THE DOUBTFUL VOTE.
Western Democrats Working for
Branch Northwestern Head
quarters at Chicago.
Ex-Secretary Whitney Opposes
the Plan, and Is Supported
by a Majority.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE campaign
committee of the National Democratic
committee met at the national head
quarters today in pursuance of call
issued by Chairman Dickinson. A
quorum was secured, but Mr.. Dickinson
himself was unable to be present, hav-
ing been taken ill at Bay Ridge last
night.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Harrity, who presided. The entire
day was taken up in preliminary dis
cnssion Of the situation, no action being
taken OH anything. The most interest
ing matter brought to the atten-
ton of the committee was the
question of locating branch
headquarters for the Northwest in
Chicago. Washington Hesing, who.
with delegation of Chicago gentle
men, appeared before the national COM
mlttee some time ago. and also had
conference with Mr.. Cleveland OIL the
subject. again brought the matter I'D.
MIR: Whitney was opposed to the idea,
and is still said 10 oppose it, and
majority of the committee were
with him. Mr.. Hesing, however, related
sion on the committee. "We in the
West" said he, especially in Illinois
and Wisconsin, are not only of the firm
belief, but of the honest conviction.
that these two states which here
tofore have been classed as absolutely
secure in the Republican column, are
now not only doubtful, but are in the
anti-Republican column. 1 desire to be
distinctly understood that those states
are not Democratic in that sense of the
word that they CAN, for all future times,
be counted as being allied to and part
of the Democratic party. In these
two states it is simply fight of princi-
pie, and not fight of men. The Ger
man vote in these two states holds the
balance of power. What applies to
Illinois and Wisconsin applies, of
course. in measure, to Michigan,
Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana"

PEARL BUTTONS.

The New York Fress, founded and
conducted in the interests of tai
iff-made pIutocracy, inflicted on its
readers more than usually elaborate
political cartoon last Sunday morning.
The Indiana brigadier is represented
in majestic attitude. standing on Co.
lumbia's shores beside an upright
sword twice his size and bearing the

mel, on the edge of Europe, stand the
representatives of various nations, bear

ON. But the product which looms
UP most prominently is pearl but
tots. made by convict. labor" Both
France and Austria are bearing
big boxes of these essentials to COM
plete wardrobe, and evidently the Press
considers the pearl button feature the
strong point of its cartoon. No convict
made pearl buttons can be imported
into this country while BEN and his
sword are on guard says the Press.
Not much. Well wear our own Amer
ican-made pearl buttons or our shirts
shall go buttonless. The Press has
made up its mind to that.
would be if buttons of domestic manu-
facture were alone obtainable. But
Notwithstanding the enormous tariff i'm
post put on pearl buttons by the Nc
kINIEY bill. all but an insignificant
fraction of the pearl buttons we use in
this country are imported, for the SIM
pie reason that the supply manufactured
in this country in ayear wouldn't last us
week. Every man who buys a shirt, or
whose wife buys the buttons she sews
on his shirt. pays a tariff tax to protect
pearl button industry which-and
herein consists the peculiar atrocity of
this imposition-which is manned by
convict labor. 1t is fact. Brigadier
BENJAMIN and his big sword are hold
ing out against the convict-made pearl
buttons of other countries for the pur-
pose of fostering the cOnvict-labor
pearl-button industry in this country.
In the Southern Illinois penitentiary
at Chester is our chief pearl button
factory, managed by company of
German capitalists. Convicts do the
work. the American consumers pay the
legitimate price, plus the tariff tax, and
both the legitimate and the tariff profit
20 to the German capitalists.
The fewer pearl bnttons the Press
works into its cartoons. the fewer "un-
fortunate illusions" will be checked
up against it by its monopolistic
niaSterS.

THE BADGER LAMBS,
Spooner Heads the List Destined
for SLAUGHTER.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. II. = Ex-
United States Senator Spooner, of Hud-
son, and John G. Koch, of Milwaukee,
were todoy nominated by reclamation,
the former for governor and the latter
for lieutenant governor, amidst the
greatest enthusiasm. Senator Spooner
yesterday announced his willingness 10
accept the nomination. He reiterated
his statement that he was not candi-
date for the place; that he did not de-
sire it, but that he felt that when
party had honOred a man as it had hon.
Ored him. its wish, when clearly ex-
pressed by nominating convention,
should come to him as command
Statements made to him by delegates
compelled him, he said, to say that much
in justice to himself, so that his position
might not be misunderstood.
The announcement that Mr.. Spooner
would take the nomination was received
with great satisfaction by the majority
of the delegates on hand. Most of the
candidates for the place immediat ely
announced that they would withdraw
from the contest.
T. w. Jackson, of Shawnee, was nOm-
mated for secretary of state by major
ity of Ill over o. l.. RoSenkranS. of
Oconomownoc; Attorney Peterson, of
Crawford, was nominated for treasurer
by reclamation.
w. Ii. Chandler, of Dane, for superin-
tendent OF public instruction; j. d.
Bullock, of Jefferson, railroad commits
sioner, and J. E. Heg. of Lake Geneva,
for insurance commissioner.
The platform adopted approves the
Minneapolis platform, denounces the
proposition of the Democratic ma
tional platform to repeal the tax
levied on the circulation of
state banks; denounces as without
foundation the statement often reiter-
ated by the Democratic press that Re-
publican success in this state involves
the surrender or compromise of what
ever legal rights the courts may hold to
exist in favor of the state upon the
bonds of eXstate treasurers and prom
ises to enforce the legal rights of the
people; approves the administration of
President Harrison; reaffirms and in
dorses the Republican declaration upon
the educational question as fully de-
filming the position of the Republican
party of the state upon the subject,

