In less than two weeks the presiden-

business will resume its wonted course.
Mineral Point merchants have pre-
pared for a big fall and winter trade.
They have purchased immense stocks
of goods, and we venture the asser-
ton that no town of similar size to
ours, offers better opportunities to the
purchaser. Look over the large and
carefully selected stocks that are found
here, of clothing, dry goods, dress
goods, eloaks, carpets etc.; learn the
prices at which these are being sold,
and be convinced that you can do well
by trading with the merchants of the
old reliable city of Mineral Point.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: In last weeks
issue of The Tribune appeared an ar
ticle written by Mr.. CaIyer Spensley
headed: Blake Refuted." In an
swer l wish to insert in your paper
the following extract from the history
of that :" Willard Memorial" as print
ed by The Lever, of Chicago. l do
this not for political effect, but in JUS
tice to Rev. II. p. Blake who is no t
here to defend himself
but about the memorial. In whose
hands did it fall, and what respect was
paid to it? II that piece e paper
| could speak, what a tale it could tell.
| Fortunately it can speak, and the tale
! it tells is a narrowing one indeed. In
accordance with the request of the
librarian Of the Chicago Historical So
| ciety, the important documents per
| tanning to the republican convention
were gathered up and preserved. AT
ter all had been collected, they We're
| bound in book, and placed in the
| archives of that society. Among them
is the famous memorial, with the sig
natures of the national officers of the
w. c. I. L. inscribed upon it. From
| top to bottom it is spattered with to-
bacco spittle.
One corner of the memorial is COW
cred completely by the poisonous stuff,
which hS faded after four years so as
to allow the Inscription to be read
through the stain.
1t will probably be claimed that
such a disgraceful piece of business
was wholly accidental, that some mis-
chievOuS breath Of wind from Lake
| Michigan had blown the leaf from the
| table, and that some stray mOuthful of
! tobacco juice fell upon it with no in
| intentional direspect to the document.
| Such an explanation will not suffice.
No other of all the documents filed
at the rooms of the Historical Society
was - accidently" soiled in such man
ner. The memorial was fastened to
other memorials from the several state
! W. c. T. Unions, and no breeze would
be liable to lift bundle of that size to
| the floor.
1t must have been tossed down by
| some member Of the committee, and
if the tobacco juice deposited upon
it was accidental, no excuse can be
offered for such carelessness. If the
members of that committee had had
the slightest respect for Miss Willard
or the cause she represented, no such
accident would ever have occurred.
have copy of the Willard Memo
rial, showing/how the original looks
at the present time. Any person de-
string to see the same can do so by
