Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1892-10-29


The democratic policy in this
state seems to be to save the in
terest on the money in the state
treasury, and spend the principal
upon extra sessions of the legis-
lature to gerrymauder the state so
as to give the democrats majority
of the legislature with only
minority of the votes in the state.
MARRIED, by Rev. 5. r.. Chubb
on the 26th, at the residence of the
brides parents, Mr.. John Fathers
of Hollandale and Eta Bambrough
of this city. At the conclusion of
the ceremony many were the well
wishes and congratulations given
to the young couple by the friends
who crowded around the sumptous
feast provided for all.
DEPUTY COMMANDER WELToN
has appointed d. f. Jacobs, of
this city, assistant inspector for the
5th and 9th districts, g. A. r.,
comprising nearly all the towns in
Grant, Iowa and Lafayette coun-
ties. Mr.. Jacobs has been ON an
inspecting tour in Grant county
this week. This appointment has
been conferred on one most worthy,
and his numberess friends here are
highly pleased thereat.
WE are informed from a source
which we deem creditable, that the
Democratic state managers Of Wis
consin have, in a measure, relin-
quished the idea of carrying either
the state or national ticket, but
will concentrate their forces upon
the election Of members of the
s,ate legislature; and that it is in
accordance with the declaration
of Boss Wall that farmer Baker
has been set aside and lawyer
Smith placed in nomination as the
Democratic candidate for the state
Legislature.
THE speech of Congressman
Bushnell last Thursday night failed
to arouse enthusiasm. 1t was tame
and dry, with plenty of figures and
per centages, and ifs and butts, and
excuses for past misconduct, end
ing with a plea to give the Demo
cratic party another trial. Those
who have heard and transacted
business through Mr.. LaFollette,
whom NJ. Bushnell succeeded, have
long ago awoke to full realization
of the great mistake made at the
polls in this congressional district
two years ago.
THE question is occasionally put,
"Why don't McCutchin, the Re
publican candidate for county clerk 4,
come around and show himself?"
One good reason is that he Is not
able physically to endure the wear
and tear of a thorough canvass of
the county. Every Republican
should vote for him, however. He
is thoroughly competent, a model
young man morally, and aside
from these qualifications is as much
in need of office for the salary
thereof as any candidate before the
people Of Iowa county.
AND now Mineral Point is to
have a steam laundry. Two Of our
go-ahead young men, messrs' rfed
Gilman and James Wearne, have
decided to establish one III the
stone building formerly occupied
! by Jeuck Bros. and joining the
Polkinghorn warehouse now owned
by A. L. White, on Commerce
street. They hope to be in full
running order about week from
now. This new enterprise will fill
long-felt want, and be hailed
with delight by many citizens. 1t
| is hoped the young men will
realize a paying business.
SUPPORTERS Of Harrison and
Spooner, stop and think: To vote
for one man for two Offices IN one
day seem to be asking considerable.
This the Democrats Of Iowa county
are expected to do, and most Of
