Ripon. Wis, was the place, March 20, 1854,
the time, and Mr.. A. e. Bovay the man
who devised the name.
The Kansas Nebraska act was not passed,
but it was plain that it soon would be, and
all the northern states were in ferment.
The popular mind had settled down to the
belief that the Missouri compromise of
1901 was sacred compact, even less liza
BILE to change or repeal than the constitu
ton itself The Wing party had been de-
stroyed, as one might say, by the election
of 1859, and only the Abolitionists main
tanned any formidable opposition to the
compromise measures. But all the Adolf
tionists, nearly all the Wings and large
part of the Democrats earnestly opposed
the repeal of the compromise and reopen
ing of the slavery issue.
A call was published in the Ripon Her
aid, signed by fifty-four citizens, of all par
ties, and a meeting was held in the school
house. There was a hard struggle. Old
Wings hated to give up the old party
name, and old Democrats hated to affili-
ate with old Wings, but the thing was
done at last and the name Republican,
suggested Dy MT. bOVdy, was duOpttu IL
was wise suggestion. The Democrats
have always gained much strength by
their name. 1t means something definite
and plain to common minds. 'Federalist"
had long been odious, and to Americans
generally "Whig" was meaningless. Re
publican" had had definite and tolerably
uniform meaning for $500 years, and was
the hcnored title of the party which over
threw the Federalists in 1900 and ruled the
United States for twenty-four years.
The principal organizers were A. E.
Bovay, Jedediah Bowen, A. Lopez, A.
Thomas and J. Woodruff, three Wings.

Free Soiler. These were the committee,
but Mr.. Bovay was the active man. He

IL, 1918, was graduated from Norwich (Vt.)
university in lS41, and located in Ripon in
1850. He was teacher, lawyer and finally
soldier, attaining the rank of major in the
war for the union. From Ripon the
organization was extended through Wis
consin and northern Illinois, and on July
8, 1854, meeting of representative men at
the fremont House, Chicago, formally
adopted the name.

oh. No. He Wasn't Afraid.

This particular boy has just come to
Detroit to live, and he went to the high
school for preliminary examination,
and he went along with just note of
introduction from his mother. You
know a boy at fourteen is usually all
arms and all legs and self suficiency,
and this one was no exception to the
rule. He wasn't troubled with any
doubts about his studies, but his mother
was. She took the role of the figurative
hen who futters ON the brink when her
ducklings go in to swim.
Well, when the duckling came home
he staggered in and told his family in
an offhand manner that it was all right,
you know. Then his mother quizZed
him as to details, and asked him if he
didn't feel badly about going there alone,
and when he said no to that she ex-
pressed her surprise, and then her Scion

a POOR SPECIMEN OF A JUDGE.


He Was Cross Eyed and Red Headed and
the Yankee Was Astontshed.
No man in the state had keener ap-
probation of humor than the late Judge
T. Lisle Dickie, who served many years
as circuit judge before being elevated
to the supreme bench of the state. Al
though he had rich fund of anecdotal
lore concerning the prominent members
of the Illinois bar, he never related
good story of any of his fellow lawyers
with keener relish than the following in
cident of which he was the hero. 1t is
necessary to full appreciation of the
story that the reader should be reminded
that Judge Dickie was cross eyed to an
intricate and marvellous degree, and also
gifted with brilliantly red hair.
The story is as follows:
81 had been out shooting prairie chick
ems down below Ottawa, and was return
ing home on the public road along in
the afternoon. 1t was hot and l had
already tramped far enough to get thor
oughly tired out, and, as it was several
miles to town, was anxious to catch a
ride. The first team that came along
was lightning rod outfit.
Friend, can you take passenger
said |.
HE looked at me suspiciously. Per-
haps looked even more cross eyed than
usual without my store clothes on-at
any rate he seemed, at first, of mind
to drive on without me. But he finally
stopped his wagon and condescendingly
remarked:
eyes; you can pie on back there,
top of the rods and ladders
"I gratefully accepted that privilege
and we rode on in silence until we
reached wayside watering trough.
The man dismounted, unlocked pail
from beneath the wagon, and proceeded
to water his horses. Meantime the pro-
prietor of the premises came out to fill
his own pail. He knew me we'll and
said:
"'How d do, judge. What luck have
you had shooting?
''As the word Judge fell from his
lips noticed look of establishment on
the face of the Yankee lightning rod
man. The fellow was bolstering up the
pail of water with his knee to height
from which his horse could drink with
out unchecking, and his establishment
was so great that he let his knee slip out
from under the pail and splashed the
front of his clothes
Didn't that Teller back there at the
waterin trough call you judgeY inquired
the Yankee. as soon as we had started
on.

"'What be you judge of, boss race.
he exclaimed, turning back to take a
second contemptuous inventory Of my
personal charms
"'No; judge of court 1 replied.

Lifting the hickory stick of his drov-
er's whip he sent its long rawhide lash
twirling in succession of coils above
his head, which eliminated in a crack
like the explosion of a pistol.
"My goodness! I'll settle in this
country myself if they make such man
as you judger exclaimed the disguised
Yankee. 1t was his final dictum. He
did not offer to exchange another word

With youth, beauty, rank and immense

cause of their poverty.
