A protest meeting, attended by fully
600 persons, was held last night in the
north side school building, at which the
following resolution proposed by c. F.
Smalley was passed:
Resolved. That it is the sense Of this
meeting that the school directors of
this district be requested to re-elect
Principal Evans for another year at a
salary of $500, if it can be done with
honor"
The original resolution requested that
Mr.. Evans be retained for another year
at his old salary of $1700, but NJ. H.
Murphy offered an amendment to in
crease the amount 800, which amend
ment was accepted by Mr. Smalley and
finally adopted.
Later on Judge Emil Baensch offered
a resolution to appoint committee of
five to confer with the board, the object
of which is to see If some way cannot
be devised to retain the present princi-
pal for another year. The following
committee was announced by the chair
man of the meeting, Judge j. S. Ander-
SON.
PRAISE FOR MR.. EVANS.
G. F. Smalley, E. l.. Kelly, E. G.
Nash, Mrs Ed ward Platt and Mrs. An
derson.
The same committee was charged with
drawing up resolution commendatory
of the work of Mr. Evans. 1t follows
WHEREAS that it is the sense of this
meeting that Mr. Evans, by his recog-
nized ability and conscientious perform
ance of duty, has, during the admins
tration as principal raised the standard
of our schools to an eminent degree,
earning the esteem of the parents, pa
irons and pupils of the school; and, it
being the sense of this public meeting
of the voters of the school district, that
in his proposed retirement the schools of
the district will suffer severe and de-
plorable loss.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
directors of the school are hereby re-
quested to reconsider all their actions in
relation to the resignation of Mr. Evans,
and that they request him to continue
in the performance of his duties as prin-
cipal of the north side school"
DETAIL OF MEETING.
Prior to the commencement of the
meeting the youths who were there in
large numbers, wildly cheered for Mr..
Evans. That he was popular among
them was repeatedly manifest. Even
after the election of Judge Anderson as
chairman the hurrahs were kept mp,
which compelled the judge TO warn
them that they were hurting The cause
of the principal, and he insisted that If
they were to remain at the meeting that
they keep still. Immediately on Judge
Anderson taking the gavel NJ. II. Muir
ply placed in nomination for secretary,
Frank Miller who was elected unani-
mously The judge thereupon address
ed the assembly. He said he was at a
loss Just what TO say. He knew nothing
of the object of the gathering except
what he had casually picked up on the

The Democratic state convention held
In Milwaukee ON Tuesday was one of
the most harmonious as well as one of
the most largely attended in the history
OF Democracy in this state 1t vas a
tribute to the able management of Gov.
Peck and it was full proof of the ear
nestness of the Democrats of Wisconsin
to not only make an aggressive cam
paign, but to abide and vote for the tic
ket which shall be named by the Kan
sas City convention.
The Manitowoc delegation was ably
championed by the county chairman.
John Chloupek. The county had six
teen votes and that they were voted
Alright, was the unanir7ous feeling of
the men who were elected delegates
The county, through wise coalition, was
able to get district delegate, William
Nash of Two Rivers being chosen. Be
fore the county delegation went to the
Cream City a pledge had been given TO
W. F. Gruenewald of Oshkosh to sun.
por him for district delegate. but when
the delegates from the Sixth district
went into caucus it was seen that
Gruenewald had no chance of election,
because Winnebago county was pledged
to stand by George Hilton for delegate
at-large, Recognizing the difficulty
facing them and thoroughly under
standing the meaning of its promise,
Chairman Chloupek, in the name of the
delegation, asked Gruenewald to release
II from its pledge Grunewald appre.
hended the situation and without anv-
ti-do, die as requested and things then
moved along smoothly.
The question of national committee
man did not come up. 1t had been left
to the delegates to nominate man and
both Wall and Ryan claim to have a
majority,
The temporary chairman of the con-
vention was Judge MGillan of Green
young man full of oratory whose elo-
quent denunciation of Republican mis-
rule, was loudly applauded Thomas
l., Cleary of Platteville was made per-
manent chairman. He also spoke elo-
quently. James l., O'Connor, we'll
known in this city, delivered himself in
vigorous language, exposing Republican
heresies in the course of his nominating
speech, when he proposed the name OF
Louis &. Bomrich of Kenosha for del
egate-at-large.
1t is said that 200 persons from this
state will go to Kansas City.

Herkimer. y. Y, Sept. s. - In
speech here last night Ex-Governor Da-
vid i. Hill closed as follows: IF
wise counsel shall prevail at the Sara
tOga convention next week, and We
proceed on right lines to plan for vic
tory instead of inviting defeat, and
shall so shape our course ana policies
as to deserve the support Of the great
Independent and conservative forces
of this state-always an important
factor in our electionS-and the thou
sands of Republicans dissatisfied with
the arbitrary machine rule of their
party. we can not only rescue the En-
pire State from further Republican
control. but can give our electoral
vote for our gallant national standard
hearer-William J. Bryan.
While diSa greeing with Mr.. Bryan
in some matters I need not reiterate
that l earnestly desire his election.
Ouropponents are entrenched in patron
age and power. and the struggle to
Dust them must necessarily be terrific.
The tide, however, is with us. The
skies are becoming brighter every day.
Let US then all work together en-
Enthusiastically for the cause and vic
tory is within our reach"
Senator Hill's appearance here &C.
casioned something of a sensation in
political circles. He came ostensibly
TO visit his old friend ex-Judge Earl,
of this place. He was met by Judge
Earl at the Central station, and went
with him to the Palmer House, where
they had dinner together. In the even
ing the Fort Dayton band serenaded
Hill and a large crowd of citizens as
sembled. He was introduced by Judge
Earl and made n speech, the chief fea-
ture Of which was reiterated declara-
tons in support of Bryan.
