MILWAUKEE, Oct. 27.-Gentlemen who
are in receipt of reports from all parts of
Wisconsin are firmly of the opinion that if
the Democrats do not become too confident
and let things go by default in their strong
holds, they will elect their state ticket this
year. One thing that will help this thing
along is the absurdity of running Repub-
lican campaign on the assumption that the
party has patent right on all the law and
order in this peaceful and prosperous COM
monwealth. The people are disguised that
party should seek power on such pre-
text. In the agricultural sections the
farmers are awakening to the importance
of the tariff and kindred issues, and are
beginning to take ground opposed to that
of Mr.. Blaine and the corporate mOnopolles.
Heretofore many of them were kept in
the ranks by the dreadful pictures Repub-
lcan speakers and papers drew OF what
might be expected if Democrats got into
power, but nearly two years OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration has convinced them Of
the fallacy of the prophecies, and they now
look on the whole thing as
A BUGABoO
to scare them, and they are consequently
suspicious of anything their former idols
offer. When not absolutely rebelllOus. they
are Indifferent to the calls of the grand old
party, and from this apathy large falling
off of the vote is expected. But the ele-
ment that the Republicans most fear is the
Prohibition vote, which is growing every
dav, owing to the persistent work of the
leaders, who are leaving no stone unturned
to get every member of their party TO the
hot hoe
counted on is the heavy vote that will be
cast in the Second district, always over
wheImingly Democratic. There the Re-
publicans imported Richard Guenther to
run against A K. Delaney. who was
nominated over Gen. Bragg. The
contest between these two latter gentlemen
left i'll feeling that may cut down Della
news majority somewhat; out it will re-
suit in getting out the full Democratic vote,
all of which will be for Woodward in prefer
ence to Rusk. even though it be divided on
Delaney. This has just occurred to Sena-
tor Sawyer and Gov. Rusk, and they are
VERY INDIGNANT
at Guenther for going there and stirring
things up. The same is true in Milwau-
kee. Here the Democrats nominated John
Black for congress. He was foreman of
the gIdllu jury IlldI IuuICtCu ColIdin uOli
who were active in trying to make trouble
last May, and is. therefore. as much enti-
tied to office as Gov. Rusk is. on any law
and order issue that may be raised. but the
Republicans ignored this and put up
Thomas II. Brown to run against him,
when Henry Smith was already in the field
as labor candidate. This has Disguised
many Democrats who night have voted for
Gov. Rusk because they believed in the
riot issue" and now they call the whole
thing dodge to get people to continue the
state under Republican control.
THE RIOT ISSUE"
As showing the utter Righteousness OF
what the Republicans have said of their
riot issue" it is worthy of note that Rob
ert Schlling, the labor agitator, whom the
Republican organs have been calling an
anarchist, has been all through the Ninth
congressional district, which has large
labor vote. making speeches in favor of
Isaac Stephenson, Republican nominee for
congress. If the Republicans were really
sincere in their claim that the election OF
Rusk is necessary to proclaim to anarchiSm
that it is not wanted in Wisconsin, would
one of the leaders of the party, who has
served two terms in congress, form an
alliance with a man of Schilling's ideas, in
order to increase his chances for reelection?
This fact not only shows how thin the riot
issue" originally was. but also indicates the
utter desperation of the Republican cause.
Woodward will be elected, as sure as the
I'd of November comes.
