A Register reporter called upon Hon.
M. D. Post, chairman Of the Democratic
Executive Committee of the First dis
trict. after the Opera House meeting
last night and secured statement
from him concerning the alleged cEal-
lenge for a joint discussion between
Mr.. Blair and Capt. Dovener in Ben
wood Saturday night. Mr.. Post said:
Il have noticed considerable discus
sion in the newspapers relative 10 a
possible joint discussion in Benwood,
but | have received no communication
whatever from the Republican Con-
gressional Committee. looking to such
joint discussion. | have consequently
concluded that no Joint discussion was
desired, and have arranged and adver-
tised Massrs Blair, Davis and Howard
for Benwood on Saturday night. All
the details of the Democratic meeting
have been arranged. The speakers Will
be present and the people are hoping
to hear all of these able gentlemen. AT

The Intelligencer is evidently afraid

him into disrepute. He has been
singled out above every ether Demo-
cratic candidate for roasting when-
ever a pretext could be found for such
a thing, and the malignancy of the
paper has been prolific subject for
discussion about the city. Abuse OF q
candidate is not argument, and gen.

or punishment to the villifier-some-
times both. The Inteligencer has had

THE WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN takes
exception to the Democratic county
committees call, in Jefferson, because
all are invited to the caucuses "who
desire to affiliate with the Democratic
party" Brother Norris wants that
Invitation cOuntermanded at once.
He is willing to permit all Bryan
Democrats to participate, but all
others must either go to the Repub-
lican caucuses or stay at home. OF
course, the Democrats of Jefferson
county will cheerfully comply with
the wishes of THE REPUBLICAN.-Ju-
neau Telephone.
THE REPUBLICAN has no desire to
further decimate the ranks Of the
Democratic party, or parties, by a
bugaboo scare, bny simply to set the
Democratic county committee on the
right road, as their Interpretation of
the provision was undoubtedly faulty
in the respect cited. 1t also desires
to protect persons from committing
misdemeanor, and therefore from
mourning the penalty provided for
violation of the caucus law. Brother
Kelley's attempted sarcas n is en-
tirely out Of place, and certainly not
in keeping with his hitherto spotless
reputation as a truly law-abiding
citizen. Honest political education,
Brother Kelley, is demanded by the
people, and certainly purity at the
caucus is as much desired as purity
at the ballot-box. Therefore, be Just,
Brother Kelley, and tell your readers
that The REPUBLICAN is right, and
advise those who did not vote for w
J. Bryan to remain away from the
Democratic Caucuses. The following,
from chapter 312, laws of 1897, is
again quoted that you may make no
mistake:
"The electors of the caucus district,
ward, village or town in which the
caucus is held. who VOTED THE TICKET
OF THE POLITICAL PARTY FOR WHICH
SAID CAUCUS WAS CALLED AT THE LAST
GENERAL ELECTION, shall be entitled
to vote"

That Joint Debate.

Though Charles E. P. Pullen has
not been widely known in politics for
a very long timehe has already shown
ability in political fighting. He is
very much in earnest, he tries to be
thorough, and heisusually courteous.
1t is the more to be regretted, there
fore, that he should have employed
the old, familiar trick Of suggesting a
joint discussion which there was no
likelihood of bringing about. Every
body is acquainted with this method
of political " arfare 1t is easy to
challenge a M an to a joint debate.
Nothing is needed but pen, ink, paper
and little resolution And when
the man who is challenged declines to
accept, 1t is easy to say, and easy to
make many innocent persons believe,
that the challenge was declined
through fear-fear due to suspicion
that ones cause is weak, or to a be-
lief that ones opponent is too for
midable antagonist.
Agreat many persons, familiar with
the 'fake" challenge to a Joint debate,
will naturally put Mr.. Pullen's chal-
lenge to Senator Spooner in the same
category. We do not believe that it
belongs there. We have seen no evil
dence to prove that Mr.. Pullen is 60
ing about saying that Mr.. Spconer,
because he declined this challenge, is
afraid either OF the weakness of his
cause or of the strength of his antag.
onist. We believe that Mr.. Pullen
would be pleased if Mr.. Spooner had
accepted. But it is difficult to sup.
pose that Mr.. Pullen thought there
was even aremote probability of Mr.
spooner's accepting. A United States

