smoking magazine rifle and took up the
battle. She killed Russell Waldrop, then
shot his parents. Prone on the ground,
Henry Waldrop returned the fire. and

GEN. EDWARD BRAGG,
FR|ENDOF CLEVELAND,
DEAD IN WISCONSIN
Author of I'VE Love Him
Because of Enemies He
Has Made" Well
Known Here.

Gen. Edward 8. Bragg, civil war
hero and author of the famous ex-
preston, I'VE love him for the en-
emies he has made" which he uttered
or Grover Cleveland when secondins
his nomination fer the Presidency,
who died at his home In FOND du Lac,
Wis, yesterday, was we'll known in
this city, where he served in three
congresses as a Representative Of
Wisconsin.
With the passing of the veteran
VINO was the leader Of the Iron Brig
ade during the war on the eve of a
Democratic convention, the expression
which gained him more fame, and the
incidents surrounding IT, are frag-
rant in the minds of many leaders of
the Democracy. It was said of Gem
eral Bragg, following Cleveland's 3
election, that I'VE love him for the
enemies he has made" worked won-
ders in gaining him the Presidency.
General Bragg was also we'll known
in Washington as a diplomat, having
served in diplomatic and consular
capacities in Mexico, Cuba and China.
While in the House of Representa-
tives he was regarded as the most
dangerous antagonist who could be
challenged in debate. Small of
statue and belligerent in bearing, he
was perpetually in the thick of the
tight. and had few equals in acri-
monious retore and invective.
Heneral Bragg was born in Unadilla,
~. Y, February 20 1897. and was edu-
GATED at Hobart College. He was ad-
initted to the bar in 1S4S. moved to
Fond du Lac shortly afterward, and
was elected district attorney of Fond
au Lac county in 1854 As a Douglas
democrat he went 20 the Charlestown
convention In 1860, and when war broke
out the following year he entered the
military service as a captain. He was
mustered out with the rank Of prigadier
general October 5, 1866.
After the war he was active in poll
tics, and was a delegate to the Demo-
CRATIC convention in 1872. which nomi-
mated Horace Greeley for President. He
was elected To Congress in 1854. and
served three terms. He was a strong
partisan Democrat, but never failed 10
criticise his colleagues harshly when
he thought they needed 1t.

Dear Sir: Yours of even date re-
ceived and inasmuch as you notify me
that you will publish it in the Times
Recorder, l elect to give you my re-
ply in the same medium.
The published record, as you put II,
of Mr.. Turner is, to my mind, in no
way disparaging.
1t seems, even from your account.
the simple story of deserving young
man who started at the bottom and
worked his way up. Is not that the
best school in which to learn, the
school of experience?
Now that you may do, what you are
lamenting that the city has failed to
do, namely, give to the benevolences
as literally as you thii9k, | will give
to you to bestow where you will, or
keep for your own use, One Hundred
Dollars, if you will publish in the
same size type as your record of Mr..
Turner, a truthful record of your
adviser, Mr.. A. N. Walker. Respect
fully yours. G. S. GARDNER.
