LETTER FROM MR.. HOLLAND.

DEAR STR:-In the edition Of your
valued paper Of Thursday, Sept. lst,
/ notice you call upon me to state
my position on L. :. Senator, and
also to declare my intention to OBJ
serve the pledges Of the party as set
forth in the republican state plat
form. | am glad to avail myself OF
the earliest opportunity to comply
with your request and thank you IN
advance for the priyeledge.
Relative to my choice FOR L. ;.
Senator | Will say that my choice,
if nominated and elected, Will be the
wish or choice of "A majority of the
delegates constituting the conVen-
ton. My announcement in the >.
w. Wisconsin ia relation to your
other question, seems to me TO be so
plair that il needs no further eX-
PLANTATION, viz, "Should | be nomin-
ated and elected, shall take pleas

Wisconsin please copy
Mr.. Hollands declaration that if
nominated and elected member OF
the assembly he will be governed in
in voting for L. =. Senator by "the|
wish or choice of a majority OF the
delegates constituting the conVen-
tom implies that he expects the
convention to formally express itself
upon this question. This would he a
very proper thing for the convention
to do, but difficulty to be antici-
pated is that with four or five candi-
dates for t.. :. Senator in the field,
no one OF them is likely to be the
choice Of u majority Of the conven-
ton. 1t is more probable that ma
iority could be brought to agree upon
whom Hcy donf n0h
Mr., Holland disappointed many Of
his friends by actively csDousing the
cause Of Babcock for denomination
to congress, and they have right to
assume that he favors our represent
tative for senator Those most ac-
tive in support of Mr. Hollands cam
ddacy are pronounced Babcocll adj
hereuis, ANA doubtless Mr.. Holland
is IN accord with them now rs lie
was before the congressional CON
ventiou. He may therefore be eN-
pected to support Babcock for Sena-
tor in preference to Quarles, Cook
LaFolle;te or any other candidate
while majority of the republicans
of the county may prefer either of
these to our "A. g.
Under the circumstances, Mr.. Hol-
lands statement is equivocal and
unsatisfactory. He must see the
improbability that majority of the
convention will agree on choice for
senator, in which case he would be
at liberty 70 vote his own preference
Therefore, he and the other candi-I
dates for assembly should frankly
state before nomination, their iudi-
yidual choice Tor Senator. Then, the
convention having nominated him
with full understanding OF his views,
he will he entirely free 20 act in ac-
cordance with those views II elected.
If Mr.. Holland fayurs Babcock for
senator let him SO state. Then, t.

ADMIRES OUR ARMY.
FRENCH MILITARY ATTACHE HAS
BEEN LOOKING ON AT SANTIAGO.
THE WORLDS FINEST FIGHTING MEN.
How They Differ from OId-WorId
soldiers-Their Peculiar Character
OF Individual Initiative--Their Self
Reliance and Impetuosity.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Major de
Granprey, military attache Of the French
embassy, has just returned from the
American headquarters near Santiago,
where he has been observing for his gov
eminent the progress Of military opera
tions. He paid a glowing tribute to the
fighting ability Of our soldiers.
II have the most complete admiration
for your men," said Major de Granprey
20 an Associated Press reporter to-day.
They are a superb body, individually
and as an army, and / suppose not
throughout the world is there such a
splendid lot Of fighting men. 1t is the
fighting character OF the men which is
most apparent. They are aggressive,
eager for action, never needing the voice
OF an officer to push them forward. An
other marked characteristic is the self
reliance OF each man; what we call the
character OF initiative. Ii is almost UNI
known In European armies, where every
movement. and the move TO meet each
action of the enemy, awaits the initiative
of an officer but with your men they
fight to the front, meeting each emer-
gency as 1t arises, overcoming obstacles
by their own initiative. Such self-reliant
fighting men make an exceptionally i'm
petuous army, for every unit contributes
to the irresistible onward movement. The
Spanish troops do not have this same
characteristic. They are more passive;
more cautious. Besides the impetuOsity
OF each fighting material, 1t has the ef-
feet Of inspiring Il morale among the
troops; making them feel that success is
assured, and at the same time carrying
disorder and depression to the ranks OF
the enemy"
DIFFERENCE IN WARFARE.
Major de Granprey says tho fighting
about Santiago IS something entirely diff
ferent from the warfare OF European and
other armies Of modern times. rhe dense
vegetation and tangle Of tropical vines
make it impossible TO observe the usual
military formations. AS q result, there
is little or no effort to fight in solid for
nation. Every man Is fighting for him
self, pushing forward through the shrub
berry, vines, and tall grass. 1t is impos-
sible to see the enemy
Major de Granprey also speaks highly
Of the efficiency with which the Ameri-
can troops and supplies were started on
their expedition and debarked in Cuba.
This has come in for considerable crit-
cism in this country. but Major de Gran
prey says that, considering the brief time
allowed for equipping the expedition, re-
markable results were secured. The Eu-
ropean military expeditions, such as those
Of England or France to Africa or other
points, he says. are planned six months
ahead, which allows ample time for work
ing out the most minute details.
