Il the information contained IN the fol-
lowing lines had been IN the possession Of
James II. Wallace, of Detroit, Mich, he
would have saved mora than 5000 and
would have enjoyed five years of health
and happiness, instead Of torture.
MIR. Wallace IS an expert accountant and
bookkesper, in the office Of c. A. F5abcr-
korn & Co.. Detroit. He lives with his
family in pretty home at 240 Sixth Street.
He was marked by misfortune from his
tirth, having inherited scrofula.
Still a young man, MIR. Wallace seemed,
as he told his story, TO have a long life of
vigorous health and usefulness before him.
He tells about the remarkable incident
thatled to his complete restoration as follows:

slant treatment and diet it might be cured |

of the country. Mr.. Cleyeland's second
election and Inauguration were under
entirely different circumstances In
1898, when Mr.. Cleveland came into
power a second time. both houses of
congress were democratic, and the
power to change existing laws became
a matter Of will with the new eXecu-
tive and congress. Mr.. Cleveland in
his inaugural address declared that
the first purpose for which he was
elected was the repeating Of the tariff
law known as the Mckinley law. Now
let Us see what Of the effect. Manu-
faCturerS and merchants Immediately
became alarmed. The merchant would
not give orders and would not buy be-
cause he had been told by the preSi
dent that protection would be removed
and goods would become cheaper. The
manufacturer felt that he could not
afford to manufacture on his own
account, when everybody was wal ting
for cheaper goods from abroad, made
from cheaper material than he could
buy. And every consumer purchased
as little as possible in anticipation of
much lower prices. Thus it came
about that the factories were forced
to close, that the wOrkingmen lost
employment and this soon disturbed
every branch Of business, and in con-
junction with the democratic Wilson
tariff, gave us the four frightful years
of democratic rule that have we'll nigh
ruined this, the richest, and thereto
fore highly prosperous country. Shall
we vote to have another such expert
ence, or do we know how to profit from
! d lesson received.
Republicans have great notion of
staying away from the polls IN an 'off-
year" election, believing that the nat
ural republican majority in the state is
enough to keep things republican. This
| fall, however, there is a very urgent
demand for every republican to do his
duty and vote. Not particularly TO save
the state ticket or the county ticket, the
country won't 90 to the dogs if the dem
ocrats do carry the state or the county
ticket, but every republican should go
to the polls this fall and vote for the
| congressional and legislative candidates.
! The election of democrat in either
branch of the legislature or to congress
means Just so much towards free silver
and the reputation of our money. Let
every man do his duty and vote to
sustain the policy Of honest money.

Mr.. VAUGHAN-MR. CONWAY,

We note in an article in the Enter
prise of last week, the statement that
the taxpayers of Wood county have
been burdened by taxes by reason of
the fact that the republican district
attorney has had assistance to try i'm
pOrtant cases. 1t is true that the pres
ent district attorney had help to try the
Lord and Emery cases. But so did Mr..
Goggins, when he was district attorney,
and be was a democrat And he was
undoubtedly the best democratic attOr-
ney in Wood county. If Mr.. GOggins
required such assistance will not Mr..
Conway? The fact is, that in the trial
of such cases, it has been customary to
allow the district attorney assistance.
AS to the matter of Mr.. Vaughan having
assistance i'll a city case, the facts are,
that the case is one brought against the
city of Grand Rapids and the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical association, and
involves very many intricate questions
Prior to the death of the late Geo. r.
Gardner he was attorney for the Agri-
cultural association. Shortly after his
death the case was removed to Green
Bay for trial. When cases 90 to other
counties for trial it IS customary to get
assistant attorneys Of the county where
they will be tried. Such men as AttOr-
nev General Mylrea and the late Geo.
r. Gardner, as good attorneys as any in
Wisconsin,, had such local assistants
when they tried cases away from home.
There are great advantages in having a
local attorney to aid in the trial of diff
cult cases, and on this account solely
were the Green BAY attorneys employed
to aid Mr. Vaughan in that action. The
reader will further note that the Enter
prise does not claim that in any case
Mr.. Conway would be any better able to
get along without assistance than Mr..
Vaughan. 1t leaves the reader to imply
that he would. But there are no facts
to sustain the Implication. Tn fact what
is there stated is buncombe and nothing
else. Why don't our friends, the dem
ocrats, mention the fact that Mr.. Con-
way was clerk Of the court twice, and is
now asking a third term in county
office? Their arguments against MI
Berg, Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Havenor
also apply to Mr.. Conway.

High Wages offered,

Lacrosse, Wis, Oct. 27.-[Special. :
An illustration of what republican times
and Mrhlnley prosperity are doing for
the laboring men Of this section of the
country can be found in the condition of
things industrial recorded in this city.
1t has been understood generally among
lumbermen in Northern Wisconsin that
there would be lot of idle men here in
search of employment in the woods,
which is not true. A NJ. Arpin of the
Arpin Lumber company, Arpin, Wis,
came here some DAYS ago expecting to
pick up hundred experienced logeers
In no time. He remained here week
and then succeeded only in getting forty
men, and that, too, in the face of the
fact that wages are from s. to S. per
month hlgher-even more than that in
some cases-than last season. Mr..
Arpin went from here to st. Paul in
search of more men.

