ST.. LOUIS. Sept 2s--In the Switchmen's
Aid association meeting Tuesday morning
the plan Of federation as proposed by the
Firemen's brotherhood was adopted, and
Messrs. Bailey, Sweeney and Downey were
appointed committee to confer with the
locomotive engineers, firemen, brakemen,
railway telegraphers and the Knights Of La
Dor to complete the work Of federation. The
details of the plan are carefully concealed,
but from the fact that a conference is to be
held with tho photographers and the Knights
of Labor, it is the opinion that the plan en-
braces both these bodies, as well as the four
original railroad mems organizations. or

Cranberry Center.

The heavy frosts of the past two weeks
have ripened the cranberries on the five
or six improved and protected marshes
in this vicinity very fast and in about
ten days there viii be about 4, 600 barrels
ready for shipment. The system of
flooding in vogue at this place meets
the approval of all cranberry growers
who have investigated it. Water is
taken from adjoining streams and
stored in reservoirs where it becomes
warm, which warmth is diffused through
the bog when the flooding occurs, thus
protecting the berries without the
necessity of covering them with water
and injuring their keeping qualities.

THAD. AND GROVER.

Ex-Gov. Thaddeus Pound pass
ed through Milwaukee on his way
home to Chippewa Falls from
Washington, few days ago, says
a Milwaukee dispatch. Four
years ago he was the leader of the
mugwump movement in the North
west. This year he will vote for
Harrison and Morton. He still
has high opinion of Mr.. Cleve-
laud, but differs from him on the
question of the tariff. In conversa-
ton with a correspondent ex-Gov.
Pound said he had noticed in the
last few weeks a much more conf
dent tone among Republicans.
"What is more significant to my
mind said he, is the position
taken by businessmen of my
acquaintance IN New York and
other places in the East. Nearly
every one who voted for Cleveland
four years ago will this year vote
for Harrison. They have the
friendliest feeling for the President,
and had it not been for the tariff
message would have been support
ing him to-day. But they cannot
stand his views on the tariff.
President Cleveland made a bad
mistake when he wrote that
message and he has been making
matters worse instead of better
ever since. | have made several
visits to New York and | know
what | am saying. 1t is useless
to talk of free-trade for this
country. The people do not
want it. The President in his
message runs counter to the tide
witch carried him into the White
House. He will find this out
when the election IS over"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. l. John
Alexander, better known as the

has been taking a swing around
the circle with a view of feeling
the public pulse on the question Of
the presidency. He has just
returned from Indiana. where he
remained several days, and has
authorized the publication of the
following propositions: One thou
sand dollars that Harrison will
carry Indiana; 1000 that Harri-
son will carry New York; ST. 900
that Harrison will be elected
president re- Any person. with the
money can take one or all of the
above propositions. The "Blcck
Prince" says that from personal
knowledge of affairs in Indina he
will bet on Harrison carrying it.
His information from New York,
he says, came from the best posi-
BILE authority.

ANTI BRIDGE TICKET.

We take it for granted that before
another issue of the REPORTER we will
be told of the good qualities of the men
who make up the antl-bridge county
ticket. The last issue OF the Marshfield
Times contained synopsis of the mass
meeting held in that city the past week
and closed its comments by saying:
"That the lists are now being circulat-
ed through the North and West part of
the county. In this city as we are
informed in the towns the resolutions
are receiving the endorsement Of near
ly every one offered. and there is
every probability that the convention
will be called
The Pittsville Independent continued
comments as follows:
mo one now days can be found, in
all the western and northwestern part
of the county, SO ignorant as to pretend
that the bridge should be maintained
by the whole county, on the score of
justice. That theory was exploded long
ago, and the eastern portion now simply
advance the one argument that ''you
must because a special charter SAYS SO.
Are we to meekly submit to their
dictation ALWAYS; be the humble slaves
of their greedy desires; enrich their
cities by impoverishing our homes;
and deprive ourselves of the comforts of
life to increase their power of oppres-
sion over US? 1t is now about time to
call a halt; to shake the letters from our
limbs and once again breath the pure
air of freedom-the keenest delight of
of an American citizen. The fitting and
only place to settle a sectional difficulty
of this kind, in this county, is at the
$1,000 slaves in Western Wood county
on the 9th day of next November. No
more tribut from rs
