HONEST MONEY MAN.
That Is what Republicans Of Wisconsin
Want tor Candidate.

MILAwUKEE, Wis, March 1s.-The Re-
publican state convention was called to
order by Chairman Jones of the State
central committee at 1890 this afternoon.
The Academy Of Music was packed to the
ing the most enthusiastic political
gathering over held in this city.
Secretary Ewing announced that there
was not a contest between any of the
delegates and the reading of the list of
delegates was dispensed with.
John q. Esch OF Lacrosse. a popular
young Republican, was chosen chairman
OF the convention amid applause. In ac-
knowledging the honor, Chairman Esch
said protection and its offspri ing rec ciproc-
ity, were not dead issues, but would be
living issues until they had been settled
and It remained the high duty OF theparty
which proclaimed and defended them
both to see that they were settled right.
The Republican party's financial history
In the past was sufficient guaranty of its
ability to meet the requirements OF the
present. In behalf OF all classes in Wiscon-
sin and the nation, In behalf of present
and future prosperity the convention
should ask the delegates 10 st. Louis to
nominate an "houest money candidate
on an honest money PLATFORM"
Continuing, he SAID, "The Republican
party manifests Its power today by the
number of distinguished candidates seek
ing its nc mination for he presidency. We
see the venerable form OF that irreproach
able statesman and successful man of
business, Levi p. Morton of New York.
We honor that Nestor in Republican
councils William Il. Allison of Iowa. We
cannot refuse our admiration to that
modern hercules, giant in mind as well
as body. Tom Reed OF Maine. We admire
a certain private citizen of staunch Re-
publican State, who stands as the chief
exponent of the grandest doctrine of our

unto their voice, and for whom there
rolls across the continent tidal wave of
admiration-William Mckinley of Ohio,
But which ever one is appointed, him
will the Republicans of Wisconsin sup

In The House.

Public interest at tie capitol was trans
ferred today to the House where the reso-
lutions to censure Ambassador Bayard
for his speeches at Boston, England ana
Edinburgh, Scotland, last fall, we're to
be brought into the arena of debate.
Although the debate wss not to open
until 1:30 D. M, people began to crowd
into the galleries before the session con-
veped at noon. The spectators waited
impatiently while the preliminary busi-
ness was transacted.
MIR. Prince, REP, Ill., from commit
tee on elections No. 2, made unanimous
report on the case of William s. Boose
VS.. Harry Wells Rusk from the third
Maryland district in favor of the sitting
member and the report was adopted.
At 1 :l5 the House took a recess for 10
minutes, pending the arrival of Mr.. Hit,
chairman of the foreign affairs commit
tee.
At f:3o when the House reconyened.
Mr. Hit Immediately called up the Bay
ard resolutions which were read at the
clerk desk.
In opening his speech In iavor of the
adoption OF the resolution, Mr.. HIT re-
viewed the speeches delivered by Mr. Bay
ard. The one at Edinburgh delivered two
days after the November election, he
characterized as "political diatribe."
MIR. Bayard's auditors, he said, had that
day read the election returns no doubt
with great regret, and IL was to sympa-
thetic foreign audience that he delivered
his passionate address. That speech called
attention again TO the speech previously
delivered at Boston describing the Ameri-
cans as "violent people" That, he said,
was the case upon which the committee
on foreign affairs reported these resolu-
tions of censure. At first he said IL had
been hoped that il would be found on ex-
animation that the Edinburgh was simply
an academic address but il was not so.
