The nannle Of Rhinelander are

The people Of Rhinelander are
making a strong effort to have the re-
publican congressional convention held
in that city and we hope they will
succeed. There is no doubt but what
they would entertain the delegates in q
royal manner. 1t is as easy OF access as
any city in the district and has no
favorite son which it IS booming for
Congressional honors, so that none Of
the candidates can feel that favoiitism
is being shown in the choice Of the city
chosen in which to hold the conyen-
ton. By al means let the contention
so to Rhinelander.

The friends of Alex Stewart, of
Wausau, are pressing his claims fer the
republican nomination for congress in
this district and he is receiving many
assurances Of support. The Wisconsin
river valley is practically solid for him.
Mr. Stewart is q practical business man
and is thoroughly identified with the
interests Of the district and thorough
~ understands its needs. We think
that he would make q strong candidate
and would find no trouble, if nominated,
in defeating Mr.. Lynch for the Office.
-
The man most frequently mention
r ino fnr
secretary Of state is Col. Henry Casson,
Of Viroqua. Mr.. Casson is al Old news
paper man and has hosts of friends
throughout the state. He is the right
man for the right place and his name
viii add strength to the ticket. The
republicans cannot afford to make any
blunders in making up their ticket and
they certainly will not by putting
Henry Casson's name on for secretary
of state.
-
Capt. Ole Oleson, Of Oshkosh. is
being pushed for the republican nomin-
alton for railroad commissioner Mr..
Oleson has hosts of friends in this part
of the state who would like to St him
nominated and he will probably get the
support Of this county in the conven-
ton.
"A vesran Republican ''heeier' of
this state is on record as having said
lately that Every thing is our way
this year; the Republicans Of Wiscon~
sin can elect ayellow dog and I'm to
be candidate. I have waited long
and with me it's now OF never.-Domo-
crat.
In the short space CT little more than
q year that the Democrats have had
control OF the destinies of the country
they have almost wrecked it's indus
tries. They have closed a large per-
centage Of it's shops and factories and
have filed the whole country with
armies OF unemployed workingmen.
The mines have shut down, the mills
are either closed or running at reduced
hours or wages and the whole business
CT the country is almost at a stand still.
It has so injured the credit CT the gov
eminent that while only q few years
ago. under 9 Republican adninistra-
ton. its bonds bearing three per cent
interest sold at . premium, now its
bonds bearing five per cent interest can
hardly be disposed OF at par.
Is it any wonder then that the people
are Disguised with the imbecility Of the
present administration? Is it surpris-
ing that the manufacturer, as he looks
at his closed mill and factory, the bust
ness man, as he sees his business on the
verge CT ruin. The miners, with their
starving families around them. the
operatives in the mills and factories,
who are out Of employment or whose
wages have been reduced and who see
the very bread taken from the mouths
of their children, is it any wonder, we
say, that all OF these people hail the
prospects OF change with Joy and that
even yellow dog" would be prefer
able to the present democratic regeme.
How much less then the wonder that
with such men mentioned for governor
as Edward Schofield, John G. Koch and
Hold Taylor and on the platform OF
protection to American industries and
the old wages that the voters are flock
ing to the Republican standard.

The cuckoos plaintive cry, that COM
merce is tagging and manufactures
closed because "taritf reform" is delay
ed, is too foolish to deceive any one.
The years OF prosperity under the
tariff and the sudden paralysis Of bust
ness when Democrats threatened a
change tell the whole story. Drop
tariff reform" into the waste basket
