WHY I TAKE
-THE-
W eekly Wisconsin"

BECAUSE l want paper that l can
depend on to think before it speaks,
and to speak out what it thinks.
BECAUSE THE WISCONSIN gives an
honest and intelligent opinion on
every great question, free from any
personal or financial influence.
BECAUSE 1t is one of the few papers
can bring into my house without
poisoning my children's minds with
pernicious trash.
BECAUSE its columns are full of Just
what | want to read both for bust
ness and for pleasure.
BECAUSE l find that THE WISCONSIN
gives me early and reliable accounts
of what is happening all over the
world.
BECAUSE I frequently see in this
paper really accurate and well-eXe-
cuted portraits of the celebrated
men | am reading about.
BECAUSE 1 find that, no matter what
subject may want to learn about,
all [ have to do IS to write to THE
WISCONSIN, and the greatest pains
and research are employed to tell
me, through "Our Family" what I
wish to know.
BECAUSE this journal, though it
would still be the most valuable pa
per In America were it three times
the price, is ridiculously cheap, and
comes to me regularly every week
for One Dollar.
BECAUSE my wife and children all
find something that they can appre-
ciate in THE WISCONSIN.

Harrison l20; Allison 50; Phelps Is; Rusk %; In

This leaves s. votes to account for. Missouri
and Arkansas are still doubtful quantities.
lis believed that there will he material change
from this estimate for ballot or two and it Is
night. During the night some combinations may
be made with a view to controlling the nomination
next day.
THE BLAINE DEMONSTRATION.
Monday night every street in Chicago was filed
with long professions of bands and organizations
Of every sort and citizens foot and in carriages
bearing banners of all descriptions. and upon all
of them plainly egible somewhere was the portrait
name of James G. Blaine. There was an Irish
American club from Chicago, a fambcau club
from Kansas a large number wearing the white
plume and the Blaine badge from Nebraska. a
whole delegation from California, and parts Of
delegations from many other States, marching for
hours together, keeping step to the loyal music OF
the Union and shouting as only earnest men do
shout for James G. Blaine of Maine. This dem.
onstration was without organization. 1t unques-
tionably was spontaneous. 1t represents the en-
thusiasm Of large masses Of the people, who cling
to Blaine with greater tenacity even than the fol
lowers of Henry Clay did to their fallen idol.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Journal. Is it posi-
BILE that "Another Republican" in referring to tile
place seekers and Old frosthiten candidate, refers
to our ticket of Sc Is II possible that he implies
that ticket was not 'clean, able and strong" rs in
contrast with his, There is 40 man in this county
ricnHer after and stronger, uorless Il place seeker
or frost bitten candidate than Dr. \. J. Billings, of
Freedom who headed that ticket Party usage,
to say nothing of common courtesy, entities him to-
a denomination. 1t seems strange that "Auuthcr
Republican" writing temperance man, should
have omitted his name. In Sc his name more than
any other stood FOR temperance. He carried his
fun party vote and lacked but twenty VOTES of
election. II he will accept re nomination the Re
puhcans Of this county can hardly he :" political.

The name of J. X. Iurd Is one on which We can
all unite. He is every inch man, and no man het
ter qualified or more satisfactory to temperance
voters can I've found in this county. His record rs
an officer in his town shows his abundant iirt
ness for this high trust and we can do no bette
than to move rs one man for his nomination.

The Creamery Matter.

Messrs. shepherd, Edgccomb, Ellis, Murphy,
Lewis Pitcher and Horace Pitcher Of Belfast, and
Levensaler, of Waldo, the creamery committee
held meeting at the Court House. Belfast, last
Saturday afternoon. Rather discOurag cling reports
were made, but several of the committee were not
ready to abandon the enterprise. 1t was reported
that some farmers who had heretofore favored a
creamery had changed their minds, the expenses
of fitting up and the buying Of additional stock APP
pearing to be the obstacles in the way. Others
reported that farmers In their vicinity were In
favor Of creamery and would fit up for it. 1t
was thought there would be no trouble in getting
stock for the building II farmers would pledge
themselves to tit up and put in their cows Some
favored forming small creamery among them
selves, If the present scheme failed believing that
others would subsequently fall In. The meeting
adjourned subject to call.
The Monroe creamery was reported to be -four
ishing and enlarging its business. 1t was also
stated that Mr.. Fred Miller, of Massachusetts, who
owns farm in Swanyille, has said he would erect
and maintain creamery in that town and guar
antee twenty cents per pound, net for butter, and
all he asks the farmers to do is to pledge him 4
certain number OF cows.
The question Of creameries is being agitated and
they will come sooner or later.
