A MODEL ADMINISTRATION.

The present administration is
daily demonstrating its ability to
meet the emergencies of the times
and dispose satisfactorily every
question arising in such a business
manner as to advance national in
terests and command the respect
Of the world, says the Hub. It
has not been only clean, but patri-
otto as we'll. 1t is an admins
tration of large capacity. Its
business energy has been the most
pronounced of any administration
in the history Of the republic. In
this respect it represents the genius
of the people. 1t moves with
them and for them in developing
and sustaining the highest expec-
tations in our national life. It's
achievements make a record which,
as it appears on the pages of his
tory, will mark one of the bright
est eras in the history Of the re-
public. 1t will be known as the
golden era of true Americanism
and will be an inspiration to good
citizenship in all the years tc
come.

COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Republican county conven-

in this city Friday afternoon at one
o'clock. 1t was called to orderb Y
the chairman of the county COM
mittee and on motion organized
by the election of Geo. r. Gard
ner chairman and Geo. Smith
secretary. A large delegation
from Marshfeld was present but
many of the towns were repre-
sented by proxies. 1t was gener-
ally conceded that Col. w. H.
Upham, candidate for Governor,
could select the delegates to the
State convention, which he did as
follows: J. D. Witter, J. w. Cam
eron, w. D. Connor and F. A.
Cady. They were elected. The
following gentlemen were elected
as delegates to the congressional
convention: Geo. R. Gardner, F.
J. Wood, G. J. Jackson and VIM.
Noll. Any one Of either dele
CATION was empowered to cast the
full vote of the delegation in case
of the absence of any delegate.
Col. w. H. Upham was called
upon for a few remarks and re-
sponded in very pleasing man
ner. He appreciated the courtesy
shown him in allowing him to
select his own delegates. If sue
cessful in obtaining the nomination
for Governor he promised his most
faithful energies in securing his
election.

ANOTHER EXTRASESSION.

The decision in the Michigan
gerrymander case covers exactly
one of the points raised against
the second gerrymander perpetrat-
ed by the legislature of Messrs.
Villas and Wall. The Michigan
gerrymander grossly disregarded
the constitutional requirement that
districts shall be as nearly equal
in population as practicable. The
Michigan court refers to eight
senatorial districts created by
the act of the Democratic legis-
lature containing population rang
ing from $3.50 to 1880, while
eight other senatorial districts con-
tanned population ranging only
from 59,737 to 5000. Comment
ing on these facts, the court says
it was never contemplated that one
eleCtor should possess two or three
times more influence in the person
of representative. or senator than
another elector in another district.
Equality in such matters lies at
the basis of our free government"
Of course the districts with the
large populations were Republican;
the small districts Democratic.
In this way it was expected to
give a minority of voters control
Of the legislature of the state.
The apportionment act passed
at the extra session of the legis-
lature of Messrs. Villas and Wall
was fashioned upon the Michigan
plan. Great disparity exists be-
tween the population of the dis
tricts created by it, where approx
mate equality could have been
easily secured. The districts made
by it also violate the requirement
Of the constitution with respect to
compactness. They are carved
out in all manner of fantastic
shapes for no other reason than to
give a Democratic minority the
power to defeat a Republican ma
jority. The act is in fragrant VIC
lation of the requirements of the
constitution and will doubtless be
SO adjudged by the Supreme court
of this state. The question is to
be brought before the court at its
next meeting, which is on the 9th
of August, and will doubtless be
decided in the course of a few
weeks. 1t is therefore to be ex-
pected that the people of this state
will witness the unusual spectacle
of a second extraordinary session
of the legislature held in the same
year on account of the insuperable
proclivity to rascality of the Demo-
cratic managers in this state. It's
members may perhaps begin to
distrust the "smartness" of the
political sharpers who have used
them as their tools, and conclude
to make an apportionment them
selves instead of accepting the
handiwork provided for them by
those who have hitherto assumed
to direct their action.-Jlzl70aukee

president Harrison will I'M
doubtedly be reelected unless
some egregious blunders are made
in the campaign, and I hardly
think there is any danger Of that, "
was the confident prediction made
by Senator Quay. He spoke
highly Of Chairman Carter and
said: "President Harrison, | be-
lieve, will carry every State that
cast its electoral vote for him four
years ago. He will also have the
support Of all states that have been
admitted to the Union since his
election. In addition to these he
will carry West Virginia, that went
by very narrow margin for the
Democratic candidates in 1888. |
don't think we need ask more than
that"

SOME MEASURES OF THE REPUB=
LICAN PARTY.

