The final victory of the regular Re-
pub1icans of the state, over the ma
| igners OF. party and leaders, was com
p1eted yesterday afternoon at Madison
and the flag Of the party Of Lincoln,
has again asserted itself in Wiscon-
sin. The men who have followed the
Republican cause in Wisconsin for
SO many years have again seized the
party organization from the hands Of
boiling Popu1ists and fanatics and
with the united support of the men
who have made Wisconsin great in
national and state politics, the party
is again ready to march against the
common foe.
Yesterday and last night was an
epoch making period in the history
of Wisconsin Republicans. 1t was
the time when the Republicans of the
state refused to become nsubservient
to one man, and threw off the yoke of
bondage, and again asserted their
freedom.
Kenosha county leaders are proud
to be associated with such body of
men and they will hasten to throw
their entire strength to the ticket
that was nominated by this regularly
elected majority of the Republicans
of Wisconsin. The Rubicon has been
passed. The Republicans no longer
look and plead to a supreme dictator,
but with the principles of Republicans
as a platform, they stand ready to
fight to the last ditch against the
men who would break the party into
shreds and turn it over to popu1istic
minority.
Kenosha Republicans have taken a
great interest in this convention of
the people and they will be interested
in knowing that the ticket nominated
by their representatives. in the state
convention yesterday has the unqua1i-
| fed endorsement of Senator John
C. Spooner and Senator Joseph Very
Quarles. Kenosha's favorite son is
no we1cher, and in coming over to
the support of the nominees of the
regular convention Of the Repub1i-
can party he has announced his de-
cision to live or die with the men who
have made the party in the state.
Before the convention closed on
Thursday, these two peerless lead
ers of Wisconsin Republicans, stood
before the convention and declared
their allegiance.
QUARLEs READY FOR BATTLE
When Senator Quar1es threw down
the gauntlet and cast his fortunes
with the men he had loved so long, he
did it in this manner:
My friends, will not longer inter-
rupt the regular order Of procedure.
| am thankful to you for the most cor
dial greeting that you have extended
to me, and only want to say in con-
c1usion that, live or die, sink or swim,
survive or perish, throw my political
ambition into the scale, and agree to
stay with you and go down with you
if necessary. Great app1ause.)
| "a voice: we won't go down.
"We will keep the old flag flying,
and if we are submerged those who
come after US and take that flag will
say, That was the sacrifcial Offering
of brave and patriotic Republicans. ;
Great app1ause.)
Napoleon was an ambitious man;
he wassdrunk with ambition; he robbed
France of generation of her man
hood; he said that men were food for
powder; he played with Kingdoms as
with pawns on chess-board. He had
two terms (great laughter and ap-
p1ause), and when he had gotten
through with the second term.even he
was willing to quit. (Great laughter
and applause.) And in that abdica-
ton that he wrote with his own hand
he said: i am..not only willing to alb
dlcate, but I am wiling to give my
lie that France may have peace.
Fellow citizens, what the Repub-
lican party of Wisconsin wants at this
hour is peace. But there are men, un-
like Napoleon, who are not willing to
recognize the logic Of Waterloo great
