Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1890-11-12

| advertised for Saturday evening at
Concordia Opera house, was declared
off on account of the bad weather and
| the Democratic celebration.
We regret to learn of the death Of
the wife of O. f. Weaver, editor ofThe
Beaver Dam Weekly, which occurred
at her home in Beaver Dam. Novem-
Der 1, at the age of As years.
We were told before election that
only three votes would be cast tor
Hoard in Herman, Dodge county.
Well, Hoard received twenty-three
votes in that town. This was coming
within about 700 per cent. OF the way
the matter turned out.
The Democracy celebrate In Mil
waukee this evening. 1t will be the
greatest effort of their lives in the way
of "whooping it up" for their victory.
The railroads carry the celebratlonlsts
at one and one-third fare for the round
trip. Waterfowl will be numerously
represented.
Mrs. r. E. Davis (Rahel Q Von), of
Watertown, preached three times Sum
dav at the Salem church. Rock Hill, to
large audiences. Her sermons were
powerful, elegant and effective. She is
very fluent and influential talker, and
her subjects are proper and effective.
She preached at Lake Emily, last night,
to a large audience. Kingston Spy, Oct.
20. 1890.
1t was a reporters mistake which
represented William A. Prentiss, who,
in his 92d year, went to the polls on
Tuesday to vote the Republican ticket,
as a former Democrat. Mr.. Prentiss
was a Wing in early life, became a Re-
publican when that party was organ
lied, and has since consistently voted
to maintain it's principles
Sentinel.
The gentleman referred to above is
uncle of Hon. Theodore Prentiss, of
this city
st. Paul's Episcopal church will be
graced with handsome spire, mem
orial from Daniel Jones, senior warden
of the parish, to his wife, Elizabeth Har-
ger Jones' The spire will be 81 feet and
10 inches in height and will contain a
fine bell of 600 pounds weight, from the
Meneely Bell company, Of Troy, n. Y.
John F. Dornfeld is the architect and
contractor. 1t is expected to have the
spire completed and the bell mounted
by next Christmas Day.
If the Republicans at the late cleo
ton did as well throughout the state
as in the city of WATERFOWL, the Demo
cratic state ticket would have been
badly ''scooped." Out of total of l.,
564 votes the Democrats gained fiftysix
votes for governor. This is eight votes
to precinct Take the l, 300 precincts
of the state and eight votes to precinct
| would give the Democrats a gain
throughout the state of 10,400, which
would have given Hoard about 10000
| majority.
To have such man as Hon. H. A.
Cooper defeated by Clinton Rabbit is
one of the anomalies of politics. Even
the strongest friend of the latter would
not for a moment compare his fitness
for the position of congressman with
that of Mr.. Cooper. No better man
ever went under in political vortex
than H. A. Cooper, and his defeat is
public calamity. Had the other parts
of the district done half as we'll for him
as Jefferson county, he would have
| been elected.
The Western Manufacturing COM
pany is the latest venture in the manu-
featuring line in Watertewn. The con-
Germ is composed of F. B. futile, E.W.
Schultz and Geo. Mannegold, with a
capital of S. 800. The company manu-
facture gas fixtures and other goods
manufactured by brass founders. The
company occupy the Davis building on
First street, and their order books
show promising beginning. We trust
the Western may build up large and
fourishing business. 1t is by such in
stitutions that Watertown may expect
to add to her resources and popula-
| ton.
Mayor Peck, Henry G. Payne, State
Treasurer Harshaw, Gov. Hoard, II. D.
Fisher, of Florence; Chase S. Osborn,
of Sault Ste. Marie, and number of
other well-known gentlemen, are inter
ested in the purchase Of the beautiful
little island of Espinore, in LakeHuron,
| five miles from the mouth of the ST.
| Mary's river The island contains 116
acres of land, and in its center there is
a fine little lake that teens with bass
| and other fish. It is finely wooded,
| and has a natural harbor. The pur
chasers intend to make improvements,
and use the island as summer resort.
As reflection on 'the intelligence
| of the First ward' story is going the
| rounds to the effect that forty ballots
were thrown out of the poll of that
| ward at the last election, because the
