They're on the Run.

Well! Well! They are on the run be-
fore the republican guns are trained
over one-half the field!
From every part of the state comes
reports that the silverites are unable to
meet and check the skirmishes of the
sound money crusade.
What OH earth will become of them
when the line of battle is fully formed
and the heavy ordnance is placed in
position?
Deceived by specious misstatements,
fascinated by the promise of getting
something for nothing, preiudiced by
downright lying and swindled by clum-
sy forgeries, the deluded silverites felt
only a month ago that they would
carry the state by storm.
Now they are in confusion and re-
treat, even before the batteries of truth
have begun to belch forth their full
volleys Of facts.
The stampede is on all over the state.
Locally it began with the organization
of our republican club and Mr.. Fowler's
meeting Saturday. Farmers and work.
ingmen are hustling to get within the
Notifications of sound money before the
crushing defeat of November 3 is adj
ministered!
Why is it? Simply because republi-
cans are surcharged with the spirit
that animated the patriots in 1861.
They are girded to squelch the hide
ously un-American doctrine of repudi
alton.
They are armed to repel and ami
hilate the wicked falsehoods of cheap
agitators, who prowl about to deceive
the masses.
They are accoutred with truth and
virtue to overwhelm the cohorts of an
archy, sedition and fiat-robbery which
met in Chicago.
They are in the saddle to carry state
and nation for the preservation of ma
tional integrity and the exaltation of
national honor.
And they won't relax their vigilance
or withhold their power. The enemies
of honesty and the foes of industry,
yet remaining massed under the Bry-
an banner, will be routed foot and
dragon!
The advance will be steady, impul-
sive, irresistible, until the final battle
is fought.

We today place at the head of the
editorial page the completed republican
ticket that is to triumph in November.
In the county convention held last
Saturday the final nominations we're
made, and the single remaining duty
now devolving upon the voters of Ke-
nosha county is to =" go in and win, y
not by scratch, but by sure gener-
GUS plurality that shall give Kenosha
county prominence and character as
among the reliable republican counties
Of the state.
The county ticket nominated last
Saturday is worthy to receive and will
be given the hearty support OF Keno
sha county republicans. On the part
of some, other nominations than those
determined upon may have seemed de-
sirable; but it is pretty safe rule of
republican doctrine and practice to as
sumo that the combined judgment of
the party as expressed in convention is
better than the judgment of any indi-
vidual. In this view we recommend
work all along the line to the end that
the republican county ticket may
triumph.
The party in Kenosha city and
county was never in better condition or
never more cordially in harmony than
it is today. With the ticket nominated
and with the issues at stake, national,
state and local-whose controlling i'm
portance it were difficult to estimate
we must win with whirl and we shall.

Now, DO not get impatient. We be-
lieve Mckinley is going to be elected
and that business revival is moving
along. A thoroughly sick man does
not get we'll in an instant. The crisis
comes-the danger passes-the i'm
provement begins, and citation is nat
ural and proper, but he must. await
with fair patience the return OF
strength. The country has been very
sick in a business way. 1t has lost a
world of business weight and strength
within the past three years. Its case
for several months has seemed really
critical. But the crisis is passed. New
hope has sprung up. The certainty OF
early recovery is recognized on all
hands. New activity is clearly per-
ceptible. The hand of confidence has
touched the button and the ponderous
wheels begin to go round. We hardly
understand as yet what it is that we
can do, but it is to be something to put
the idle in the way of opportunity to
make an honest living, and in the way
of being profitable customers for now
worse than idle tradesmen. Get coats
off. Get ready for work. Put the
shops in order. Put the stores in or
der Let idle capital begin to build fol-
business. Let the landlords get their
idle houses in order, tor the business is
surely coming. "Get thy spindle and
thy distaff and the Lord will give thee

And Now Maine.

The whole story of that republican
landslide in Maine Monday is told in a
concise way in State Chairman Man
ley's message to Mark Hanna, which is
as follows:
"To the Hon. M. A. Hanna, Chair
man Republican National Committee
The republican party has achieved this
day the most sweeping and magnificent
victory ever accorded to any party in
the history of Maine.
eve have carried every county in the
state; elected every state senator; at
least 40 out of Isl members of the
house of representatives; secured every
county officer; given each member of
our magnificent delegation in the house
of representatives the largest majority
they ever received; elected our cand1-
date for governor by the greatest ma
iority ever given a candidate for that
high office; endorsed the st. Louis
platform and declared for Mckinley
and Hobart by $4,000 majority.
The republican vote will exceed by
several thousands the largest repub-
ican vote heretofore given, and the
vote given the democratic candidate
for governor is the smallest democratic
vote cast, with one single exception,
and that is the vote of 1894, which was
only 5000 less.
What more could Maine have done
for the cause of good government, hon

had made it unanimous. She has en-
phasized the verdict of Vermont ard
drives another nail in the coffin of
Organism and popocratism. As we
nave before stated, the enemy is on the
run. Now let US keep them running

will not arouse him. Hurrah for

The republican county convention
that met last Saturday was as har-
monious a body as ever placed ticket
in nomination in this county. Ofcourse
there are individual disappointments-
only one could be nominated for each
place-but on the whole the sore spots
are only skin deep and will readily heal
with the enthusiasm of the campaign.
So let US all line up with solid front
and forward to victory.