LtSftIN AN i K.
The Republican party has had
control of national legislation for
the last thirty-one years and is
responsible for every act which
has gone upon the statute books
during that period. 1t is true
there have been periods when it
has lost control of the House, and
there have been two Democratic
Presidents-Johnson and Cleve-
land-but the Senate has remained
a solid stone wall to protect the
liberties Of the people.
Under this legislation the
country has doubled in population
and quadrupled in wealth. When
the details of the last census come
to be unfolded to the world they
will demonstrate that in all the
elements Of national greatness
in the extent Of its agricultural,
manufacturing and mining interests
in the diversity Of its produc-
tions-in its vast system Of
internal transportation-and in the
general diffusion Of wealth
amongst its population the total
exceeds in volume not only that
of any other present country, but
of any country known to history.
Let us briefly refer to some of
those measures which have COM
bined to produce such a result.
THE NATIONAL CURRENCY.
The war for the Union against
Democratic conspirators was
begun on specie basis. When
the resources Of the Treasury
were exhausted and SI5O,oOo,Ooo
in gold had been borrowed of the
banks, exhausting them necessity
compelled the issue Of 'greenbacks'
in 1862. In June 1864 the
national banking act was passed
making government bonds the
basis of currency circulation,
driving out the state issues by the
imposition Of a tax Of 10 per
cent. Previous to that time the
country was flooded with every
description of worthless and ire
deemable paper money. 1t is
within the experience Of many
who read these lines that it was
impossible to say, from day to
day, whether the paper money
which had been received in pay
ment Of debts, Or for commodities
sold was worth anything Or not.
Merchants stood with "Thomp-
sons Bank Note Reporter" in one
hand, scanning a "shinplaster" in
the other doubtful about the risk
Of taking it or not. This State
was cursed, amongst others, with
a worthless lot of "red dog" and
wild ca" banks located in
unknown and inaccessible places
and so it was all over the
country. The National Banking
Act changed all that. It gave us
a currency SO uniform in value
that we do not even examine
where the bank is located
whether in Maine or Texas, in
Wisconsin or ->lorida-it is receiv-
ed without question or comment
No man has ever lost one penny
| by reason Of failure of the bank
issuing the note he held. The u
! S. Government was the endorsel
and fully protected the holder
! We believe this safe and stable
currency has contributed as mncE
perhaps more than any other
one cause to the prosperity of the
country. Yet, the National Bank.
ing Act was strenuously opposed
by the Democratic party-it

plotting out state rights I'm

continue to have the Jealous
support of the Republican party
is simply this: It gives to the
citizens of the United States the
entire control of our home mar
kets; it builds up and maintains
every home industry to the end
that we may become independent
of all the world by manufacturing
our own fabrics rather than buy
ing them abroad, and by the
activity of its manufactures and
productions, operating under the
invariable law Of supply and
demand, furnishes profitable en-
ployment for labor.

NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR.

The Republican party is the
party of human progress. II
boasts of no traditions. It has no
followers, for all are leaders. II
has given the world the best
government ever administered
among men. 1t has exhalted
labor dignifed the home and made
the waste places to produce plenty
In the track of its marches are
seen a million factories, surround
ed by happy and prosperous
agriculture communities. It is
the party of honest money and
fair equivalents. 1t permits its
citizens to be free and contends
for equal advantages before the
law of all men. It declares to
the children of the rich and the
children Of the poor that the child
Of any American citizen can
achieve anything possible in this
great country.
