WISCONSIN EDITORS.
They Will Hold Tier Winter
Meeting IN Uausau.

President Hegg, of the State Editorial
association, members Of the Executive
committee and some other members of
the association, met at the Plankinton
house in Milwaukee Friday the 18th
inst. to decide upon the place of
holding the winter meeting of the
association. There were about fifteen
editors present including besides
President Heg, Secretary Coon, I. B.
Reid, of Appleton; A. J. Dodge, of
Madison; R. H. Johnson, of Wausau;
c. W. Bowron, of Oshkosh; H. NJ.
Youmans, of Waukesha; Edwin Hurl-
but, Of Oconomowoc; E. D. Cox, of
Whitewater; r. H. Park, of Elkhorn;
E. and D. Decker, Green Bay.
1t was evident that the majority Of
those present were in favor of Wausau,
the invitation from which city was
strongly presented by Mr.. Johnson, of
The Central Wisconsin, and seconded
by T. B. Reid. Mr.. Bowron and Mr..
1oumans were prepared to extend
cordial invitations from Oshkosh and
Waukesha, but after an informal ballot
had shown that the sentiment was
strongly in favor of going to Northern
Wisconsin, where the association had
never met, they gracefully declined to
push their. claims, and Mr.. Johnson
had won the day. During the recent
trip of the editors to Atlanta he had
conceived the idea of bringing the
been working to that end. When they
met at the Plankinton house Friday, he
| found that his work had borne fruit
The time of the meeting was left to
| President Heg and the Wausau
committee TO determine.
