Evening Wisconsin: There is one
noteworthy thing about the character
of large part of the support rendered
by Republican newspapers to ex-Con-
gresham h. NJ. LaFollette in his can
didacy for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton of the Republican party. 1t is
that so far hardly single paper which
is in his favor has endorsed him with
out bitterly attacking other prominent
Republicans. The editorials written
for him are nearly all in the tone of
ex-Gov. Hoard's letter to the Cumber-
land Advocate. 1t is unfortunate. to
say the least, for Republicans to APP
peal to Republicans. saying. Support
this man out Of hatred for somebody
else"
The Wisconsin respects the ability
Of Mr.. LaFollette and recognizes hi.
honesty. 1t believes that the candi
dacy Of any good Republican is emit
tied TO fair consideration. 1t make,
no criticism OF Mr.. LaFollette; but il
feels called upon in the interest OF
good manners and the welfare Of tn,
Republican party-to say nothing o
the general welfare, which it believe
depends largely n this time on Re

geld methods into the politics of Wis
consin.
1t is damnable thing to try to set
class against class, when class inter-
ests are not in fact antagonistic. This
is an emergency when rich and poor
are suffering alike. and when rene
dies are needed to relieve the whole
body polite. The wisest and broadest
statesmanshipis called for to cure the
ills of the time mot the narrow polit-
ical cunning which appeals to envy
and prejudice.
Mr.. LaFollette is young man and
an able man, with experience which
should make him useful to the people,
1t is to be hoped that if ne has infiu-
ence with his fool friends he will call
them off at once from a course which
is hoodooing his future.

1t was Madison politician, sent to
Grant county to tell the republicans
of this benighted region whom they
should support for governor, who
said that McGregor ought to withdraw
from the race and give LaFollette fall
swing. Because" he remarked, If
McGregor does not pull out he viii
be terribly Inundated, for We are 90
ing to beat him. Republicans Of
Grant county, how do you like the
boasts of Dane county would-be boss
es that ''we'' will beat your candidate
in his own home? Won't it be good
plan to let these Capital wire-pullers
know that Grant county will not OIL
low their impudent dictation? We
have candidate in our own county,
the peer, in all the qualities that will
make good governor, of any man be-
fore the people. The republicans of
this county cannot afford to throw
over man like McGregor to further
the schemes of a few designing poll
ticians.

Treasury Gases settled.

The State Journal some days ago
announced that there would soon
transpire a matter of news thai would
surprise and crafty the taxpayers of
the state. 1t related to steps that
were being taken by Senator SAWYER
to forever dispose Of the vexatious
treasury cases, and guarantee to the
people that the state would never be
called upon to reimburse the treasur-
ers or their bondsmen for moneys
paid on the treasury suits.
Here are the facts, and the papers
will all be filed with the governor in a
few days. Senator Sawyer has paid
TO Harshaw and Guenther and their
bondsmen all moneys collected from
them and taken legal releases, so that
all the claims, if any existed against
the state, are vested in him. He will
file these releases with the governor
and also letter in which he will de-
clare That neither he nor any of his
heirs or anybody on his behalf, shall
ever make any claim for, or receive a
dollar from the state in connection
with the treasury cases. He will
memorabilia the legislature never to
entertain any claim of any nature
whatsoever, growing out of the treasury
suits. He will ask that the releases
which he files and his agreement be
transmitted by the governor to the
next legislature and spread upon the
records of the state.
This closes the treasury contro-
versy. The people can now feel Sc
cure that this matter is forever set
tied, and democratic politicians can
no longer brighten the voters with
ghosts of the treasury eases. The pa
pers will be filed soon and published
so that everybody can see how salts
factorily the matter has been adjusted.

SPECIAL POINTS TO NOTICE.

We are not trying to put off an OLD
out-of-date atlas, but offer you the
very latest 1896 edition for the same
price the book was formerly sold at.
The merchants pledge their business
honor to quote the same price to cou.
pom holders as to others.
You do moi have to buy goods you
do not want or need, but purchase
only the usual necessities of life. The
Atlas has 1872 pages, 12x15 in size. II
has over so railroad and county maps
of all the states and territories, show
ing even the smallest towns.
There are more than forty Of the
principal cities of the q. S. showing
names of streets and prominent
points. Over 200 foreign countries
infinitely laid out. Chronological
history of the U. S. with maps. II
Illustrated description of domestic and
foreign lands. Statistical charts and
tables Of useful information. Alpha
betical index of every town in the U.
s.. showing six things about each one,
etc., etc. 1t is impossible to give an
intelligent idea of what the atlas con-
tains, and the value it will be to every
home.
1t must be seen to be fully appreci-
ated. A representative of the pub
Usher will call on the people of this
vicinity and give all an opportunity
to examine it.

