two years ago the Milwaukee platform
would have been reaffirmed in the plat
form convention at Madison; and a
Democratic state ticket would have
won at the polls in November. Gov
ernor McGCvern would not have been
reelected; and there would have been
no house breaking in the state capitol
at Madison; and no long drawn out
session of the legislature, with extra
VACANT appropriations.
The Democrat word for the present
is, therefore, an admonition to all patri-
otto, forward looking men, who want
economy, efficiency and fair dealing in
the state as well as in the nation, to
work together in the Democratic party
for the nomination of true andG trusty
men well fitted for responsible leader
ship. Such men, standing upon sound
platform, ought to be elected. Their
election would secure economy without
turning the state over to special in
terests.

A WORD FOR THE PAST AND A
WORD FOR THE PRESENT.

The Iowa County Democrat has
earned the right to say Il word political
to the people Of Mineral Point and
vicinity in this time of political tur-
MOL. We have experienced some tenn
pestuous blasts in politics. but we have
never dissembled; nor resorted to dem
agogy to attain success.
The paper came under the present
management in 1877. In the following
year the greenback agitation swept the
country and engulfed the Democratic
party in Wisconsin. At the polls in
November, 1878, the Democratic ticket
in Iowa county was third in the race.
Throughout the storm The Democrat
stood for specie resumption, and de
nounced the evasive Democratic plat
form adopted at Fond du Lac. And
later, life was no more peaceful for us
in the struggle over the silver issue.
But it is to The Democrats record on
the tariff question that we can especi
ally point with pride, From the begin.
ming we have steadfastly hammered
away at the policy OF granting special
hold-up privileges under the name of
protection. We have always opposed
the humbuggery of unnecessary high
tariff taxation. Only two years ago
when one of our contemporaries. -
which is now posing as II political
leader worthy of confidence, -asserted
that the election of Wilson meant fifty
cents for milk and fifty dollars pei
acre for land, we told our readers tt

seen the country's salvation.
Having said SO much for the past
now word in regard to the present
condition which contronts us:
BY reason of the state administration

Dos Moines. June 3-As has been
clearly foreshadowed for some time
there were no great surprises in the pri-
mary election. It came out just about
as expected. Possibly the majorities
for Cummins and Clarke, and for Con-
molly and Hamilton are a little larger
than was conceded, but that is all.
The pleasing thing to all save the
few who take special delight in petty
scraps is that with this lineup there
will be square fight on party issues.
Cummlns and Connolly will both dis
cuss on the stump the issues that di-
vide the two parties. They will handle
in intelligent manner the questions that
are forced by what has been done and
is being done in Washington. The
whole range of legislation affecting
banking, the currency, the trusts, the
tariff, the Mexican situation, etc. will
be presented to the people of the state.
On the governorship 1t goes without
saying that Hamilton is too broad
minded a man to permit of campaign

speaking campaign. certainly. but will
