Test of Gov. Upham's Strength.

Madison, Wis., March 3. —From present indications the first test of strength between the anti-administration republicans of Wisconsin and the friends of Gov. Upham will occur at the convention to be held in Milwaukee March 8 for the selection of delegates to the national republican convention at St. Louis and a chairman of the state central committee. Editorially the Madison State Journal announces the candidacy of Samuel A. Harper, a leading republican of Dane county and president of the Wisconsin League of Republican Clubs, for the chairmanship of the state central committee. E. D. Coe, editor of the Whitewater Register, is already in the field for the place. He is the recognized candidate of the combined anti-administration republicans.
