POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
HoneruI nr Miscon.in.-nono.-ati !

Hopeful OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
hope grows with every report from Wis
consin. All signs indicate that the po-
litical turmoil in the Badger State is great
er at present even than it was at the cor
responding period Of the campaign which
resulted in giving the Wisconsin electoral
vote to Cleveland. AT that time the Ger
mans were not nearly so disaffected as
apparently they are at present. Nor were
the Democrats locally in such an advan-
tageOus position. Almost without excep-
tion every important city and town in the
State IS now in the hands OF the Demo-
Gratis. In the municipal elections during
the past two years the Republicans have
been swept from power and organization
Democrats now hold the reins Of govern
ment throughout the State. This is a fact
Of vital importance. which the party man
ayers are just beginning TO take into ac-
count II is true that German disaffection
on local issues largely contributed TO this
result. but it is cOntended that these is
sues are "a potent in Wisconsin today as
Jhey were when they resulted in such
disaster TO the Republicans. Mayor Rose

keean failed to get the attention which

ceeded in carrying his point. and now the
party managers are preparing to take full
advantage OF the situation in Wisconsin,.
Despite the efforts Of the Republican man
ayers 10 make IL appear that silver Is still
the leading issue between the parties. il
appears certain that among the Germans
OF Wisconsin imperialism and militarism
are given the position Of prominence which
the Democratic National Convention ac-
corded them in its platform. With only a