VIII You Be Ihere2

Voter, election is near at hand. Are
you going to the polls? Don't say YOU
are not interested in this election. for
you are. There is a big responsibility
resting with you, and your vote at the
coming election will have more weight
in shaping the future DESTINY of this
country and the state YOU live in, than
you little expect. You know best what
your condition is today and what it was
two years ago. You know how to per-
petuate it. If you voted the republican
ticket two wears ago, then, by all that is
great and good, YOU cannot afford at this
time TO vote different If you are for
sound money and one fthe best national
administrations ever given the American
people, you know how to vote. We ask
you to 90 to the polls and there let your
conscience dictate to you with which
party you care to take your chances.
This has been bad campaign Every
effort by the opposition has been used
to prejudice and poison the mind of the
voter. You have listened to them be-
fore and where have YOU ever profted
by their advice. Again we ask YOU to
20 to the pOlls-nOt alone. bat take Your
neighbOr with you. Vote as your CON
science dictates and you will vote right.

that Mr.. Minor has been right on all
important public questions. He helped
to secure the enactment of an adequate
tariff law, he has been a consistent sup
porter Of the cause of sound money and
as already shown, he contributed his
full share to the successful prosecution
of the late war. Moreover, he has done
as much to promote the interests Of his
district as the most efficient of his pred
ecessors. Whatever weakness he has is
due to the fact that he has failed to sat
isfy everybody in the appointments
which he has made or recommended
common experience of men in his posi-
ton. But such reasons for opposing
him are puerile and should count for
nothing with the great mass of voters as
against the fact that he has been true
from first to last to the principles es-
poused by his party and of good govern
ment in general

He IS ON EXHIBITION.
Such Was the Democratic Nominee for
Congress, Mr.. Sheridan.

congress, Nrr SherlQan,
If the audience that attended the
democratic rally last Thursday night at
the Grand Opera House is any indica-
ton ofthe prOpOrtionae number of votes
that party will cast Tuesday, they will
be very apt to rank as the third" party
in the future. But then, there were
many republicans in the audience
which scarcely numbered a hundred
who from a sense of fairness wished to
learn what kind of an argument the
demos were making this year. This
indicates very clearly how the people
feel, especially when it is considered
that Mr.. Sheridan of Green Bay, demo-
cratic nominee for congress, and that
eloquent young orator Mr.. Martin were
the star attractions. 1t must nave been
embarrassing for them to gaze upon the
empty chairs in the opera house,
Mr.. Sheridan opened the meeting by
saying he would make no extended
remarks, as he was to be followed by a
learned orator, which left room for the
impression that he was simply out on
exhibition. Mr.. Sheridan's remarks
were, evidently, studied for although he
asks the suffrage of the voters of the
district to place him in congress, he
never once alluded to national issues in
the campaign, in fact he tried to divert
the minds of his audience from national
issues to futile rehash of state issues.
The tariff question, the money question
and everything regarding the great
questions of the dav, so far as Mr.
Sheridan spoke, his listeners know rot
whether he has any opinion regarding
them, or that he had ever heard Of
them, for he was studiously silent.
Once he alluded to the war and Presi-
dent Mckinley, but it was i'll an effort
10 make an attack on Congressmau
Minor. This was done as clearing the
way for a more bitter assault by his
orator, Mr.. Martin, who followed him.
Mr.. Sheridan may rest assured that
while he may be considered as nice
young man by those who meet him, that
the voters will never trust the interests
Of this congressional district in his
hands. They desire in a representative
a man of opinion, who has the courage
Of his convictions if he has any
Mr.. Martin is very pleasant speaker,
agreeable to listen to but has a dramatic
way of making play TO the galleries.
He laid great stress on state issues, even
going into detail, and closed with a vim
dicative and uncalled for attack on Con-
gresham Minor which was reactionarv
in its result, as it injured the cause of
Mr.. Sheridan, and made votes for Mr..
Minor. The applying Of harsh epithets
is not convincing argument to intelli-
gent voters.

R. A. HAVENOR VS.. OTTO LEU.

We understand that Otto J. Leu.
candidate for county superintendent Of
schools upon the democratic ticket, is
going around the county posing as a
republican and asking men Of that faith
to vote for him. That is all right as far
as it goes. But in fact is he not support
ing and working for the whole demo-
cratic county and state tickets? Repub-
licans can you afford to further the
interests of man for Office whom you
know to be in touch and in sympathy
with the enemy. The motive of taking
the office of uperlntendent of schools
ont of politics is a good one, bat are the
democrats sincere in this instance? Is
Mr.. Leu sincere in this position? Re
publicans can you afford to favor and
vote for man who will lend his infu-
ence against your party when IN posi-
ton and power? We believe 1t is
dangerous ground. Our present super
intendent r. A. Havenor has been life
long republican, faithful and efficient in
the discharge of his office duties. Why
turn him down iol republican who has
gone in the enemy's camp for nomin-
alton because he was defeated in his
own party convention. Is there anv
good quality in Mr.. Leu that you cannot
find in Mr.. HavenOr. Who will make
the best superintendent? In what
particular have our public schools been
neglected? Can you find any fault with
the present incumbent's administration
of his office. We know that Wood
county never had a more conscientious
and capable superintendent than we
have at present We know that the
public schools have never been in better
condition than they are now. Why
take any chances in making a change
| Leave well enough alone and re-elect
the present incumbent whom we have
tried and not found wanting either in
principle or efficiency.
