Ex-Gov. Peck Eliminates.
Ex-Gov. Peck, who said he was going
with the party to lend tone" to the eX
cursion. occupied Il seat in the smoker,
where he ruminated on the ups and
downs of political life in a republic. A
| few years ago he was the chief occupant
Of the principal car and the man i'll whom
| the interest of the train centered, but to-
lay the smoker was good enough for him,
| he thought.
You wouldn't expect me to be back in
| the last car today would you?' he asked.
| Il tried that once and once is enough.
| There is a comfortable thing about it,
! though" he added, philosophically. a,
man is a man in the smoker just as much
as he is i'll the governors car. The
genial ex-governor was perfectly at home
| In the Republican crowd and for the time
being was rs good Il Republican as any
| Of them.
Gen. Falk and one or two other Demo
Gratis kept eX-Gov. Peck company.

Of general manager for the occasion and

who were here. there and all over ut one
| and the same time.
/ At Watertown. Jesse Stone joined the
party and was given Il hearty welcome,
| every body being glad to see the popular
lsSemblyman. He was accompanied by
Mr.. Wertheimer, il Well-knoWn Water
! town gentleman.
Gov ScOfeld passed the time quietly
! in his car conyersing with his friends.
Somebody was with him all of the time,
! discussing things either of a personal or
political nature, and he made the jour
ne- without fatigue.
just before Madison was reached Mrs.
| G.. n Wiswell sent in a magnificent
bunch of roses to Mrs. Scofield, which
| threw the ladies of the car into trans
| port of delight.
The ladies i'll the different cars soon be-
! came acquainted and passed the hours
| pleasantly in conversation, while the gen
! tlemen smoked or played cards. and
| Madison was reached before anybody
| had thought of becoming tired. The
weather was gloomy when the train left
| Milwaukee and there were fears that
! the inaugural ceremonies would be
married by unpleasant weather. but the
| fears were diSpelled by the sun breaking
through the clouds and the party was
elated by the thought of pleasant day
! AZ the capital. Gov. ScOteld was anxious
| to be in Madison on time, and though no
! time he'd bees lost, when the bell-cord
signal was passed to the engineer he
increased his speed and the train pulled
| into Madison five minutes ahead of time.
