pleasure To be that OF the accom-
puoucd and genial editor OIL the Oar
lmgton Republican, brother j. g..
Mouahan. OF Mr.. NJ aud his
candidacy the correspondent says:
The young republicans OF the state are
clamoriug Tor generous recognition, and if the
next state convention does not aCcede to their
demands there may ue trouble. They say that
the oid-timers have been in the harness long
enough and have out grown their usefulness;
that the state has been lost to the republican
party under their rule and that the infusion OF
new blood is necessary to the success OF the
party in the next election. The nomination of
john c. Spoouer for governor IN 1897 partly
satisfied this young element, hut they viii not
let their case rest their. They will demand
tue nomination OF yOpug man for governor
next fall. IL is among the possibilities that
James c. MOuahan OF Darlington, Lafayette
county, may be the man. There IS n great
deal OF talk about him in the southern part
OF The state just now and something tangible
Is ikeiy to come of it.

ability, is one of the best stump speakers in
wis cOnsin, makes friends easily, is honest aud

MIR. Nunahau is man of prrpossessiug per-
soml appearance and he IS one of the most
popular men In the southern part of the state
