UPHAr1 AND HAUGEN.

EN-Congressman Nils P. Haugen
in River Falls Journal, Rep: At
the Republican caucus in the town
of Pleasant Springs, Dane county,
not far from Madison, resolutions
were unanimously adopted censur-
ing Gov. Upham and the legislature
for passing the bill relieving the
eN-state treasurers from the judg-
ments against them. and declaring
it to be the purpose of the Repub-
licans of that town to vote for no
man who had aided in passing
such legislation. 1t is only an
awakening of the public conscience
that can relieve the Republican
party from the odium of broken
promises under which it suffers in
this state, and the Republicans Of
Pleasant Spring are pursuing the
right course. The men guilty Of
the passage Of the atrocious legis-
lation of 1895, and those who
for them, have tasted
blood and will make desperate
fight for public endorsement-or
apparent endorsement of their
record. Whether their purpose is

The Incompatible Chicago & Alton.

In these United States Of America at
least, and 1t is highly probable thai
throughout the entire world, the
official record for the safety and vel
fare of its passengers made and main
tanned by the Chicago q Alton Railroad
cannot be surpassed if indeed it can be
eQualed.
Oyer it's completely rock ballasted
dustless roadway, between Chicago and
Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis
Chicago and Peoria and st. Louis and
Kansas City, eighteen magniticently
appointed express trains are run on
uniformly fast time every day. But in
spite Of this heavy passenger tratfice
the official records show that from
eleven years, there was no passen niger,
who was in place as passenger, killed
on Chicago 4 Alton trains. Moreover
there was not a passenger seriously
injured, to the extent Of losing limb,
an eve or a member Of any kind during
that time.
During the entire period of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition in
Chicago, when it was not an uncommon
tlipgto End the usual passenger traffic
of the road Increased two, three and
fourrfoid, and special Excursion trains
and extra sections Of regular trains
were very many. there was not an
accident of a2v kinda most remark
able record.
Besides beng America s most popular
railroad, the Chicago q Alton is the
Pioneer Dining Car Line, the Pioneer
Pullman Sleeping Car Line and the
Pioneer Palace Reclining Chair Car
Line, and the best line from Chicago to
Peoria Illinois, Denver, Colorado and
Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Be sure that your ticket reads over
the Chicago & Alton Railroad, when it
matchless and direct lines can form
the whole, or even a part of your
journey.

to still further legislate SO as to
refund the half million dollars
actually collected from some of
the eX-state treaSurers, we cannot
say. The Democrats will charge
them with such intention in case
of Upham's reelection, and we
see no escape from their logic. It
is true that the state is strongly
Republican on national issues and
that the national ticket will to a
large extent carry the state ticket
with it. If left to run upon his
own record and merits, we think,
however, that Upham would be
woefully defeated. Republican
voters Of Pierce county, study the
situation and when the time arrives
do not fail to attend the caucuses
and see that such action is taken
at the primaries as will truthfully
reflect your wishes in the conyen-
ton.

short some $1,000 by mistake or
otherwise and comparing it with
the condition that exists in this
county. The Merrill News says
in regard to this same matter that:
Some little time past Mr..
Yerke's bondsmen caused an in
vestigation Of his office to be made.
They found shortage, but very
much less than the $1,000 stated
in the Advocate. The committee
of the county board in their in
vestigation at the annual meeting,
as will be seen by looking up the
publication of their proceedings,
found no shortage. The dis
crepancies between the county
board and the bondsmen's investi-
eating committee are being
corrected SO that in a short time it
will be known just what the deficit
ID IL any.
Now it appears to ali upright
and sensible people that these
insinuations of defalcation should
be retained until the Finance Com
mittee have passed upon the
County Clerks account. This
takes place in May. If the COM
mittee are satisfied from their
special examination that the funds
have been misapplied Or the fund
is short then there will be time
enough to condemn the guilty
party. Until then the people will
be Disguised with an editor who
continues to charge a county
official with defalcation before
there is any official evidence of it.

TO CONCILIATE RACINE.
Gov. Upham Offers rlinor Place TO
the Wrong Man.

