PURSUED BY AN OFFICE.
Republican to BE Elected Sheriff on
Democratic Ticket Against
His Will.

LACROSSE, WIS, Nov. "A very un-
usual action was brought in the circuit
court here to-day, and a result Major
j. Kircheis, of the Third Wisconsin vol
unteers, Republican, is compelled to ac-
cept the nomination for sheriff of La
Crosse county on the Democratic ticket,
against his will. While the major was
in Porto Rico, the Democratic convention
nominated him for sheriff, without his con-
sent or knowledge. His regiment has just
returned from Porto Rico sixty days
furlough, and he did not reach home until
Monday, two days too late to file his de
clination Of the nomination. He refused TO
run, and the county clerk refused to put
his name on the the official ticket. Demo-
cratic County Chairman Mahoney then
brought action in the circuit court to
compel the county clerk to place Kirchies'
name on the ticket, and won his case.
Judge Wyman in his rulings held that the
law required that declination be filed nine
days before the election, and that it was
not for the court to put any different con-
struction on the statute and, therefore,
Major Kircheis name must go on the tick
ct. Major Kircheis made an excellent rec
ord in Porto Rico as an army officer and 1t
is conceded that he will be elected by
large majority, but he is still army Off
Ger. His regiment may not be mustered out
until long after he has been elected, and he
will not accept office. The legal fraternity
n this city say this is the queerest case
on record and a great variety of opinions
is expressed by them as to the outcome.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2-Serator T. c. Platt
gave out the following statement tonight:
The Democratic campaign managers at
the Hoffman house seem TO be out of cam
paiCn matter. Before Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated for governor the
Tammany lax commissioners attempted to
question his eligibility. They quickly drop
ped that issue. They then announced that
they would make an attack upon the ju-
dietary as one of their issues. That lid
not turn out right. They then muzZed all
Of their candidates on the money issue. Not
single Democratic candidate has been al
lowed to say Il single word on this vital
issue of the campaign. That issue has
proved disastrous 10 the Democrats. So Ut
terly demoraliZed are our Democratic :.d-
ysrsarieS that the latest issue announced
by them Is personal Slander against me.
They have caused il to be circulated that
l am lukewarm to the candidates of the
Republican state ticket headed by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt | would not pay the
slightest attention TO such SANDER If IL
Were not for the fact that our adversaries
have peddled this story all over the st3te.
II is Il baseless, sianderous falsehood. The
Republican party. the Republican partvs
organization in the state and in Greater
New York. from the most important OIL
man in the ranks. has been working day
and night. faithfully and Loyalty. for the
election OF the Republican state ticket, the
Republican candidates for the legislature
and the Republican candidates for congress-
THE sound money allies of the Republican
party in this fight have also worked as
they never worked before. The business
men. the workingmen and all classes of
citizens are determined that Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt and his associates on the
state ticket and all other candidates for
office who stand upon the sound money
principles laid down in st. Louis in 1856
shall he elected on next Tuesday.
Colonel RooSevelt's election and the cleo
tion of his associates on the state ticket Is
assured beyond the shadow of dount.