COAL consumers who imagine that
demand has any influence in fixing the
price Of coal exhibit a remarkable ig-
norance of the facts in regard to the
anthracite coal trade. Demand cuts
no figure whatever, and the supply is a
matter that is completely in the hands
of the coal barons, who can put up
prices when coal is plentiful at the
mines, and put them down when coal is
scarce. The people are completely at
the mercy of the anathracite combina-
tion

In early September, 1872, there were
still so many partisans who no doubt
held honest faith that Horace Greeley
was to be president! So there are
those now who contemplate the posi-
bility of the election of Bryan. Mr..
Bryan is a good citizen. Horace
Greeley was a good citizen. Mr.. Bryan
is good talker. Mr.. Greeley was not
a small or weak man on the hustlings
in the early days Of '72. Mr.. Bryan
has been in congress. Mr.. Greeley had
been in congress. Mr.. Bryan has been
editing a newspaper. Mr. Greeley
once edited a newspaper. Mr.. Bryan
was never a great editor. Mr.. Greeley
through many years Of national sun
shine and storm was the greatest editor
of his time. Mr. Bryan is personally
highly respected at home, loved by
many, and many farmers imagine that
there is something in his notions of
government that, in operation, would
accrue to their benefit. Mr.. Greeley
was not only respected and
beloved, but no man in the world ever
had such loyal and enthusiastic fol-
lowing of the farmers and laboring men
of nation as he held through many
years. He was the philosopher and
idol of the press of the country, and es-
pecially the press of the party to which
his life was allied. But he not infre-
quently wrought himself up into a
greatly exaggerated view of the i'm
portance of some special theory Of his
own. Possibly, Mr.. Bryan is keeping
the parallel good. At all events, Mr..
Greeley, with all his wonderful advan
tage, his enshrinement in the popular
heart, went off on angent-acce
the nomination of a convention craZed
with its enthusiasm, and insane with it's
idea Of sweeping the country like a
prairie fire, but reckless of certain
great principles dear to the American
heart-and the result all observers or
readers of recent history know. The
country, with an overwhelming force
that seems cruel, as one looks back
upon it, not only swept away every
vestige of the platform upon hich Mr..
Greeley was made to stand, but swept
the beloved and idolized man himself
to his doom. There exists many signs
that the election of 1896 is to follow the
pace set by that of twenty -four years
ago, so far as the platform upon which
Mr.. Bryan stands goes. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Bryan himself, in the
strength and pride of his youth, may
withstand the shock with better grace,
profit by the lesson, and, personally,
live long to bless his country, upon a
somewhat sounder basis, with his re-
markable gifts and his apparent Gree
ley like capacity for hard work,

Circuit Court.

The regular September term of the
circuit court for Kenosha county open
ed on Monday, September IA, 1896,
Judge Fish presiding.
The case of Louis G.. Bohmrich
against The NJ. 81. Petit Mailing Com
pany, in which Bohmrich sued the
company to recover $4,000 damages
for alleged failure on the part of the
company to donate him stock to that
amount, was called in its order on the
calendar.
The defendant announced that it was
ready for trial. Mr.. Bohmrich made an
application for a continuance of the
cause until the March term of court,
which was resisted by the defendant,
the court holding that proper cause for
continuance must be shown by aft
daVit in accordance with the rule of
court.
Mr.. Phipps, of the Racine law firm of
Kearney, Phipps & Thompson, who were
attorneys for Mr.. Bohmrich, declined
to prepare such affidavit on the ground
that there was no merit in the action,
and notified Mr.. Bohmrich that his
firm then and there withdrew from the
case, and asked that Mr. Bohmrich
employ some other counsel to conduct
the suit.
The matter came up again at the
opening of the court in the afternoon,
and Mr.. Phipps announced to the court
that the action was dismissed by the
plaintiff.
This entities the defendant to a
Judgment for costs against the plaintiff
and ends this litigation.

WHO will muzzle Tom Watson z
That is just now the question Of ques-
tions at every secret conclave held at
popocratic headquarters. Watson Is as
autocratic in all his dealings with the
members of the populist national COM
mittee as Bryan is with the members
of the democratic committee, and his
demand that Sewall be taken off the
Bryan ticket to make room for him has
reached a stage where it can no longer
be ignored. The popocratic managers
have got to do something very soon,
and they are at a loss to choose. Their
original intention was to bunco Wat
son, and there is reason to believe that
Senator Butler, chairman of the popu-
list national committee, was a party to
that intention; but Watson has sue
ceeded in stirring up the populists IN
portions of the south and west to such
an extent that the popocrats have lost
their nerve and are now in doubt about
what to do, and bets have been made
that they will wind up by throwing
Sewall overheard. They would prob
ably have done so before now, if they
did not hope for lot of SewalPs mon
ey, and if they had not been afraid of
it's effect in the east. After the New
York convention meets this week the
last fear will not count. They know
that they haven't a ghost of chance
to carry an eastern state, but they
want the moral effect in other states of
a declaration in favor of Bryan and
Sewall by the New York democratic
convention.
