ear that the independent action
aiken by the two wings of The party

Of the party. 1t is well known that the
Democrats have q good majority IN thus

best possible organization of the Repubh-
cans and the most active campaign WORK
The only nope of the Republicans Is ID
Democratic dissensions and in thorough
organization among themselves and IN
harmonious, vigorous rousipg campaign
But as neither of these conditions exist,
the Democrats can afford to work cheer
fully and confidently for g successful cam
uaign. The Democrats through ray
Tor, Marion, Harrison and indeed
in all places where nave
visited, are in excellent fighting

success Of their party and the election OF
the best pen possible to office. The as
sepsions that the Republicans were ouild'

With the bombs bursting in Republican

10 the tender mercies of the Democrats

United States Senstorship. This dessrtior
of his party in the hour of need, when the
only hope for the Republicans of the First
District was conferred in General COTS re
nomination, will not bring the two factions
any closer together. The opposition nov
existing against General Cot in his Owl

FoRr Howard, Wis, August l9.-Re'
ports from the great ares in this region
have not been at all exaggerated, and it
requires but a glance to show that but lit
tie Of the real misery and destruction they
have caused has yet been brought to
light. Fort Howard and Green Bay are
enveloped in a dense volume Of smoke,
and all AROUND the o1tskirts Of the town
can be seen the flames as the burst from
the woods. SINCE the train bearing the
correspondent left Milwaukee, the effects
OF the late drouth have been more and
more apparent. The railroad seems as
though II had been built hyanunscrupul-
GUS Board Of County Commissioners and
contracts let to as many culYerl-builders
as possible. The road north OF Appleton
seems 10 consist ot culverls built without
any cause, for there 10 not sign Of one OF
the creeks which they are designed 10
cross. Everything Ia as dry as tiuder, and
the fenoeu and grasS along the tracks are
either burned or are now burning.
North OF Little Greek is, or rather was,
q large cranberry swamp, for II Ia now per-
iectly dry, and the bushes are all on fire
and burning hercely. Here, too, the
smoke became more and more dense, and
hung In the atmosphere Bullenly ,as though
waiting an opportunity to settle down and
envelop the country In Egyptian darkness.
Over the water In Green Bay II descended
like dense fog In all but its color. The
smoke Ia light brown and tho wind al.
ternately clears II away and allowa It 10
gather again. The sun shines through II
like q huge orange, and casts o BiOkly
shadow. The scarcity Of water makes
every one apprehensive Of Gre, and the
proximity Of the forest fires are o constant
source Of dread.
One OF the most peculiar effects OF the
fire Is the action Of the animals, which
seemed 10 be apprehenBive oil some great
danger. The cattle and horses hnddle
together, forgetting TO feed, and stamp
the ground relatively. Even the birds
seem frightened and lily around In an aim.

bring 10 light q great deal Of suffering.
