STORY Of REFORMER

Declared That the Election e

est POlitiCS-PdgeS of Interviews
Expressive of Indignation at

tErom Wednesdays DailyD

The following from the Milwaukee
journal of last evening relative to the
senatorial situation, will be read with
interest by many of the readers of
The Leader:
The editorial published in ex- Gov.
Huard's Jefferson County Union, favor
ing Uncle Ike for tie short term
senatorship, makes peculiar reading
when placed alongside of the COVER
nor's comment on the Stephenson
Quarles fight for the senatorship
eight years ago.
In the Jefferson County Union of
February ), 1899, under the caption,
"QuarIes Elected" Gov. Hoard said:
"A number of the members of the
Legislature from that city
deserted him (Quarles) in the face of
their own individual pledges and of
instructions from the conventions
which nominated them.
''lhis was done in such brazen
manner as to leave no doubt of the
corrupt manner III which the transfer
was effected. This fact gave Mr..
Quarles the sympathy of every MEM
Der of the legislature who believed in
fair play or who despised the money
bag game which has heretofore dis
graced senatorial elections IN this
state.
For that reason his election is
triumph for honest politics.
cat that time, too, the Milwaukee
Sentinel, then edited by the same
gentleman who now presides over the
destinies of the Stephenson organ in
Milwaukee continued column after col
umn of interviews in which prominent
citizens of Milwaukee scored the
desertion of the Milwaukee mem
bers who fiooped to Mr.. Steph-
ensOn as the act of TRAITORS
and informer, moral imbeclles and
political traitors and which stlgmatIz-
ed their conduct as 'disloyalty and
perfidy.
"These interviews We're with such
men as Capt. |. M. Bean, E. III.
Bottum, C. G. Rogers, William II.
Momsen, j. A. Dryden j. b. Oliver,
]. A. Perkins. Charles Manegold, w.
G. Swan, r. w. Pierce Henry Fink,
W. j. McElroy. Col. H. S. Fuller, J.
G. Koch, Jeremiah Quin, William G.
Rauschenberger, and others. -
Among the interviews was one
with Theordore Krunshage, now
power with The Free Press, in which
he declared It's a rank exhibition of
treachery. There has been no honor
in the actiun of some of the repre-
sentatives and what prompted them
can only be surmIsed.
"Other terms used in the same col
umns were 'premeditated treachery,
'pertidy, and Crime against public
morality

The following report from the COM
mittee ON streets and bridges relative
to street sprinkling was placed on file !:
The members of the co, nj, tie on
streets and bridges desire to oil the
attention of your I'c3orable Body to
certain conditions casting in relation
to the sprinkling of the streets of the
city. namely: That there are but five
sprlnkling wagons in the city, just
enough to do the work, and by reason
of this fact. competition is limited.
The committee is of the opinion that
If the city were to purchase three VI
more sprinling wagons or greater
number and more competent bids
would be received for such spr1nkling
The committee has been assured
that sprinkling wagons of 500 gallons
capacity, of the Later improved style
can be purchased for $3.50 each.

The house and all of the contents were en- tirely destroyed, the heaviest loss being the burning up of $250 in currency which MT. Brandes had placed under a mat tress Plumbers were working on the house and left their tools in its over night, and these tools were also de- stroyed. The house belonged to pr. Mill ner. MT rBandes had insurance on his furniture,