RACINE, Wis, March 23.-J j.. l..
Heg of the state board OF control
was in the city recently and gave
the politicians to understand that
the position of superintendent OF
the tailoring establishment OF the
Industrial school at Waukesha
had been assigned to Racine, and
asked that they recommend a man.
The name Of E. D. Kauffung was
suggested and a meeting was
arranged at the Hotel Phster,
Milwaukee. Mr.. kauffung was
present and was introduced to
Superintendent Hart Of the school
by Mr.. Heg.
He asked as 70 the duties Of the
office. They were these: He
should take charge of fifteen boys
at 7 o'clock in the morning, and
give them lessons in tailoring
During recess he should be their
guard. In the afternoon he should
take another class under the same
conditions until 6 o'clock. After
supper he should act as guard
over the boys until 8 o'clock.
During his leisure moments he
should do all the mending for the
boys in his charge, for which he
would receive $40 a month. Mr..
Kauffung declined the plum, one
of the reasons being that he was a
Democrat.

in charge of the executive office
at Madison, during the absence of

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

AllCl dIlClIulIIS liz lOCS4LI ~
publican State Convention as a
visitor we are thoroughly satisfied
that the Republicans are awake to
the interests of the Party. There
existed strong sentiment to dis
tribute the honors which the party
had to bestoW impartially, and the
result of the conventions delibera-
ton corroboratZs that sentiment.
John Esch, Of Lacrosse, was
chosen chairman by the State
Central Committee and his able
address Wasoan honor to himself
and those who selected him for the
position. The only mistake made
by the convention, i'll our judgment,
was the pitting Of Philetus Sawyer
and w. ID. Hoard, against each
other when they both could have
been chosen by reclamation. There
was danger Of defeating Sawyer in
such contest. Had such a thing
happened no telling what injury
might have been done the party.
There is never any need of playing
with fire unless there is no alterna
tive and it becomes necessary to
sustain some great principle. The
outcome we hope caused no sores
or hard feeling, yet it would have
been better had the contest be
tween Sawyer and Hoard never
taken place.
PLATFORM.
The Republicans Of Wisconsin
III convention assembled:
Renew their devotion to the
doctrine of Protection. We be-
lievc i'll an adjustment Of the tariff
duties for the twO-fold purpose Of
providing sufficient revenue to
meet the requirements Of the gov
crnment and to furnish reasonable
and adequate protection TO Ameri-
can lnduStricS-a tariff both for
revenue and protection.
I'VE also renew our allegiance
to the doctrine Of reciprocity. We
favor, as logical and beneficial
result of protective tariff laws,
mutual trade arrangements with
foreign countries that will provide
for our manufacturers and pro-
ducers a market for their surplus
product and at the. same time
enable us 70 buy from them, under
advantageous conditions, such
articles as they produce and we
need to purchase.
The Republicans of Wisconsin
are unyieIding in their demand for
honest money. We are unaIterably
opposed to any scheme that will
give to this country a deprecated
or debased currency. We favor
the use Of silver as currency to the
extent only and under such
restrictions that its parity with
gold can be maintained"
The Republicans in selecting
delegates to the National Conven-
ton and adopting the above plat
form have made good beginning.
May their further deliberations in
selecting state officers, congress-
men and United States Senator, be
guided by the same excellent
Judgment No one man, or set of
men, should be given the power of
debating any nomination, but let
there be fair expression of the
people On all nominations. When
this is done the success of the
party is assured.

The statement telegraphed all over
the country that Mark Hanna had
met with a financial frost on Wall
Street, should be taken with some
grains OF allowance. He meets with
no frost on Wall Street, and any such
statement is sent nj merely to throw
dust into the eyes of the voters Of the
country. Wall Street will pour its
millions into the lap Of Hanna for
this fight, and every dollar except
what Hanna takes for his percentage
will go into the fight to help elect
Mckinley. Wall street will continue
to put up until a little while before
election, then if it thinks it sees signs
that Bryan will win, it will purchase
silver and taking advantage of the

lions more.
Whatever happens, the country can
