MILWAUKEE, Special Telegram, Aug
27.-Milwaukee presented a busy appear
ance this morning. owing to the demo-
cratic state convention. The delegates
from all parts of the state arrived last eve
ming, and button-holing Immediately
began Not only were the delegates present
but also many of the staunch democrats
who love their par and are ever watchfu
for its welfare. The city had such guests
as w. C. Silverthorn, of Wausau, who was
quietly working for the Oshkosh sage Gabe
Bouck; Joe Morrow, of the seventh district,
was shaking hands and telling good jokes,
while his friend from the sixth, DR..
Rush B. Winslow, of Appleton, was setting
up the pins for Senator VIM. Kennedy for
the attorney generalship. Many other illus
hotel corridors and on the streets each
busily engaged in booming his own can
didate. The utmost good feeling existed
and friendly canvass showed the results
for governor as stated in yesterday morn
ing's DEMOCRAT. But this morning after
caucuses had been held by several congress
sional districts, the Peck boom rose to
fever heat and the Bouck supporters
smiled and predicted that the boom was
inflated Old Gabe was himself on the
ground ana was explaining the growth of
the young democracy in Winnebago coun-
ty.
The friends of John Winans and Col J.
H. Knight did not as much as mind the
apparent booms.- IF Peck and Bouck, but
worked steadily on and, to tell the truth,
when the convention was called at II
o'clock, nobody knew what the outcome
would be.
The stage presented a picturesque ap-
pearance, the front being occupied by the
knights of the quill and back of these
among the scenery, were seated many who
had grown gray in the service of the party
and who looked on with great satisfaction,
seeing the younger and more active ele
ment working tooth and nail to bring the
offices into good hands
Morrow's Ringing speech
At 1915 Chairman Z. C. Wall dropped
the gavel, and stated that he had been in
structed to propose as temporary officers
of the convention Joseph NJ. Morrow, of
Sparta, as temporary chairman; l.. A.
Lange, of Fond du Lac, and J. NJ Clancy,
of Dane, as temporary secretaries. The
convention unanimously agreed TO the
choice of the state central committee.
Mr. Morrow was received with prolonged
cheers as he stepped forward.

Gone With q Widow.

VIM. Keogh, the Comstock slog-
ger, has departed from that burg
with a widow lately possessed OF
$4,000. In this matter says the
Enterprise, he displayed the same
keen discretion that he showed in
never stepping into the ring with a
man he couldn't whip. Those who
were SO fond of admiring him will
probably see him no more, but they
will feel better when they get over it.
Joe Douglass, of whom Keogh rent
ed room while in Virginia City,
says he has been offered as high as
$40 a week for the rent of the room
now, and has had several bids for
it under that figure. We hope the
Comstock dudes don't imagine that
Keogh left what he caught the wild
ow with in his room.

The Contests for once.
Almost every one Of our e,

Almost every one Of our ex-
changes throughout the State have,
during the last month, contained
accounts of how much votes sold
for in the respective counties in
which the papers are published.
There may have been votes bought
in Lyon county. At any rate,
there are two or three parties who
came close to winning, who1 think
they can show that there were such
gross irregularities in the election
that they would have been elected
had they not occurred. Mr.. Davis,
the Democratic nominee for Assess
or is beaten by only two votes. He
will contest the matter because the
returns from Wabuska were sent in
by mail instead of by messenger.
Mr.. Twaddle, the Republican NOM
inee for Sheriff is beaten by a few
votes. He only received two votes
| in Sutro, and claims that he has
five men in that precinct who will
swear that they voted for him. John
Lothrop is opposed to the Wabuska
returns, and charges fraud here in
Dayton precinct. There are charges
that money was used here to defeat
certain candidates. This may be
SO. If it is there probably was no
more of that kind of work done
than has been done in years gone
by. 1t is wrong that these things
should be done, of course, but it is
a very hard matter to prove these
things. In fact it is impossible.
There are always irregularities in an
election and it is safe to say that it
is stand off with the parties after
the election is over. There is as
much corruption in one party as in
another. Throughout the State
there have been many close con-
tests for offices but in no other
county have the defeated candidates
contested the matter. The matter
in this county was brought before 8
Grand Jury the first of this month
but the jury ignored all charges
made. Now the case has beer
brought before the District Court

A New Industry.

Towle Bros. have cut 100000
feet of lumber this year. The pulp
mill will start up soon on material
from 1000 cords of tamarack and
fir. The firm has just placed in the
pulp mill a plant to convert saw
dust into dry pulp for the use of
giant powder manufacturers, says
the Truckee Republican. The saw
dust is ground very fine between
millstones and is bolted like -four.
1t is used as an absorbent of nitro
glycerine in the manufacture of
giant powder and other explosives.
Its production is a new industry on
this coast, and much of it has even
beed brought from Norway. Towle
Bros. utilize the dust from their
sawmills and also from the planning
mill for making this new material.
