WdtertoWn. Wis. Friday. June 70

The question Uf representation IN
the republican national convention
is again being agitated. The present
basis of representation is unfair ard
unjust. Being based on population
in each congressional district instead
of the republican vote cast in the dis
trict, the south have large repre-
sentation IN the national convention,
although the republican vote IN sever
al of the states as whole Is less
than the vote in one district IN the
north. 1t affords few federal
office holders and few "niggeIs'
rich picklngs and it is time it was
emf ont. In the national convention
which gave Benjamin Harrison MS
ast nomination there were 128 cOlored
brothers and 149 office holders as del
epates. and the nomination was forced
upon the northern republicans, When
all were satisfied that it meant defeat.
The writer at that time saw the IN
fairness of the representation ana
gave pronounced expression TO mis-
views, which was for change, popu +
lation to be the vote basis. Now That
there is division in the party and che
delegates from the south are an unre-
liable factor, being mercenary ano
purchasable, a change should De made
and those who elect decide who they
will have as candidates.

A GHOST STORY.
The Spectral Horseman That Visits
Wycolar Hall.

Tho Spectral Horseman That Visits
Wycollar Hall.
This ghost story is contributed by
correspondent of an English magazine:
'Wycollar Hall, near Colne, was long
the seat Of the Cunliffes of Ellington.
They were noted persons in their time,
but evil days came, and their ancestral
estates passed out of their hands. In
the days Of the commonwealth their
loyalty cost them dear, and ultimately
they retired to Wycollar with rem
nant only of their once extensive prop
erty. About 1919 the last of the fami-
~ passed away, and the hall is now q
mass of ruins. Little but the ANTIQUE
fireplace remains entire, and even the
room alluded to in the following
legend cannot now be identified. Ira
dition says that once every year q
specter horseman visits Wycollar Hall
He Is attired in the costume of the
early Stuart period, and the trappings
of his horse are of a most uncouth de-
scription.
ION the evening Of his visit the
weather is always wild and tempestu-
Gus. There is no moon to light the
lonely roads, and the residents Of the
district do not venture out of their
cottages. When the wind bowls loud
est the horseman can be heard dash,
ing up the road at full speed, and. aft
er crossing the narrow bridge, he sud
denly stops at the door Of the hall
The rider then dismounts and makes
bis way up the broad oaken stairs into
one of the rooms of the house. Dread
full screams, as from woman, are
then heard, which soon subside into
groans. The horseman then makes his
appearance at the door, at once mounts
his steed and gallops off.
His body can be seen through by
those who may chance to be present;
his horse appears to be wild with rage,
and its nostrilS stream with fire. The
tradition IS that one Of the Cunliffes
murdered his wife in that room and
that the specter horseman is the ghost
of the murderer, who is doomed to pay
an annual visit to the home of his
victim. She is said to have predicted
the extinction Of the family, which,
according to the story, has been liter
ally fulfilled"

"The critical faculty is rare" said
an editor and critic at a Philadelphia

most Of us incline to be wholly per-

brought home to me at one Of the exhi-
billions at the Academy Of Fine Arts.
Passing from picture to picture, l
overheard many criticisms. Thus a
lady in a rich gown said:
"'What superb portrait of young

gown was made by Paquin.'

If 1t was such an awful thing for
the republicans of Jefferson county
two years ago to hold confe, ence,
to decided upon candidates to be voted

called to get around the primary cleo
