PLEASANT PRAIRIE POLITICS
Republican Caucus Brings Out Crowd.
Dissatisfaction Expressed.

Ever since the memorable caucus OF
two years ago, it is cold day when
the town of Pleasant Prairie can't kick
up a good deal of politics to every acre
of her beautiful prairies, and the re-
publican caucus of Thursday night
shows that the average resident of our
western neighbor would rather go to
caucus than to go fishing. There were
1876 votes cast in the caucus, and when
they were counted it was found that
Lafayette Robinson had 95 of them and
Frank Shuart SO for chairman Of the
town board. The, supporters Of Shuart
claim that Robinson was nominated by
democratic votes, but Robinson says
every man who voted for him at the
caucus will support him at the polls.
At any rate there is dissatisfaction at
the result, and an independent caucus
is called for this afternoon, at which Il
full ticket will be nominated. Follow
ing are the names of those nominated
at the convention Thursday: Chairman,
Lafayette Robinson; first side, Thomas
Wallis; second side, Nicholas Brown;
treasurer. Thos. Yates; town clerk, H.
F. Rohlfng; assessor, p. I'll. Tobin.

the $4,000 which is for the specific
purpose of harbor making, we also get
an amount not named, and as we I'M

noshaites, we certainly ought to be
we'll pleased with the work done by our
efficient congressman; Ell. A. Cooper, in

Dor improvements. Mr.. Cooper has

GIudness Comes

With better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyo have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only. and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
IL in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but il in need of q laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infor1nedev everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Usedand gives most general satisfaction

WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1896.

ALTHOUGH the hardest work of the
campaign will not be on until the nomi-
nations for congress have been made,
writes our Washington correspondent,
things are already quite brisk at
the rooms of the republican congress
sional campaign committee, and much
literature is being sent out 1t is the
purpose of the committee to concentrate
its work upon those districts which may
reasonably be considered doubtful
Chairman Baocock hasn't the slightest
doubt about the republicans retaining
control of the house, but he will work
just as hard as though it were matter
of doubt, in order that the majority
may be as large as possible.

aroused enthusiasm among honest citi-
zens twenty years ago. He was second
to Blaine only on the first ballot for the
republican nomination to the presi-
dency, at Cincinnati, in 1876, and re-
tanned his strength till the break to
Hayes came after the fourth ballot. He
had become famous, in the cabinet of
President Grant, as the prosecutor of
the notorious whiskey ring. His abili-
ties, his honesty and fearlessness made
him leader of the reform element of
his party, and the object of the resent
ment of the men of the whiskey ring,
their friends and sympathizers.
Mr.. Bristow, though Kentuckian, at
the time of the rebellion was loyal to
the Union cause and served in the
Union army, fighting at Forts Henry
and Donelson, at Shiloh, where he was
wounded, and participating in the cap
ture of the confederate raider, General
John Morgan. He held responsible
civil offices in Kentucky, and his abil-
tiles finally attracted national attention.
President Grant appointed him solicitor
general, and in 1874 he was made sec
rotary of the treasury, an Office he re-
signed soon after the Cincinnati con-
vention in 1876. He made speeches
during the national canvass of 1876,
and addressed an assemblage of sew
eral thousand people in the State
House yard in Montpelier. His i'm
pressive manner, the force and cogency
of his argument, his clear, incisive
diction, without vociferation or orator.
ical flights, won that close, rapt atten-
ton from his great auditory, during a
two-hours' speech, that constitutes the
highest tribute to the power of
speaker. Vermont, under Judge Po-
lands leadership. supported Mr.. Bris-
tow at Cincinnati, and Vermonters al
ways entertained kindly feeling for
the great Kentuckian. Mr.. Bristow
never re-entered public life after 1876,
but became distinguished law prac-
titioner in New York City, where he
recently died, highly esteemed for his
great qualities of mind and character.
