Mr.. BLAINE's MISFORTUNE.

Mrs. Flora Ginty, of Chippewa
Falls, one of the model women of
our times in an editorial in her
paper has the following to say of
Mr.. Blaine's misfortunes:
'All who have within them the
tender heart of sympathy for those
who suffer, sincerely trust that
Fate has no more sorrows in store
for James G. Blaine. Truly, if a
dark cloud has ever hung over
any man and his family, it has
hung over Mr.. Blaine for the past
few years. In that time he has
been called upon to suffer the loss
of three children by death; one
daughter, and two sons. The last
OF these to pass away was
Emmons Blaine, who died at
Chicago last week. A young
man of great promise and ability,
who was making for himself a
place in the world, and about
whom many fond hopes of his old
father clustered. And added to
these is the scandal connected
with the marriage and divorce of
James G. Blaine, Jr., into which
the father and family seemed
unnecessarily drawn; a scandal
which has brought to the home of
the great man more of sorrow and
of bitterness than death could
have done. Is it any wonder if
his white head is bowed down in
grief, and if at times Fate seems
cruel to him? He has had much
Of honor bestowed upon him, but
what he most needs now is SYM
pathy, love and comfort. No
man is too great to need these.
All will give them.

Before Starting on a Journey.

A person usually desires to gain some
information as to the most desirable
route to take and will purchase tickets
via the one that will afford him the
quickest and best service. If you con-
template trip to or from Milwaukee,
Chicago and points East and South, and
Ashland, Duluth, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and points North and West, you should
provide yourself with map and time
table of the Wisconsin Central lines.
The trains run on this route are vesti-
buled and are equipped with Pullman's
latest Drawing Room Sleepers, elegant
day coaches and dining cars of latest
design, convenient and comfortable in
arrangement and so complete in every
detail that they have no superior in
comfort and elegance. For tickets,
time tables, berth reservations, ETC., APP

4 KICKER HEARD FROM.

You think the national demo
cratic convention made mistake
in the choice of candidates, and /
think it made greater mistake in
the choice of tariff planks. The
O'Niel-Watterson resolution is no
more satisfactory to this country
than the Mckinley act, and in
practical operation would be in
finitely worse. The convention
should have adopted the resolu-
tons. If this country had followed
tor the past twenty-five years the
principles of the platform adobted
at Chicago on the tariff it would
to-day be owing two and hall
billions of dollars of war debt, and
to-day be paying one-armed and
one-legged soldiers pensions Of
eight dollars a month.
There are some democrats in
in this country who agree with
the general principles of the demo
cratic party and oppose force bills,
but who are not free traders and
do not believe that protective
tariff is fraud. No doubt some
enthusiast is now eager to yell,
go over to the republicans where
you belong" To him it is only
necessary to say such advice is
not necessary. The nation told
the democratic party and Mr.
Cleveland four years ago that
protection to our own people is
not fraud. If the general pros
perity of our people during the
past four years has convinced the

Villas AS 4 sTRADDLER.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Senator
Villas and the Wisconsin dele
cation in the late Democratic con-
vention must have experienced a
change of heart regarding the
tariff since they were elected by
the Wisconsin State Democratic
convention. At that time Senator
Villas was chairman of the Comm
ittee on Resolutions, and read the
platform of the Wisconsin Demo-
Gratis as he read the platform pro-
posed by the Democrats Of the
nation. In that Wisconsin plat
form the tariff plank read:
UNNECESSARY taxation is unjust
taxation, and therefore we reahirm
the oft-asserted doctrine that there
should be no tariff taxation except
for revenue"
The Wisconsin Democrats
adopted this just as Senator Villas
presented it to them, but the dele
gates selected by the Wisconsin
Democrats on Wednesday night
voted solidly their twenty-four
votes against the same plank when
Mr.. Neal, of Ohio, wanted it sub
stituted for the dishonest straddle
proposed by the committee. Sena-
tor Villas, at the head Of the Wis
consin delegation, was remarkable
for his contempt of the Wisconsin
State convention and its chair
man of the platform committee,
and used all his persuasive elo-
quence to defeat the expression in
favor of revenue only, and to have
the old straddle of 1884 adopted.
AS chairman of the Committee
on Platform at the Wisconsin con-
vention, Senator Villas should call
himself to account for his action
in the National convention. He
shonld demand an explanation
from himself as to why he violated
his instructions in voting against
his own resolution fathered by his
own State convention.
Villas found fault with Henry
Watterson for repudiating tariff
plank he had accepted as a COM
promise eight years ago. We
should be glad to know Waiter
sons opinion of Villas, who repud-
lated tariff plank written by him
self less than eight weeks ago.
When ex-senator Jno. c. Spoon
er was in New York last week he
was interviewed concerning the
campaign, and among other things
he said: at is matter of entire
indifference who the democratic
candidates may be. They are
doomed beforehand to defeat
This is a republican year by ar
immense; majority. Nobody neec
fear for Wisconsin, even should
Mr.. Boiles succeed at Chicago
Wherev er l have been since the
convention l have been pleased to
note the uniform satisfaction which
is expr essed regarding the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Reid. He is going
to add strength to the ticket, both
east and west. His was, in my
opinion, a most fortunate selection.

with thanks, and asked me to come in.
