his business career extends over a
period Of nearly fifteen years, and
most of that time he has carried
on extensive enterprises, employing
and mingling with large numbers
of men. It is to his credit that he
has the confidence and active
friendship Of the hundreds of men
in his employ It IS to his credit
that every position he has held
has been ably filled. His term in
congress, though brief, was
brilliant. He did as much in the
two months he was there as many
a congressman has done in two
years, in the way Of practical,
useful work in the interest of his
constituents. His efforts in behalf
of the Union soldiers have made
him staunch friends of that large
element in the senatorial district.
He is an honest, clean, manly man.
His business career is without spot
or blemish. He stands best where
he is best known. His republican
ism will, bear the closest scrutiny
and his zeal as a republican worker
distinguishes him as a worthy
leader. His business, that Of
logger, farmer, gristmilling and
banking has brought him in
contact with all classes of business
men, and it is not saying too much
to claim that he has always carried
himself in such a manner as TO
make friends among all Of these
classes. Mr.. Price will be less
likely to antagonize the large
temperance element in that sena-
torlal district than almost any
other man who might be nominated.
His nomination would strengthen
the state ticket in that district. tt
would strengthen the congressional
ticket III three districts Monroe
being in the seventh, Jackson in
the eighth and Wood in the ninth.
His nomination would be a
recognition Of the younger element
Of the party. 1t would be a
recognition of the best business
talent Of the party. It would be
an honor to the party, and it is
safe to say that his nomination
would result in harmonizing the
elements in both Wood and
Monroe county, He would carry
his own county, Jackson, by a
larger majority than any other
man who could be nominated.

LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS.

The Milwaukee Sunday Tele-
graph contains a sensible article on
Legislative nominations and favors
the nomination of Hon. Hugh H.
Price, of Black River Falls, for
State Senator in this district. If
We can't get Wood County man
we would favor Mr.. Prices
nomination.
The work Of selecting Legislative
candidates will soon commence.
Too great care cannot be exercised.
Two things should be kept in view
by the Republicans in making
these selections. First, only such
men as possess the ability to make
safe, capable, honest Legislators
should be nominated. Second,
the qualified men who combine the
most elements of popularity,
should be sought out for nomina-
ton. Proper legislative nomina-
tons are always desirable; they
are particularly desirable this year,
when the Republican party is on
the eve ofrestoration to powerin the
Nation for which it was for twenty
four years its most faithful, efficient,
honest and patriotic servant. Let
the Republicans Of no state in
the Union place an element of
weakness Or unhtness on a state,
legislative or county ticket in this
year Of glorious republican jubilee.
And, for that matter, any other
year. Then there will be no
danger Of defeat to the Republican
party by democracy; it can never
again be overcome in a National
contest, if Republicans are true to
themselves and their country at
least by party that is no more
progressive, able, honest, patriotic
and deserving than the democratic
party is. Since writing the above
we have read the call for a conven-
ton to be held at Tomah on the
goth inst, to nominate a republican
for the senate in the district
composed of Monroe, Jackson and
Wood counties. It is generally
conceded that the nominee will be
a Jackson county man. Republi-
can sentiment in that county, and,
in the other counties
OF the district, has been centering
upon Hon. Hugh II. Price, Of
Black River Falls. It will be
admitted, readily, tleast by every
one who knows Mr.. Price, that he
would meet the requirements
in this article. He
possesses the ability to make
safe, capable, honest, creditable
senator. His popularity as
has been tested. He
never sought a nomination; nor
was he ever defeated for Office, and
always ran ahead of his ticket.
He IS popular with the masses.
Though only thirty years Of age,

FOR SENATOR.

The last Marshheld Times pro-
poses Robert Connor, Esq, OF
Auburndale, as the candidate OF
Wood County Republicans for
Senator at the approaching Elec-
ton. The proposition is a good
one. Mr.. Conner has resided in
Wood County many years, and is
widely known as one of our safest
and best men. He has been
prominent and successful in
business; has done much to aid in
the growth and development Of the
county-especialIy in the north
part and has on all occasions been
moved by just and liberal policy
concerning all interests, public and
private. If this county can secure
the candidate, the nomination of
Mr.. Connor would be a worthy
recognition of a worthy man, and
would, the REPORTER believes, do
much to promote harmony and
good feeling throughout the
county.

Down On Cleveland.

Everybody knows the firm of
Thurber, Whyland & Co. to be
probably the greatest grocery
house in the world. When they
buy for manufacture the raw
material comes directly from the
farmer or producer. Four years
ago Horace K. Thurbcr, special
partner in the firm, was, to the
surprise Of his friends, strong
advocate Of the election Of Grover
Cleveland To-day he is as
strongly opposed to him. To a
reporter who sought an explana-
ton Of this change of front Mr..
Thurber said: Eyes, it is true
that I was in favor of Grover
Cleveland four years ago, and |
then gave my reasons for it. Now
[ believe it would be suicidal to
vote for him-or, rather, for the
platform which he represents. I
would not vote for my own father
| if he favored the destruction of
our American industries. I am
an American and desire our coun-
try's best interests first, last and
Iall the time. I am no politician
and have no axes to grind, but
am strongly in favor of a protec-
tive tariff because I believe it is
for the good Of our country and
those who earn their living in it.
If the tariff be reduced, the time
and cost importing is also reduced
through the aid of steam and
electricity. With the carrying
trade Of the ocean in the hands
and under the control of Europe
what must be the result? A re-
ductlon Of pay to the American
Workmen in order to produce the
same goods at the same market
price as European manufacturers
do. Europe, if the tariff be taken
off, will be enabled to convey our
raw material across the ocean,
manufacture it abroad, and return
It to this country, made up into
articles which we consume, much
cheaper than we can do it our
selves. The result would be a.
stoppage OF work here or compul-I
sorry reduction of wages. Do
these American workmen desire
to place themselves on the same
plane with the poorly paid work
men of Europe? That would bel
the result of the removal of the
tariff. | am DESTROYS for the wei
fare Of the American workman
before those of any other country,
for his success would be mine,
and [ can not see that the Mills
bill, which has been indorsed by
the St. Louis Democratic conven-
ton and by President Cleveland,
will be for their welfare. l am, |
therefore, opposed to it, and the
President who favors it, notwith-
standing the fact that I supported |
and voted for him in 1884.
when every European paper
hailed President Cleveland's mes
sage with delight, as tending |
toward free trade, it convinced ME
it was not for the best interests of
this country that he should be

