THE Democratic ticket in this county is
doomed to defeat, and every Republican
voter should exert himself to the utmost
TO see that this defeat is overwhelming
Do not listen to the campaign lies that the
enemy will circulate from now until
election day with the view of making you
dissatisfied. Our ticket is pure and above
reproach, and the Democrats are unable
to pick flaw in the character OF any Of
our candidates. With such ticket there
is no need for any Republican to deny his
support to the nominees. The Democrats
have had the Sheriff for three years
they have the Surrogate, the Prosecutor
of the Pleas. and three Judges of the
Court they have enough. The Republi-
can party has a majority in Burlington
county and it should be used for its legit-
innate end, the election of Republican
officers

THE friends of Thomas Clifford, of Dor.
dentown, are not feeling very pleasant
over the way in which he was treated in
the election for delegates to the last coun-
ty Democratic convention, and at the
convention. Finding that it would be i'm
possible to secure their delegates in fair
manner. the Rogers-Shinn combination
made Clifford believe that he would be a
successful dark horse, and in this way
elected their men. At the convention
Lawyer Antrim, with considerable gusto
and apparent sincerity, named Clifford
and the Bordentown delegation stuck to
him-on the first ballot. On the second,
Bordentown, at the head of the list, cast
9 of its 10 votes for Rogers. And then,
when it came to the nomination for
Steward of the Poor House. Clifford was
not mentioned. Those who had made a
catspaw of him had no further use for
him

date for County Clerk, is % years of age
When his father was elected Sheriff,
Samuel was not of age, but he was given
position in the Office and in due time
was made deputy sheriff, and has pocket
ed the emoluments of that position.
Therefore, for the past three years Samuel
w. Shinn has been Democratic office
holder without having given his party
any political compensation. Being in
long enough to get "oficial ITCH" he
stepped forward, not modestly but with
brazen effrontery, and demanded the
nomination to one OF the best paying
Offices in the county. That he gained his
point is certain. How he gained it is
well known to those who more deserv-
ing than he," attempted to secure the

ANOTHER campaign lie that Is being
given circulation is that William W.
Worrell expects to be elected through
the efforts of certain secret organization
of which he is member" This is not
so. Mr.. Worrell expects to be elected by
his own personal efforts, together with
those of his friends, many of whom are
members of the organization referred to.
That there are those in that order who
hold different political ideas, and who
will not give him their support is certain,
and that he processes to control the or
ganization" is false. But, while on this
subject, why has not William w. Worrell
just as much right to seek support in his or
der, as William Rogers, Democratic candi-
date for Sheriff, has the privilege of going
into society of which he is member? He
cannot deny that he has approached Re-
publicans and asked support on the
grounds that he and those whose sup
port he solicited are brother Masons. Of
course, BILLY" Rogers is Democrat, and
"Billy" Worrsll is Republican, and this
makes all the difference in the world-to
Democrats

with that situation is the condition of af-
fairs to-day. Take our own town with its
shoe shops running on reduced time; take
Smithville with many mon laid off, while
those fortunate enough to be at work are
kept on at half time. That this change
is due to the change in the political gov
eminent of the country Is undeniable.
Those who were anxious for change"
are satisfied. There is chance to lay
the basis for return to the good old
times. Help elect the Republican ticket
everywhere. 1t will be stepping stone
toward greater success.

TAKES MORE EVIDENCE.
Grand Jury Investigating Milwaukee
Bank Failures.

Milwaukee, Sept. 6.-The grand jury
investigation of the condition of the
South Side Savings bank was continu-
ed. 1t had been decided to drop for a
! lew days the matter of requiring Will
liam Plankinton to appear with all
the books of the Plankinton bank.
| Meanwhile the jury will devote it's
attention to the South Side bank and
for the present no attempt will be
made to enforce the presence of John
the jury shall go ahead and collect all
the evidence possible regarding the al
legged insolvency of the South Side
bank. Then if the attendance of Cash
| ier Koetting can be enforced, he will
be asked to explain the points which
the jury has picked up in hearing the
tales of woe of the depositors. IT Mr..
koetting be unable to give satisfactory
explanations, some indictments will
probably be returned.
Receiver Barth, of the South Side
Savings bank, was the first witness
called by the grand jury this morning
Mr.. Barth gave an exhaustive review
of the condition of the South Side bank
when he took charge and his eXamina-
ton lasted all morning
II. S. Kopmeier, teller of the South
Side Savings bank, who is a brother-in-
law of Koetting, was the next witness.
After his examination a number of de-
positors who left their money at the
bank under rather peculiar conditions
We're examined. 1t is expected that
some interesting information will be
drawn out on this line before the in
vestigation ends, for some strange tales
have been told regarding Koetting's
refusal to take certain deposits from
friends and his accepting the money of
others up to the last minute on the
day the bank failed.
No attempt will be made to investigate
the condition of the other defunct banks
in the city until the South Side matter
has been thoroughly sifted.

