La Toilette and myself to compass the
election or defeat of any republican to
any office. I never have been and am
not now and have no idea that I ever
shall be candidate for the United

contrary of any of these statements is

Onded the nomination of Maj. ScOfieId,
the mention of whose name set the con-
yention into an uproar of enthusiasm
and applause, which was frequently re-
peated during the speakers f1ve-minute
talk.
Henry Sandford Of Calumet county
seconded the nomination of Baensch.
At this juncture Gen. Griffin stepped
among the spectators and brought :
Thurston to a chair by his side. V g

response to them the senator spoke
briefly.
For the seventh district W. L. Hou-
ser of MondOyi spoke of Bradford

nation of Scofeld. At the call of the

Ashland seconded the nomination Of
La Toilette, while S. S. Fifeld, also of

of the tenth district, spoke vigorously

Fourth Ballot.
Following is the result of the fou

The fourth ballot showed Scofield a
net gain of fl from the start and his
followers went wild with enthusiasm
and skirmishing for assistance. The
second district lobbied with the first
and threatened to go solid to Baensch
unless the first came to La Toilette
The result of the ballot showed a
gain of two for each in the first dis
trict. The seventh district gave SEQ
field gain of four from La Toilette
and st. CrioX changed her ten votes
from Bradford to Scofeld, bringing his
tatol to 1851 to $50 for La Toilette,
which he held solid for three ballots.
Pandemonium reigned and cries OF
Baensch intermingled with motions to
adjourn and shouts of no" The
first and second districts both clam
ored for a break to Baensch, while the
Scofield men seemed determined to
force continuous work to apparent VIC
tory. A motion to proceed to the
fifth ballot was amended by one by
Kress of Manitowoc to adjourn till
p. m, and a viva voce vote clearly
showed it lost when a division was
called for. The vote on adjournment
till p. m. resulted in a victory for the
Scofield men.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-08-13

ScOfield men were jubilant over the re-
suit, while the Baensch men again
worked hard to secure break from La
Toilette to their ranks. Scofield was
within 171a votes of victory and a ma
jority Of his friends as we'll as many
spectators regarded his victory sure
The caUcusing showed that Racine
county was more than likely to go tC
Scofeld, which with, EstabrooI's three
votes in the fourth district would nom
mate him, which was counted a GER
tainty.
The call of the first district showed
q heavy flop to ScofieId, 20 Of Rocks
votes going for Scofield, and the dis
trict giving him 50 to Is for La Fol
lette The announcement took the con-
vention off its feet and set it wild with
shouts for Sccfield.
In the second district La Toilette
held his solid vote except one, which
went to Baensch, Dodge remaining
with Scofeld.
Aside from the Scofield men every
body was at sea. 1t was apparently
impossible to make any combination
whereby any other man should be nom
mated. All possible efforts were made
to stampede the convention to Baensch,
but the Scof1eld ranks were believed
impregnable, if Racine went to him in
the first district call, which was re-
garded a practical certainty.
While the ballot of the fourth was
being taken H. C. Adams moved that
the nomination of Scofield be made
unanimous. Mr.. Krez of Manitowoc,
in behalf of the Baensch men, sec
onded the motion.
w. T. Houser, for Mr.. Bradford, also
seconded the motion, and it was
passed with one unanimous shout.
Rest of Old Ticket.
A motion was then made to nominate
the balance of the OLD state ticket BY
reclamation. This was carried unani-
and the old ticket was renom-
mated with ScofieId to head it.
Judge Classon Of the ninth district,
moved that committee of three be
to notify the nominees and
bring them before the convention.
The chair appointed Judge CIasson, H. !
c. Adams of Madison and H. C. Kress |
Of Manitowoc as that committee, and
they Immediately left the hall on their |
mission.
While waiting, a unanimous vote of |
thanks was extended to Gen. Griffin |
for the able and impartial manner in
which he had presided. Gen. Griffin
responded in feeling manner, saying
ne had never had the pleasure of pre-
siding over a more able or harmonious
convention, and said his thanks were

There is no doubt that all animals
wild or tame, four-footed or With wings.
have a deSp-seated aversion to we:
weather. Even water fowl will seek a
dry hiding-place when it rains.
Did you ever watch tie actions of
cattle before big storm? If so, you
must have seen them grow more and
more uneasy as the clouds threatened.
You also saw them run up and down
the field, as If seeking to escape some
impending danger. Finally, when the
stern comes, they draw closely togeth-
er, and, with lowered heads, present a.
picture of despair.
Whei 1t rains the domestic animals
always keep indoors, or, failing that,
they seek she tered places and creep be-
meath the hedges and thickets-in short.
In any convenient place where they are
not entirely exposed to the downpour.
1t Is the same with fowls. They dis
like the rain, which soaks their feath-
ers. rhey seek sheltered places, and
creeI, under wagons and squeeze in be-
hind boxes and boards. Chickens do
not mind wettng their feet as they
will scratch the muddy ground soon
after a shower in search OF worms and
bugs.
Wild birds do their best to keep uut
of the rain. They find shelter in many
ways. Some Of them build roof oger
their nests. in which they keep more or
less dry Others choosela house under
the caves, or under a projecting cliff.
where they are safe from the discom-
forts that the rain brings, But most
OF thom are without any adequate shell
ter that is the result of their own fore
thought. They take refuge In any pace
that they happen to find at hand. IF
you watch them before the coming of
the storm, you will see them looking
around for shelter. II the storm comes
suddenly. the small and helpless ones
seem bewildercd. flying from cree tn
tree and from limb to limb, quite un-
able to make up their minds to tens
porary Al llng-place.

To be without faults is to be without

No man loves God with all his heart
who loves to tell bad news.
Nothing can convince the lazy man
