AROUND the Capitol it is confidently as
serted that Hon. Justin R. Whiting, repre-
sentative from the Seventh district of Michi-
gan, will be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of the state. Mr..
Whiting is now serving his fourth term in
the House, is an able and industrious men,
Der of the Ways and Means Committee, and
served on the subcommittee which prepared
the Wilson bill. Although the candidature OF
Mr.. Whiting may not be especially pleasing
to ex-Postmaster General Don NJ. Dickinson
and his following, it is generally conceded by
people familiar with the present condition OF
politics in the Wolverine State that II the
Democracy really entertains the slightest
hope of success In the coming campaign the
party will not find better or more popular
leader than Justin R. Whiting.

Killed by a Train.
l FRIEND.

OCoNoMowoC, August 2O.-B ernard
Kern was instantly killed this after
noon at the Main street crossing of the
railway by being struck by train No 38,
going east, at 2:33 O. 'clock. The wrecked
buggy was carried on the pilot of the
engine to the depot, two blocks away,
the collision having severed it from the
horse, which continued on it's journey.
Mr.. Kern was thrown to the sidewalk
of Summit street, fifty feet away, was
breathing when found, but expired
while being conveyed to the Jones
house, two blocks. He was aged some.
where in the seventies, had lived on
the shore Of Silver lake, two miles from
here, many years, having moved there
from Dodge county, and was greatly
esteemed.

For a New County.

The Oconomowoc Free Press gives
the following interesting gossip core~
corning a new county which it is being.
considered in some circles of forming
Occasionally there is cropping out
of story that there is a probability
that new county is to be formed OF
which OconomOwoc will be the center
and the county seat. No one knows ap~
parently just where the story come s.
from and no one apparently stops to-
ask. The idea is that Dodge, Jeffer~
son, Waukesha and Washington coure-~
ties will each give up slice ofterritory-
to form a new county to be called per
haps "Oconomowoc county" Upon
the face of things it is not patent that
such change is at all desired by citi--
zens here Or anywhere else and at the
change would help only the profession
al politicians by creating more Offices
for them. Another idea darkly hinteR
at is that by uniting the territory contig-~
uous to this city to a portion of old
Democratic Dodge the new county
would be made Democratic. But jusE
at present Dodge county needs all of it's
majority to elect ticket and by the
time that Jefferson hits it the slap in
congressional affairs that it is going to
Dodge's big majority will, be somewhat
withered and unraveled; so that that
idea fades away in the dim distance
when it is looked closely at
Of course it might be an excellent
thing for Oconomowoc if it we're 8
county seat. But the cost to organize
a new county would be enormous at
this stage and the profit by it would
for years accrue only to favored few
AS a plan worthy of any immediate
consummation many will agree that it
is well to have it ''die abornin.''

AS to Barwig's Strength.

The Weltbuerger takes exception to
the editorial from The Portage Regis
ter, published in our last issue, in re-
gard to the nomination of Mr.. Barwig
being a good one from q Republican
standpoint, and says that this cry of
the Republican press is done to keep
up courage, like the small boy who
whistles while passing a graveyard.
That Mr. Barwig is an extremely strong
man in the eyes of the federal office
holders throughout the district we do
not doubt in the least, but it is safe to
say he is much more popular with them
than be is with the farmers and others
of the district who will be affected by
the "perfdious" tariff legislation of con-
gress on two of their leading products,
barley and wool, which received the
sanction of Mr.. Barwig by his votes
There is no hiding the fact that Mr. Bar
wig has thus antagonized himself
against the strong portion of the voting
element in his district, and when the
votes are counted this will be found to
be no idle talk. But this is not the on
ly cause which will tend to make Mr..
Barwlg an unpopular candidate. There
Is feeling against him in his own
party occasioned by his official APP
pointments that has on more than one.
occasion made itself evident The ar
ticle alluded to last week, printed in
The Columbus Democrat, one of the
leading Democratic papers in the dis
trict, made this fact apparent, and we
are quite sure that the editor Of The
Democrat and his faction of the party
in Columbia county will not work very
enthusiastically for the success of the
congressman. And then there is the
dissatisfaction and ill-feeling among
the Democracy of Jefferson county,
brought on by numerous causes, prin-
cipal among which was the shameful
manner in which they considered they
were treated at the convention in not
having their favorite, Mr.. Kirkland,
and the rights of their county recog
nized as the business of the case de-
manded. OF the existence of this in
tense harmony (?), and of the true
facts in the matter, The Weltbuerger
must well be aware. Just what Mr..
Barwig has ever done "to save the
country" or fer the benefit of his con-
stltuents generally, does not appear
very clearly, and we think there are
many who would like to be concisely
informed on this line by The Welt
buerger. If he has ever achieved any
prominence in the house, there are
very few who have heard of it, and it
is not likely he ever will be prominent,
as he lacks the necessary ability to
make him SO. AS representative, in
the language of The Sentinel, ''he
merely counts one when the Demo-
cratic managers in congress reckon up
their voting strength" Mr. Barwig's s
popularity in former years, when every
thing was in his favor, will not be in
evidence this year, and The Welt
buerger will find great falling off in
his vote next November. There will
be no 4,500 majority for him in Dodge
county.

