RepnbIiean Legislative Ticket.

In giving the Republican legislative
nominees our most cordial endorse
ment we entertain no desire to reflect
personally upon the gentlemen who
have been designated to oppose them.
There are, however, important
principles involved, for favoring which
the JOURNAL owes no apology. Hon.
D. w. Woodwork, The Republican
candidate for State Senator, was two
years ago elected to this position to
fill ne vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Senator Phipps. Sen
ator Woodwork is well known
throughout the district as a staunch
Republican possessing the requisite
qualifications for first-class Senatorial
material. and is certainly entitled to
receive the compliment implied in his
nomination for reelection.
c. f. Pratt of this city, the Re-
publican nominee for the Assembly,
is not only competent but in every
way worthy the honor for which he

our most conservative and reliable
business men, and will always be
found faithful and right upon ques-
tions which shall come up for
legislative action.
In voting for legislative candidates,
do not be deceived by any assertion
thaUit makes no difference in Nation
al legislation and that you can there
fore safely trade of your legislative
',dndidates. II any chump tells you
such stuff as that, just remind him
that a United States Senator will be
chosen by the Wisconsin legislature
at its next session, and that you are
going to vote for men who will favor
the election OF some good Republican
to the United States Senate. See,
Vote for d. W Woodwork for Sena-
tor. and G. +. Pratt for Member Of
Assembly, thus preserving your con-
sistency in voting for Mckinley and
jenkins. National politics reach
clear down to and include the legisla-
tive ticket this year. and don't you
forget it.

DANGEROUS Grounds.

The well-established reputation Of
the JOURNAL as a conservative news
paper would refute the idea of our
giving any unnecessary alarm, but we
feel constrained at this time to sound
a note of warning to our readers.
The A b c of a renewed effort on the
part of the anarchistic element of
this country to gain political ascend
ancy are Altgeld, Bryan & Co., who
are standing squarely upon the
Chicago platform and who believe
that the platform means just what it
says. The more carefully this struc-
ture is examined the more apparent
become the changers involved in
its construction. The platform rep
resents the sentiment of the worst
and most dangerous element OF our
body polite, and as such deserves the
condemnation of every patriotic
citizen of this great Republic. 1t is
not reasonable TO suppose that all
voters who now expect to cast their
tionary utterances of the Chicago
convention, but blinded by their polit-
ical prejudices many will seek to adj
vance the interests Of those who are
pandering to an element whose ideas
If carried out would prove destructive
of the very foundation of good gov
eminent. The position which we
assume in relation to this matter is
amply sustained by the action of a
very strong minority of the Demo
cratic party which swept everything
before it four years ago. This large
minority, comprising the best and
most intelligent element of that
party, realizing the dangerous condi-
tion of the ground taken by the
majority OF the party. has openly
repudiated the lead Of anarchy and
taken a bold stand for honest money
and sound government, for the ad-
Faaeement Of which they sink party
expediercy and al hope Of party
success. This is a sacrifice which
Democrats never make except in
what they regard as the most dire
extremity.
In their political action this year
those who are termed honest money
Democrats are prompted by the
Hottest feelings Of patriotism-a patri-

Heroes of ,aa

As the pending campaign progresses
and the scenes photographed become
more fully developed the action of the
honest money Democrats in repudiat-
ing the work Of their representatives
in the Chicago convention stands out
in bold relief as an example of fidelity
to the cause of good government,
which amounts in effect TO true hero
ism, and makes heroes in a peaceful
contest to keep in restraint an evil
element which denies the right of the
United States Government to pro-
tect its own rights and the rights of
its law-abiding subjects. Many of
these Democrats, like many of the
Democrats in the dark days of 81,
have forgotten or ignore for the time
being the fact that they are Demo-
Gratis and are standing shoulder to
shoulder with the most stalwart
Republican supporters Of Mckinley
and making valiant fight for honest
money and the perpetuity of our free
institutions. These are heroic de-
tenders of the worthy cause in which
they have enlisted, and should be
accorded that honor to which their
patriotic action entities them. Silver
Republicans should carefully consider
the worthy example thus placed before
them before deciding to vote the
anarchistic ticket headed by Bryan,
under the erroneous idea that free
silver will obliterate all the difficulties
against which the American people
are now contending

Republican Congressional Ticket.

Existing conditions point to the
next Congress as one which will have
yer important work TO perform,
and it Is therefore essential that the
voters in each Congressional district
throughout the country should see to
il that only Representatives. who will
voice the sentiment of loyal people
should be elected to Congress. In
making use of the word loyal we
wish to be understood as employing
the term ia its broadcast, fullest sense,
and fof this reason: Gov. Altgeld, If
Illinois, stands as a conspicuous rep
resentatiye Of a thoroughly disloyal
element, and Il Congress committed
to the policy enunciated By the
Chicago platform would not hesitate
to do the bidding of Altgeld, Bryan &
Co., who represent the anarchists in
their demands. The loyal people Of
this congressional district cannot
afford to vote for +. II. Remington to
represent them in Congress, whatever
might be his personal fitness, because
he stands as the exponent OF an
element whose every fibre is antagon-
istic to the principles of good govern
ment.
Col. John J Jenkins, the Republican
candidate for this position, Is now
serving his first term in Congress in a
very acceptable manner, is personally
worthy, and his experience in legiold-
tive bodies has fitted him for the
service which as an efficient Repre-
sentative he viii be called upon 10
perform. Besides his fitness and
fidelity, Col. jenkins stands as a
representative of those pure principles
of loyalty and patriotism which have
characterized the Republican party
ever since its birth, party which has
repeatedly demonstrated its ability to
grapple with the questions of finance
and tariff in any emergency. A vote
for John j Jenkins for Congress is a
vote in favor of such congressional
action as will insure wise tariff laws
and a sound financial system. Do not
allow your. better judgement to be
overruled by the prejudices sought to
be aroused by free silver cam paigners,
either local or otherwise. Vote for
John j jenkins.

otism which subordinates party to
country, and those who have here
tofore voted the Republican ticket
should now yield TO none in test of
loyalty and devotion to those exalted
principles the observance Of which has
given this Nation so enyiable a
position among civilized countries.
The speeches and writings of those
who are supporting the Bryan ticket
are base appeals TO the passions and
prejudices of men, and should be
weighed as being only such. The en-
lightened intelligence of this country
cannot afford TO surrender the reins
of the grandest government on earth
to tile representatives of a debased
element whose studied aim il is to
dishonor and ignore the individual
rights of others and the functions OF
the government whose proud boast it
is that the oppressed or all nations
here find newly inspired hope, life,
liberty, and clearer track for the
pursuit Of happiness.
