BULL MOOSE AT BAY.
Fights Pack of Wolves in Sight of

Duluth, Mimi, Mar. Last Friday
William Burnett and ]. ]. Gaynor, two
Duluth explorers, wandered at some
distance from their claims, thirty-hve
miles back of Chicago bay, in Cook
county, to look at certain lands. While
trudging along they came face to face
with a great bull moose. Neither of the
men had a gun. The men realized that
the moose meant mischief, and they

up and paved the showshoes and SEEM

Nearly three hours had passed, when
a pack of twenty wolves cautiously APP

game, and signified by his actions that
he would fight The wolves We're at first

remarkable, and he was as strong, APP

through the woods. AT last, while max

A CONFIDENTIAL DEMOCRAT.

Quite a prominent Democrat in this city
became communicative the other evening
when with Republican friends. He said that
his party friends expect to carry Marion
county. I'VE are not making any noise.'
said the Democrat ''but we shall get out
the Democratic vote in Marion county, in
fact, what you Republicans call Demo-
cratic apathy Is a screen behind which our
men are quietly, but effectively, doing
their work. We will not have large meet
ings; such meetings would arouse Repub-
licans TO fresh effort. We count on two
or three thousand stay-at-home Repub-
licans in Marion county. That means your
majority. Then we count On a thousand
votes from men who are Disguised with
Republicanism. So, on the whole, We will
give you surprise the night of the cleo
ton"
Whether this Democrat was bluffing or
was telling secrets, the Journal does not
know. 1t has the story from a prominent
Republican. 1t is a report worth looking
into, not only by committees but by Re-
publicans who are interested in carrying
that Republican conferences by the dozen
are held in different parts of the city, and
that whatever reports come from them
are favorable. 1t is large part of cam
paign, as General Grant once said, to know
what ''the other fellow is trying to do"
So in this campaign it is of the utmost
Importance to know what the other fellows
are doing. 1t would be unwise to assume
that they are doing nothing, or to find
| consolation in the remark of Mr.. John
| w. Kern at the meeting of the primary
election committee. namely, 'our fei-
lows have been compelled to draft
candidates in this county" Such
remark may be designed to lull
Republicans into a condition of false Sc
curity
The pending election is one of the ut
/ most Importance to the people of this
| county. A member of the national House
of Representatives is to be chosen; a
Legislature is to be elected which will
elect United States senator; State Off
GERS and county officers are to be chosen.
All reports from Indiana are to the effect
that Republicans are satisfied with nation
| al affairs and with the State admnistra-
ton. They would have no change that the
Democratic party could bring about. A
few things many Republicans would have
different from what they are, but on the
| whole all the conditions were never SO
favorable for wage-earners, farmers and
business men as they are at present Re-
publicans and most others are satisfied
to have present conditions rather than run
the risk of any change which will disturb
the conditions of general prosperity. Such
being the case, Republicans and others
who voted the Republican ticket in 1896
1898 and 1900 should vote it this year with
even greater alacrity. At that time they
took a great many things which Repub
leans promised on trust; now they know
that which was promised has come true

county and elsewhere to show that the