thee of en-. 1 sent thee gifts; and when
i'll fortune fell on me hoped for thy sym
pathy, but news came that thou vert Mas
ter Hapwell's wife; and all that while
no letter in answer to mine"
"What gifts didst thou send me?'
asked Alice.
"a rare shawl, an amber necklace and
fan of peacock's feathers, set with
pearls" said Edwin.
And then Alice cried out 81 had the
gifts, but Master Hapwell said they were
from himself"
And then the two spoke at length, and
knew that Master Hapwell had hidden
the letters and bribed the sailor to lie,
and that thus he had parted them.
When Mistress Hapwell returned to
her husband a change for the worse had
taken place. He never spoke to her
again. He died and was buried. But
his lady wore no widows weeds, and to
the horror of the whole place she married
Edwin Ashburton one month from the
day of his funeral.
No one knew her story. 81 will say no
i'll of the Dead" she said to her Edwin.
LET them think i'll of me. But for ten
years-nay, eleven, we were sad because
of his deed. We will be happy now,
though the world think i'll of u.s." And
so they seemed. And they left the land
together, very soon, leaving gossips to say
what they pleased.
But later, in her old age, | think, the
woman told the story; for her descend
ants tell it still in the house that stands
where the Hapwell mansion stood-and
show her portrait on the wall, and the
fan of peacock feathers, set with pearls,
that Master Ashburton sent her from
India.

The pasture is usually one broad stretch
ofland, all of which is constantly accessible
to the stock confined. Not one pasture in
a hundred, perhaps, is divided so as to give
the animals only a portion at time. No
one who has ever tried it or observed the
effects of such an arrangement can doubt
the benefits of change of pasture. 1t IS a
benefit to the pasture itself, and a still
greater benefit to the stock. It's effects may
not be quite so noticeable OH young stock
turned out to pick living; but upon mich
cows that have to do more than simply hold
their own in flesh, it is altogether different.
A change of pasturage works wonders with
them. In fact, the flow of milk cannot be
keptup without an occasional change ofpas-
ture, unless iudeed, there be so extensive a
range that only a small portion Of it can be
touched. Take pasture Of say two acres
to ths COW, which is about the average. II
will Be kept continually fouled over, trod-
den and picked from end to end ever day

Intelligent Dogs.

Senator Kenna and Senator Blackburn
are great sportmen, as every one knows.
Each is the owner of pointer, the relative
merits ofwhich they are frequently engaged
in discussing in the cloak-rooms of the Sem
ate, much to the annoyance of their more
staid colleagues. The other day Kenna
said to Blackburn, lighting fresh cigar:
"Joe, you may talk as much as you like
about your dog, but mine won't 60 out with
me when the cartridges don't fit my gun"
An audible smile went around the room,
and everybody thought "Well, for once,
Joe Blackburn has been beaten at his own
game" Thejunior Senator from Kentucky,
however, was equal to the occasion. He
looked at Kenna for 4 minute and then
quietly remarked:
"Wel, Kenna, I admit that your dog
exhibits an intelligence almost akin to rea-
son, but don't mind backing mine against
him. ! was in the fields one day with that
dog, and a man I was not acquainted with
came along near us My dog pointed at
him. / called to that dog, but nothing
would induce him to moYe. So I went up
to the stranger.
Sir, said, would you oblige me with
your name?"
"'Certainly,' replied the stranger; my
name is Partridge. !"
Without another word Kenna took Black
burns arm and both disappeared in the
direction of the Senate restaurant, followed
by the shouts of their friends.

When grass has stood too long and is
overripe before cutting, it looks so dry that
it seems need but little curing before put
ting into the barn; yet late-cut hay IS as
frequently damaged in the NOW by not being
well cured as is that which is cut before it
has bloomed out It is most frequently
Smoky" To prevent this it should be cut
when there is no dew or rain upon it, and
put into heaps in which it should stand
twenty-four hours or longer, that the juice
which is in the stalk may sweat out. Then
give it an hour or 50 Of sun and air, and It
will be found to be more thoroughly dried
than it would be by two days Of hot sun.

Carriages and farm wagons might be

weather in tightening up the bolts that hold
the wagon together AS rule, farmers
give no attention to this work, and only
find out that a bolt is loose when the nut is
lost, or some portion Of the woodwork
breaks down. During every dry season the

He sold his goods nor asked for more,
And his name was Alexander.
He mixed his goods with cunning hand
He was a skillful brander;
And, since his sugar half was sand
They call him Alex-Sander.
He had his dear one, to her came,
Then lovingly he scanned her;
He asked her would she change her name,
Then a ring did Alex-hand-her.
