MADISON, Wis, July 20 The assem-

crowded today as they have mover
been crowded before, and as they are
never likely to be crowded again. The

added its quota to the motley crowd,

before. Every color In the political
rainbow is represented, and every

Exit 81 Nv.

Henry NJ. Stanlor Mas had as lively
a time in his race .fpr Parliament as
he ever had in fortbhg his unwelcome
way across AfricnA territory against
the vigorous prdtxets Of natives who
naturally object6d to his lawless in
vasion Of their& pmes. Many of the
electors of Moth Lambeth clearly
did not like hJni or his pretensicns,
and when sppaking he vas often in
tcrrupted ssyith such questions as:
"How mfhy niggers did you kill In
Africay" "Who hired you to conduct
your marauding expeditions against
Innocent people, and for what pur-
poser" "Who killed King COTE 2"
Where are You from, anyway" etc.
In his political venture Stanley has
all along seemed aware OF the fate i'm
store for him. Boys daily reared
after his carriage and yelled after
him. The workingmen Of Lambeth
have shown him little consideration,
and have exhibited an embarrassing
familiarity with his exploits in
Africa, where, according to his books,
he INDUCED in a very large amount Of
promiscuous shooting of i~noifensiye
"niggers," appropriate enough, no
doubt, to his character OF traveller
and explorer, but hardly in keeping
with his attitude before the radical
electors OF Lambeth as Il human
tartan who has conferred the bless.
ings of civilization upon the dark con
tinent. With a Bible in one hand
and a Winchester rifle in the other,
his self-recorded piety and heroism in
wiping out "niggers" and their homes
have clearly not made a favorable i'm
preston upon the workingmen Of
Lambeth.
Stanley posing as a aristocrat and
attempting to break into Parliament
is'one Of the absurdities OF the politi-
cal world. That he should be de-
feated is perfectly natural.