Stewart Deplores President Cleveland's
Early Surroundings

peal bill-Mr. Stewart, republican, of
Nevada, being entitled to the floor 10

ever, gave his right to several others,
but ere long began his speech in earn
est.
Referring. to President Cleveland
Stewart said it is sad thing for the
American people that in his early life
and ripper manhood Cleveland had not
been surrounded as Andrew Jackson
had been, by the producing classes; by
laboring men and farmers, that he
might sympathiZe with them. Cleve-
land was reared in the city; his office
was in the Mills building, New York
the very center in the United Statso
OF European influence. He sympathiZ
ed with his surroundings and his sur.
roundlngs were unfortunate for the
American people. Cleveland'S organs
said Stewart, constantly praised him
for the use of federal patronage to Sc
cure destruction of all legislation that
pointed to silver. Il do not charge him
with it, said Stewart, drawing him
self to his full height aud speaking
with much warmth, but if it is moi
liver me from my friends"

WHERE ARE THE UNEMPLOYED!

Chicago Journal.-Day after day the
appeals with less effort to the sympa-
thieS and purses of the charitably
minded. 1t has been discovered that
able-bodied men who prefer to live
on the earnings Of others constitute
the bulk of the applicants for food at
the free dispensary on the West Side.
The registration of men willing TO
work on the drainage canal ran only
slightly over 100. Notices were sent
to 400 of these to start for the canal
this morning. Only $50 appeared.
There is work for 200 more now and for
others later.
1t is time that the free distribution
of food ceased. Some plan of employ
ing the subscriptions of the charitable
in more profitable way should be
adopted. Let it be paid out for work
on the streets, which need cleaning
more palpably than some of the IN
employed need employment, rather
than into soup kettles. The disribu-
ton of food, clothes and money gratis.
except in the cases of absolute ina
bility to work, fosters the most dan
gerous kind of pauperism, and should
be avoided even at the risk of appear
ing to disregard the distress Of the
needy. The charity that takes the
form of wages honors alike him that
gives and him that takes.

DR.. Keenan's many trends are sur
prised at this piece Of news, to say the
least. The doctor, although he admits
he applied for foreign position, was
not prepared for SO early an announce
ment of the appointment. The position
he had first hoped to get was the vi
emma consulship, and when that was
out of his reach he tried for consul at
Dresden. Kehl was next to Dresden
and here his luck changed. DR.. Keenan,
has had excellent champions for his
cause, including Senator Villas, Justices
Pinney and Orion, and Senator Mitch
ell is also said to have promised to do
what he could. That Dr. keenan, does
not need the job, from a financial point
of view, is well known, but he wanted it
and there is no one who can say that
| he is not the right man for the posi-
| ton. Although not active in politics,
DIR. keenan, is a Staunch and deserving
democrat.
Kehl is city Of about 5000 inhabi-

Rhine The consulate there pays q
salary of 81, 800 per year, while the fees
during 1892 amounted to S2,41S, swell
ing the total to about $4,000 per year.
DR.. keenan, was raised in Dane coun-
ty, living until he neared his maturity
on a farm near Oregon. He attended
the state university several years and
completed his medical education
abroad. For about two years he has
been engaged in the practice of medi-

