Two weeks ago the Prior npblisbe,

Two weeks ago the Pilot published
an editorial urging that E. G. thinner
man, Wausau's popular mayor, be
chosen as candidate for governor of
Wisconsin by the democrats. We be-
lieved then, and are of the opinion still,
that the chances of securing his nomin-
alton are equal if not better than those
of any other gentleman who has been
mentioned for that honorable position.
Inside of twenty-four hours after the
PILoT's article was published, there
was a good healthy boom in every city
in the state for our mayor for governor,
which was only suppressed by Mr. I'm
norman making statement that he
positively declined to become a candi-
date. Hence, his enthusiastic friends
are prevented from jumping out into
the political arena and making fight
for his nomination at this time, which
they would dearly love to do.

GoRMAN and Rockefeller have de-
clared for Roosevelt This is tough on
the reorganlzers. who thought they
were going 10 have a campaign of
education instead of q campaign of
dollars. However if it comes to a cam
paign of money we guess the re-organ-
lzers can find some of the sinews of
war At any rate it has been openly
charged against US by the republican
press that Wall street is for Judge
Parker. although it certainly looks now
as II Wall street was greatly divided.
The fact probably is that Wall street
does not icare much this time which
party wins, and will make such contri-
buttons to both as may be necessary Ia
grease the campaign machinery to a
respectable smo0thness.

The Boston Pilot, which has ardentIv
supported the republican party for
many years past, has announced that il
VIII continue its support of that parry
during the present campaign. MANY
republican papers, unaware of the fact
that the Boston Pilot has been repub-
llcan partisan, proclaim this as con
vert to Rooseveltism. On the other
hand what it does mean is that Roose-
yeltlsm was dose which made the
Boston Pilot for time hesitate as to
whether it should not abandon its
party. But it has at last made up its
mind to swallow the dose. 1t is not
such an easy problem for newspaper
TO abandon its party, but the Boston
fllot came so near doing it that when
it finally decided not to, it was thought
necessary to make statement to that
effect.

fair Mr.. Silverthorn states that the
Louisiana Purchase exposition is with
out doubt the greatest fair ever held
The grounds comprise an area several
times as large as the confines of the
city of Wausau, and one, to see every
thing, ought to spend at least a month
on the grounds. Though the hotel

modations are ample and the service
excellent. While in St. Louis he visited

In may please Judge Parker that his
Eastern newspaper friends laud him in
one paragraph and heap all sorts of
abuse in the next upon what they call
the Bryan democrats. But we scarcely
think it will please him. Judge Parker
has been occupying a seat on the court
of appeals of his state for a few years
past, and yet it is not to be taken for
granted that his practical political wis
dom is to be measured by his judicial
life. 1t is here that judges of courts of
appeal are not usually wise politicians.
But Judge Parker is an exception, for
ne graduated in the New York political
school before his election as judge. IL
may, therefore, be assumed that he
knows now, II he did not know il be-
fore, that he cannot rely upon the
friends whose influence secured his
nomination. and who have been desert
ing him since. He must know that he
can rely for his election only upon dem
oerats, not upon the deserters of his
party

Two GENTLEMEN, one of whom is
named Alton b. Parker, and the other
Theodore Roosevelt, were recently
greatly surprised. They were credibiy
informed that they had been nominated
as candidates of their respective par
ties for the high office of president of
the United States. 1t is asquaint pre-
tenee to do those things rs they were
done in the old stage coach days, when
there were no telegraphs or fast mail
trains. We keep mp the old practice of
notifying the candidate. as soon rs pos
Sible,-that is as soon as the committee
can be carried by stage from the
convention to the candidates home.
In the old days this notification was
the first news the candidate had of his
nomination. Now he gets it by wire
the moment the votes are counted.
But the old custom is kept up just the
same.

sorrow in our city. Mrs. Schmidt had
been in poor health for the past five

Mr.. Schmidt took her &. Tie Augustana

where she was operated upon by DIR.
OSchner. For two weeks after the oper-
alton she seemed To improve and there
were great hopes of her regaining her
full health After that there came u
relapse and she gradually grew worse,
and last Tuesday her husband took her
to Wauwatosa hoping the change and
treatment there might be beneficial,
but she did rot rally and death came on
Friday night, near the midnight hour
Her remains were brought TO the family

Ex-NATIONAL committeeman Walsh,
of Iowa, says that democratic news
papers in the East are making a bad
mistake ly abusing the followers of
Mr. Bryan, and that Parker can not
possibly be elected without the aid of
Bryan's friends whom they seem over
anxious to offend. Well, we do not
know whether those Eastern demo-
cratic papers are making a mistake or
not 1t depends upon what they desire.
Maybe they don't want Judge Parker
elected. For the last eight years they
have not wanted democratic presi-
dent, and there does not seem to be
much in the present political situation
TO make them alter their minds.
