Different Home Endorsements.

A correspondent of the Tribune
happened to be at Madison August
18th, when the senatorial convention
for that county was held, and from
the proceedings OF that convention it
is evident the Dane county people
are not united in opinion as to who
shall be elected United states senator
by the next legislature. After Capt.
q. y. Welton had been nominated for
senator Col. Warner, Of Windsor, in
troduced resolution that IL was the
sense Of the convention that John
G. Spooner" be reelected to the
United States. Two delegates spoke
vigorously against the resolution.
Col. Warner insisted that the resolu-
ton did not pledge the candidate to
vote for Mr.. spooner, but had been
introduced by MIN in the interest Of
harmony. On the call for the ayes
and noes the chairman was unable to
determine, as were most of the dele
gates. In the lobby many believed
the noes We're strongest. a division
was called for. The chair counted
and without telling how many stood
up on either side, declared the reso-
luton carried. Outsiders who count
ed say it was tie without the chair
man. At the time of the gubernato-
rial convention every delegate in
Dane county favored instructions for
Mr.. In Toilette. II was plain that
the people wanted him. From the
vote at the senatorial convention we
conclude that the people donf al
insist that the greatrairoad and cor
poration lawyer be returned to the
United States senate.

eign rivals easy entrance to this
great market. Unless all signs fail.
the nation Is about to swing back
again toward high protection, and
we may confidently affirm that, II
the next congress shall succeed in
passing a strongly protective meas
ure, the country will have rest from
tariff agitation for several years.
Argument for free-trade there will
be; but argument will avail little for
the change of the opinions of wealth
producers who still remember the
long months Of suffering which fol-
lowed the adoption of Mr.. Wilson's
"tariff for revenue only."-The Tex
tile Record.

SPANS Ugly Mood.


The campaign has been SO ongross-
ing that questions of foreign policy
and matters of Old World news have
been for few weeks almost ignored
by the American press. But for the
warmth Of home politics much dis
cussion would have resulted from
the report that Spain is deliberately
and carefully preparing to make an
appeal t. all the governments of
Europe for moral support as against
the United Stdtes in the controversy
concerning Cuba. The Spanish sold
iers have had frightful summer in
the distressed island, owing TO the
excessive heat and the ravages of
disease Little news of fighting has
been received, and there is no reason
to think that Spain Is making any
Roadway toward the suppression Of
the rebeliou. The Spanish governs
ment is making the most strenuous
efforts 10 increase the strength of the
Spanish navy with reference to a
possible conflict with the United
states. Our presidential election
may he followed BY the outbreak of
very serious troubles between our
government and that If tie stubborn
and bitter Spaniards. The prospect
is serious. From September Review
of Reviews.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our rernlnr correspondent

From our regular correspondent
wAsHIseToS. .. c., Aug. 1896
Mai. McKinley's letter Of accep-
lance meets and exceeds the expec-
tations of the republicans. 1t is a
mastery presentation of the reasons
why the republican party asks to be
again put in charge Of the govern
ment. Notwithstanding its wide
circulation through the newspapers
it will be sent out in pamphlet form
as a campaign document. Every re-
publican should not only read and
study this Letter himself, but he
should try to get his neighbcrs who
are IN doubt or who are opposed to
Mckinley and Hobart to do the
same. 1t covers every issue in the
campaign and states the position of
the republican party so plainly that
no man who reads it can misunder-
stand, unless his prejudice is strong
or than his judgment.
The hurried departure for Chicago
last week Of Chairman Faulkner, Of
the democratic congressional COM
mittee, and vice Chairman Stevens,
of the silver national committee, for
the purpose of comforting with Chair
man Jones, of the democratic ma
tional committee, who was forced
by Bryan to make his headquarters
in that city, instead of in Washing
ton wnere he wanted to be, is con-
nected with the heavy demands
which the populists have been max
ing upon the democrats since they
have been housed under the same
roof IN Washington. The utter fail
ure of the appeal Of Chairman Jones
to the people FOR contributions to
the democratic campaign fund will
also be discussed at the conference.
Only unwise democrats will try to
make capital out Of Chairman
Hanna's declaration, that the repub-
lican party has no hospitality to sill
Yer. Speaking of that declaration
Chairman Babcock, of the republic
can congressional committee said:
"The trouble is that the impression
Is sought to be created that the re-
publican party is against the use Of
silver entirely 1t Is nothing Of the
Kind. II wants 10 perpetuate exist
ing conditions with the very largest
and freest use of silver consistent
with keeping the silver dollar as
good as gold dollar. Silver money
circulates now on parity with gold.
Ninety per cent Of the money in
your pocket is silver money. | do
not see, therefore. how any capital
can be made out of Mr.. Hanna's
interview. He believes, as we all
believe, that gold must be the money
Of ultimate redemption, just as It Is
now
Senator Butler, OF North Carolina,
chairman of the populist national
committee, is said TO be schening to
get the Watson-Sewall business so
mixed up that both of them will be
| dropped and a new man named by
himself put up as Bryan's running
mate. He il also trying 70 80 manip-
ulate things that the populists will
come out of the campaign in better
shape than the democrats, and is
much more anxious to bring that
about than he is to help Bryan.
Butler is young man and he is
nursing his personal ambition and
INDUCING in some visionary hopes
of future political houors which will
never be given to populist. He is
a shrewder manager than the demo-
Gratis he has to cope with. and will
make trouble for the democrats be-
fore the campaign Il over.

ROBBERY AND
NEARLY MURDER
John Van Aiken the Victim
Of Two Desperate
Footpads.
His Throat Was Cut and He
Was Then Threwn Into
the Bay.
There Are Discrepancies in His Story
Which the Police Will
Investigate.

A bold robbery and attempted murder
upon John Van Aiken, 675 Mission street.
who is employed in the restaurant at the
En- porium.
After leaving the restaurant last night
Van Aiken says he went for stroll. He
walked along Market street in the direc-
ton of the ferry, and when he reached
Battery street two men accosted him.
One of them pretended to know him
and tried to jog his memory by saying ne
worked for him five or six years ago Van
Aiken told him that he could not remem-
Der him, but taking it for granted that the
man was right he continued to convers Q
with him and his companion.
After q few minutes the man who pre-
tended to know Van Aiken suggested
they should walk along Battery street to
the water fro mt instead of going in the di-
rection of the ferry.
Van Aiken had no objection and the
three walked along Battery street, talking
all the way. When they reached the water
front the two strangers headed for Green
street wharf and Van Aiken. totally unsus-
picious of danger, followed them.
There was not o soul in sight. and as
soon as they reached dark place on the
w
Aiken, grabbed him by the head and
dragged it backward. Van Aiken saw the
CLEAN of steel, but before he could cry out
the man drew knife or razor across his
throat The other man rifed his pockets
of $47 so and then they threw him into the
water.
The men then disappeared in the dafk-
ness, but none too soon, as Van Aiken's
cries for help soon brought several people
to his assistance. and he was carried to a
saloon on the corner of Green and Davis
streets.
The harbor police station was at once
notified and the am bulance was Sc M
moned from the Receiving Hospital.
The wound was about fou inches long
and two inches deep. The windpipe was
severed and the blade narrowly missed
the jugular. Van Aiken b ad close call,
and as it is he is in critical condition
from the loss of blood.
Van Aiken described the two men as
follows: One about feet 2 or inches
tall, light mustache and looked like q
Swede; the other was large man, who
talked like German, and had dark COM
plexion. This was all the description he
could give.
