Here's part of the speech which cut the hardest:
The trouble with the republican party is that it has not

the regular members of either party There not enough
regular republicans in this country to take and hold national
power, and must Immediately add that there not enough
regular democrats either This country is guided and its
policy is determined by the independent voters. What
perfectly evident to me is this that you made rough
reckoning you would have admit that only about third of
the republican party progressve and you would also have
admit that about thirds of the democratic party is pro-
gressve Therefore the Independent progressive voter finds
great deal company in the democratic ranks than the

Death of William Hoars.

One of the most genuine of men, vii.
liam Hoare, died at his home Tuesday
afternoon. Sept. H. Had he lived I'M
I'll the I'd of November next he would
have been so years OF age.
Deceased came to Mineral Point from
England with his parents in lS43. This
place has been his home ever since. He
never married lived with his parents
until they passed away. then with his
brother James, but always on the orig
inal homestead. He took to mining in
early boyhood and following that occu-
patton until the infrmities of age forced
him to quit.
Thocgh genial, Mr.. Hoare was of a
retiring nature. He WAS ever steady
and studious; alert to and persistent in
what was right. He was intelligent, a
self grated requirement. The fact
that he read the Bible through before
coming to this country is strong evil
dence of his being searcher after
knowledge. He kept well posted on
affairs of the day. and was wise in
counsel.
We have said that he was genuine,
and by that we mean not only that he
was simple, unassuming and true we
mean that this quality reached to the
depths of his nature, that he was sin
eere, faithful and loyal in all his re-
lations.
