SENTIMENT FOR GEN. MILES
Retired lieutenant General Has Strong
Support for Grand Army Conn
mander-in- Chief

Kansas City, Aug. lift the senti-
ments expressed by delegates passing
through Kansas Cityon their way to at
tend the Grand Army convention at San
Francisco represent the situation Lieu
tenan General Miles will be a formid-
able candidate for commandments
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic.
There are evidences that there is more
than a perfunctory organization Of the
campaign in behalf of the general.
Members of the official delegation of
the state of New York told reporter
that they had received letters to the eff
feet that General Miles would be a
candidate for commander-in-chief of
the G.. A. r., and urging their support
to his candidacy. They state that the
letters We're not from General Miles,
but from some one apparently empOw-
cred to represent him.
But j. 7. Stewart, present command
er-in-chief of the G. A. R., said to
reporter at the railway station: Gen

INCONSISTENCY OF.n PROGRESSED
REFORMERS.

The people of Wisconsin have heard
much the last three years IN advocacy
of political purity and political reform.
While tho sincerity Of the advocates
of these reforms has been doubted,
recent events have justified the
suspicion cast upon these selfcon-
stituted guardians of the people. one
of their contentious has been that the
people should have a direct voice in
naming their officials. The hvDocrisy
of the whole outfit is disclosed by the
administration attaches who are
travelling through the Third Wiscon-
sin Congressional district, enoeavor-
ing to bring out a candidate for
Congress in each county, whom they
think can carry his own home county.
The proposition, as given by one OF
the genGlemen, is to have these
candidates, one IL eacn county in the
district, Except in Juneau, where
Mr.. Babcock resides,) then pool
the votes in favor of SOL . mo man.
In other words, the pr DOsition is
to place the suffrages of the entire
Third Wisconsin district in the hands
of one man, a nonresident of the
district, who will select the candidate.
These parties who propose to thus
make political mer chandise of the
intelligent republicans of this dis
trict, confess that their only hope
lies in a conspiracy. Their admissions
weaken their position, and show to
the peoplelwhat their real motives are.
Some of the parties who have been
approached withs this proposition,
strong administration men, have ir-
dignantly rejected it as dishonest, at
variance with all former political
professions of reform, and in opposi-
ton to a pure public service.
No congressional district in the
United States has ever been given a
more faithful, conscientious service
than Mr.. Babcock has given this
Third congressional district. No
single want of constituent has been
neglected, and no effort has ever been
spared to serve the people faithfully
and conscientiously. This service
has been SO warmly appreciated by
the farmers and old soldiers of the
districtithat it will require more than
the efforts of few professed reform
ers to displaee him by an lily con-
ceived conspiracy.

a source is certain to be salutary in

crimes and to support those engaged

Of technically and delay
