Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-04-13

The republican newspapers of Wis
consin, with scarcely and exception,
treat with deserved contempt the
charges made by that old disreputable
scamp, William Welsh, upon the char
acter of Secretary Villas. The Eve
ming Wisconsin, which is staunchly re-
publican, under date of March %.
said:
The Welch-N'ilaS case on trial at
Minneapolis is sensational, but thus
far it has developed no creditable tes-
timony which tends in the least to
shake the confidence of Wisconsin
people in the integrity of Secretary
VIM. +. Villas. The charges now re-
peated by Welch, Col. Villas states,
were originally made by him long ago.
and were also publicly retracted by
him in 1891.
Except their shall be new and
wholly unexpected revelations, the old
time friends and neighbors of Secre-
tary Villas those who know him best
will maintain an mistaken faith in
his honorable manhood. And this
confidence which his home friends of
all political faiths now gladly extend
to him rs an act of simple justice, all
the nation owes to him also, until
some lack of integrity on his part is
proved.
The Wisconsin has no political SYM
pathy with Secretary Villas; it believes
his politics the worst thing about him.
But in common with all citizens of his
home state it has pride in his pubic
career and in the merited success he
has won. 1t does not believe any po-
litical advantage is worth having that
can be attained only at the cost of
smirching unjuStly the personal char
acter of political opponent.
Yet, the effort against him now
being made seems designed chiefly to
injure Col. Villas in his political repu-
tation throughout the country by an
nnwarranted attack upon his good
name. The Wisconsin hopes the hate
full effort will come to naught.

Newspapers in 1SSS.

From the edition of George 2. Row
ell \ Cos " American Newspaper Di-
reetory, published April tits TWEEN
tieth year., it appears that the news
papers and periodicals of all kinds
issued in the United States and Canada
now number 1880, showing gain of
$50 during the last twelve months and
of 7,l36 in ten years.
The publishers of the Directory as
sert that the impression that when the
proprietor of newspaper undertakes
TO state what has been his exact cir
eulation he does not generally tell the
truth is an erroneous one, and they
conspicuously offer a reward of 500
for every instance in their book, for
this year, where it car be shown that
the detailed report received from a
publisher was untrue.

DEPEW AND HARRISON,

For some time past the belief has
been steadily growing, until in some
quarters it has settled into a convic-
ton, that in the coming campaign the
republican party will adopt the tactics
of the democrats, and select their can
didates for president and vice presi-
/ dent from New York and Indiana,
respectively, or at least with direct
reference to their seeming strength in
those states. Indeed there is good ev-
idence to show that many of the re-
publican party leaders have settled on
Chauncy NJ. Depew, of New York, and
Benjamin II. Harrison, of Indiana, as
the men to be nominated at the national
convention which will meet in Chicago
on the 18th Of June. From a leading
editorial recently published in that
great republican newspaper, the st.
Paul Pioneer Press plainly shows that
IIlI' id'di WHICH oIlSS llldIeu III lut
Empire State has extended to the great
northwest. The following is an ex-
tract from the article referred to:
a prominent citizen of st. Paul
writing from southern winter resort,
where he has had occasion to meet
and talk with many representative
hlIpanc hn
political situation, has reached some
interesting conclusions which are Wor-
thy of consideration. TO begin with,
he finds it the general opinion that
Mr.. Cleveland will be his own sue
cesSor unless the Wisest counselS pre-
vail in the republican party. 1t is
thought that in the approaching cam
paign New York and Indiana will be
the pivotal states, as they were in the
last one, and that much weight ought
to be given to the state of things in
those states In making the ticket"
Now it is the general belief of New
York republicans that Chauncy Depew
is the only man who can carry New
\ DIRK against Cleveland, and that he
can carry it against Cleveland seems
to be the general conviction of leading
New York republicans.
If Depew would carry New York
it may be safely assumed that Har-
rison, if assigned to the second place
on the ticket, would carry Indiana,
and thus both those doubtful and ply
otal states would probably be secured
by this combination"

CHAPTER XVII.
AGNES In A BOARDING Hous

Agnes did not feel the utter loneliness OF
her situation until, as she walked along,
square after square, she encountered SO many
hundreds of distracted or curious or impu-
dent faces. and reflected that it was upon
such people that her future support and COM
fort would depend She tried to discover in
some conntenance the impress Of kindly
benevolence;-not that she proposed to risk
so much as question; but it was her first
experience with the busy world, and she
wished TO observe its ways, when neither re-
lstionship nor personal interest was in
volved. Small encouragement she would
have felt to approach any that she met.
Men OF middle-age walked by as in dreams,
cold, unobservsnt, lstless; the younger ones,
fuller of life. strobe on with high heads, and
finging glances that were harder to bear
than stony indifference, even Ladies
clothed in costly furs scanned the pretty face
under the mourning bonnet with prying eyes,
or tossed her hasty, scoruf1l look Shop
girls giggled and stared. Boys rushed by,
rudely jostling every passenger. A sorry
world Agnes thought it. In the country she
had been used 10 receive kindly bow or q
civil aGood-rnorning!" from every person she
met; and the isolation of the individual in
the city was to her something unnatural,
even appalling.
She had cut out some boarding house adj
vsrtisemezts from the daily papers, and her
first care 70 find home suited to her
slender meaus. She had long hunt and
unpleasant one. but at last fortune favored
her. The hndlady, kind-hearted woman,
was in mourning for her only daughter. and

ceased to play, and their infantry,
$1,000 strong, were seen emerging
from the woods and advancing up the
hill. Hancock knew the artillery fire
was intended 60 demoraliZe his men.
and cover the advance of their infantry,
which was to make the real attack.
Turning his horse he rode slowly up
his line from left to right, holding his
hat in his hand, bowling and smiling
to the troops as they lay fiat on the
ground.
Hardly had he reached the right of
the line when the men who, inspired
by the courage of their general, could
now hardly restrain themselves, re-
ceived orders to attack the advancing
rebels. Eighty guns which Hancock
had concentrated. opened their brazen
mouths, and streams of blue bullets
flew from the muzzles of our rifles to
the breasts of the confederates.
1t was an awful day. and Long
streets Old Guard of the South
melted away like wax under the terrible
fire. OF the $4,000 who came to the
attack, 5000 fell or were captured on
the hillside. Thirty stands of colors
and an immense number of small arms
were taken. Hancock was everywhere,
riding the storm of battle as if he
bore charmed life. At last, just in
the moment of victory, he was seen to
reel in his saddle, and would have
fallen to the ground had he not been
helped from his horse. A ball had
pierced his thigh, and for time it
was thought the wound was mortal.
Tell General Meade" said Han
cock, addressing his aide, Colonel
Mitchell, THAT the troops under my
command have repulsed the enemy
and gained great victory. The en-
envy are now flying in all directions in
my front"
