Coe Nose" What Did Tt.

The following item is going the
roun DIS of the press, portion Of it
being a quotation from Ed. Goes
Whitewater Register
z. d. Coe, editor Of the Whitewater Register,
who was candidate Tor the Office Of Secretary
Of state on the Republican ticket. has the
following explanation Of the causes OF the late
political landslide: "A good many theories
have been advanced to account for the late
defeat Of the Republican state ticket but the
bed rock fact is that the pictures Of the Repub-
hcan candidates which were published In the
press did the fatal business. The bots meant
well; and so did the man who killed a iiy on
his friends nose with base bali bat"

Senator .Spooner.

If any future event is certain it is
the retirement of Senator Spooner,
of Wisconsin, from the Senate at the
close of this session of Congress.
1t Is generally supposed that he
could have had the appointment to
the Supreme Bench that was given
To Mr. Brown if he had so desired.
If the position were offered him he
has declined it, and Republicans of
the country will be glad that he has
done So For such a man at such
time TO become entombed in the
sarcophagus Of the judiciary would
be public misfortune.
The country has too few men who
can by their eloquence hold listen
ing Senate, and from the platform
rouse in the people the old fashioned
enthusiasm for principles. Mr..
Spooner is needed where he is. Wis
cousin is Republican state. Moth
ing short of a cyclone can overthrow
the Republican party in that state.
Mr. Spoouer will be the natural and
undisputed head of the party, and is
very greatly needed at the front.
Two years hence the venerable Sen
aJor Sawyer's term will expire, and
then, in all human probability, there
would be an opportunity without
the slightest effort or friction, for
Mr., Spoouer TO resume his place in
the upper house of Congress.
The state could no doubt be car
ried By the republicans without his
leadership, but the country needs
his services. An orator and a states
man, he meets a want not easily
filled. The drift Of the day is
toward either mere skill and luck in
money making or skill and luck in
wire-puliug. The Clays, the Web
sters, the Summers, the yonklings
are all in the past The best brain
of the Nation is not attracted TO
politics in these days as formerly.
The tendency of the period is
toward private life, especially to the
service OF great corporations Instead
of the people, But IN Senator
Spoouer the country has an eloquent
advocate of human rights and, in
embryo, what 1t Is hoped will de
veIop into great craftsmanship.
Without doubt he can certainly
secure the highest honors within
the gift of his state without STOPPING
TO the ways and means of the aver
aye politician.
1t Is impossible to forecast the
issues of the future, near OF rem ote,
but certain 1t Is that great and
momentous questions are gradually
shaping themselves aud pressing
for practical answer. The great
speech just made by MIR. SpOOner
on the election bill shows that ne is
keenly alive to the importance of
what Is really the supreme demand
of American craftsmanship, and
will continue To be until the right
of suffrage shall be actually enjoyed
throughout the country. The
financial question is taxing new
forms continually, and requires the
exercise OF the highest intellectual
power. II Is no very dltfi5ult mat
ter for the President TO hi worJnuy
vacant seat on the bench, out the
most powerful telescope might
sweep the political heavens IN vain
search for another brilliant star
growing toward the first magnitude.
