telegram from New York last week, stat
ed that the Republicans of Wisconsin and
Illinois had decided to abandon their State
tickets in the interests Of the Republican elect
oral ticket. When Secretary of Agriculture
Rusk's attention was called to this statement,
he said it WAS absolutely false and was manu-
positively for the Republicans of Wisconsin
when say that they are thoroughly united as
to the election OF Sema ter Spooner and the other
nominees for State offices. They have superb
ticket and there is no question in my mind
bnt that 1t will be elected and that the Repub-
lican electors will also receive a handsome
majority. The same condition of affairs exists
in Illinois. The Republicans are united and
will win on both National and State tickets.
ctafa in no tnh
improbable that hardly believe anyone would
give it serious attention"
The Republican National League met in
Buffalo last week aud held most enthusiastic
sessions. President Clarkson's address was
largely devoted to tho organization and progress
Of the League and its work as a new element
in politics. Among other things he said The
rising question of the time, in my judgment,
the one on which the next National campaign
is sure to be fought. is the labor question. By
that time the Mckinley bill will have fully
demonstrated the wisdom of the American
policy and will have gained the approval of a
majority of American homes AS a permanent
policy OF the Republic. Next November the
workingmen and farmers and business men
and all elements will join in striking down
the declaration of the Democratic platform of
1892 in favor of free trade as the American
rule and free trade wages for American work
ingmen. The same good elements, am sure,
will strike down with emphasis Of disapproval
the Democratic declaration in favor OF destroy
ing our present system of currency and finance
for a return to the wretched and disastrous
form of State banks and unsound currency.
Practicable enactment by Congress would
remove nearly the whole body and carcass of
the spoils system from politics. First, tenure
Of Office fixed by law, giving certain term
four or six years-to every oftice-hOlder or
clerk to be renewed when deserved, the same
as the people themselves renew the terms Of
their faithful and efficient servants; and, Sec
ond, an act to empower the people to elect their
own postmasters as they always should have
done. All other reforms actually demanded
the Republican party and the League are
ready to help secure"
Gov Mckinley, J. p. Doliver. J. Sloat Fas-
sett, John n. Thnrston, Wiiitelaw Reid, and
others addressed the meetings. James S. Clark
son was reelected President, and the next meet
Ing place will be Louisville. The National
Women's Republican Association aud the
American Republican College League were also
in session at the same time. monster parade
of the League took place Oh the last day.
Chairman Harrity and Don M. Dickinson,
respectively Chairmen Democratic Committee
and Campaign Committee, issued most con.
gratulatory circular to the people of the
gains in the recent elections in Maine Vermont,
and Arkansas. The circular concludes:
with every favoring force at their COM
mand except public opinion, with no organiza-
tion opposed save those made up within the
States by a minority party which has been out
Of power for generation, and which was un-
aided from without, the canpaign of our
adversaries for triumphant test vote in these
States, SO carefully planned and SO thoroughly
and forcibly executed, has ended i'll conspic-
nous disaster.
"Our friends are everywhere entitled to
take fresh courage from these results. They
mean that the strong tendency of public sent
iment is with the Democracy, and that the
people of the country are prepared to enforce,
rather than reverse, the verdict which they
rendered in 1890"
The campaign In Michigan although fairly
opcn is not marked by any excitemaDt and
very little interest is manifest In the cities
clubs are being organ ICED and occasional meet
ings are held, but politics does no: interfere
with business. The Reprbiicau Convention to
nominate candidate for Justice of the Su.
preme Court to succeed Judge 4. 3. Morse
resigned, will! take place Sept. ~. The Dem
ocrats will meet for the same purpose Oct A.
