La Toilette discussion is the warm feel
ing of sympathy between the Democratic
press and the Milwaukee haIf-breej or

shown to declare war on citizens not lin
ing up On the La FO cite business is re

have to believe in La FolIetteism if they
don't want to. There is no excuse fer
any such course on the part of those
close to the governor.

June 80, Says:-Mr. Ell. O. Basford, who
has been connected with newspaper
work at Austin for the past forty years,
finds his health so much impaired that he
has had to sever his connection with the
Register. Hewili go to Colorado. Lam

paper was conducted by d. W BaIlou,
one If the brainiest editors Wisconsin
ever had.
Eau Claire Leader: Governor La Fol-
lette may have cogent reasons for dis
charging so many cid soldiers from the
capitol and putting young men in their
places. The Grand Army men are feel
ing dissatisfied and are drawing compar
isons between the course pursued by the
governor and the practices of his pre-
decessOrs, Upham and Scofield, who in
yariably gave old soldiers the preference
whenever they could.
New York Herald:-The fact is that

governing marriage and divorce into
congress and so make them unif I'm:

the increasing diss ltisfaction is running

The Standard Democrat: An alleged
pension detective who g; his name as
}. W. Doyle, and who was operating in
WaIworth several DAYS ago is now
wanted by government officials He per-
Suaded three WalwOrth pensioners that
they had been reported to Washington as
not deserving a pension and after as
Stunning to investigate their cases, he
worked each of them for few dollars
for affidavits, etc, and told then
not to worry. He claimed that his head
quarters were with Pension Agent COe at
Milwaukee, but Mr.. Coe knows nothing
of him and is seeking his wheretb uts.
Appleton Post, Rep:-We said that citi-
zen La Toilette surreptitiously did what
he conld to reduce Governor Scofield's ma
] frity in 1893, if not to compass his defeat.
In evidence we cited the result in La Fol-
iettes own county where ScGfeld ran l.! 90
behind his ticket. If this was not the
formers work OF the legitimate fruit If
his example, then no more was the tJu n
ing OF Oneida county, New York, against
Blaine in 1894, due to the attitude of
Roscoe C0nkling. The later and his
friends, however, never denied such re-
spOnsibility. LaFOllette's tactics was the
same as the other disgrunted politicians
and therefore his responsibility was pre-
ciseiy the same.

survey of the electric railway extension
to Oc0n0mOwoc from Waukesha Beach is
being made, and the grade stakes are al
ready placed for some distance, begin
ming at point on the Beach property
already touched by the railway. The
work being done and arrangements al
| ready made, appear to leave no doubts
as to the purpose Of the company to soon
ing the extension about which there has
been SO much said for two years past.
1t is an important thing to Waukesha
that this line should be completed and a
distinct benefit is certain to accure to
business interests here.
why not extend the line to Water
town? LEdit0r.)
GAINESVILLE Gazette Senator White
head needs no apologies from the State
Journal, or any other half-breed organ.
| While he stood ready, as did many of his
colleagues, to meet the governor on any
reasonable proposition in the interests of
harmony and party welfare, ne was never
ready to sacrifice his manhood or his
honest convictions to the will and dicta-
ton OF a demagogue.
Governor LaF0llette has yet to learn
that office does not add to mans stature,
and that there are several men in the
state of Whitehead's class that can
neither be bulldozed nor intimidated.
| Senator Whitehead is not an impulSive
man, and is not governed by cratic emo
tiOns. He has a mimi of his own, how
ever, and when his decisions are formed
they are usually final.
If the governor had shown any dispO-
sition to consult anybody but his bench
men, he would have found Mr.. Whitehead
a ready listener and conservative, level
headed adviser. This was not part of
his programme, and if he could not die
tate he was ready to ruin.
He deliberately abandoned the best
opportunity that man ever had to bring
harmony out of discord and added Insult
to injury by message that measured the
size Of the man. Mr.. Whitehead, like a
host of consistent Republicans, is not IN
sympathy VITA the man OF his ref m
| measures.
