NO STILL HUNT CAMPAIGN.

Hon. Charles j, Smith, of Viroqua,

publican nomination for member Of

preferred to the present representa-

Mr.. Babcock's record ON the para
mount issue in politics Is emincntly
sound, and is we'll known. In the
legislature, In congress, and In every
public utterance, he has declared him
self as uncompromisingly opposed to
the debasemont of tho currency
through free silver legislation. This
Is the position which his party has
chosen for the coming congressional
campaign, and he is therefore, II truly
representation Republican. He has
had valuable experience IN congress-;
has been very painstaking and indus
trious; and has made himself II
national reputation for party leader

As chairman Of the Republican con-
grcssional committee, he stands be-
fore the country rs representative of
his party, and of the administration:

A RASH UNDERTAKING.
Small Party of Pirates Seek 60 Capture
Spanish Town.


1.-THE Buccaneers of Our Coast" are de-
scribed by Frank Z. Stockton in St. Mich
olas. In the story he tells of one of the
adventures of two noted pirates who
thought they would vary their plan by
turning from the sea and making u land
expedition. Mr.. Stockton says:
The town which Roc and Tributor had
determined to attack was Merida, in Yu-
catan, and, although this was "a bold and
rash Undertaking, the two pirates wero
bold and rash enough for anything. Roc
had been prisoner In Merida and on ac-
count of his knowledge of tho town he be-
liaved that he and his followers could land
upon the coast and then rush upon tho I'M
suspccting garrison, and, having annihi-
lated these. make themselves masters of
the place.
But their plans did not work very we'll.
They were discovered after they had
landed by some Indians, who hurried to
Merida and gave notice of the approach of
the buccaneers. Consequently when Roc
md his companions reached the town they
found the garrison prepared for them. can
mons loaded and all the approaches guard
ed. still the pirates did not hesitate. They
advanced fiercely 60 the attack, just as they
were accustomed to do when they wero
boarding u Spanish vessel, but they soon
found that fighting on land was very diff
fcrcnt from fighting Mt sea. In Il marine
combat it is seldom that party OF board
crs is attacked in the rear by tho enemy
But on land such methods of warfare
should always be expected. Now, Roc and
Iributor did not expect anything of the
kind, and they were therefore greatly
dislnayod when party of horsemcn from

through the woods, suddenly charged upon
their rear Between the guns of the gar

buccaneers had very hard time. and it
was not long before they were completely
defeated. Tributor and Il great many of
the pirates wcro killed or taken, and Roc
the brazilian had-a terrible fall.
This most memorable fall occurred in
the estimation of John Esquemcling, who
knew all about the attack Gu Merida and
who wrote the account of it. But he had
