A CITIZENS PROTEST.

DEAR TRIBUNE OF THE PEOPLE:-
have been amused at some of the
articles in the Southwest Wiscon-
sin. They bear such an II am holier
than thou air. but let that pass.
Editor Taylor seems to think that
Mr. Babcocl ought to be returned to
congress for the fourth time, be-
cause of what he has done for the
country, the party and the old sol
dier. He wishes the people to be-
lieve that Mr.. Babcock merits this
preferment. Wen, it may be so, but
are there no others who are equally
deserving? Sen. Baxter began 81
years ago to do something for his
country, during the war Of the Reb-
bellion; for score of years he work
ed faithfully for republican success
rs chairman of the County Commit
tee MIGRANT county, and much of the
big majority in that county was due
to his untiring efforts and as state
senator, which Office he now holds,
he took front rank and did himself
and the district much honor.
Aud our own Joiner is not behind
any of them in his loyalty to his
country and his party, and ! believe
the stands head and shoulders above
all of those mentioned for congress
in this district, in mental ability, in
ability to rightly solve the prob
lems of the hour, in his grasp OF
what is best for the country in ahil-
/ ity to express his ideas in clear.
conyincinga and entertaining manner,
! and in the last ten years no other
man in the county or out of it, has
done as much as he for epublicau
success.
| With such man right in our
midst shall we go outside to honor
another to whom We have already
done honor over much?
1t will be an exhibition of base in
! gratitude II we Go.
But the Southwest Wisconsin asks
rs to honor MIR, Babcocl because he
merits it. Is that the course which
Mr. Babcock pursues in his dealings
with others? Does the immaculate
Taylor of the Southwest always pur-
sue that course These are questions
which the people have a right to ask.
Let me cite some facts which bear
upon the answer 20 THESE questions,
and there are others. In Mineral
Point there are qujtou number of
| republicans who merit che appoint
ment of postmaster; the torn Of the
present T. NJ has long since expired.
Why Is itthat MIR Babcock doesn't
see that am appointment is made
st Arena Mr. Bahcock paid no at
tentiou to merit went back ON the
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1898-06-30

ed about to touch his soul, and then
he allied himself with the sound
money party. And how is the Office
ran in Arena? Why the old Demo
cratic p. NJ, runs it to be sure. No
republican in Arena, who even de-
serves to be assistant p. NJ.
At Ridgeway another old soldier,
"A deserving republican, and man
well fitted for the Office of p. NJ, was
turned down by Mr.. Babcock
He merited the Office but it didn't
count, At Dodgeville at least two
old soldiers, who are also old wheel
horses in the Republican party, and
a number of other republicans, some
| of whom at least merted the office
of p. NJ. were turned down and "a
young man appointed who has not
voted at more than two presidential
elections. How little Mr.. Babcock
cares for the old soldier when he
has an opportunity to help him.
| How little he cares for merit and
for the resolutions of his party. Ad-
vancement of Babcock is what he
is after and he thinks this course
will attend to promote that object.
At Cobb a republican sought the
office of =. NJ. He was "a most faith
full and untiring worker for the party,
and well qualified to fill the office,
and was the choice of large ma
jority of tine republicans of the town,
but merit didn't count. Another
was appointed. | am informed that
even at Linden, the Editor of the
Southwest was not the choice of
the republicans of the town, but he
! received the appointment How
does he respect merit in the party,
and what attention does he pay to
the policy of his party? Why, he
appoints the old democratic p. M. as
his assistant and rich democrats
! daughter as clerk, while deserving
republicans, both male and female
are ignored. Merit doesn't count at
| Linden. Better be democrats at
once than such republicans.
| am sick at heart of craft and cant
and the smooth hypo,r;sies of these
| would-be leaders of the people.
! They have a creed of iron for other
republicans but a go as you please"
for themselves.
If Mr.. Babcock is to be reelected
because he merits the place, why
don't he and Mr.. Taylor and his other
supporters apply the same rule to
the people?
Mr.. Taylor, in his paper, has also
tried to convince the people that Mr..
Reese, of Dodgeville, has merited
much more at the hands of the re-
publican party than he has received.
There are many others in the county
who have done just as much as Mr.,
! Reese and have received nothing.
How has Mr.. Reese been paid? He
was p. NJ. at Dodgeville for Is years /;
one of his sons has been in the mail
route service for 10 years or over,
holding the office during Cleveland's
first term, although it was not then
under civil service rules, and there
| by hangs a tale; another son had a
place at Madison for three or four
years, and his only remaining son
was favored by Mr.. Babcock with
the best plum in the pudding, the
post office at Dodgeville. Will the
Editor of the Southwest please tell
the people how much more we owe
to Mr.. Reese?

that there is no intention on

For this reason, until the Spanish

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines are to be
Americas spoil when the war is over.
The two islands in the West Indies are
to be invaded in force at once, and the
country won by Dewey is to be held at
all hazards.
The semi.of.icial announcement Of
this programme was the sensation OF
the day in Washington. Even the
rumors Of battle off Santiago sank
to second place in the popular interest.
For days it has been plain that the
administration was drifting to posi-.
ton where it would find it necessary to
invade Cuba and Porto Rico with the
intention of holding them for time at
least, but up to the present there has
been no statement, official or unofficial,
as to the plans of the president.
Secretary Algers Statement.
During the day letter from Sec
retary Alger to the speaker OF the
house transmitting certain recon-.
mendations and statements OF Gen.
eral Ludlow, which disclosed the pur.
pose of the war department to send
1000 men to Cuba, 10000 to start
AZ once and the remainder just
as soon as they can be made
ready for departure. Then there was
an estimate for establishing electrica
communications in connection with
the army ''in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, showing for the first tlmt
officially an implied intention on th'
part Of the government to land troop
in Porto Rico. OF course all these
moves have been anticipated by th'
press. nevertheless strong element O
| doubt existed and therefore an oflcia
statement of the governments pur
poses, made even in this indirect fash
ion, created profound sensation here
