Condition of Trade.

The week began with extreme depres-
sion in stock and speculative markets,
owing to the heavy outgo of gold and
the fall of the Treasury reserve below
the minimum. The populist and silver
conventions caused some apprehension,
and large Withdrawals Of gold for hoard
ing were rather feared than seen.
Stocks fell rapidly and on Monday aver
aged lower than at any time this year
or during the Venezuela alarm in De-
cember, when the lowest average was
$500 for railroads and $46.O2 for Trusts,
but at the close on Monday averages
were 343. - for railroads and $3.50 for
Trusts. Then came sharp recovery
with the union of banks to turn 500, O,OO0,-
900 gold into the Treasury, and Of inter
national bankers to control foreign
exchange, and the averages rose on
Friday to $44.56 and $44 n. The gold
reserve has been quickly lifted above
100000, 900, and political events have
helped to clear away apprehension.
Business of all kinds has been consider
ably affected by the monetary condi-
tiOns and is slower to improve.

| This is a statement Of the question.
pure and simple. 1t has never been
before presented for the reason. as we
believe, that the present is the first
time in Wisconsin that the chairman
of a Central COZ mittee has been
found who dared to claim for himself
the right and power TO override and
annul the express wishes and Opin-
ions Of his associates of the commit
tee. Such is in substance the claim
so far made in support Of Mr.. Coles
action. because there is not and never
has been any pretense. even. that the
call issued by the majority was unfair
to any section. interest or individual.
Mr.. Cole has complained. as we
understand. that we were diScOurteOuS
to him in some way: and also that the
call made by Us was not authorized by
the committee at a meeting thereof
regularly called. To this it is an
Swered that we treated Mr.. Cole
cOurteOusly until he went voluntarily
out Of the State, and beyond our
reach. After that we were compelled
to act without him. And the same
reason answers his objection that
full meeting of the committee was
not had. He is in no position to
complain after having left the State,
and thereby rendered full meeting
impOSSible: and he is the only mem
ber of the committee from whom
complaint has been heard. Every
member Of the committee in the
State was consulted, and a majority
Of the whole number united in the
call. 1t has also been asserted that
Mr.. Alexander has ceased to be a
resident of Wood county, and that
his place on the committee is there
by vacated. This could not help Mr..
Cole if true; but it is absolutely with
out foundation in truth, as he and
his supporters ought to know, and as
will be cOncluSiyely shown at the
proper time.
This paper is longer than we
intended. 1t contains no statement
except such as are in accordance with
the full and exact truth concerning
the subject mentioned, in all sub
Stantial respects. We submit it in
the hope and expectation that it will
aid those whose duty it will be to
judge between those who shall claim
seats from Wood county in the State
and Congressional Conventions by
authority Of the said County COnyen-
tiOnS, respectively, in arriving at the
truth of the matters involved in a
most unpleasant, and as we believe
wholly unnecessary, controversy,

Divided in Wood County.

MARsHFIELD, Wis, July 81: There
are two factions of the Republicans in
the county both striving for supremacy.
During County Chairman Coles absence
at st. Louis, attending the Republican
convention, few members ofthe county
committee from the lower end of the
county issued a call for a county conven-
ton to be held in Grand Rapids on July
p. Upon Chairman Coles return he
assumed the rights, which were his by
virtue of office, and he issued call for
a convention to be held in Marshfeld
on the Goth. The members of the Re-
publican party of the lower end of the
county have elected their delegates and
instructed them for Minor for Congress,
appointed county committee and ar
ranged everything as though this end
were out of existence, although this
section was not represented in their
convention. After Marshfeld's conven-
ton is held, and delegates nominated,
trouble is looked for between the two
factions.
In the town of Auburndale, this
county. a strong Republican community
hardly a man can be found who is not
an avowed silverite at this time A like
condition exists in every Republican
town around here. In this city Repub-
licans who heretofore have been
prominent in the party, but who do
not like to openly say it, have told
your correspondent that Bryan and
Sewall will be their choice next fall.
The above appeared in the Milwaukee
Journal Monday. In keeping with all
articles that eminate from Marshfeld
this is about as windy as any.

Prof. Fontana and his assistants

gives an entertainment which is GER
tainly entertaining whether instructive
or not. Just how much is entitled to
merit in his performances we will leave
to those who are sufficiently interested
to attend and judge for themselves.
There is a quotation which reads:
THE people love to be humbugged."
Some might believe that they are hum
bugged here.

Bradley Pulling Arrested for Forgery

B. W. Pulling, a real estate dealer
and insurance agent of Marshteld and
also member of Gov. Upham's staff,
who was arrested on the charge Of for
gerry late Saturday afternoon, appeared
in Justice Neelen's court at Milwaukee
Monday morning. BY consent the ex-
animation was continued until Aug. Z.
Bail was fixed at 900.
The complaint charges the defendant
with obtaining a loan of 500 from Mrs
Caroline Carpenter on mortgages, bonds
and abstracts of title to property in
Marathon county, alleged to have been
forged. Pulling's negotiations for loans
in Milwaukee were conducted through
S. Y. r. Hayes, a real estate and loan
agent, whose office is in the Matthews
building.
Pulling went to Milwaukee last win
ter, introduced himself to Mr.. Hayes
and produced a number of letters of
endorsement and recommendation. He
said he desired to negotiate some loans
on mortgage and bond for 500 on
the farm property Of August and Amelia
Leupke, in Marathon county. Hayes
let Pulling have the amount out of a
sum which had been placed in his
hands by Mrs. Carpenter. This was
the commencement of number of
similar transactions with Mr.. Hayes by
Pulling until the sum amounted to about
$1,000 all on securities on property in
Marathon county.
About two weeks since Mr.. Hayes dis
covered a deficit in the securities for
the Carpenter loan and wrote the regis
ter of deeds of Marathon county for in
formation and a correction. Mr.. Hayes
was informed by the official that he had
never issued the document and that
what purported to be his signature was
a forgery. The signatures of Leupke
and wife were also forgeries, the regis
ter wrote, as there was no bond or
mortgage registered by them. Besides,
it was ascertained that Leupke could
not write.
This led to the discovery by Mr..
Hayes that in other transactions with
Pulling the securities mad been forged
to the amount of $1,000 or in that neigh
borhood. Pulling was requested to
come to Milwaukee for an explanation.
A conference was held between the
Marshfield man, Mr.. Hayes and Attor-
neys J. V. Quarles for Mrs. Carpenter,
and n. S. Murphey for Mr.. Hayes.
Pulling denied that there was anything
wrong in his transactions, but offered to
secure Mr.. Hayes and proposed a settle
ment. This was refused and Pulling
returned to Marshfeld, promising to
come back. He did not do so at the
appointed time and a complaint was
drawn up by Attorney Quarles and a
warrant for Pulling's arrest was issued.
On Saturday afternoon information
came from Marshfeld that Pulling was
about to leave for Chicago or Milwau
kee. Fearing that he might pass
through unnotiCed Detective KOeller,
accompanied by Mr.. Hayes, met the
train at Rugby Junction, and Pulling
was placed under arrest and brought to
Milwaukee. He was locked up in the
county Jail.
