COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

AS was indicated by the PRESS last
week, the "unterrified fire eaters" Of Hand
county met at the court house last Satur-
day and chose an unalloyed Church dele
cation to go to the Watertowh convention.
ID. ID. Rorick was made chairman and r.
@. Anderson, Of st. Lawrence, secretary
Aside from the democrats and republicans
present from Miller, there we're enly ten or
dozen democrats in from the entire
county. These were Andy Wharton,
Wash Wharton, Ed McManes, Bob and
George Mccarthy, Il. T. Bates, 1. p.
Wyland, W. @. Hildebfande, d. G.. Butts,
VIM Malloney and perhaps one or two
others. Those eminent and superb states
men, Hill, Anderson, Green, Rorick, Smith
and Specs Baldwin had driven the tails
off of their horses during the week in
obtaining Church proxies and every thing
was neatly cut and dried when the cenven-
tIon was called to order Bovine, the
champion of the Day element did not even
peep and the Church programme was
carried out in as excellent shape as though
he had been here experimenting things
himself. j, ]. Smith, specs" Baldwin
and l. p. Wyland made up the committee
on credentials, A, ID. Hill, l.. Raymond
and Bob Mccarthy were appointed CON-
mittee on resolutions, Alex Green, Tom
Ryan and Ed McMannus were appointed
a committee to select SIX names to present
for endorsement by the convention as del
egates to Watertown. These were j. J.
Smith, d. ID. Rorick, A Wharton, l, p.
Wyland, A, J. Baldwin and E. T. Bates.
The committee on resolutions then pre-
sented the following: Resolved. that we
as delegates representing the Democratic
party of Hand county, hereby unanimous
ly ihdorse the administi alton of president
Cleveland and also heartily indorse the
territorial administration This resolu-
ton was adopted with a war whoop.
j. ]. Smith then moved the delegation to
Watertown be governed there by the unit
rule. This brought w. G. Hildebrande
to his feet and he straightway proceeded
to give every thing dead away. He said,
in effect, that he never attended as dis
graceful proceeding as the present and
that the convention did not represent the
true democracy OF the county ; that it only
represented the work Of two or three ol
Chnrch's Notwithstanding Hill, Greer
and Smith. Green could not stand thit
and IN spite Of all that Cleveland has saii
that postmasters should not take any par
in political work, he arose and sat dowI
on Hildebando by asking him why h,
! did not kick on the unit rule at a certain
convention where he, Hildebrande, was
candidate for county treasurer, The gai
rule prevailed however, according to pro
gramme. John Pusey was then electe,
chairman of the county central committee
and the convention adjourned.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
FOR MAY.


Attention Is fixed on Germany. One
veteran ruler, the Emperor William, has
just passed away, and the grave is even
now ready to receive his successor. The
crown will rest on three heads in single
year. The story can be read in a finely
illustrated article in Franz Leslie's Pop
ular monthly for May. The number deals
with our land, and Mr.. W. Z. McCann
tells the story Of the "Star spaneIed Ban
ner" and its author f. S. Key. "A weeks
jaunt among the Lakes of Central New
York" is devoted to neglected part of
our land. DR.. Van Fleet gives a delightful
study of our Native Warblers "Adven-
lures in Central Asia" shows how Russia is
laying her plans for pushing her sway into
the borders Of China and India, or per-
haps beyond them,

seldom equalled in this section comes To
light in Price county, committed by a
father, who was summarily punished by
indignant citizens. For some time & =

,ritiing causes. Johnson lives in the
township of Worces' 'er. Price county,
and last Sunday secured the boy 10 post

death Instead of releasing him after
the flogging he lett him TO suffer from his
wounds until Monday night, when the
little fellow succeeded in making his
escape to the woods, where he remained
until Wednesday night without food or
shelter. He was discovered by Wis
consin Central section crew nearly eI-
hausted with hunger.
He reported his parents cruelty to the
men, and the latter, with other citizens,
visited Johnson last night, and with a
rope proceeded TO elevate him TO a tree
limb. He begged for his life, and, prom
ising never 10 whip the boy again, was
lowered, and after receiving fogging,
was mar ,hed 10 a railroad water tank
and given a bath. Johnson has been in
the habit, it is said, of confning his son

time. feeding him on a light diet, and ad-
ministering u whipping every day. The
boy Is now In the care oil the people OF
