is nervous looking young man with a
fierce mustache, short cropped hair,
piercing eyes and large mouth, and
the Pittsburg papers are kicking because
they fear people will imagine this to be a
sample Of the general run Of masculinity

The Little Giants Long speech.


A Chicago man tells new story on
Stephen A. Douglass and William II.
Seward. 1t was just before the war,
when both were in the Senate. Douglas
was going on the floor TO make great
speech, and Seward called him into
one of the cloak-rooms and said TO
him:
Douglas, you're going to make a
big speech. Come and take drink
with me. have here a jug of twenty
year-old brandy sent me by one OF my
constituents. Try little"
But Douglas declined, and soon
afterward made his appearance on the
floor and addressed tie Senate in set
effort. After he had finished he again
met Seward in the cloak-room.
You're tired now, Douglas said
the New Yorker, land you'd better try
a drop of that forty-ycar-oid brandy of
mine.
"Tired!' exclaimed Douglass, Il
should say | was. am exhausted.
Could you expect anything else of
a man v no has just finished the long
est speech the world has ever heara!"
"Oh, that wasn't long speech, !"

minutes"

They All Like Gresham.

The Milwaukee Sentinel quotes "a
Milwaukee man who enjoys the conf
dence of George William Curtis, Carl
SEIZURE, Theodore Roosevelt and Editor
Jones, of the New York Times" as
authority for the statement that all these
men are ready TO support Gresham and
and then goes Oh to say: "There are
very good reasons why any man who IS
not a hopeless Democrat should prefer
such man as Judge Gresham to Presi-
dent Cleveland. There IS the quality
in Gresham that wins the respect and
confidence of men, whether they are
Democrats or Republicans. Thorough
going in his Republicanism. represent
ing Republican ideas of the tariff, his
strict integrity, his severe honesty aud

Judge Gresham is the object of en-
nifty OF no class of Republicans. The
opposition in Indiana is not at ali what
it seems to be on its face. There is no
reason to doubt that outside of few
managers in Indiana, he is favorite in
his own state, although the delegation
may appear to be mostly for Harrison.
Not any class Of Republicans can lind

Gresham, while every Republican can

A Startling Thought.

Miss Blank is a teacher in the Girls
Latin School. In teaching anatomy
she uses the articulated skeleton of a
girl, and beginners in the study of
anatomy in Miss Blanks class are usu-
ally very much impressed by her
familiarity with the to them awesome
object. Not long ago new girl in
tie class sat through the lesson in
sort of stupetied silence, gazing fear
fully at the grinning skeleton and
amazedly at the teacher who handled
it with such serene composure. When
the lesson was over the new girl, max
ing a frightened detour around the
skeleton, approached Miss Blank, and
in a horrible thrilling whisper in
quired:
''Is that the skeleton OF Latin
School girl or 4 High School girls"
Miss Blank was obliged to confess
ignorance on that vital point. -BoS-

Our Ticket For 1888.
Wisconsin S Cand idate.

state without presidential candi-
date this year is clearly out of fashion
and not entitled to much consideration.
If state has no fayorite son, or if
having such a son he has no presidential
bee, or if perchance that Industrious and
patient insect has been hidden to bide
his time, then that state immediately
adopts candidate from some neighbor-
ing state that has one to spare. If "to
be out Of the fashion is to be out Of the
world, Wisconsin is in the world, for
we have candidate, and we didn't
have to 60 outside to get one either.
While presidential lightning rods have
been going up all around us one has
been slowly rearing from the dome Of
the capitol at Madison.
There has been some random talk for
a good many months about Gov. Rusk
being candidate for the presidential
nomination, but it is only since his re-
turn from his trip south and his visit in
Washington, that he has come out as an
ayowed candidate The HERALD had
long before this decided in favor of
Judge Gresham as the standard bearer
Of the Republican party this fall, and
has seen no reason to regret that decis-
ion. At the same time we would not
disparagc other candidates, nor do we
wish to make comparisons which might
be, as Mrs. Darlington says. .odorous
Gov Rusk would show some clements
OF strength as presidential candidate.
He is thorough Republican; man
Of good executive ability and of expert
encein public affairs; man of nerve and
decision His war record and his SER
vices to the country and the state both
in congress and in the gubernatorial
chair would all be in his favor
It is said also that he is very popular
with tho Germans and would poll rs
large German vote as any man in
country His friends claim that he will
have from rs 10 100 votes in the con-
vention on the first ballot. 1t seems TO
be generally conceded that the Wiscon-
sin delegation will give him their first
vote at least.
Such, in brief,is the status of Wiscon-
sins presidential boom. 1t is q quiet
one, and IS not making much stir either
at home or abroad. Still, nobody can
tell what may come of it; and while
tho opinion does not seem to prevail
that we are likely to be honored by
Wisconsin president, there arc good
many who will agree with the old soldier
who said to us the other day: "If the
lighting should strike Jerry's rod it
would not 90 astrayn
