COMING TO THE SURFACE
Every Time the Political Pan is Shak-
Ell Up New Candidates Appear.
Hans B. Warner Takes the Field-New
ASpirantS for Secretary of State.
Price is Wholly Self-SatiStied as to His
Ability TO Defeat Sawyer.
AS SEEN IN MILWAUKEE.

The Streets of Milwaukee Swarm With Can
didateS.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 1.-THE talk of the
day has been John Eldred's open candi-
dacy for state treasurer. The opinion
seems to be that his chances are not
good.
But he is confident, and when asked
what he thought about divided deleca-
tion replied Il shall have them all, and
go to Madison with Milwaukee's thirty
four delegates united in my support.
This thing about my running has been
talked up for eight months. l kept out
as long as l could; but now that my
friends nave forced me in, | am in all
over, and shall carry the county sure, get
ting every delegate
In regard to the att tude of Senator
Sawyer, Mr.. Eldred said he believed it
would be neutral. I'm fact" he said.
Mr. Sawyer told me as much some time
ago"
But candidates for secretary of state
are what causes the political sensation of
the day. Geo. NJ, Paschen is now in the
field openly, and his friends are hopeful.
But the greatest surprise is occasioned
by the official announcement that Senator
j. A. Lins, of Waukesha county, is
candidate for that office. He is a strong
man. 1t is also rumored that Hon. Chas.
L. Bross, of Dane, and Hon. Ed Coe of
Walworth, are about to announce their
candidacy
FOR THE SAME OFFICE.
News also reached here to-day that
Hans B. Warner, of Ellsworth, Pierce
county, is a candidate for the nomination
for lieutenant governor on the republican
ticket, and that he expects the backing of
the entire Norwegian strength in his par
ty ranks.
Simpson and Stanley are now consider
ed out of the field, and Paschen is thought
to be most likely to get the Milwaukee
delegation. A leading republican said to-
day: Hank Harshaw, of Oshkosh, will
knock the treasury persimmons, and this
will leave Paschen the solid Milwaukee
delegation"
The democrats are keeping very quiet,
but this may by no means be asusmed as
an indication that they are doing nothing.
meeting of the custodians of the local
inner sanctuary will be held Wednesday
to arrange plan of campaign. What
they do will be duly reported, their eff
forts to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Since the interviews with Bouck in which
he admitted he would run if nominated,
the democrats here are all in his favor.
The fact that Bouck went so far a. to
consent to an interview created a ripple
of surprise that has not yet entirely sub
sided. A gentleman who is we'll acquaint-
ed with Bouck End his peculiarities said
in conversation: Il never knew Bouck
before to even admit that he would &C
cept an Office if it was rendered him.
The year he was elected speaker of the
assembly there was crowd of US work
ing for his nomination. We felt reason
ably sure of carrying the caucus, and
nomination meant an election. All we
wanted from Bouck was a statement that

Train wreekers at Work in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE officials of the
Rock Island and Lake Shore roads are
trying to locate the perpetrators of three
distinct attempts to wreck two passenger
trains and one freight train last night.
Chamberlain thought the miscreants were
recently discharged switchmen. One of
the attempts was to wreck the Chicago
d Rock Island train which left the Van
Buren street depot at 1870 O'Clock last
night, bound for Omaha and Council
Bluffs, by putting an iron wedge in the
guide near the cylinder head, which blew
out the head and totally disabled the en-
gine. While this was being done the
theatre train, which left an hour later,
passed the Omaha train and an attemp
was made to wreck it by turning the
signal lights in the rear, which was only
discovered By accident in time 70 prevent
the Omaha train from crashing into it
from behind. A few minutes later the
third attempt, which was successful, was
made on a freight train at 51st street.

BILL PRICE To THE FORE.
He is Digging in the Cellar to Let Sawyer
Down.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 1.-THE journal has
this tonight from Wausau: keen eye
sight at this point can discern streak of
blue air between Oshkosh and Black
River Falls. 1t is a token of warming
from Senator Philetus Sawyer to Con
gressman William L. Price, of the Shoe
string Eighth district. There is a big
charge of leakage due to the recipient of
a package of political information billed
through to Oshkosh. Mr.. Bill Price has
assumed the interesting role of Joey
BagstOck, and has been playing
it very fine on the Oshkosh
statesman. While Price has been osten-
sibly looking after his good fences at
home, he has been developing his plans
as candidate for
UNITED STATES SENATOR NEXT WINTER.
C. NJ. Webb, of Grand Rapids, circuit
Judge of the seventh district and ex-state
senator, was astonisned last week to re
him to make sur9 of the reelection
of Neillsville, Clark county, as
Price for the United States senate,
price, Is wholly self-satisfied as to his
ability to defeat Sawyer. The adaman-
tine cheek and unwarrantable presump-
tion of the Eighth district subsidy advo-
cate in attempting to induce judge on
the bench to mix up in ward politics in
his interest was responded to with scor-
ing which must have been aught but com
forting.
So shrewdly and Unexpectedly has
Price pulled his wires that many of Saw
yer's warm supporters in Wood and Clark
county have been working for Ring.
But a knowledge of the
PURPOSE OF PRICE
viii turn the efforts of the Sawyer crowd
against every candidate which he sup
ports. Trusty agents have gone
from Oshkosh to survey the field and
II may be safely asserted not only that
Mr.. Ring viii not be returned to the state
senate from the Eleventh district. but
that Mr.. Price viii find it necessary to
pay Closer attention to his own trusted
constituency to insure his return to con
gress-
There is no doubt whatever about the
facts Judge Webb. although a lifelong
friend of Prices, was so disgusted that
the letter from Price will be forthcoming
if need be to put stop to the party
treachery supposed to be embodied IN
underhanded opposition to Sawyer in a
fight by no means certain to result In re-
publican victory.

