plotters would be subdued, and they
would remain quiet. But it has re-
suited otherwise. Contrary to expec-
tation, these misguided Wretches are
unchanged in their wicked purposes,
only perhaps little less outspoken.
The spirit of anarchy has taken deep
root, and has obtained stronger foot
hold in the country than had been
dreamed of by a majority of our citiz-
ems. The secret influences that have
been at work by the enemies of our
civil institutions have poisoned more
minds than had been supposed. The
meeting called al Turner Hall in Chi
cago last week to express sympathy
with condemned anarchists was at
tended by over thousand persons.
Resolutions were passed declaring the
conviction of the anarchists the result
of prejudice and the unjust rulings of
the courts. The primary object of the
meeting, as expressed in one of the re-
solutions, was to raise funds to secure
a new trial, and, if that fails, to leave
no effort unspared to carry the case to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
If these efforts be of no avail, then, as
last resort, violence may be attempt

A meeting of anarchist sympathisers,

Many of the speeches were of the

The Congressional canvas for nomiD.
alton of members of Congress in this
first district has disclosed with toler-
able accuracy how chances range be-
tween the candidates in the field-Cas-
well, Weeks and Cooper. The conven-
ton on full representation will have
80 delegates; necessary to a choice, 20.
OF these Jefferson has 6; Rock, 13; all
understood to be for Caswell, and lack
ing but one TO nominate. Walworth,
Q, pledged to Weeks, wanting IL more
to nominate. Racine s, and Kenosha
3, all claimed for Cooper, and lacking
9 to nominate. The two eastern coun-
ties base their claims for the candidate
principally on location, contending
that there has been no representative
in Congress from the lake shore since
G. Durkee was elected in 1856, and j.
r. Doolittle, elected in 1857 and 1868.
1t seems to be conceded that there is
some force in the plea of location, but
the western counties insist that expe-
rience in Congress outweighs the con-
sideration of location; and that while
the west has for long period had the
member of Congress, that part of the
district has never received q dollar
from the national treasury; that what

Considerable space is given in the
TELEGRAPH this week to tho old set
tiers reunion, held on Wednesday of
last week. These occasions occur but
once year, and it is hoped that from
the success OF the last a new impulse
will be given to future anniversaries
of this kind. The question is now APP
parently settled that there will be no
migratiOns of the society hereafter, but
that it will be content to meet yearly by
the side Of the beautiful lake, which
might possess more poetic or roman
tic name, although bearing the name
of respectable citizen.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE CONVEN
TION.

The fifth annual Convention of the
Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton will be held at the church of the
Good Shepherd, in Racine, September
%, 20, 50, 1886. The Convention will
be attended and addressed by distin-
guished woman suffragists of this and
other States. An exchange paper fur
nishes an important item of history in
relation to woman suffrage in Wiscon-
sin. Thirty years ago Hon. G. L.
ShOles, member of the legislature from
Kenosha county, made a report from a
committee in favor Of conceding the
right of suffrage to the women of the
State. This, it is believed, was the
first official movement in the legisla-
ture of Wisconsin, favOring the exer-
else of this right by women. Mr..
ShOles is well remembered by all the
earlier inhabitants of the county; he
was for many years an editor of the
Kenosha TELEGRAPH, and an infuen~
tia citizen. He now resides in Mil
waukee, with impaired health. He has
seen the right which he sought to en-
courage thirty years ago slowly gain
ing in favor, but its contamination
may yet be quite distant.
A PUBLIC DEBATE SUGGESTED.
Mr.. E. G. Durant, the Prohibitionist
for member of Congress in
this district, evidently believes his par
ty was not fairly represented il the
TELEGRAPH last week. We desire to
offer our friend Durant every oppor-
tunity to have his position rightly I'M
derstood by the people; the suggestion
for a public discussion in respect to the
present attitude of the Prohibitionists
as a political party, is not unfair.
A candid and dispassionate comparison
of views on any moral or political ques-
ton of difference is proper for a better
understanding of matters in contro-
versy. Whether there are any persons
in this vicinity who will be disposed to
accept the offer for the proposed dis
cussion remains to be developed.
RACINE, WIS.,. Sept. 4, 1886.
EDITOR KENOSHA TELEGRAPH.
My DEAR SIR:-I noticed in your
editorial columns of the Sd an article
with the heading, Is it Ignorance or
Dishonesty?" In which you quote the
portion of the utterance of the First
District Prohibition Convention held
at Elkhorn, which charges "both the
old par lies with being under the con-
troll of the liquor traffic and its obedi- |
emit servants"
Now, / am in hearty accord with the
utterance, and believe it to be an al
together honest way of stating the |
question.
further believe that the honest, in
telligent Republicans of Kenosha, of |
which there are many, are willing to |
look this question squarely in the face,
and act in accordance with their con-
victions. Believing this, I propose a |
oint public debate in some hall in Ke- |
losha in which this question be dis
,ussed. ] suggest that this debate be
held some time this month. If this |
is accepted, as of course it |
will be, the Prohibitionists will pay
he expenses of the hall.
Awaiting an answer to the PROPOSE
ion, after which details can be. ar.
anged, lam yours truly,
E. G. DURANT.
