THE reason the La Toilette men
wanted delegates to the state conven-
ton was to give their support to Mr..
Hoard for delegate-at-large, in return
for the support of the Jefferson coun-
ty delegates in the congressional con
vention for Mr.. La Follette.-Madison
Journal, March 7.
The above implies that a deal has
been made. This is news to Jefferson
county Republicans, so far as we can
ascertain. Both Hoard and La Fol
lette are fit men for delegates; we
hope to see them elected, and with
this view can see nothing against such
an arrangement as is outlined above
But, really, we do not comprehend
why it should be made Mr. La Fol.
lette, with twenty-six Dane county
votes behind him, should not at all
be alarmed over his election. The
combination would more naturally
be with Dodge county, to insure the
election Of Lawrence as district
delegate From all accounts Hoard
will be the almost unanimous choice
OF the state convention as one of the
delegates-at-large.

THOUGH trife behind the others,
THE REPUBLICAN desires to add its
mite to the encomiums the state press
has been bestowing upon E. d. Coe,
Of The Whitewater Register, on &C
count of his candidacy for chairman
of the Republican State Central COM
mittee. Let him be named with un-
animity. No one is better qualified.
He possesses the foremost attribute
no association with any faction of
the party-to an unquestioned degree.
His utmost friendliness to all, his
wide acquaintance, ability, honesty
and political knowledge well beit
him for the position. The Republi-
can party of Wisconsin contains no
more popular man than Ed Coe, and
all the essentials to the Office would
be embodied in his selection.

IT is now considered the ''proper
eaper" for country editors to rush
into the light by coming out with a
pronounced and most positive opin-
ion on the new apportionment bill.
Some praise and some condemn it in
toto. As a matter Of fact not one
journalist in ten knows enough
about it to be authority. Locally
they may know what is said of the
bill, but they ought TO stop until such
time AS something definite may be
learned about the general job. As to
Dodge county, we hear no complaints.

blymen, and that is all our population

Senator Tillman's opening speech
in the free silver presidential cam-
paign at Lexington drew the leading
silver men Of central Kentucky.
Tillman was introduced to an
audience Of fully ! thousand pso-
pie. He had spoken but : few
minutes until be had entirely esp
tiyated the audience, which he held
we'll for two hours. On the stage
were many Of Kentucky's proini-
nent politicians.
He denounced The Cleveland and
Carlisle financial policy and then
went after the president in the most
vigorous language, saying among
other things, that the press Of the
country had been subsidized BY the
money power. He took up Carlisle's
Eve propositions, as enunciated IN
his speech at Memphis last year,
and argued that they were all wrong.
He claimed that the only reason
Why silver was inferior to gold 40 .
standard Of value, was because II
was made inferior by the laws OF
congress. His telling points were
wildly cheered by the audience,
which was thoroughly in sympathy
with his views.
His speech put new life and hope
into the free silver cause. Illlman
predicted. that the next national
Democratic convention will be con.
trolled by the free silver wing Of
the Democratic party.

The outlook is favorable for the
Democratic Convention at St. Louis
to be controlled by the free silver
wing. Senator Tilman says: 1.-The
silver Democrats expect to have
one-half of Michigan, Indiana,
Ohio, all of Illinois and the South,
except Kentucky, and Kentucky
would be all right if some one
would go there and stir them up.
That's what l went for, to put a
blister on their backs. l never had
a wilder, hotter, more enthusiastic
crowd than that which I addressed
at Lexington last week. The hard
er hit Cleveland, the better they
liked it. Senators and other free
silver men report that we are going
to be in control at Chicago"

During the severe cold spell two
weeks ago, Miss Mamie Reed,
daughter of a wealthy planter, liv-
ing about 5 miles from Huntington,
w. Va, walked several miles while
asleep in the snow, and her feet
were so badly frost-bitten that they
had to be amputated. Her walk
was not her first somnambulistic
adventure, as she had been found
wandering around her home at night
on former occasions. In her last
stroll she wandered along the pub
lie highway for fully two miles and
was nearing a crossing of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railway, when a
heavy freight train came thunder
ing along and awakened the unfor-
tunate girl from her slumbers.
Having had many similar expert
ences during her life, she at once
realized her situation and made a
hasty retreat for her home, which
was then fully two miles away.
She was clad only in her night
garments. and being in her bare
feet, the sufferings of the girl we're
intense. On reaching her home
her feet, hands, ears and other parts
of her body were found to be frozen,
and she was almost a raving ma
MAC. A physician was summoned
and everything possible was done
to alleviate her sufferings, but to no
avail. After a consultation the ply
sicians proceeded to amputate both
her feet with hope of prolonging
her life. At last accounts there
was little hope for her recovery.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, a
goldbug paper, makes the following
concession to the silver men: ut
is q foregone conclusion that the
coming Democratic State Conven-
ton of Missouri will be mainly
composed of free silyerites. Tae
money question has been the only
one discussed in the campaign for
the election of delegates, and the
party will be unequivocally COM
mitted to the theory of the unlim-
tied coinage of silver dollars.

tending to be introducing reforms?

address to the workingmen of Chi

would follow. He knows full we'll
that the only object Of the silver
men is to place silver on an equal
footing with gold in every respect,
and nothing more. Before Carlisle
was appointed to the position be now

republicans with all the miseries
entailed by the demonstration Of
silver and believed they should be
arraigned and tried at the bar Of
justice for the crime they commit
ted against their country. But
