Or. Bard established such a reputation
for willingness to fight that few pre-
sumed to provoke his anger. He was

ENTHUSIASM aside, and viewed
strictly from business and patriotic
point, the republican national plat
form is one of the greatest, II not the
greatest, ever adopted by any politi-
cal party. The patriotic achieve
ments Of the Mckinley administra-
ton, not surpassed by those OF any
administration in our history, would
alone have made a grand platform.
But the republican party never con-
tents itself with plaudits for its past
achievements. 1t is u party OF con-
structive action, thereby differing
radically from it's opponents, and III
the platform points out what 1t pur-
poses to d with every important
question now before the public.
There il no struddling, no evasion.
1t is flat-footed declaration OF all
the principles for which the repub-
lIcan party stands, and if patriotism
controlled all votes it would receive
the support ofuiue-teuths of the vo-
tiers Of the country in November ;
but, of course, it will not appeal to
those who vote the democratic ticket
because their fathers and grand
fathers did. Nothing can change
that clpss of voters.

Badger State Banner Below we
give the fourth iuslaIlment OF press
comments on the candidacy of Hon.
X. NJ, La Toilette for governor. But
little less than three quarters of a
hundred papers have been quoted.
Besides there are many others which
have said kind things about Mr.. La
Toilette ia an incidental way, and
which we did not deem IL worth
while to quote. OF course there are
some which we have not seen at all.
Atuuy rate, II is a very remarkable
showing, and would have been more
so but for the restraining PRESSURE
brought to bear from certain powers
that be. Could the whole press have
been free to speak its innermost
thoughts ana true mind we believe
there would be only one candidate
now.

Louisville Cuurier-Jonrnal tDem.):
Mr.. Mckinley is not an ideal leader,
but he is an ideal follower. He has
not the aggressive force, the granite
firmness, which enable IA man to
bend party TO his will and make
of il his instrument rather than
make of himself its agent. Bat he is
intelligent, honest and patriotic. He
tries to do lis duty. He wants to do
what is best foI his party and for the
country, believing that is also best
for Mckinley. g Theodore
Roosevelt brings to the ticket just
the things Mckinley cannot give it..
He is in every way McKinley's com
plement--in age, in temperament, in
record, in influence. He will supply
the magnetism and inspire the ar
dor necessary to a hurrah campaign.
He will light the. torches and wave
the flags. Bus he will do much more
than that. He will attract large
element of the Independent vote,
which thinks for itself, which rebels
against boss rule, which recognizes
and admires brains, courage ana in
tegrity. There is no man in the
country who has larger following
among this class than Roosevelt, and
It is u class which is daily growing
stronger and more assertive in the
affairs of government. But Roose-
velt's strength will be even greater
among the young men, among the
full-blooded Americans of action
and progress, who believe in fighting
when fighting is necessary, and who
however proudly they may look
back on their couutry's past, look
forward TO its future even more
proudly.

Mrs. McAuley olives in little cottage
at Twelfth and Jackson streets, and Bro
den has been a. frequent visitor at the
place His presence was not welcome,
however, acGrdinglito Mrs. McAuley, and
his persistency in calling, SO Mrs. Nc
Auley declares, led to the shooting. She
does not deny having shot at Broden,
but says she only intended to brighten
him away. She says Broden swore at her,
when she ordered him out of the house
and that she fred at him to intimidate
him.
The shooting took place In the yard In
front of the house. Pedestrians were at
traeted by loud words between the man
and woman, and witnessed the woman
suddenly run back into the house. She
returned in moment, feurishing re-

department with having padded Its iig-

There is nothing to the charge" said
Mr.. Haas. Our figures are correct and
our books prove it. The architect for the
