ernatorial candidate. One tickle
mind in the governors chair GER
tainly does not call for another.
Mckinley will go into the St
Louis convention with 10 of the
10 delegates from louisiana. There
are regions, itnseems, where Joe
Foraker can't stop the tidal wave
successfully.
There is but one sure way to
strengthen ones self politically
and that is to do right and not try
to strengthen ones self That is a
good rule for all ofice-holders
from the governor down.
A good football team, a rowing
crew and college yell seem to be
the leading things, says the Chica-
go Inter Ocean, of too many mod
crn universities. We think so too.
1t is probably most properly
put that Mckinley is Wisconsin,
candidate until after the conven-
ton, then the nominee, whether
Mckinley or someone else, will
be its candidate.
Gov. Upham can console him
self with the thought that in sew
cral other states besides Wiscon-
sin, efforts are being made TO GUST
the Governors at the end Of their
first term. Indications are that
the efforts will be successful in
some cases.
An exchange thought it strange
that MIR, Haugen was appointed a
Normal school regent, he being
opposed to the denomination of
Gov Upham. Nothing singular
about that. 1t might be hard to
find anybody who favored Gov.
Upham's denomination.
When a man who has devoted
fifty years to efforts in behalf Of
the Democratic party, as ex-Con-
gresham Clinton BabDitt, Of Be
lott, has done, and then say, in
speech to farmers, as he did two
weeks ago at Milton Junction, Il
don't know whether | am a Demo-
crat or not, but | do hope | am
Christian" there is still reason to
believe that there are no sinners so
far along on the way that they
may not be properly cared for.
In every community there are
prominent men who are known to
be for Mckinley first, last, and all
the time; they don't need to be
"instructed;' they know they rep
resent the overwhelming sentiment
Of the people, not only Republi-
cans, but vast number who have
heretofore been Democrats but who
are tined of seeing the country
rapidly going to the devil under
Democratic incompetency, Mr..
Mckinley is the popular choice
and his friends should rally at the
primaries and fight the battle clear
up through. But above all, attend
the primaries and start Alright
ManitoWoc Tribune.
Governor Morton of New York
has behind his presidential boom
the Plat combine that is pledged
to the Maine man, and also his
great fortune The Reed boom
has behind it the Platt combine.
The Allison boom is being backed
by emissarics passing through the
country securing the publication
of articles favorable to their candi-
date, and the Mckinley boom
booms itself Why? Because that
boom is borne in the hearts of the
rank and file of the Republican
party, and also because tens of
thousands of Protection Democrats
would be willing to vote for Nc
kinley, a superb man. a great
statesman, the out and out friend
of the common people and of the
great Nation.

MURDERER AND BIGAMIST.
Tracing the Criminal Record OF Suicide
Alsop.


Seattle, Wash, April 24.-James e.
Alsop, who was arrested in this city
April 16, for the murder in August,
1894, of Miss Lena Olsen, of Duluth,
Mimi, and committed suicide by hang
ing while in the city Jail, was not only
the murderer and possibly multi-mur-
derer, as now seems certain, but he was
a bigamist as we'll
Emma Alsop, of Salt Lake City,
claims to have been the criminals wife.
Unlike the Tacoma widow, she was not
disposed to desert her erring husband
when in trouble, for she sent him mon
ey and messages of love while in Jail
in this city. They were not, however,
delivered for the Salt Lake Mrs. Alsop
upon learning from newspaper des-
patches of her husbands suicide, wired
the postoffice authorities TO return her
letters and her request was complied
with. The police believe Alsop had
something to do with the murder in
Seattle of Mrs. Charlotte Fetting on
the night of September 4, 1898, and also
the murder in Tacoma of her son-in
law, James King, who was shot and
his body thrown into the river on the
evening of November II, 1898.
After gagging her. the murderer
crushed Mrs. lettings skull in with a
stove cover, her life having been taken
in much the same manner as that of
Miss Olsen at Duluth. She was wo-
man so years of age, and the crime was
committed for $500, that amount of
money having been taken f,om her
trunk.

pcD" No Change in Prices.

meeting OF the steel billet pool recent
ly formed in New York, was held at the

formation of the pool. After adjourn
merit this evening, the only announce
ment made by the members was that
no change in prices had been made, and
thG. George S. GriscOm has been ap-
pointed commissioner.
The report from various mills proved
that business was not brick, and it was
recommended that slight reduction OF

steady the market. The middlemen,
who have considerable stock on hand,
nave been selling billets at $3.50, and
this stock will likely last until October

A. P. A. AGAINST BLAND.
He Will BE Opposed Because His Wife is a
Catholic.

Catholic.
st. Louis, April 24.-The Republic
to-day sayg: Every indication points
to a bitter fight on Silver Dick" Bland
in the event of an effort being made in
the Chicago convention to nominate
him for the Presidency of the United
States. 1t has leaked out that Mrs.
Bland is a devout member of The Cath
Ollie Church and has raised her children
in that faith. The opposition to the
nomination Of the great 16 to l free sill
yer apostle will come from the MEM
bers o. the A. p. A. AS far as could
be learned here. Bland is not mem
ber of the church. and is inclined to be
liberal in his views on religious sub
jects. burt the members of the secret
religio-political organization that will
oppose mis- nomination and hi5 dele
gates. if he succeeds in being nominat-
ed in spite of their opposition, will not
spare him for that. 1t is sufficient for
them TO know that a member OF the
family is allied to the church of Rome
to lead them to make fight on any
man who seeks political preferment.
An authoritative announcement that
the A. p. A. would fight BANDS nomi-
nation and election was given to re-
porter by Judge Stevens, State presi-
dent of the order for Missouri, and
membergof the National Executive
Board. He said that he had not an op-
pOrtunity to investigate the matter. but
if it were true Nhat any member of the
family OF the Lebanon man is a member
of the church, the order OF which he is
the official head in Missouri, would eX-
ert its utmost power 10 prevent Bland'S
nomination, and, failing in that, the
full strength of the organization will be
used against him at the polls.

Coal Scale


Coal Scale
Terra Haute, Ind, April 24.-The
conference between the miners and the
Indiana block coal operators has ended
in disagreement. The miners conven-

discussion, the miners agreed to accept
81 cents, but the operators committee
refused to go above SO cents. The
miners committee reported back to the

in Clay county, there are now 5000
men on a strike because of local diff
ferences, and the Ehrmann Company's
miners are idle from similar causes.

of the miners will be acceded to If the

tors he would order suspension in the
