Darlington Democrat: The new
chairman, Mr.. Manson, is taking hold
In the right way, and altogether the
outlook has frightened greatly within
few weeks.
The Madisonian: The governorship,
once considered a prize for honest
manhood, Is now looked upon as legit-
innate plumber for every political mi
crobe In the state.
Lancaster Teller: The Teller has
had faith In Cortelyou. IL hopes he
may let such light in upon corruption
In politics as will restore him to its
confidence.
The Madisonian: y democrat SO
woefully lacking in political sagacity
NJ to become volunteer convert to
halfbreedism has no business aspiring
to n position where good judgment,
keen dscernment and logic are the
main requirements.
Madison journal: Political meth

titled administration, when appear
ance Indicate that they are gangren-
Gus, ought to be the subject Of inqui-
ry, at least. And, as the public is
quite as deeply concerned in the polit-
ical methods Of candidates as in the
political harlotry Of corporations, 1t

BY TIE PEOPLE.

Former Congressman Owen A. Wells
of Fond du Lac was very helpful
member OF the Democratic state con
ference at Milwaukee last week. In a
state convention at Madison In the
spring OF 1888 Mr.. Wells performed a
most remarkable feat even for those
days OF representative government
through caucus and convention. 1t
was an achievement in such striking
contra distinction to the practical
workings of the present vexatious
primary law that IL ought to be had
In remembrance.
The convention had In hand the
election OF delegates TO the Democratic
national convention which was TO be
held at St. Louis In June OF that year.
Leading delegates had come to an UNI
derstanding as to the proper men to
elect Ms the four delegates at large;
and, rs per agreement, champion OF
each Of the men agreed upon secured
TGCDR MUM lIOll V'IO Shhilh iah W olN
convention and made an able set
speech for his favorite. John A. Hin
sey OF Milwaukee had just closed
amid applause, the presentation OF the
name Of Emil Schandein, the last OF
the four names on the slate, when nj
most In IL moment the scheme Of the
stale makers was brought to naught,
Mr.. Wells arose, and, having by
commanding voice and presence Sc
cured recognition from the presiding
officer, he placed In nomination Colo
mel Gilbert M. Woodward Of La
Crosse as the first delegate ut large to
ST. Louis aud moved his election by II
rising vote. Mr.. Wells speech was
brief but 1t was impassioned, eloquent
and true, and the convention rose as
one man and made Colonel Wood
ward their representative. A most
admirable representative lie was. He
was so worthy and we'll qualified and
so richly deserved the honor that ~
better delegate could not have been
chosen by the best primary election
law ever devised After this striking
incident the convention proceeded by
ballot TO elect the other delegates.

TIE EVERLASTING TARIFF
QUESTION.

John Sharp Williams, the Demo-
cratic leader In the house Of repre-
sentatives, Is wisely pushing to the
front the question OF tariff tax re-
duction, He has introduced bill to
reduce duties running over 100 per
cent TO an even 100 por cent. In ex-
PLANTATION Of this measure lac says:
'The President OF the United States,
as ! understand II, puts his advocacy
OF protectionism upon the ground
that 1t Is right and proper that there
should be duty on imported articles
sufficient to make up the difference be-
tween the scale Of foreign labor and n
right American standard. Az this Is
the last ditch, | thought would see
by the introduction of bill In this
congress whether or not it was II pre-.
tense or u real conviction upon the
part of those who nse II rs nm argu.
ment.
ut strikes me that the labor cost of
no article will or can ever exceed It's
entire cost. | don't believe that any
one will deny that proposition, |
have therefore introduced II bill to ro-
duce the tariff duty, wherever 1t is
over 100 per cent, to 100 per cent, thus
leaving taxation condition under
which, undoubtedly, not only the whole
difference between American labor
and foreign labor has been made up
by tax upon the consumer, but
where the entra labor cost has been
taxed to the consumer,
Walter Wellman Is decidedly OF tho
opinion that the tariff Is bound To be-
come the issue In spite,of the fact that
the republican leaders are determined
to do everything in their power to
keep the question In the background,
He says:
1.-The Democrats are determined
to harass their friends of the major
ity all they can on this question
The 100 per cent tariff bill Is u. pretty
sharp stick, and already there are
signs that the stand-patters do not like
1t. They do not relish having the
word go out to the country that there
are such duties on the statute books,

The great constitutional lawyers in
the United States senate are debating
the question whether congress has the
right to delegate to a commission the
power to fix railway rates. This was
an issue In the last compaign In Wis
cousin, and because the trainers OF the
Democratic platform were not cock
sure on this point they were subjected
to a great deal of hasty and unjust
criticism. Perhaps the knotty prob
lem will be solved when Senator
LaFollette comes TO Judgment.
