BADGER STATE POLITICS.

reached the city yesterday, after having Wis
tied the National Park, was Hon. II. j. Cum
bingham, the present secretary of state of
Wisconsin. 3esi1es being one of the Dem
ocratic leaders OF the Badger state. Col. Cum
bingham is the editor of two fiourishing pa
pers in Chippewa Falls, the Times, a weekly.
and the Daily Independent Being sue
cessful newspaper man, OF course, fits Col.
Cunningham for any position in the gift of
the people; this explains his popularity as a
state official. Long resident of the Badger
state. Mr. Cunningham is thoroughly posted
on the political situation. and speaks as one
who knows. He was asked yesterday which
way he thought Wisconsin would go next
year.
II am firmly of the opinion" he said,
said, that the state is now solidly Dem
ocratIc. The Democracy of Wisconsin
has no factional fights on hand. and
will go into the great battle of 1892
to win. Our majority last year was about
$4,000, and 1 do not believe we shall lose
many of our new friends and allies. The
Republicans were divided last year, to be
sure, but they are in no better shape this
year, and they will not be twelve months
later"
(which party will carry the next legis-
lature and secure Senator Sawyers sue
ccssor?'
''On that point the Democrats are secure"
was the answer. Even the most radical Re-
publicans concede the legislature to US. You
see there was new and fair legislative ap-
portionment made at the recent session Of
the legislature, and this renders it almost
impossible for the Republicans to win in the
legislative fight"
Whom Will the Democrats send to Wash
ington in place of Senator Sawyer?'' asked
the reporter.
''Oh, it is too early to discuss that" said
the Chippewa Falls sta tesman. 1--WE have a
whole host of good men, any one of whom
would make good senator. Col. knight, of
Ashland; Gen. E. s. Bragg Hon. John Win
ans of GalesviIle, and John A. johnson, of
Milwaukee, are some of the names men
toned, although the list is by 10 means COM
plete. There will be no difficulty on this
score, can assure YOU
il
what effect will the suits against the
former state treasurers for the recovery of
money received by them as interest on state
moneys have on the Republican party, and
how will these suits terminate?'
Il think the state will win in those cases,
and at least 100000 be turned back into the
state treasury" answered the Badger seere-
-tary of state. ''Of course such proceedin g
will not help the party which sanctioned. as
il were, the acts of these treasurers. The
history of these cases Will make excellent
campaign material, at least"

rooms. because there is 10 law to enforce in
that direction. When | was il the senate
two years ago, a bill was introduc d by the
present lieutenant governor, who was then
a senator, which provided for closing the
pool rooms. The BILL 1 am informed,
was prepared by Senator Dean, who, at that
time, was not in the senate. | introduced a
substitute which allowed the selling of pools,
but fixed heavy penalty for selling pools to
minors. Mr.. Ives and myself could not agree
upon mutual bill, and the result was that
both bills were defeated. Mr. Dean sue
ceeded me in the senate, and during the last
session he had every opportunity to intro
duce a bill against the pool rooms. The

And yet it has not been. There has
never been q time WIZ man or a
woman could not 90 down our streets at
any hour of the day or night without
absolute freedom from fear OF insult or
molestation. There has never been a
time when property has not been
entirely safe from molestation. Burg
larieS are so rare that whoever reads the
newspapers can give the full list of
them for the past decade without taxing
his memory. Even the petty sins of
shOplifting and sneak thieving are prac-
tically unknown. Crowds of immigrants
come here unfamiliar with the ways of
the world, and yet confidence men have
never made this city their home or field
of operation. There are no drunken
wretches seen Keeling about as in other
places. The press would be eager to
report stories of outraged female virtue,
of seductions and of abductions, but, if
they want to do this, they have to draw
on the kilograms from abroad, and not
on what their employees can see on the
streets. The great pecuniary interests
which are centered here go on without
defalcations, breaches of trust or embez-
elements. There are no deeds of vio-
lence worth recording. The courts of
a Massachusetts, or Connecticut village
hear ten divorce suits filled with scan
dial and shame to one that comes before
our district bench. The bar of this city
does not include half dozen LAWYERS
who pay any attention at all to crimi-
nal business, and the calendars in our
criminal courts are so absurdly small
and unimportant that two attorneys
could not make living if they had
monopoly of the terms work. The
sublimest types of womanly virtue fill
the homes of st. Paul, and the breath of
even suspicion does not come near
them. The prevailing and predomi-
mating tone in the business community
