The resignation of Rev. DR.. John
son as rector of ST. Paul's Episcopal
church, to take effect on November /,
and the consequent removal of his
estimable family from our city, have
created widespread feelings of regret.
Especially to the parishioners of St.
! Paul's, who for two and one-half years
have been privileged in the minis
trations of faithful and devoted rec
tor. does the contemplated removal
hold deep and personal significance,
and they reluctantly yield assent to
the snndering of ties so long binding
together priest and his people. Oft
| spoken words of comfort and encour-
agement, and the betterment of parish
| life by his work will remain. To.his new
| field of labor he will bear the heartfelt
wishes for prosperity and success of his
old parishioners of St. Paul's, Water
town.
The free silverites held anott er
meeting at Turner Opera house last
Thursday evening, there being a large
audience present. w. II. Rogers, of
Madison, candidate for congressman,
and F. W. Won Cotzhausen, Of Milwau-
kee, were the speakers The former
is man of pleasing address, but the
latter's wild gestures and wilder raw
! ings are not associated greatly with
! dignity. Both speakers resurrected
! the old Bennett law issue and paid
some attention to the money question,
| but we failed to discover any enthusi-
asm in the audience or any evident
sympathy with what was said. A few
more speakers like Won Cotzhausen
here during the campaign and the sill
yer people will make a very slim show
/ ing. His principal remarks we're given
to roasting" the gold standard wing
of the Democratic party. He seems to
think these men have not the right to
vote as their consciences dictate.
