The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic county convention
held at Jefferson Saturday was presid-
ed over by Commissioner r. B. Kirk
land, O. F. Roessler being secretary.
| The convention had to settle con-
testing delegation case between Mr..
Kirkland and O. j. Kerschensteiner, a
fierce and bitter fight having been
waged between the two for the mastery,
which by no means proves that every
thing is lovely or harmonious among
the Democratic brethren of Jefferson.
1t was drawn battle, both of the con-
testants being admitted to the conven-
ton with delegate powers.
The following delegates to the state
convention were elected: P. E. Hoag,
Waterloo; H. G. Christians, Johnson's
Creek; R. B. Kirkland, Jefferson; 0. j.
Kerschensteiner, Jefferson W. H.
Rogers, Fort Atkinson; W. HI. Rohr,
M. Blumenfeld, c. HI. jacob, Water
town. The delegates were instructed
for Cleveland as long as his name is be-
fore the convention.
The convention got it's work in on
Congressman Rabbit, in the form of
the following resolution:
Resolved, That our representative in
congress, Clinton Babbitt in voting
against the indefinite postponement of
the Silver bill and against the Springer
Free Wool measure did not voice the
sentiments of the people who elected
him to that important trust.
The convention adopted resolution
calling the Mckinley tariff law crime
and conspiracy towards the farmers
and workingmen of America, favoring
honest money and opposing the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. But
the convention lodged the main point
and had no criticism to make on the
cowardice of the Democratic congress
in not taking a single step towards the
repeal Of the Mckinley bill. The pres
ent Democratic congress was elected
for the avowed purpose of knocking
known to them as the Mckinley bill, |
and every Democratic stump speaker
promised the people that this should |
be done, while every Democrat run
ming for congress last fall pledged his
word and sacred honor that he would |
move for the humiliation of the mon
IL Low, toy hnf h
in the House of Representatives was
warm. Five months, however, have |
elapsed and no bill has been offered to |
repeal the Mckinley tariff. A little |
squirt has been made, to be sure, in the
direction Of a dig at the farmers by an
attempt so place wool on the free list |
and thereby clean out the sheep past |
ures of this and every other sheep
raising locality in the United States.
But Babbitt protested against having
the wool pulled over his eyes or in
being forced to endorse a measure that
would destroy the sheep industry of
this country for the benefit of the sheep
raisers in Australia and other foreign
parts.
The cavilers in the convention seem
ed to have full sway and were out of
tune with their party, in evidence Of
which see their action on silver. They
oppose free coinage, while the Demo
cratic party in congress is in favor of
free and unlimited silver coinage by
more than two to one. The Cleveland
ers had the convention by the gills and
no Hill man dared to peep, although
we learn their were some Hill mani
festations after the convention adj
journed.

A number OF years since we purchased q
small farm which had been poorly farmed
for many years, the few last years the hay
being sold and nothing returned. As q
general conseq uence we could not cut
more than six to ten hundred OF hay per
acre. As we bought mostly on credit
we had no means to purchase fertilizers
and must look to the coil for resources Tor
improvement. We commenced by turn
ing over the sod early in the fall and pull
verifying thoroughly in the spring. and re
seeded the second year. In going over the
land the second time we re seeded the
third year. BY this method we more than
doubled our hay crop. While improving
