Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1888-10-04

ney John NJ. Olin, in his plea on
behalf of plaintiff, occupied over
two hours, and tits said 10 be one of
the ablest discourses of the kind
ever heard in the county.
THK announcement circulated that
an admission fee would be charged
for attending the joint discussion
between T. G. Richmond, of Madi-
son, and VIM. +. Carter, of Platte
vile, at the latter place tomorrow,
friday is incorrect. No admission
fee will be charged. In bill cir
culated Mr.. John NJ. Olin certifes
that he is authorized to this effect.
The Madison journal of the first
day of the fair at that place has the
following information of more or
less interest to horsemen in this
section: "The races tomorrow will
be first class. Between the heats the
finest roadster stations in the north
west will be exhibited, including w.
j. Dyers horse, Mambrino Swigert,
the sire of the black team owned by
Mr.. M. K. Fuller and the team of
Hon. K. w. Keyes, as well as Mr.. A.
o. Fox's horses, Archie Armstrong,
aud others.
OVER $50 workingmen of James
vile have signed a call for a meet
ing tonight for the purpose of
forming wage-workers' league.
They say in their call: "Believing
that our interests would be best pro-
noted by continuance of the Just
and wise policy of protection, which
protects and fosters American in
dustries and encourages home pro-
duction, thereby insuring to us
American wages and protecting us
from the pauper labor of foreign
countries, and further believing that
the election Of Harrison and Morton,
the uncompromising advocates of
the principle of protection to Amer
lean labor, will best insure the
desired result, we do hereby express
our desire to enter into an organiza-
ton to be known as the Wage
Workers league, which shall have
for It's object the success and ad-
vancement of the party most deyot.
ed to our interests" This is under
stood to be voluntary movement
on the part of the signers of the
call, and the list of names embraces
but a small part of the number who
will join the league and give it
their active and cordial support.
As ANNOUNCED, Hon. o. II. Feth-
ers, of Janesville, appeared in this
city last Thursday evening in behalf
of America and the Republican
principles. He confined himself
mainly to the financial and protect
i've system of our country. He
illustrated beyond successful refuta-
tion that protection had resulted for
the good of the country in the past,
and that it is bound to in the future,
and that the Republican party was
the only party that had proved itself
competent TO cope with the financial
affairs Of the country. Ii was con-
tended that Democracy and free
trade were hindrances to a progress
i've nation like ours. Historic events
prove it. His references to the
solid south were simply for the con
yenience Of testing the truth of as
sertions, for it is known that the
Democratic party in the past has
been, the present is, and in the
future will be controlled by the
southern wing Of the party, whict
element was always for free-tradt
and always unsuccessful in the man
agement Of the government.
Mr.. Fethers talks in a clear, elo
quent style, holding the attention o.
hearers closely; none weary. Ther,
was a large audience and all werc
well pleased.
