LaFoHette and the Soldiers.

One George b. VanNorman, of
Milwaukee, has published letter
calling upon old soldiers of the
Third congressional district to
desert Hon. r. M. LaFollette for
reasons that are purely personal-a
motive OF selfish madness. 1t APP
pears that while Mr.. LaFollette was
district attorney for Dane count ty he
defended one Lars Olson, whose
name had been forged on notes by
a person named Loftsgaarden. One
Of these notes which was for $500
VanNorman held, and he had about
persuaded Olson to pay the face of
the note when LaFollette, as Olson's
attorney, interfered, and secured for
his client a settlement whereby Van
Norman realized only $50 instead of
$500. This is sufficient TO demon
strate to intelligent people the value
which the Milwaukee man attached
to the document, inasmuch as Olson
is worth probably SIS, 200 TO $4,000,
and judgment against him would
be worth It's face any time. That it
was a case of forgery was proven IN
trial just previously had, the pa
pers in which case are now on file in
the Dane county court house. The
Mil waukee man became very indig-
nant and threatened to get even
with Mr.. LaF gillette some time if it
cost him $4,000. In every cam
paign since then he has bobbed up
serenely with pleas to old soldiers
to withdraw their support from Mr.

BOOTS AND SHOES.
PENHALLEGoN AND BRoTHER,

"The leaders" in the shoe business
in this vicinity, would invite your
careful inspection of their FaN and
Winter stock of fine and medium
FoOtaoedr.
Their stock is arriving daily, and
will include all the latest novelties
in seasonable goods for you to select
from.
Price isn't everything, but it is a
great deal when properly considered
in relation to quality, and we are
able to confidently invite compari-
son of our prices with any others
made on a like grade of goods, aud
are sure the comparison will be in
our favor. We aim to give the best
quality for the lowest price.
Respectfully,
PENHALLEGoN IL Bro.

LaFollette and give it to his oppo-
nent, but this is the first time his
motive has been made public and it
is not believed that with these facts
in their possession old soldiers, or
any other persons for that matter,
will assist Mr.. VanNorman in oh
tanning sweet revenge upon the
doughty little congress sman, who
was guilty of no fault, unless the
protection of a client ag ainst what
he believes to be an imposition is a
fault in lawyer.
In his letter VanNorman asserts
that "LaFollette would damn a
soldier if he thought by so doing he
would gain votes. This is both in
sulting and false. The soldiers have
never had a more jealous friend
than Mr.. LaFollette and there are
hundreds of old veterans in this
congressional district who are able
and ready to testify to his faithful
and efficient work in their interests.
He voted for the disability pension
bill, that WAS asked for by the q. A.
Il. pension committee, and which
was so roundly abused by democrats
in and out of congress. More than
two-thirds of the democratic mem
bers in the house opposed the bill.
The insulting and maliciously
false letter of VanNorman deserves
a rebuke at the hands of the people
of this district.

"7he HON g. Welcome"
BY REV. 8. X. CHUBB.


Bless God, like the Mediterranean
shipwrecked ones, we may all escape
safe to land. If we don't, it is be-
cause we won't strike out for shore.
Suicide and not misfortune is the
verdict pronounced over the lost.
If, when the King goes the round
of nspection, we are found speech
less, it will be because of indiffer-
ence and insolence in not putting on
the wedding garment freel y provided
for all. If we 90 down amidst the
breakers of our sins, it will be be-
cause we would not grasp the rope
flung to us from the shore by the
wounded hand of the Captain. If
we appear IN the undesirable state
of a moral bankrupt, it will be be-
cause Of spurning the riches offered
to as. If, when the Bridegroom
cometh, our lamps are out, 1t will be
because we were too lazy to get oil.
The oil well of Christ's pardon is
always full stream, and never rises
in price. If we starve our souls to
death, it will be by not reaching out
to the exhaustless bread basket. Ii
you perish for thirst, 1T will be close
to the falling spray from the waters
of the living, everhowing fountain.
If we don't cross successfully our
Jordan, twill be because we were
too stupid to go on board the Kings
ferryboat. Hear this, 0, ye peoplel
Ye will not (not cannoD-ye DW
not come unto Me that ye might
have life. None so deaf but they
can hear that. None so lame but
they can come to the Savior. None
so dumb but they can ask the Lord
for what they need. Q, that is a
stupid soul, verify, that knoweth not
enough TO eat when hungry, and get
out OF the fire when burning, and
get under shelter from the storm
when close to home! God says, the
stool" can come. Anybody worse
than that! If 50, please let US
know, and we will advertise him as
a curiosity.
All through the Bible 1t is come;
Genesis reaches out both her hands
to Micah, and Revelation reaches
out her hands till they meet-each
half-way-they clasp the centuries
in one fond embrace, and along the
line of years is: Whoever will come
may come. The sacrifices and Of
fer,ngs Of the Mosaic and Levitical
economies lift up their flaming
hands on the palms of which is the
one word, come. The all-atoning
sacrifice of the New Testament,
which is once for all in the person
Of dying Savior, we hear IN the
nail-hanmering, the grating OF the

False PretenSe.

The imitation by the democrats
of the republican banner of "the
little school house," printed in all
their papers, and prominently dis
played on their little campaign tracts
being scattered by the million
throughout the state, give the lie
direct to Candidate Crawford's as
sertion that the school question is
not living and prominent issue in
this campaign. If it is matter of
so little consequence why do they
thus "steal the livery of heaven to
serya the devil in?" Recognizing
their blunder in taking position
against the public schools, they now
seek to befog the people by falsely
representing that there is no vital
difference between the parties on
this question. But few will be
deceived. The wolf cannot be hid
den by the sheep-pelt; his claws
stick out. The democratic Chicago
Herald tells us what's the matter
with the democracy of Wisconsin
Read the editorial from the Herald
in another part of this paper for the
truth about the Badger democrats.

Answer Yes or No-G entIeme
The dem ocratic platform adopted
in Milwaukee declares the so-called
Bennett school law unnecessary, un-
American, ETC., and demands itS re
peal. The people have the right to
know whether any candidate for the
Legislature if elected will vote in
accordance with that demand or not.
N. II. Martin and M. J. Bennett, the
republican candidates, if elected
are pledged by their own utterances
as well as by the platform of their
party to sustain the prin ciples of
that law and oppose any effort to
repeal or nullify it. The people
want to know how r. M. Crawford
and E. U. Baker, the democratic
nominees, will vote upon this ques-
ton if elected. Stand up, gentle
men, and tell us, without equivoca-
tion, will you or will you not vote
in accordance with your party plat
form. No lodging, now. When
you solicit the votes of men who
are opposed to the repeal of the law,
be honest enough to let them know
your position on this question. The
TRIBUNE is anxious to record your
answers.

CAPT. RICHARD CARTER has dis
charged his duty as district attorney
faithfully, ably and satisfactorily.
As a soldier for the Union he has a
highly creditable record. Although
enlisted as musician, and not re-
quired to enter into actual combat,
he participated directly in some of
the bloodiest engagements with the
I'd regiment, laying down his horn
and taking up a musket for such oc-
casions. He was severely wounded,
and has been a suff ferer therefrom to
the present. For special merit he
was promoted from the ranks of the
Cd regiment to captaincy In the
5tb and served with the latter regi-
ment through all its bright and
bloody career to the close of the
war. There should be no doubt of
the reelection of any man with such
a record.