AS TO CONGRESSMAN BRECK:
INRIDGE

To the crecit of a portion of Chcago's
press lie it said that it broad mindediy

is, by his vote in congress against the
worlds fair appropriation, disqualified
from adhering 10 his acceptance of the
Invitation to deliver the worlds fair
Gedicatory address. The Times espe-
cially combats the idea that Mr.. BREcK-
INRDGE's conscientious opposition to
the appropriation disQualifies him for
the honorable service to which he had
been called; but the Inter Ocean, COLI
sistently narrow, bigoted and vindictive,
adopts an exactly contrary tone. "In
view of the gentlemen's attitude" says
the Inter Ocean,
IN congress on the appropriation bill. il
appears that the proper thing for him TO do
is to at once recall his acceptance. and in its
place forward his declination, thus relieving

esteemS as anything but harmonious

opposition Oh constitutional grounds to

form in Great Britaln's domestic affairs

he has chosen the least radical leaders
OF the Liberal party. Against the ex-

measure he sets up the extreme caution
and conservatism of the old and tried

BOTH SIDES RESTING.
An Ominous Calm Prevailing at
SaYre.

ELMIRA, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE situa-
ton at Sayre today was practically UNI
changed from that Of yesterday. Both
strikers and railway officials remain
passive, but there is feeling that an
effort will be made during the next
twenty-four hours to move trains. 1t
was currently reported in that borough
this morning that the sheriff had sum-
moned another force of deputies and
would attempt to take possession of the
property. He has not arrived, however,
and nothing definite concerning his ac-
lions could be learned. Supt. Stephen
son stated that the company proposes
to raise the blockade at Sayre if it takes
the entire militia to do it. This remark
gives color to the rumor that if the next
attempt of the sheriff and his deputies
to take possession fails, the militia will
be called out.
1t was also reported that a carload of
''Scabs" would arrive i'll Sayre today to
take the places of the striking switch
men. A delegation of the strikers Wis
tied all the boarding houses in the bor-
Ough this morning and requested the
proprietors to refuse to board any scabs.
1t is said the boarding house keepers
promised the men to accede to their
wishes. The feeling of all railway men
i'll Sayre is SO strongly with the strikers
that it IS doubtful il any Of them would
consent to work with Scab Switchmen.

HUDSON. Wis.,, Aug. 1.-THE nomi-
nation OF Senator John c. Spooner, of

lican state convention at Milwaukee TO-
day was most tittingly celebrated in
this city by every man, woman and
child. irrespective Of politics. Imme.
diately upon receipt of tine news flags

forth its ponderous notes from Liberty
hill. Under the direction OF Mayor Will

light professions paraded the streets,

mantfests the high esteem in which the

he would not have consented to become
its dedcatory orator. But he, in COM
mon with other honest men and good
lawyers, considered an appropriation
for such purpose as the worlds fair
unconstitutional and inadmissible. and
he voted accordingly. To argue that he
should have acted otherwise .thanet thus
in accordance with his conscientious
convictions is to ague that in his ac-
ceptance of the invitation to act as ded-
icatOry orator he made his manhood,
honor, reputation and character sub
servient to Chicago's selfish interests.
Chicago and the worlds fair should
both be superior to the considerations
of narrow spitefulness which influence
the Inter Ocean in this matter.

RECORDS SMASHED.

SARNIA, Ont. Aug. 1.-THE Sarnia
bicycle meet today, held in the Athletic
grounds at Bellevlew, was attended by
the largest crowd ever seen here.
The grand feature OF the meet was
the work of Zimmerman, who smashed
no less than three Canadian records.
Sanger, of Milwaukee, was also we'll re-
ceived. and lie broke the Canadian
record in the quarter mile flying start.
Zimmerman, scratch, passed all
hands but Sanger, of Milwau ee.
at twenty yards, and for the
last 100 yards the race was very
exciting. Zimmerman made a terrific
burst of speed, but could not overcome
his handicap, Sanger coming in ahead
by about yard and half. Time,
l:07 3-5 for the winner and 1907 4-5 for
Zimmerman. who thus lowered the Can
adam record CD the second.

MIR. ROGERS, WITHDRAWAL.

The withdrawal of Mr.. ROGERS from
the list of aspirants for the Republican
congressional nomination must be re-
ceived with regret by all good citizens.
The GLOBE does not believe that. even
had he received the nomination, he
could have been elected, but the uncer-
tainties of politics are such that it is inn
portant to have both parties enter good
men into the race. Mr.. ROGERS is a
citizen of high character, personal
attractiveness. independent means,
vigorous methods. courageous. fair
minded and courteous. Had he
succeeded in his ambition he would
have made an admirable repre-
sentative of this district. and aside, fro m
party considerations, there would have
been every reason for congratulation at
the outcome. The Republicans have
lost strong man when they thrust
aside Mr.. ROGERS.
As matters now stand, Col. KIEFER
will be named by the Republicans for
this important Office, which ought to in
sure the return of Mr. CASTLE. Col.
KIEFER has absolutely none OF
the. qualifications needed in con-
gresham from Ramsey county. and
it almost passes belief that his
party should be so false to the
responsibilities imposed Oh it as to seri-
ously think of him in this connection.
This paper is not inclined to speak
slightingly of any reputable citizen.
and is willing to admit that Col. KIEFER
has many noble traits. But he cannot
talk the English language, nor has he
the remotest acquaintance with the
great problems which await solution in
our national legislature. His nomina-
ton for such post will have all the
characteristics of farce.
st. Paul will be properly represented
in the Fifty-third congress- but it will
be by Democrat.

When the proposed assault on Camp
Anderson is made tonight they will

this: We can run this road now, this

The state of New York must do that at

for men. All we want is soldiers to
prevent the men being killed or injured
