head struck a stick of timber, bruising

Rheinhardt Rahr is the handsOmcSt
mayor the city of Manitowoc ever had,
and Charlie Fechter is the homcliesl
| alderman. Extremes meet in the
coming board of aldermen.
Three of the eleven democrats fol
which the Second ward Of this city j,
famous, met in 'open" conclave at the
| Windiate house on Friday evening last
and nominated a ticket on the leading
issues of the day. 1t was hoped that
the issues would attract an army o.
| voters from the hostile camp and thai
such enemies of the public welfare a,
Tom Torrison, Charley Fechter ant
Ed. Rand would be relcgated to private
life until they learned that politica
virtue consists in voting the democra
tic ticket. The new ticket was giver
a name which unfortunately was SC
lengthy that it could not be thorough u
memorized before election day, and sC
when people dropped in to inquire o
Tom Windiate what the ticket wa,
which was to be pushed through in the
interests of reform in the second ware
this year, Tom wrestled for few min
utes with the Titanic title and always
answered.: "Damifino ask Walker: he
knows" But Walkers memory wa.
not equal to the occasion. AS near as
can be learned the ticket had birth
under the name of "Thc Amalgamatet
Iron Workers and 100000 Rolling
Mill Subsidy, Minimum wages 81.
per Day Ticket" 1t was a big name
and would have led to victory if Walk
er had taken the pains TO master it sC
thoroughly that he could repeat it ;
number of times consCcutiVely without
each time making it something else
'The result was" that each one Of the
eleven democrats was working for ar
"amalgamated etc, etc." ticket diff
ering in many vital respects from the
ticket the remaining ten were pushing
and the nominees in the interests o
harmony all withdrew, and the grea
movement came TO naught. The
movement was a grand one in concep
tion but it didn't even come to bloom
and didn't raise fruit enough for tn,
first robin TO secure nibbe. The
eleven democrats are defeated but no
discouraged. They will maintain theil
organization and do something yet
What that something will be, time vii
tell.
