DEMOCRATIC CITY CONVENTION

The Democratic City Convention for
| the city of Wausau was held in the
| Court House last Saturday evening.
The convention was called to order at
7:30 O'Clock, by John Ringle. chairman
of the city committee.
Mr.. Ringle, in his opening remarks
to the convention, made an eloquent
plea for democracy. He said, in part,
that thinking men of the nation were
looking towards the democratic party
as the bulwark of American liberties,
the safe guard of American institutions.
He deplored the existing condition of
our city today, and called attention
to the shameful disregard, by public
officials, of the best interests of the peo-
Pile, saying that he did not believe the
better element of the republican party
were in sympathy with the actions of
said officials whom he likened to a GER
tain class of men who always follow in
the wake OF a victorious army seeking
for spoil and plumber.
On motion, F. w. Kickbusch, Sr.,
was chosen temporary chairman, and
E. j. Ritieman, secretary. The COM
mittee on permanent organization, con-
sisting of DR.. B. Fl. Conlin, L. X.
Wright and Henry j Pagenkopf recon-
mended that the temporary organiza-
ton be made permanent, which recon-
mendation was adopted by the conven-

particular platform be adopted, letting
the ticket as a whole, and the honesty
