After careful reading of the first public utterance of the ex-Governor in which he as forced to bow to the imperative demand of the people. that Is the ex-offielals who met him in the Morris, Hotel, we fail to find one single principle or issue presented upon which the people ara asked to upset Governor Jelks and turn down his administration of State affairs save personal one, viz; an appeal to the white Democrats to say. by their votes. whether the action of the convention two years ago in failing to mention rx-,iov- urnor Johnston's name shah be permit ted to stand" Let it be remembered that this failure to mention him or his ad-
 ninistratlon was due to his own acts. He overturned the wishes of the people for new constitution by recalling the 1egislatur@ and by official and ether power forced repeal of the act which he had approved. The people resented this in the most positive manner when
 they overwhelmingly defeated him in his
 race for Senator and when in State ccn-
 Neption they passed his administration by
 without notice. These rebukes will stand.

 Former Governor Johnston supplements Tho Registers remarks of yesterday and confirms the accuracy of this paper s statement that the issue upon which he is to run is personal one. He bases his announcement Of his candidacy upon the fact that he was unjustly condemned ny partisan passion. notwithstanding an effi- cient and brilliant administration of the States affairs, and that he deserves a vindication. He believes that the pas sion has subsided and the Democrats of the State are now ready to do him sub stantiaI justice. He does not want the honor or the emoluments of the gover- norship. but declares that the reproaeh upop his public service. his name and hts children should not be allowed to re- main.

 In administration circles here the behef is expressed that Wisconsin VIII retusn Mir.