The contract for the erection of the

in connection with the nomination; he

Of a Political Nature.

The Republicans of the Second Con-
gressional district meet in convention
at Portage next Tuesday to select a
candidate to oppose Charles Barwig.
Great interest attaches to the work of
the convention and the canvass to fol-
low, and the outcome in the district
will be closely observed in political
circles. Many there are who would
not be surprised to witness an upheaval
in the Democratic stronghold this fall
which would return Republican
member to congress, and this is the
prediction of not few as to the result.
In view of this encouraging sentiment
prevailing, the convention should do
its work carefully and deliberately
The ground should be looked over
thoroughly and the best possible selec-
ton in the interest of all made. The
great opportunity which presents it
self of placing a representative in the
halls of congress who aCiU represent the
district should be taken advantage of.
With all sober and thoughtful minded
people the vital questions of the coun-
try's welfare this year are in the hands
of the Republican party, and realizing
this, many a Democratic vote will be
changed to the proper course next
November. In regard to a candidate,
there have been several names men
toned. The most prominent at first
was George Grimm, but he has refused
to run. OF late Dane county has come
forward with candidate in the person
of John A. Johnson, of Madison,
we'll known Scandinavian and gentle
man of education and means. tits said
he would make an active campaign,
would prove strong votegetter and,
if elected, most useful preventative.
Commenting on his candidacy, a per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Johnson s at Slough
ton writes us as follows: II have known
the gentleman for years and he has all
the qualifications to acquire national
reputation as representative. He is
a good writer and speaker, also an ex-
cellent dehater, and man of large ac-
quaintance, influence and means"
Another gentleman whom we think
would be very popular candidate, es-
pecially in his home county, is Edward
Sauerhering, of Mayville. being men
toned as Dodge county's favorite. Our
juneau correspondent, who knows him
we'll, speaks of him as an energetic and
aggressive young man, thoroughly post
ed on the affairs of the day and in
position to make an active and effective
canvass. There are plenty of other
available men in the district to make
the run, and there is no reason for the
convention to falter in its best en-
deavors.

1t is reported that an invitation will
be extended to Henry Fink, of this
city, by Second district Germans to run
for congress in that district. The move
is still in embryo, and Mr. Fink him
self has nothing to say aboutit. Those
who know Mr.. Fink best, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, declare that he
could carry Dodge county and the Sec
ond district against Barwig, Just as
Richard Guenther carried Dodge coun-
ty and the Fifth district against Della
ney in 1886. It is said that Mr.. Barwig
represents the same faction of the
party that Delaney represented, and
that there is dissatisfaction enough
with Barwig among the Dodge county
Democratic Germans to elect Repub-
lican. Prominent Germans of Dodge
county who were in the city last
week, stated that if popular Republi-
can was put up he would carry Dodge

in this most auspicious year, to make
selection of a clean, able and popular
candidate, one who will 60 into the
fight with a determination to win if
possible. With strong Republican
endorsement from Waukesha county to
meet a greatly reduced Democratic
majority in this county, the result may
be different than in former elections
