Bryan's Acceptance Address.

We take pride in the acceptance
speech of William j. Bryan, to be
found in full on the inside pages of
our paper to-day. The concensus of
opinion even from republican view
iSthat it is the ablest presentation of
the issue Of the campaign that has yet
been made. His speech is in full har-
mony with the democratic platform.
Imperialism is the paramount issue Of
the campaign, not because the Kansas
City platform so declares, but because
the purposes and policy of Mr.. Nc
Kfnley and his administration have
made it it such. 1t is folly to talk of
tariffs, bimetallism, coinage and meth
DDS of taxation, when the very exist
ence of our republican form OF govern
ment is in peril. What Mr.. Mckinley
described as criminal agression' is
the policy of his administration and
creates the issue of republic or empire;
whether our free institutions shall
survive or perish. Imperialism is
where there is taxation without repre-
sentation; where people are governed
without their consent; it is the con-
quest of territory by force and the
government of its people without CIV
| ing them any voice therein. This is
the policy Of the administration and
this has made Imperialism the par
mount issue.

DEATH OF MRS. GEORGE NIXON.

Scarcely had the memorial roll of
old settlers deceased, between Thurs
day, AUG. 81, 1899, and Thursday,
August so, 1900, been published when
we are called upon to record the death
Of another pioneer of Kenosla county.
The old settlers annual reunion
was held on Thursday, and the next
day, Friday, August 81, at $3.50 in the
evening, Mrs. Nixon passed away aged
" years, months, and q days.
The immediate cause Of her death
was an acute attack of indigestion.
She had been visiting her sister, Mrs.
B1acknan, in P1attvi11e, ILL.,, the pre-
vious four weeks, where she was taken
sick and died.
Funeral services were held in Plat
vile conducted by Rev. O. B. Reed, OF
that city. The remains accompanied
by her two sons and several other near
relatives arrived at Woodwork
station on the 4:33 train. A large con-
course of neighbors and friends met the
remains and accompanied them TO the
graveyard and they we're laid beside
her husband, who died twenty-eight
years before. Mr.. Nixon came to Wis
sin in 1883, and Mrs. Nixon came in
1872. Two sons survive, Hon. James
Nixon, of Lebanon, Mo-, who has
reoided there the past thlrty-three
years, and George Nixon, of Bristol.

WILL MEET SEPT 29
Kencsha Republicans to Meet in
County Convention to Name Can
didates for County Officers.
COUNTY TO BE ORGANIZED.
Headquarters VIII Be Opened at once.
and Big Republican Club Will be
Formed Saturday Evening.

The Republican County Committee
held a special meeting this afternoon
at the Office of the chairman, A. E.
Bucknaster, for the purpose of arrang-
ing for the holding of the county
convention and the attending caucuses
of the party. The meeting was very
enthusiastic one, nearly all the towns
being represented. In the country
towns the work of the campaign has
already been started, and there is
every reason to believe that Kenosha
county will be III the Republican
column at the election. From all
parts of the country comforting re-
ports are being received and the mem
bers of the committee were most
sanguine in their claims, some stating
that the ma jority for the Republicans
in the county would be greater than
ever before, At the meeting it was
decided that the county will be
thoroughly organized at once. Clubs
will be formed in every town and
room will be leased at once to be used
as the Republican headquarters. Tons
of Republican literature has been re-
ceived in the city and it will be started
to the voters in a few days.
After considera BILE discussion it was
decided that the convention of the
party will be held in this city on
Saturday, Sept. 29nd. The caucusses
will be held on the preceding We'd
nesday. There are already an abund-
ance of candidates in the field for all
the county Offices and the convention
will undoubtedly be aninteresting one.
The work of organizing, the Repub-
licans of the city will be started at
once and the meeting has been called
for Saturday night, at Simmons Hall,
to organize Republican Club. This
club will have charge of the campaign
in connection with the county COM
nittec. Their officers will largely
have charge of the management of the
campaign and d secretary VIII be hired
TO have charge Of the headquarters of
the party for the county. With such
club the committee intend to make the
campaign an aggressive one and carry
the fight into the very strongho1ds of
the enemy. 1t is most necessary that
every Republican in the county be
present at the meeting on Saturday
evening. Two Democratic clubs have
already been organized in the city and
it is high time thai the G. O. P. was in
line with strong band of campaign
fighters. There VIII be no expense in
connection with the club as it will be
a club for worI; rather than for show.
There will Be no uniforms 10 buy but
every man i'll the club will be expected
to do his part toward winning g1or-
ious victory for the Republican ticket
at the coming election. Other clubs
vii be organized at Randall, Somers,
Wi1mot aud Salem at the same time
