ABOUT DISCOURAGED.
The Republican City Committt
WBS DemOraIized Yesterdav

The Republican City Committee
Yves DemOralized Yesterday.
The Republican city committee, after
carefully looking over the ground, prac-
tlcally gave up the fight yester-
day. To a GLOBE reporter they
gave it out that they expected
nine out of the seventeen aldermen.
In discussing the situation amongst
themselves. they said they would con-
slider it lucky if they elected five, and
some even drew the figure down to
TOUR. The secret of the matter is that
big guns they fired off early in the day
failed to reach the mark.
They had hoped to elect John Roche,
but felt rather weary when they found
the workingmen solidly against him and
in favor of DAILY.
So far as Mr.. Thauwald was con-
cerned, they recognized the fact that
George Reis' record personal popularity
and strong German support would carry
him through easily.
Coleman FlahertY, in the Second, ,hav-
ing the united support of the working
men, was recognized as solid.
Fat COnley was conceded as solid in
the Third, likewise Pat Kavanagh in
the Fourth, Some conceded that Will
lam BanhOlZer was a winner in the
Fifth, and some had hopes for Mr.. Book.
recognizing the fight that Bryant and
Berland1 were making against each
other in the Sixth, they conceded plain
sailing for Melady.
The Seventh having no Democratic
candidates., of course. sure to elect Aid.
Sanborn. They figured that Henry
Weber would come through in the
Eighth, though they recognized
that Joseph Matz was making
big fight, and would poll
a heavy vote. Some were rash
enough to claim that Schneider
would defeat John Gehan in the
Ninth, but those who had looked the
ground over recognized the kick
amongst the Scandlnavians there and
conceded Gehan's election. In the
Tenth,- Republican ward, they
had hopes of electing Pratt,
though knowing that there were
SO many independent candidates in
the field, conceded that Adams had a
good fighting chance.
In the Eleventh they said they were
sure to elect ID. w. Sullivan.
Their forces were demOraliZed, and
the most they could do was to hire few
carriages and cry fraud.

The Sisseton Reservation.

WASHINGTON, April S0.-Delegate
Clifford presented the petition of NJ. F.
Cummings and 102 others, of Wilmot,
asking that the treaty be headed with
SisSetOn and Wahpeton Indians for a
reduction of their reservations. The
petitioners claim that the Sisseton In
dianS have all taken their allotment ac-
cording to the severalty law and are civ
iliZed and familiar with the customs of
white people. There is large amount
of valuable surplus land on this reser-
vation which, if opened for settlement,
would be very soon located upon by
white people.

MADISON, Wis, April 3O.-The Demo
cratic state convention to elect dele
gates to the national convention at St.
Louis meets here at noon tomorrow.
about one-third of the delegates are in
the city tonight, and considerable ri
Valry between candidates for the ST..
Louis convention is being carried on in
the hotel rOtundaS. Among the dele
gates who have as yet arrived in the
city the predominance of young
men is decidedly noticeable. The
old stand-bys, who always attend
the state conventions are here as a
matter of course, but the great bulk is
made of men who never attended coll
ventiOn before, or at least few compared
to the convention of young Repub-
licanS," the really young men of that
concern are Outnumbered ten to one,
fact which the Republican managers
will undoubtedly relist. The state cen
trail committee held meeting at the
Park hotel tonight. The committee
decided upon II. B. Dodge, of Racine,
Kingston, Jr., of Ashland, for tempo
rary secretary of the convention.
brief set of resolutions in
dorsing Cleveland and his attitude ON
the tariff were adopted and will be sub
mitted to the convention. John l..
Mitchell, of Milwaukee, was elected a
member of the national committee, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Secretary Villas. A resolution
was adopted to be submitted to the con-
ventiOn, by which the present state
committee virtually resigns and asks
the convention to elect new commit
most prominent candidates for delegates
at large mentioned tonight are James
G. Jenkins, of Milwaukee; George w.
Bird, of Madison; S. II. Seaman, of She
boygan; G. w. Pratt. of Oshkosh. Gil
bert M. Woodward, of La Crosse, was
considered to be sure of going as one of
the delegates until tonight, when
he telegraphed Chairman Usher
his withdrawal in favor of Sena-
tor d. A. Macdonald. There is
strong sentiment still existing, how
ever, for Woodward, and he may be
elected in spite of his withdrawal
With regard to district delegates mat
terS are very much mixed. About
every district has five or six candidates
waiting to have tO-morrow's May
baskets hung on their doors, and it is
impossible to predict OH whom the on
Ors will fall until the rest of the dele
gates get in. The convention will be
enthusiastic for Cleveland, and will
probably be the largest-attended Demo-
cratic convention ever held in Wlscon-
sin. The large number of young men
present is significant in the face of the
desperate efforts of the Wisconsin Re-
publicans to corral the ''kids" and their
fold.
