1t may be interesting to the people
of Watertown to know that William j.

nominee, was a classmate in 1880 at
Union College of Law, Chicago, of Lee

Regarding our 4th of July celebra-
ton The Juneau Telephone says: IVA
tertown drew the largest number from
this vicinity. For twenty years past
there has been no celebration there,
but all that was lost was more than made
up.this year. The industrial parade
was the best ever seen in Wisconsin.

Some of our local wheelmen are
agitating the question of bicycle meet
to be held the latter part of August
under L. A. w. auspices. 1t is the OBJ
iect to have races for both amateurs
and professionals, covering a period
of two or three days. This matter
should receive attention and have the
hearty cooperation of business men.
1t is claimed that either the track at
the old fair grounds or the Cole track
in the Fifth ward could be placed in
condition at small outlay, and the
meet would serve to bring hosts Of
strangers to our city. Two thousand
wheelmen attended the meet at Apple
ton last week; why can't we have as
many here in August? Our location is
more favorable than that of Appleton.
The local Democratic brethren are
all at sea over the action of the Chicago
convention. Only few can swallow
the bitter pill, and many are out-spoken
in their reputation OF the disgraceful
platform and say they swill vote for
Mckinley, believing that course to be
the duty of every American citizen de-
sirous of unfolding his nations credit.
Some would prefer having a candidate
of the party's gold wing, but such ac-
ton, it is generally conceded, would
only increase the silverites' chances
for success. On the Whole, the old
line Democrats Of Watertown (not
those with the modernized Populistic
tendencies may be counted as in favor
of the money principles elucidated by
the Republican platform, and a major
ity of them will probably SO cast their
votes.