successful and popular He is to be

HENRY G. PAYNE STRICKEN
Laid Low by What Appears to BE
ApopleXy-DoingW Well

Milwaukee, Sept. Henry c.. Payne
was attacked with what appeared to
be an apoplectic fit on 4 st. Paul road
train while coming TO Milwaukee from
Chicago this morning
Mr. Payne had been conyersing with
friends on the train and appeared to
be in his usual health About three
miles from Western Union Junction
he was suddenly attacked. He lost
consciousness and remained in that
condition until the city was reached.
From Western Union Junction his
friends telegraphed to Milwaukee and
Drs. Brown and Richards met him at
the Union depot when the train reach
ed here at $40 o'clock.
Mr.. Payne was carried to a carriage
and conveyed Immediately to his home
attended by the doctors.
DR.. Brown made a hasty examination
at the depot when Mr.. Paine arrived
and stated that in his opinion the at
tack was not very serious.
The news Of Mr.. Payne's illness
caused the greatest concern among his
friends who heard Of it. For over Il
year he has not been regarded AS a
well man. In fact, year ago he was
warned that unless he got rid of
some of his cares his health would give
way.

MORE INTEREST.
The Cases Against ex-Treasurers Kuehn

In the supreme court yesterday morn
ing the cases of the state against eX-
Treasures Kuehn and BaetZ, to recov-
er interest received by them on public
funds deposited in banks during their
incumbency, We're called for argument
upon the question Of the latitude Of
examination to which the defendants
might be subjected before a court com
missioner and previous to trial. Judge
Siebecker denied the motion of AINssrS.
Winkler, Flanders, Smith, Bottum &
Villas, attorneys for the defense, either
to forbid or to limit the scope of the
examination, and an appeal was taken
to the supreme court. r. M. BaShfOrd
argued the case for the state. 1t was
submitted by the defense on case and
briefs. Mr.. Bashford held that under
section 1906, permitting the eXamina-
ton of adverse parties in civil actions,
the state had a perfect right to fully
inquire of the defendants and their
bondsmen respecting the amounts OF
state money deposited by them in banks
and the interest received.

MOST THRILLING ADVENTURE
Aeronaut Eierman Picked up OH Lake
Michigan.

MlCnlSdn.
st. Ignace, Mich, Sept. lotto Eier-
nan, who made balloon ascension
from SchlitZ park, Milwaukee, last Sun
Cay afternoon, and who it was feared
was lost il Lake Michigan, arrived here
yesterday afternoon none the worse
for his thrilling experience and narrow
escape from death, but his balloon is
a wreck in the waters of the lake.
He was discovered by the lookout on
the schooner Ellen Williams, Sunday
night, swimming in the water twenty
five miles from Milwaukee He had Oh
life preserver, to which he owes his
safety. He was in the water ninety
minutes, and previous to dropping in
the lake he had left the car and clam
bered into the netting, and here he
hung on for life, he says, for thirty
minutes.
All this time the balloon was skim
ming over the face of the lake in a
heavy wind, like thistledown, and
every few seconds the car caught on
wave and then he would be nearly dis
lodged from his precarious holding po-
sition. When nearly exhausted one of
these jerks tore him from his perch and
he fell A common cork life preserver
fastened about his chest kept him
afoat, and during the succeeding nine
ty minutes he battled with the waves
with death appearing as the inevitable
termination of his thrilling voyage.
Eierman passed the schooner Ellen
Williams, bound for Mackinaw, while
to the balloon, and race at
once set in between the big gas bag
and the boat. The former being the
lighter of the two it looked like
hopeless contest for the aeronaut, and
when he fell from the rigging into the
water and was carried on by the
waves with no other support than his
life preserver, and with the vessel far
in his rear, no escape seemed possible.
Finally when nearly exhausted from
his exertions and faint from exposure
the schooner overlook him.

STRIKE IS IMMINENT.
Wisconsin Central Men Fighting Re
duction in Wages at Ashland.

Ashland, Wis, Sept. IA strike
among the railroad employees of the
Wisconsin Central at Ashland is immi-
nent. A genreal order was issued from
department. headquarters reducing
wages 10 per cent.
The trainmen, engineers and firemen
have held several meetings, but at each
the reduction has been refused and a
strike spirit predominated. A grievance
committee has been appointed to go
to Chicago and endeavor to arbitrate
matters with the head officials of the
road.
One source of grievance is that the
cut dose not affect Northern Pacific
employees, who are virtually under the
same management. If the strike is
ordered it will include Switcnmen, en-
gineers, rainmen and firemen.
