much to fear from Russian intrigue.

The Sentinel might issue instructions
to its special Delaney reporters how to
write up the Fond du Lac caucuses. -
The Delaney gang proceeded to hold
second caucus in the ward in which Bragg
lives, where, by the way, his delegates
were chosen by vote of 142 to ID. The
"nnfairness" in the caucus consisted in
the motion to proceed to ballot for del
egates, not stating to what convention
the delegates were to be chosen. The
Sentinel has here splendid opportunity
to dilate upon the methods of Bragg's
supporters.

LARGE SALES IN DULL TIMES

LARGE SALES IN DULL TIMES.
Our reporter was surprised to learn
from member Of the Rand & Roemer
Hardware Co., that their spring trade
had been largely in excess of that of last
year-surprised because so much has
been heard in this vicinity about "dull
mes" largely accounted for by the low
prices paid for farm produce upon which
30 much of the trade of this city depends.
Further inquiry elected the fact that the
increased sales were not so much on &C,
count of increased consumption, but
that the extremely low prices at which
goods had been sold was the inducement
to purchase. To illustrate this a few
sample quotations are given, and any
one at all acquainted with the trade will
readily see that they are 'saway down."
Nails, per key, $2.15 rates.
Boiled Linseed Oil per gal. so
st. Louis Lead " 100 CTS
Steel Sho.els, each As
Field and Garden Hoes .25
Three tined Hay Forks .25
The above are prices for first class
goods-no Seconds" and our reporter
was assured that all other articles of their
immense stock were offered at proportion
ately low prices. Such figures are bound
to make sales, and the Rand & Roemer
Harware Co., is prepared to meet all
demands for goods at those prices. and
shrewd buyers will avail themselves of
the opportunity.

If The Sentinel's logic holds good,
then it is proper that the .. s. constitu-
ton be changed so as to allow Wiscon-
sin to become monarchy and have Rusk
for ruler. The Sentinel wants no change
in the executive Office because Rusk has
done his duty and another man in that
position might not. What an idoatrous
gang Rusk has succeeded in developing.
The men at Allis's works drove off the
mob by the use of cold water; but the
workman's blouse prevented the deed
from having merit. If it was a uniform
ed crowd armed with repeating rifles in
stead of hose, ye gods, how the act would
be glorified

hoped, do the man supposed to have
