The political situation in Wisconsin al
fords an instructive lesson TO demagog'c
politicians who trim their sails to catch
every passing breeze. The prevalent
opinion in the state is that Governor Rusk
will be reelected by largely increased
majority So pronounced is this feeling
that the democrats have had some diff
Guilty IN finding candidate TO run against
him. Alexander Mitchell, the president
of the great St. Paul railway system, has
openly avowcd his intention of support
ing Rusk aud advised his fellow dem
orrats to follow his example, Several
prominent democrats of the state have
taken his advice. This popular SCENTS
I,cut in favor of the governor is solely
owing TO the decisive manner in which
be puzzled the TIotous disturbances last
sp:iag in their incipiency. 1t is urged in
opposition that the governor only did his
duty aud Therefore Is entitled 10 no par
ticuiar credit. As an abstract prOpos
itiun this is nquestiouabiy correct. The
fac; -, however, that as u general thing,
@ov,ruors have not been in the habit of
doing their duty in matters OF this kind.
They have chosen TO curry favor with a
few lawless rioters rather tran execute the
statutes and preserve the peace. They
have appeared to think that by this
course they would gain the good will of
the agitators, while the remainder of the
community would divide upon party lines
IS usual Iu,othcr words there were too
many gubernatorial chairs occupied BY
wretchcd demagogues like our own Ogles>
by. Fidelity to duty, then. being, in this
respect so rare, it is no wonder that the
voters feel ike rewardinc SO CONSPICUOUS
an instance Of this virtue as Jerry Rusk
presents.
Moreover, while the governor has been
commencing himself to the law abiding
citizens of the State irrespective of party
be has incurred the deadly hostility of
the communistic viperS, and his defeat
would be hailed by them as long step
toward the accomplishments of their devil
ish designs.
Under these circumstances party lines
have been relaxed to considerable eX-
tent 50 far as the goycnorship is con-
ccrncd, and Rusk majority will be un-
Prcccdenily large, unless the people who
make business of feeling the political
pulse are wofu!ly off in their diagnosis OF
popular sentiment. The lesson taught
by this state OF affairs in our neIghbOr'
ing state is that il is not necessary to be a
dcmagoguc in order to succeed in politics,
and thai tic most effective way in which
an official can commend himself to the
favor Of the people is to lcarIcssly dis
charge his duty and let the consequences
lake care Of them elves
