There is no rentou why the Register prediction should not be fulfilled. Th faction of the patty tepneeiiKd by tl Register began the system of two convei tiens of the aamo party an t can end whenever it chooses. There is really no suoh thing as a cor.sci alive faction of the democratic party ? this State. There was such a faction, hu it went out of eixstcnco the afternoon of th general primary. Thero are in the Statu number of democrats wiio have not npprov ed Governor Tillinnn's methods or purposes They bad the right to express and vote tliei opinions. They did it and have finished. If these men ere shut out of parly couu oils as they have hitherto been?if thei representatives in legislatures nnd couven tions ara trented as aliens and enemies ntr caucnasrd nga<n?l?if every man of thcr Who holda an allien is In tin mvl mil nminl because of his poli'ics, ns if opposition I Tillman iuside the parly ami under part rules was a crime?(hoy will have no clioit but to stand together.

There nothing for tho men of the othej ^/i^Tlle tl?.WirWVoog and add thoir voices to tli approral of all that the governor has don or may do.

(j'rtenvitle Aries - ? ? TERRIBLE FIRE AT MILWAUKEEMilwaukkr, Oct. li'J.?Morning broke o a scene of desolation such as the Cream <"it has never before witnessed during its corp., rate existence. Twenty blocks, ytstordn covered Willi magnificent buildings, devote to manufacture, l mile mi l commerce, wci amass of smouldering ruins , nnil where >*>0 residences, the homes of .'1.0(10 pcoplo stood there was nothing save piles of b!nckeue< bricks and emoking ra'ters. The loss ii money will probably not cxceod $ti.000.00( on which there is nbout $2,500,000 iusm ance: but the collateral damages, the im mi nse shock to business and the inconven ience and pos-i i e sufl'eiicg entai'ed upoi residents and business men, cannot be com puted. Hundreds of families are left slie'tcrles with neibing but the chllrng worn wlici they fled from ilie quick pursuit of th devastating flames. At 2.50 ibis morning it was announcer that the fire was under cor.tioi, iiaviit; burned over about twenty squares, d.slio ing about fifty stores attd factoids am about 500 residences. It is estimated that <100 families wetburned out, and thai at least t,"><kl Individ tin's ere homeless. As most of their build ings, tenements and dwellings were no insured, these people h ive met whit alttios total loss and are destitute. The husiuees district devnstnto J is an im poriant one, enibrnc ng many heavy whole sale houses. The total Ions by the fire is mtv eMimntot at about $<1,000,000, with insurance of nbou $3,000,000. t.
