An Objection 20 Cement Walks.

One of the property owners to be affected
by the cementing of Washington street side
walks was before the Board of Public
Works yesterday asking that the board
delay this Improvement. The objector owns
property on East Washington, near Noble
street, and the grounds of his request for
delay was that the sidewalk might soon
prove useless. He says the proposed viaduct
at the railroad crossing, If built, would do
away with the sidewalk and the expense to
the property owners would be without re-

EDITOR RIVER FALLS JOURNAL:
In your issue of the 9Th inst. / find
the following:
There are however just two papers in this
state that are constantly and persistently
throwing mud at Mr.. Haugen. No other papers
are resorting to this unfair and reprehensible
kind of tactics. These two papers are the
State Journal and the Star and Times, one
owned by III. A Taylor and both supporting
hun for goyorner.
am at a loss 10 know why a paper
uniformity as fair as yours, should
make statement so directly at
variance with the facts. The simple
truth is, that the State Journal has
never published a line or word deroga-
tory TO Mr.. Haugen personally or as
"A candidate for governor. Its files are
open TO you, and an examination of
them will verify this statement. On
the contrary. when Mr. Haugen an
nouced his candidacy for governor, the
State Journal spoke of him in the
most fiattering terms, and you copied
the article into your paper as an en-
dorsement of him which you approved.
| write this not for any political pur-
pose, because it can serve none, but to
correct your error, and place myself
right before my old neighbors and
friends. III. a. TAYLOR.
1t is well known that Mr.. Haugen
is Mr.. Tavior's most formidable rival
i'm the race for the nomination for
governor. IT will be remembered
also that Mr.. Haugen has been twice
candidate for assembly, twice
candidate for railroad commissioner,
and four times a candidate for
member of congress and has never
failed of nomination and election.
Mr.. Taylor is too shrewd politician
TO come out in open abuse of Mr..
Haugen, for he well knows that
that course would fail of its object,
consequently his campaign against
his rival has been with the design
mostly of depreciation and insinua-
tion, although many statements have
been made in the State Journal
directly rejecting upon his political
course. Mr.. Haugen's vote on the
oleomargarine bill didn't suit Mr.
Taylor for campaign purposes, he
didn't want Haugen nominated be-
cause he defended the Bennett law in
1890, but his animus appears when it
is seen that he opposed Koch's NOM
inatiOn because Koch wouldn't de-
fend the Bennett law in 1890. Where
was Taylor at on the Bennett law?) As
to the praise of Mr.. Haugen in the
State Journal it has been OF that
character calculated TO damn it's
object. Mr.. Taylor's friendship for
Mr. Haugen is of that disinterested
kind that only looks to the latter's
welfare and advantage. Mr.. Haugen
lisa good man but he has been terribly
deceived by his friends!' and Mr..
Taylor wants to save him from dire
disaster. He can't be nominated
and he ought to have sense enough to
know it. Mr.. Haugen is so unsophisti-
Gated that he thinks he can get the
delegation from Dane county! He is
very unwise, his fool friends" are
getting him into deep hole! oh yes,
your old neighbors understand you
pretty well.

The strike that has paralyZed
business by the interference with the
movement of trains is about ended.
Traffic is being rapidly reestablished
and business seeking its normal condi-
ton. While immense loss has result
ed to all classes and the whole country
greater damage falls to the indus
trials engaged in the strike, in the
loss of wages, positions and prestige.
The strike TO boycott railroads be-
cause of a local grievance was i'll
advised and ought to have failed.
And while business regains its accus-
toned condition on the railways there
are many grave questions resulting
from the strike that the courts must
settle: the responsibility of interfer-
ence with u. 5. mails and interstate
commerce and the destruction of
property and loss of life: the liability
of corporations for the destruction of
railway and other property. 1t is
generally understood that cities must
make good to owners the loss of
property resulting from tlob violence.
The prime movers in the strike in
Guiding Debs have already been indict-
ed. 1t is believed the permanent
results will be favorable to law and
stability.

Disclaiming any desire or intention
of intimating anything to the detri-
ment of any one of the distinguished
candidates for governor we wish to
call attention to the universally
acknowledged fact that Mr.. Haugen
possesses all those positive qualities
that make strong candidate and
none of the negative that weaken one.
The contest for the nomination
seems now to be between the two
most prominent candidates, Haugen
and Taylor. The remaining candi
dates will probably receive only the
home vote as compliment of good
will. But the contest is apparently
between these two. While Mr..
Taylor, we believe has never served in
but one elective office, that of State
Senator, he has a wide reputation asa
journalist and a party leader. His
services To his party have been recog-
nized by the general government by
his appointment to France as a
consul. u. 5. railroad Commissioner
and manager of the government ex-
hibit at the Worlds Columbian
exhibition. Mr.. Taylor is an able
man and if nominated and elected he
will make wise and safe governor.
Mr.. Haugen, though born in the
land of the midnight sun has lived in
this country from early childhood
and no man is more thoroughly
American who boasts of an unbroken
ancestry from the Pilgrim Fathers.
His experience in public life is more
extensive and varied than any other
man mentioned for governor. His
long service in public offices has given
him exceptional opportunities of
which he has taken the greatest
advantage resulting in extensive
knowledge and ability TO grasp any
situation of politics or statescraft.
His industry, courage and persistence
are of the highest order. His habits
have always been strictly temperate,
his social life unblemished, his deal
ings upright, his bearing unostenta-
tious. His private life needs no ex-
cuse, his public career no apology. He
is progressive and uncompromising
republican, in short he is just such a
man "a .he times demand FOR governor
of the great commonwealth Of Wis
cOnsin.