For five weeks lived on cold wa
ter, so to speak, writes a man who
suffered terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on
his stomach. What stayed wasn't
properly digested and gave him ter
rible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case.
Dyspeptics don't get enough nourish-
ment. They are generally thin and
weak.
They may eat enough but they don't
digest enough Much of what they
eat turns into poison. If this keeps
on there's no telling what disease they
may get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker
Digestive Cordial as soon as symptoms
OF indigestion appear.
1t cures all the evils of indigestion
and prevents the evils which indiges-
ton causes.

for various reasons it viii not b.
deemed wise to take candidate from
Milwaukee this year. Who of the
other candidates would be more likely
l. receive support in case of a pro-
longed contest than McGregor, a man
universally recognized as able, honest
nd having no damaging political al
.iances?
A fourth reason lies in Platteville's
action in the past. Platteville Rep
ublicans have uniformly given loyal
and valuable support to Grant county
men for high offices and never before,
we believe, asked to have one of her
citizens placed on a state ticket. 1t
was Platteville man that presented
John d. Wilson's name to the last
state convention. The eloquent NOM
mating speech of PlattevilIe man
secured place on the state ticket for
David Schreiner in a previous conven-
ton. Platteville has given hearty
support to Hon. Geo. w. Ryland,
Judge Jos. Mills, Hon. j. A. Barber,
Judge George Clementson. and Hon.
j. G. Holloway for various high offices
Platteville now asks support for one
Of her worthy citizens for governor.
Can it be possible that the publicans
OF Grant county will brush aside
without consideration Platteyille's
just deserts and the candidacy of
citizen like Duncan McGregor? We
do not believe it.
MeGregor was a soldier. He en-
listed in company A of the 42nd Wis.
Init. and served as captain till the
close of the war. His record as a
soldier, like all his record, is honorable.
There is not soldier among the
state officers seeking denomination
and unless soldier is placed at the
head of the ticket the boys in blue"
are not likely to be recognized at all
in state politics. 1t lies largely with
the soldiers of Grant county to say
McGregor shall have the
support of Grant county. Veterans
are you interested or do yon prefer to
be brushed aside?

Madison State Journals There will
be no contest in this county over the
election Of delegates to the state con-
vention. Those who do not always
approve of his political ambitions and
methods, hold to the same position
that they held two years ago, that a
home candidate, if he is qualified for
the office he seeks. should not be OPP
posed by his neighbors They believe

Ii may not be out of place to re-
mark that the HERALD is now and al

cable foe. The editor of the HERALD
sincerely desires the success and ad-
vancement OF the brilliant little ex-
congressman while the Teller man
would gloat with malignant glee at
his political downfalls and burial.
Readers have only to recall the malic
ious and despicable assaults on LaFol
1ette's career and character made b,
the Teller in the congressional cam
paigns Of Burr W Jones and 4

popocrat is the Word.

Times Herald: Senator Hill said
the other day. Il am a democrat but
not revolutionist. SO say the seven
ty-fiive newspapers and thousands Of
sound money democrats who have al
ready bolted the Chicago ticket in
such numbers as to make the bolt a
landslide. Never in the history OF
American politics has there been such
an emigration of voters from one side
to the other at the very beginning OF
the campaign.
Real democrats, almost to a man,
repudiate the Chicago convention as
anything but democratic. Already
they have ceased to speak Of it as a
democratic convention. Some call it
populistic-democratic and some the
senior populistic convention, to dis
tinguish it from the junior populistic
convention soon to meet in St. Louis.
There is genera disposition, how
ever, to accept the descriptive word
coined by IN editorial contributor to
The Times-Herald-p opocratic; and
popocrat and popocratic are likely to
appear often in the journalism and
literature of the campaign.
A popocrat is populist who has
stolen the democratic livery, or a dem
ocrat who has subordinated his democ-
racy to the revolutionary theories and
base purposes of populism. He is a
democrat who is revolutionist. No
other word exactly conveys the idea.
1t is hybrid word to describe a hy-
brid party and it fits like a glove.
The English language is welcome to it,
with the compliments of The Times
Herald.
