REQUEST FOR FEDERAL TROOPS.
WASHINGTON, October l2-Late to-
night a telegram was received by the
War Department from Governor Tanner,
OF Illinois. requesting that the Fifth lii
rois Regiment, now on furlough be placed
at his disposal to quell the riotous de-
monstrations at Virden, III.
The situation at Virden is represented
as critical, and Governor Tanner is en-
barrassed because all the Illinois State
troops, practically. are in the service of
the United States. He is unable to order
to the scene of the miners troubles any
OF the Illinois troops in the service of
the government without the authority
Of the Secretary OF War.
NO RESPONSE YET.
Thus far no decision has been reached
by the officials at the War Department
concerning Governor Tanners request
The matter involves some difficulties
which preclude the possibility of a hasty
decision. II will be submitted to Secre-
tary Alger tomorrow morning, and late
tonight Adjutant-General Corbin said
that the probabilities are that the regi-
ment will be placed at the disposal OF
Governor Tanner

BY YEAS AND NAYS.

Gov. Scohcld vetoed the Sleeping
car and Express bills because upon
their passage the vote was not taken
by yeas and nays m u good and sulii-
cient reason for Withholding executive
approval from any measure which
imposes, continues or rencws II tax.
But some lawyers set up the claim
that these bills were not properly
tax measures and that therefore the
constitution was not disrcgardcd in
their passage without the yaes and
nays being taken. In the public
mind, however, revenue measures OF
OF all kinds are very closely associat-
ed with laws which impose taxes.
II any clear distinction exists 1t
must take vast amount OF legal
ability and research to find 1t one.
In some states no law can be passed
without the vote being taken by yeas
and nays, nor without IN affirmative
vote of majority of all the members
OF each house. The constitution ought
to be so amended that these require
ments would apply To all law making
In Wisconsin. Money measures are by
no means the most important bills
which come before the legislature
for consideration and passage.

upon the city and state which 1t

that, amid the waves of populism

FOR MEMBER OF CONGRESS-.
j. w. BABCOCk.

At the Third district Republican
convention, at Spring Green, on Tues
day, Hon. j. w. Babcock was renom
mated for representative in congress
He was nominated upon the frs
formal ballot, receiving II votes to |
votes for Hon. II. l.. Joiner, and i
for Hon. G. j. Smith; and on motor
the nomination was made unanimous
Upon being notified OF the action o
the convention, Mr.. Babcock appeared
and delivered an able speech OF ac
ceptance. Upon the financial question
he was explicit, outspoken, and sound
He said:
"The Fifty-third congress, while
il was called Democratic, had
really n Populistic majority in the
Democratic caucus and 1t refused
to sustain President Cleveland in
his efforts to maintain the gold
reserve and the credit of the
country.
"There is no one thing in the
world that a Populist fears and
breads so much as he does a
bond. And when the whole world
became fearful that our obliga-
lions might be paid In silver, and
we were confrunted with u return
of bonds and stocks across the
water that had to be taken up and
paid for in gold. the Democratic
congress refused to authorize the
president to issue bonds, and
forced him to go back to the
specie resumption act for author
ity to raise money to maintain the
gold reserve, placing upon the
market through syndicates some
1880, 000, 900 in bonds. believe
today that II that congress had
stood behind the administration
and given notice to the world that
our obligations should be main
tanned and that the faith OF the
government as pledged should be
honestly carried out that no ne
COSTLY would have arisen for the
issuance OF bonds and that moth
ing would have been heard about
the grecnback and the endless
chain. II was the loss OF conf
dcncc in congress and the fear OF
free coinage that brought upon us
the disaster and the enormous
losses of the panic.
AS IL member of congress Mr.. Bah
cock gave practical, substantial sup
port to the financial policy stoutl.
by Mr.. Cleveland in hi'
splendid state papers and ably pre-
scented to perverse senate 10y Mr.
Villas; and upon that account h'
deserved and received the support o
many gold Democrats, both in lSo.
and In 1896. Mr.. Babcock's brave
and manly words above quoted will be
highly appreciated by sound none,
Democrats everywhere, and ought tt
increase his majority at the polls il
