THE BIG POLITICIANS.

Peck George w. Peck, Mil

Expects to mayor, has been in
Chicago, and to re-
Win. porter he confided the
political situation of
Wisconsin from Democratic stand
point. he said: 'sWe are in the fight
to win, and the campaign is on now.
We expect to win, as do also the
Republicans. Mr.. hoard, my COM
petitOr, is a farmer, and for that rea-
son he is very strong candidate.
While the farmers are very we'll posted
on the tariff issues they are very much
attached to Mr. Hoard, and he will poll
a larger vote than any other man they
could have placed on the Republican
ticket, yet l hope to defeat him. Appar-
emily the Republican voters are Oh the
eve of a revolt, and if that view of the
situation is correct l will be the next
governor of Wisconsin. The school
question will be a factor in the cam
pa'gn. as the Democrats do not want
any Republican constableS or Pinkerton
detectives toregulate the public schools.
Both parties have referred to the school
question in their platforms, but there
are more important issues that will be
state officers VINO have charge of the
public funds and have loaned them out
and never applied the interest to
the credit of the state. The Democrats
claim they can be prosecuted now and
made to diSgorge, besides being subject
to imprisonment. The Republicans
claim they will reform this abuse and
enact law securing to the state this
vast amount of money which hereto
fore has gone into the officers pockets.
The Democracy of the state is quite
harmonious, and l will get the united
support of the party. Gen. Bragg
was the most bitter man against me
when nominated, but that is his way,
and he was deeply interested in secur-
ing the nomination of his friend. Gen.
Bouck. The same may be said of Col.
Villas. who supported his friend, Gen.
Knight. They looked upon me as be-
ing mere boy and funny fellow, not
capable of being business man, be-
cause l have been the author of
number of funny stories, which
fact has given me some promi-
nence. | think Mr.. Cleveland will
be the next Democratic candidate for
president, and that feeling is universal
throughout the West among the Demo-
ment. When that time comes it will
test the farmers sincerity in desiring
relief from the burdens of tariff and
taxation. He made the bold fight on
that issue and went down, and now.
since they have realized the correctness
of his ideas and theory of economic gov
ernment, they will have the opportunity
of sustaining him or showing their i'll

Reed for
President
in go.
There has been more
talk among politicians
during the week about
the triumphant re-elec-
ton of Speaker Reed

combined. 1t is not to be disguised
that the result of his victory has made
him formidable figure in presidential
calculations. The speaker has been
known among his associates and
the observers of public affairs
as a mau of large cali
Der for years. But the public has now
become possessed of that knowledge
also, and, as if by one great leap, he has
passed into the forefront. l have seen
him on the floor as the leader of the
minority of congress. when he was
constant thorn in the side of the oppO-
the mouthpiece and autocaat, if
you please. of the majority; in the
private parlor among men ana women,
and in the quiet seclusion that men seek
in their own apartments. Under all
these varying circumstances he was

man, broad man. strong man,
Ten years ago l first heard him
make stump speech out in Ohio,
which he began with the peculiar
nasal drawi for which New EnglanderS
are noted. | thought that we were
going to have sermon or a camp-meet-
ing harangue, but the longer he spoke
the less | regarded the tWang of the
v dltt tilc niOIG L. gave ~
what he was saying. His wit was in
cisive, his sarcasm scathing, his argu-
ments clear and his method of
stating them pungent and popular.
But above all things he is the
readiest public man that has come
within the range of my observation, not
even excepting Mr.. Blaine. The latter
lost the presidency in 1884 because he
was not ready enough to turn the
Burchard incident. There is something
of coolness and placidity, too, with Mr..
Reed, which is illustrated by a
recent episode in New York. he
was walking along Broadway, near
Madison square, when Gen. George A.
Sheridan, the well-known orator, espied
him, and walked along to overtake
him. AS the orator got within three or
four feet of the speaker he exclaimed in
his deepest tones. Mr.. Speakern AS
the general tells the story, it was a
voice that would have startled any
ordinary man. but Mr.. Reed did not
seem to move muscle as he responded:
''The gentleman from New York" iIf-
tuitively jumping to the conclusion that
it was New Yorker who was address
ing him, and entering into the humor of
the address in that manner on the street.

A Dog and Its Dead Mistress.
Pail Mall Gazette
A touching story of a dog was mar
rated at an inquest at Carmarthen last
might. Postman Llewellyn was going
his rounds when he failed to obtain a
reply at a Mrs. Tooting's, Catherine
street, and on entering the house was
horrified to find the lady's body lying
burning over the fire. He endeavOred to
rescue her. but the house dog became
so furious that he had to beat a retreat.
and it was not until the nelghbors were
summoned that the faithful creature
could be beaten off.

THE APPARENT EFFECT.

The withdrawal of RAHILLY from the
Alliance ticket is not likely to affect
the movement to a perceptible extent.
The vacancy Will, no doubt, be filled,
and the place where he went out re-
semble the hole left in the water by the
withdrawn stick. 1t was hardly
happy conceit of the gentleman to dis
cover a lack of harmony as an incident
of his retirement. Special devotion to
the interests of the organization would
suggest that as paci6cator his efforts
would be more effective in the respon-
sible aid influential position assigned
him. If the general opinion of the
Alliance members is understood, it To-
Gates all the diScordant element in the
immediate vicinity of the retiring can
didate, or a couple of his personal
friends. 1t is not noted that the sup
porters of the Alliance ticket are losing
any portion of their earnestneSS. Their
manners and demeanor at the st. Cloud
meeting Wednesday were not indicative
of any abatement of purpose. Their
experience with ambitious individuals
who would make the organization sub
serve selfish personal ends, is not alto
gether peculiar. The early histories of
political organizations are apt to be
made discordant in this way. .Individ-
uals drop out or are run over anu the

TOOK IN THE FARMERS.
The farmers in some portions of Wis
consin have, perhaps, relied too much
upon the occasional information found
In the sometime publication of their
agricultural executive. They did not
discern the ''signs of the times' with
the alertness of class of spectators,
perhaps from lack of early data. A
syndicate of spectators in Chicago and
Milwaukee augured the effect of undue
aridity IN potato-producing sections, and
sent out their agents through section
of the state where the conditions were
favorable, and contracted for all the DO
tatoes possible at 25 cents a busheI. The
reluctant growers of the indispensable
tuber are now forced to see their
product taken from them at half or less
the. current local rates. From one little
village near Columbus the buyers take
eighty carloads, and they are reported
to have cornered most of the potato
regions in the tributary districts of the
two lake cities. There is nothing un-
usual in the transaction, but it will

The Republican organs have COM
menced their old tactics and are now
trying te create division in the local
Democratic field. An evening organ
yesterday made the assertion that
candidate on the Democratic county
had predicted the defeatof several other
candidates on that ticket. This was,
of course, untrue. The fact is, the
Democratic candidates are all pulling
straight and will all be elected. Nei-
ther of these assertions can be made of
the Republican ticket. The Republican
organs themselves are authority for the
assertion that one of the Republican
nominees is already trading off the bal
ance of his ticket.
