There is no State In the Union unless it
be Pennsylvania, that is more certainly
and handsomely Republican than Wis
consin. Milwaukee County alone promises
majority of Is, 900, something that has
been hitherto unknown Only the other
day l had talk with National Commit
teeman Payne, who is one OF the best
politicians in the country, man whose
Judgment is unerring, and he corroborates
what l have said

of supporting a platform that is not found