The REPUBLICAN has been an ad

HE REPUBLICAN has been an ad-
mirer Of Governor Scofeld ever since
he went into office. We have always
liked his frank manliness, his superb
backbone, his manifest endeavor to
do what he considered right. We
think he has made a strong and safe
chief executive-one of the best we
have ever had. We do not consider
that his mistakes have been so num-
erous and grave as his political enc
mics represent. On the whole, we
think the state of Wisconsin might
we'll feel proud Of Governor Scofeld
and his administration. With this
view of matters, we certainly consid-
er him entitled to a second term and
a splendid endorsement at the polls.
But the fight waged against him, and
the numerous charges some Of them
utterly silly-trumped up against
him, have ieopardized his prospects
and those of the Republican party,
and perhaps it would be best to abol-
ish precedent and drop him as a
gubernatorial possibility. We donot
mean by this that Mr.. La Toilette
should Oe taken up. Far from it.
His nomination, we think, in view OF
past events and the faction he trains
with, would be political suicide, how
ever earnest he himself may be in his
efforts toward reform in state affairs.
Perhaps after all, as The Milwaukee
Sentinel suggests, a desirable third
man is the best way out OF the diff
Guilty. In this connection we have
been thinking what is the matter
with Lieutenant Governor Emil
Baensch?

senator, belonging to one of the large
political parties, meeting on the
stump a candidate for the same par
tvs nomination for governor, and
discussing with him the qualifications
of the other candidate this would
indeed be an extraordinary spectacle.
Mr.. Sp- oner has treated the sugges-
ton with something nearly resem-
bling derision, and unbiased Repub-
licans will think Mr.. Spooner entirely
right.
The practice of calling upon a man
who expresses an opinion about poll
tics to defend that opinion in Joint
debate is too much like calling upon
him to make bet. He may dislike
betting. He has an equal right to
dislike joint debate upon the terms

THE WAR.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June News
has been received here confirming the
report from Port Autonio yesterday of
the sinking of the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror, (Furor) by the
United States battleship Oregon. 1t
appears that the battleship Oregon
saw long craft sneaking close to the
shore heading toward the harbOr.
She signalled the craft to turn to and
the signals were improperly answered,
whereupon the Oregon opened fire
upon her. A thirteen inch shell struck
the torpedo boat amidships and she
sunk with all hands. The vessel is
supposed to have been the Spanish
torpedo boat destroyer Terror, trying
to make her way from Porto Rico into
the harbor Of Santiago De Cuba.

BOTTLED AND CORKED.

That is the condition into which
Admiral Cervsra has gotten his feet
in the harbor Of Santiago De Cuba.
For some time it has been definitely
known to the navy department that
the Spanish feet was in this bottle.
shaped harbor, and the American
squadroDs, under Admiral's Sampson
and Schley, have kept close watch
that the Spaniard did not escape.
The plan of filling the channel to the
harbor entrance with debris of some
kind or other has been under consid-
Grafton for several days, and sinking
of worthless vessels was finally de.
cided upon. The question as to how
this hazardous task should be per-
formed was finally solved, when Ad.
miral Sampson called for volunteers
to guild boat into the channel and
sink it. Over 1000 brave boys i'm.
mediately asked to be assigned to
that daring feat. Seven meu were
chosen, and under command of Lieut..
Hobson, the merchant vessel Merri-
mac steamed into the very face of the
land batteries and the guns of the
Spanish feet. When the vessel had
reached the proper point the gallant
crue of seven cody turned her cross.
wise of the channel and blew her up,
leaping themselves into the water to
save their lives
The men we're all picked up, Ger
vera going himself for that purpose,
and :aade prisoners Of war, only two
being slightly injured. The Spanish
Admiral being struck by the audac.
ity and cool bravery of the men, i'm
mediately sent word, under flag ot
truce, to Sampson to assure him that
the American boys we're alive and
we'll. The annals of ancient or mod
ern warfare do not furnish a more
striking example of patriotic bravery
than is here exhibited. The men had
scarcely one chance in ten thousand
for escape from death, and yet it i;
said many shed fears because they
we're not permitted to go. Steps have
already been taken for an early ex
change for these brave prisoners, anC
if it costs all the Spanish prisoner
we have to get their release we'll still
be ahead on the deal.
