That's the sound talk. If Gov.

able to himself, satisfactory to his
party and of benefit to the state he
is entitled to continue in office. If
he has failed to do this he should
not be given another term. How

OPPOSITION TO UpHAM.
II Seems to Be Growing Stronger
Every Day-Can lie Be Re-
nominated?

Madison Wis. April I6.-Just at
present there is a large crop OF
worry to the acre in that portion
Of the state capitol that is occu-
pied by Gov w. H. Upham. AS
all persons are aware, the governor
desires a denomination for several
reasons. one of which is that it is
compliment that custom has
given to nearly all his predecessors.
But he has become aware that
there is great opposition to him in
his own party, and that the pros
pect Of winning against the
disaHccted clements is not good if
they unite on one man.
Strong efforts have been made
to smooth over trouble whenever
it has appeared, and the governors
personal acquaintance have spent
most of the winter going from
point to point to see men who
have declared opposition to the
governor. Last autumn they
attempted to get all the men who
were candidates before the con-
vcntion in 1894 to write letters
favoring the denomination of the
entire ticket. But the plan worked
badly. Not only did the gentle
men refuse to write when asked,
but some of them became so
disguised that they stated IN
public what they had formerly
merely thought IN private. A
notable example Of this fact was
Editor Monahan of Darlington,
who had kept still until approached
to come out for the administration
At the present time the man Of
whom the governor is most afraid
is Eugene s. Elliott Of Milwaukee,
and not a day passes that more or
less letters are not written from or
received at the executive office
with reference to the chances of
the Milwaukee man winning if
he should decide TO take the field
and attempt to rally the dissatis-
fed elements to his Standard
1t is generally conceded that
Nils P. Haugen has had his day,
and will never be strong again, SO
that he no longer keeps the
governor awake nights. But the
fact that he is gone only brings
out in a stronger light the further
fact that Mr.. Elliott recently
showed great strength i'll Mllwau
kee, and Gov. Upham 'imagines
that strength breeds bees, and
that large-sizcd one will neces-
sarily develop in the hat of Mr..
Elliott.
Current gossip is to the effect
that the governor will soon visit
Milwaukee not only to cement the
friendship of the bosses but also
to make oVertures on the side with
a view to getting promise from
MIR. Elliot to keep out of his way.
And all this is going on i'll
state where the unwritten law has
heretofore rendered the incumbent

Green Bav Gazette, ReI

Green Bay Gazette, Rep: The
denomination of Gov. Upham, if it
were accomplished, would prove to
be pretty nearly suicidal so far as
the Republican party of Wisconsin
is concerned. In every
congressional district the woods
are full" Of Republicans of inhu-
ence, having no sort Of ill-will to-
ward the governor, who are out
spoken and positive in their
declaration that his denomination
would mean party disaster and
might even mean defeat at the polls
in November.
In our mind there is no question
but what if the Republicans re-
nominate Gov. Upham he will be
defeated at the polls, and he ought
to be. The Republicans in Wood
county, with probably a few eX-
ceptions in the city Of Marshheld,
are not in favor Of his renomina-
ton, and will not vote for him at
election time. The Republicans
of Wood county will give Gov
Upham several weeks more time
to decide whether or not he will
be a candidate for denomination,
and if he remains silent we propose
to show up his record in this
county as we know it. 1t will
make interesting reading. He
cannot be governor Of Wisconsin
again without the whole people
knowing what kind Of man he
has been here at home in public
matters. When they know his
record coupled with the past ad-
ministration he has given us, we
don't believe the Republican party
will take the responsibility of re-
nominating him if they have any
desire of succeeding in the coming
election.
