EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
MADISON. WIS. 0Cyr- 9 1899
GROWTH OF THE STATE.

The increased vote Of Wisconsin
as compared with 1880, the census
year, is Sat- On the basis of
the census year proportion, this
would make an increase of popula-
ton from I,3I5,48o in 1880 to
L745,867 in 1888. The same
population continued will make
the population in 1890 about
I,855,OO or an increase Of more
than half a million in ten years.
Of the increased vote Of 87,477,
Milwaukee county shows 1914,
which would make the present
population of the county more
than 100000, or an increase in
eight years of 10000. The
counties showing the largest
proportionate gains are Ashland,
Barron, bayfield,, Buffalo, Chippe-
wa, Clark, Door, Douglas, Eau
Claire, La Crosse, Langlade,
Lincoln, Marathon, Portage, Price,
Shawno, Taylor and Wood
mostly northern counties.
Wisconsin is growing, particu-
larry in this and the northern
counties. The increase Of popula-
ton in those counties is one cause
of the increase here. Ashland
county has grown in population
nearly 800 per cent. in eight years.
Bayfield, county, which in 1880
had a population Of 564, has now
a population of 10000. Chippewa
county has gained 10000 in the
eight years and Eau Claire even
more; Marathon has gained about
the same; Shawno has added
about 1000 to her numbers and
Taylor about 5000, while Wood
has gained nearly $4,000. The
southern counties for the most
part have not changed greatly
since 1880; all have gained some,
Racine especially, with about 49,
600, and Rock has gained about
5000.
1t IS a great and growing state,
prosperous and busy, and its great
town is Milwaukee with its
10000 industrious and healthy
people

BUSY WITH CORRESPONDENCE

Wausau Central-A reporter for
this paper while in Merrill, last
Saturday, called upon Congress-
man-elect McCord at his private
office and found him busy with
correspondence-stacks of letters
being piled up all around him.
When asked whether they were of
a congratulatory nature, or
requests for appointments, he
replied, principally the latter.
Yes" continued he, q receive on
an average twenty-five letters a
day, and as my predecessor has
established the rule of answering
every letter that comes to him, I
shall endeavor to carry out that
practice. There are a halfdozen
or more applicants for each office
and it places me in an unenviable
position, | can assure you. Many
of the letters are from men who
have worked hard for the party,
and are entitled to some kind of
recognition for their valuable SER
vices, but as there are not offices
to go around they cannot all be
repaid in that manner. It is nv
wish that the people make the
selection, for instance, of whom
they would like for postmaster in

"The snubbing business has
been carried on in high places to a
considerable extent the past two
or three years. Cleveland and his
household snubbed a western
governor and his talented wife,
and it cost Cleveland tens of
thousands of votes and lowered
him in the estimation of more
than that number of people. A
daughter of Sackvllle West
recently snubbed Mrs. Cleveland.
That, too, was i'll very bad taste
and deserves condemnation"

HOW DOES THIS STRIKE YOU.

During the recent campaign
The Chippewa Independent, Gen.
Earley's newspaper and other
Democratic newspapers charged
that Mr.. McCord was requested
by Gov. Rusk to resign as timber
agent, for the reason that his
services were not satisfactory and
that he was not properly discharg-
ing his duties. The following
letter from the Governor, written
upon receipt of Mr.. McCord's
resignation in 1882, nails that lie:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
MADISON, WIS, Der. 2, 1882.
Hon. NJ Fl. McCord, Merrill, Wis.,
Dear Sir am in receipt of your
resignation as agent for the protection
of the public lands, and I accept the
same with exceeding regret.
l have this day commissioned Geo.
W. GhOCa as your successor in accord
ance with your recommendation.
wish you abundant success in your
business.
Yours very truly,
J. NJ RUSK.

Preparations for the Inauguration
of General Harrison are progress
ing rapidly. It is estimated by a
member Of the Washington COM
mittee that the expenses will reach
$4,000. That the proposed great
display is in accordance with the
wishes of General Harrison may
be doubted. Unquestionably he
would prefer no demonstration
whatever, but General Harrison
does not decide that point, conse-
quently there will be a great
demonstration, probably one of
the most notable ever witnessed on
the occasion of a presidents

''What consolation republicans
