Black burn Docs Not Win.

The scandalous political work of the
past two months III the Kentucky legis-
Iatnre is certainly strong argument in
favor Of electing /. s. Senators by the
people. No result could be much more
unsatisfactory than the outcome of this
contest. Excitement has been at the
highest point, men have risked their
lives and lost them, in their efforts To
secure victory for their friends. And
now after all they adjourn without ac-
comprising anything. Gov Bradley
has been harshly criticised for calling
out the mlitia, he has been burned in
etfigy, and he has been threatened With
impeachment. What else could he do?
Aiidavits were filed to the effect that
members had been deprived of their
rights to vote, Of the privilege to so to
and from the halls of legislature, and
many other disagreeablc charges which
IT IS needless TO mention were reported,
and when lie was asked for protection
he ordered it, and made it possible to
again get down TO business and if they
wished, elect Senator. From the ac-
tons toward Governor Bradley bv the
legislature, it looks as if il would have
been good thing had he had the pow
er TO compelled an election

State Convention.

Chairman Jones of the state central
committee called the state convention
to order in Milwaukee on "Wednesday,
at I2::O. I'm immense crowd thronged
the Academy of Music. 1t is claimed
that it was The largest and most orderly
convention ever held in the state. 1t
was officially announced that there was
not contested delegation in the con
rentIon, so the formal reading of the
list was dispensed with.
Mr.. J. Esch, popular La Crosse Re
publican was chosen chairman, and
made a very good speech, which was
received with great enthusiasm. The
following platform was adopted:
THE Republicans of Wisconsin, in
convention assembled renew their de-
votion to the doctrine of protection
We believe in an adjustment of tariff
duties for the two-fold purpose being
sufficient revenue to meet all the re-
quiremcnts Of the government and to
furnish reasonable and adequate pro-
lection to American industries-a tariff
for revenue and protection.
We also renew our allegiance to the
doctrine of reciprocity We favor as
logical and beneficial result of prOtec-
tive tariff laws. mutual trade arrange

provide for our manufacturers and pro-
ducers a market for their surplus pro-
duct, and at the same time enable us TO

conditions such articles as they produce
and We need 10 purchase
The Republicans of Wisconsin, un-
yielding in their demand for honest
money are unalterably opposed to any
scheme that will give to tins country
deprecated or debased currency. We
favor the use Of silver as currency but
to the extent only and under sucn re-
strlctions that IFS parity with gold can

permission to present a resolution and
having obtained consent, Mr.. Adams
presented the Mckinley resolution as
follows:
Resolved, that the Republicans OF
Wisconsin recognize in Hon. William
Mckinley, of Ohio, the most distin-
guished champion of the Republican
policy of protection and reciprocity,
that we honor him as the defender of
sound system of finance, and believe in
him as a type of the best American
citizenship in both private and public
life
And we hereby express to the dele
gates elected to the St Louis convention
our judgment that they should use all
reasonable efforts to secure bis nomina-
ton for the presidency"

Judge Severance of the 9th Judicial
district of Minnesota, seems to have
inadvisedlv laid aside his usual good
sense, and at a recent gathering TO COM
memorate the anniversary of Robert
Emmett, stopped over more unadulter-
ated swash in regard to his hatred for
England than would fill a wash-tub.
OF course we have been always a great
advocate of giving judges the respect
due TO their exalted station, but When
one of their number sees ut to publicly
talk such arrant nonsense as did Judge
Severance at this anniversary, we must
confess our respect for the Bench oc-
cupiers is good deal shaken. Just
think of Judge who Is supposed to be
a scholar, and student of history,
standing up and declaring that lone of
the worst crimes of England was the
destruction of the fraternity of Chris
tiauity", There never would have
been" he continues, ANY trouble be-
tween Catholics and Protestants but
for England. Doubtless the Judge
means when he says this that had 1t
not been for England there would have
been but one church in the world, and
that would have been the Catholic.
This may have been the best thing for
the world, but there is certainly enough
doubt on that subject among the pres
ent inhabitants of the world, to make
even a respectable Judge seem good
deal off color who at this day calls it a
crime to have helped Professionalism
hold its own in the affairs Of the world
against Catholicism.
And then before he is through the
Judge gets in the stereotyped apostro-
phe to the glorious Russian Bear, as if
that despotic ruler of the North, was an
animal that freedom loving American
should admire.
Then the Judge in his vindictive spite
against England is careless of his facts,
altogether too careless for a Daniel
come to judgment.
He SAYS England France and Spain
sent armies to Mexico to establish a
monarchy which is not true as England
made no such attempt ard did not par
ticipate in the establishing of the Maxi
milan monarchy in Mexico. Really
when Judge sees fit, or thinks it ad
visable to spit judicial fire upon great
nation like England, he ought to spit
truthful fire at least, which he has not
done in this reference to the Maximil-
ian government.

One little realizes how things that
seem very trivial of themselves, and
are Of only local importance, frequently
become national, yea, of international
significance when once started on their
travels. Here for instance in the case
of Judge Severance, referred to above;
that speaking of his mind before an
Emmett Club in Mankato was sent on
lightning's wing across the ocean and
lo, Alfred Austin, the rhymIng guar
dian of Britain's glory, picks up the
Judges challenge for fight and thus
replies: We copy the poem as We find
il published in the Court Nelocipede,
the society journal of the upper classes,
at Winsor, England. Austin takes as
text for his poem this extract from the
Judge speech:

that YOU cant make good pope out OF an

One thing in the presidential nom
mating outlook is most encouraging,
and that is the general drift of public
sentiment towards Mckinley. Itseems
to be almost certainty that he will be
nominated on the first ballot, as he
should be. 1t was the Mckinley tariff
bill that the Democracy especially
prided themselves on overthrowing,
and they succeeded, and bankrupted
the country in consequence. And now
let us have for a standard bearer the
author of that very tariff bill as evidence
that the party plants itself squarely
upon that issue without single reser-
Walton. The country has had enough
of Democracy Poverty and Free Trade
Let us go back to Republicanism-Pros-
perity and Protection.
