torchlight procession in the evening
were outside attractions enjoyed by
all, and compensated those who could
not get into the halls to hear the
speeches. Major Upham had been
called away, which was a disappoint-
ment. but much relieved by the
presence of Phil Cheek, who came at
the next governors command to rep
resent him.
There were present, Mr.. Babcock,
candidate for congress; Mr.. Casson,
for seer. airy of state; Mr. Mylrea,
for attorney general; Mr.. Emery,
for supt. Of schools; Mr.. Mckenzie,
for railroad commissioners, and Mr..
Fricke, for insurance commissioner.
Mr.. Rankin, the eloquent Pittsburg
moulder, made the principal speech
OF the day. He spoke for two hours
in the afternoon and briefly again in
the evening. In referring to the zinc
and lead mining interests of iowa
county, and the loss thereto by the
fall in price through the democratic
influences, Mr.. Rankin made good
hit. lie said the production Of zinc
ore in the county was estimated at
1900 tons per year, the drop in price
Of which since 1892 was S6 per ton, or
100000 in the aggregate. This IS be-
lieved TO sbe rather under than over
the facts. His estimate of 100000
pounds Of lead as the annual product
of the county may be too high. In
arriving at the difference of $40 per
loco he probably took the highest fig
IRE ia 1892 -about S2i, and the lowest
in 1894, about $l4.

THOMAS GIBBoN, republican nomi-
nee for clerk of court, is making a
good impression on the people of the
county as lie travels about. His
presence il that of modest, intelli-
gent young man, relying upon the
wisdom of the voters to do the right
at the polls, and perfectly confident
that as clerk of the court he will be
able to convince everybody that no
mistake was made in selecting him
for that office. AS before stated, he
has ample qualification through a
course at the Platteville normal
school, the thorough institution that
Mr.. Mr.. VIM. A. Jones graduated
from. 1t can be stated as an incon-
testible fact that no better qualified
or more worthy man was ever nomi-
mated or elected by any parry in
Iowa county for the Office Of clerk Of
court than is Mr.. Gibbon.

A Word of Caution.

There are indications that some
desperate tricks are ON the dem
ocratlc program for the last few
days before election. What they
will consist Of cannot be foretold,
Democratic managers manifestly re-
gard their case in Wisconsin as lost
il people vote upon its merits. They
are, rs shown in the past, unscrupu-
lOuS enough to resort to any false
hood or fraud, when too late To be
met and shown UP, to deceive the
voters. The gatherings of little
knots az ward workers on street cor
ners and nj democratic business
places in Mineral Point, are signiti-
cant. Who constitute this local CO.
terie is well known. Anything ena-
mating from them, stories peddled by
them, viii have no credence when
the source Is known, and they will
be wise enough, perhaps, not to let
their hands appear. 4 Hood OF CAM
paign lies III print is one thing prob
able. There can he no political facts
Of importance not already generally
known and considered. Therefore,
anything purporting to be new in re-
lation "a the issues and candidates
involved, thrown out on the eve of
election, should be, and generally is,
treated ~ mere campaign roorhack.

CHARLES j. THOMAS is il name
known in Iowa county as one of the
most active, enthusiastic democratic
workers. He was in fact recognized
us i wheel horse. No democratic
committee was complete without
him. In the proceedings OF demo-
cratic conventions no name was more
seen than his. lie served
as deputy postmaster at Dodgeville
Cleyeland's first term. A few
years ago he Went to Bessemer, Mich,
and there continued his labors for
democracy and reform. But finally,
ii seems, Charley has got his eyes
open. A dispatch from Bessemer
says: "A sensation has been created
here by the action Of Chas.J Thomas
IN renouncing his allegiance to the
democratic party. Mr.. Thomas has
been one Of the most prominent
democrats aud one of the hardest
workers ia Northern Michigan for
several years, and Is man Of strong
individuality. He came here from
Dodgeville, Wis. whore he stood high
in the councils of his party and
held several important offices under
democratic rule in years past

ALDRo jerks, of Dodgeville, and
r. l.. Cleary, of Platteville, spoke for
the democrats in this city last week.
They both labored faithfully to break
the force of the damaging facts that
are pressing their old party of free
trade and disaster to the wall. AS to
the roster deal, and other defects Of
the Peck administration, they fol-
lowed the usual democratic tactics of
lodging, "The state lost nothing by
the roster contract they say, "and
therefore it is Of no consequence to
the people, Like most democratic
speakers and editors they seem to
think the people lack the discrimin-
alton to see that the state did not
lose $4,000 to $4,000 simply and only
because the boodlers We're intercept
ed in their raid upon the treasury,
and the theft was prevented. When
the votes are counted next Tuesday
1t will be seen that these democratic
for democratic rascality
underestimate tie intelligence and
honesty of the people.
