the state senate; and E. w. Leroy,
of Marinette, as speaker of the lower
house. Both of these gentlemen are
popular, and the movement started by
their friends seems to have the adj

pretty well understood that both of
these gentlemen will accept, if they
are honored by the Republican
members with the nomination.
Lawrence and Ripon will now have
