THE democratic party has bten in
power two years, and aside from the
years OF the civil war no two such years
OF disaster have ever passed over the
county since the SOS The democratic
leaders paraded before the people the
awfu condition Of things as they exist
ed under the republican administra-
tions and they boasted that all evils
would be corrected il these same demo-
cratic leaders were only placed at the
helm. Through glittering misrepre-
sentation. fulsome tiattery. and glowing
promises the people were daZzled and
rlislead into putting them into power.
They TOOK the helm of the ship of state
and with their sugar coated theories of
government steered straight for the
breakers where for the last eighteen
months they have houndered horelessly
with mutinous crews. no anchor, no
order, no nothing but disaster. Any
candid democrat knows this and admits
it. He is not at all proud of his party
record. He realizes that the loss to the
country, both labor and CAPT al, in the
past year and a half has oeen more
than can be regained in the next ten
To-day the wall of helpless poverty
goes up from thousands of homes for
relief and there is TO reliet. Yet these
same democratic leaders are again
abroad, asking the voter to again trust
the ship OF state in their hands. They
are armed with honeyed words and all
sorts of fiimsey apologies for the wreck
and ruin they nave caused, aud plead
for continuance in places they have dis
graced by their incompetency. But

and when election day comes quietly
but earnestly put in a ballot which shall
tend to restore the industries and in
terests of this country to the hands of
their friends, the followers of Lincoln,

RULING OUT GAMBLING

The action of the New York Consti-
tutioral convention with reference to
gambling will, if ratified by the peopk
provide law strict enough to put stou
to all forms of gambling. The amend.
ment, which was adopted By vote OF
100 to 4, reads as follows:
No sule of lottery tickets. pool-soIlin g, book
making or any other kind of gambling shall here
after be authorized or allowed within this state,
and the legislature shall pass appropriate laws to
prevent offenses against any of the provisions OF
this section.
The enforcement of q law of this kind
would mean q wholesome suppression OF
gambling such as has never been known.
To an organization such as the Civic
Federation of Chicago it would offer a
broad field of operations that would re-
suit in an unheard-of publication of so.

terpretation.
Judging from abundant manifestation
OF popular sentiment, the proposed
amendment Will be adopted by the
people of New York state by vote al
most as overwhelming as il was in the
convention. The decentralization that
every form of gambling brings in il;
wake is so fully realized that the mos
striL. ent law will commend itself
Similar laws are sure to find their way
to enactment in most of our states be-
fore long. The question of their enforce
ment is not so certain 10 be readily solv
ed but there are encouraging symptoms
in that direction too. Niifngt5st sen.

WILLIAM HENRY UPHAM, the kepub-
lican candidate for the Governorship
of Wisconsin, was born at Westches-
ter. Mass, May 3, 1871, of good old
New England stock. Major Upham is
the eighth child OF his parents in
order Of birth, and be is the eighth in
order Of descent from the founder of
the family, John Upham, who came
to America in 1885 Young Upham
went to Wisconsin with his mother IA
1858, and attended the school of Col
J. 6. McMynn At the breaking out
Of the war w H. Upham was among
the very first TO enroll among the Belle
City Rifles. an Organization made up
of the flower of .ae youth of that city.
He enlisted in May, 1861. and was
mustered into the service at Camp
Randall, Madison, June II. After
the disaster at Bun Run it was only
known of him that he was shot down.
and his comrades wrote TO his parents
at Racine announcing his death. The
funeral sermon of " liam Ii Upham
was preached in the First Presbyterian
Church by the Rev. MIR. Hutchins
At that date the subject Of the dis
course was in bondage at Libby, in
the city OF Richmond, where he re-
covered from his wound and remained
seven months and was then paroled
On his return to Washington, Presi-
dent Lincoln appointed him as a cadet
at West Point, where he was gradual
ed in 1866.
The town Of Marshtield was plotted
in 1879. and thither Major Upham
moved. transferring all his interests
to the place. which grew with remark
able rapidity
The interests Of the Upham Manu-
featuring Company continued to thrive
until the year 1887, when the business
portion of MarShtield was almost tot
ally destroyed by fire With his usual
energy and pluck Major Upham set to
work to rebuild hi, plant and soon
had his business in working order
The prosperity IT Marshtield il almost
entirely due to the enterprise OF Major
yrpham and the business Of the Up

HOW corsan Troops Arc Drilled.

On the recent arrival at Chemulpi
Corea, Of the United States steamer
Marion, Commander Gridley, accom-
panied by three OF his officers, paid al
official visit to Seoul, where they were
tho guests of United States Minister Au'
gustine Heard, at whose request Hi
Majesty, King Ii Fin, granted a private
audience to the officers and assured the
commander OF his friendship for the
United States. The officers were also in.
vitcd to witness tho drill OF a battalion
Of Corean soldiers, whose military bear
ing was specially noticeable, as were also
the precision and excellence OF theh
drill.
Two companies OF 100 men each took
part In the evolutions, which were per.
formed according to Upton's tactics.
The manual OF arms, ~wheelings and
marching in quick and in double TINT
were admirably performed. The file
closers all carried long handled clubs, OF
paddles, instead OF rifles, like the rest.
The officers curiosity regarding the use
OF these paddles was soon satisfied. A
poor devil in the rear rank, who brought
his piece to s'shoulder arms" instead oil
'sorder arms" was instantly pounced
upon by two burly file c~losers, knocked
down and given a beating that must
have made his bones ache for a month.
He made no more mistakes that day.
This interesting diversion was repeated
several times.-New York Herald.