THE REUNION SEPTEMBER 2l-2S.

The two grand army posts OF this
county have for some time been max
ing arrangements to celebrate, Oh the
battle ground, the anniversary OF the
battle of Lexington. A large nnmoer
of &. A. II. posts have already slghln-
ed their intention to be present. E4-
Confederates are also expected 10 par
ticipate. Distinguished speakers from
both armies will be present.

one.
Arrangements will be made with all
the railroads to give reduced rates.
1t is hoped that every soldier who
participated in the battle will give the
reunion his moral aid, even if he can
not be present. Its success is already
assured, but it is desired to make of 1t
a memorable occasion.
The time is rapidly approaching.
Remember, Tuesday, Wednesday and

Mr.. Kenna Of the congressional COM
mittee, for at least one more distin-
guished speaker, Mr.. Carlisle, Senator
Voorhees, Or some other equally capa-
BILE gentleman. In this connection it

At the Cole county democratic con-
vention the other day, Gen. d. II Nc
lntyre was nominated for representa-
tive by reclamation. No better selec-
ton could have been made. Gen. Nc
lntyre is an able and experienced leg
~islator, beside being a man of the most
sterling and in%corruptible integrity. 1t
is thought the republicans will do him
the honor of making no nomination
against him.

The attempt to make it appear that
there is anything analogous between
the democratic nominations of this year
and two years ago is, of course, pueriIe
and no%nsensical. i A clear majority of
legally elected delegates of the district
have nominated Judge Philips for con-
gress. The nomination is universally
Endorsed by democrats, and even APP
plauded by republicans. The quarrel
of two years ago cannot be revived q.
There are no factions now in the demo-
cratic party of the district, and there
will be none.

A WORD THAT Is DUE TO JACOB D.
CONNER.

Capt. j. D. Conner, democratic can
didate for county recorder, is so genial
a gentleman, so versatile in his talents,
from singing in solo, duet or quartet
for any and every conceivable worthy
object, to conducting an important de-
partment at a fair, that it seems to be
thought necessary, in order to ALLEVIATE
from him the many republicans who
are his friends, to charge him with say
ing to a Globe Democrat reporter that
he sswas and still is q red hot rebel and
glad Of it."
Probably ten minutes after Capt.
Conner was interviewed the writer met
him, and the interviews became, nat
urally, the subject of conversation.
One of the questions propounded was,
"Were you in the confederate army"
or words to that effect. The captains
reply was, 'I was, q little over four
years." He did not say or intimate,
directly or indirectly, that he was glad
the war had to be fought, or that he
was still a rebel.
Capt. Conner is neither a fool nor q
demagogue. He would not for every
vote in Lafayette county say that he
was ashamed that he had been a con-
federate soldier; o would any brave
federal soldier ever expect him to say
80. The true southern man has as
much pride in the fact, that holding
certain convictions in 1861 he had the
manhood and patriotism to defend
them on the field of battle as has the
northern man that he did the same
thing. Each, b brave American men,
honors the other for the sentiment and
the fact, and none but skulkers and
post beAum fighters will seek to dim
the luster of q single star gained by the
valor of a soldier upon either side.
But the southern man who would now
glory in the necessity for an ~internecine
war; or who would, with our re-uni-
ted country marching on, in spite of
demagogical politicians, in brotherly
love to greater prosperity and glory
than it has ever up to this time achiev-
ed, declare that he was still a rebel;
that is, still desired his couutry's dis
memberment, could only be considered
imbecile. No one will charge any
thing of that kind upon Jacob D.
Conner.
On the contrary, if to-day u coun-
try were to become involved in trouble,
and in every county patriotic men were
called upon to defend its honor, the
very men in this county who are now
endeavoring TO put this stigma upon
him would look high up in the list of
those who had answered to the first
call for the name of Jacob D. Conner.
He is no shirker and no laggsrd, and
if his love for his country is to be meas-
ured by his love for his kind, as evil
denced by his unremitting and never
ceasing labors for others, in any ace
to do service for his country, which is
now the glorious union, there is but
little fear that his critics or opponents
would outstrip him, even if they kept
within sight.
