Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1891-12-11

The Milwaukee Sentinel and The
Wisconsin State Journal have recently
devoted considerable space to dis
cussing the relation of the Republican
party to the late Bennett school law.
Their object is not to resurrect the, law;
but to devise ways and means to win
back to the Republican party the voters
lost through its advocacy. They are
agreed that the next state convention
should adopt resolution accepting
the result of the election of 1890 as a
final settlement of the question. The
following extract from an article in
The State Journal shows the drift of
the sentiment expressed by these two
leading republican papers:
"The educational issue is settled and
the Republican party is willing it shall
stay settled. The party met the issue
fairly, but unfortunately the circum-
stances were such as to involve the
party in conflict with race preiudices
and religious fanaticism. It was quite
impossible to convince some people
that the party was not contending for
the Bennett law. The Republican
party, however, met the issue as best
it could, and it accepts the result as
determined by the votes of the people"
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1891-12-11

The election Of Mr.. Crisp, for speak
er of the house of representatives, over
Mr.. Mills, the able and conspicuous
tariff reform champion, means no
backward step in the fight for a re-
duction of federal taxation. So says
Mr.. Crisp himself. The following
good words were uttered by him in
response to his nomination by the
democratic caucus:
81 pledge myself here and now to
devote whatever of industry and abil-
ity | possess to the advancement of
the real interests Of the democratic
party. | beg TO say to you now as /
speak to you my first words since |
am your selection for speaker, that
my election means no step backwards
in tariff reform. beg to say to you
that there is in our party today no
man who more earnestly believes in
the democratic doctrine Of tariff re-
form than | do. "
