Elections.

yERMoar-Judge Royces majority viii
not be less than 10000. Lamollle IS be-
hind in every county but Clark. The
State is almost entirely Wing, fusion or he
publican anything so Pierce and Nebras-
ka are left out. The House will be the
same way by about loo majority, glVlng, a
u. S. Senator of the right stripe. In
Chittenden county where the Democrats
had a majority Of 400 last fall; the change
is nearly 1000.
In Iowa, it is conceded the House viii
stand 40 Republicans and 80 Democrats.
The Senate may be tie.
THE MAINE ELEcTIoN.-In Maine, An
ti-Nebraska hasswept the field. The sham
Democracy have failed to elect single
Senator. Their defeat on Members OF
Congress is probably almost as decisive
The Legislature is strongly Anti-Nebraska.
Arson P. Morrill,, the Governor Elect, was
supported by the Maine Law men, Free
Sellers and Republicans.

Mineral Point Republican Com
Vnntins1

We present the full proceedings of the
Republican Congressional Convention at
Mineral Point. It viii be seen the Con-
yention was harmonious throughout. The
resolutions adopted are the same as those
adopted at the Madison Convention in Jul
", with a single resolution added in refe-
renee to Non-Interyention. We do not
like the resolutions as well az those adopt
ed by the Grant Comfy Mass Meeting,
believing the latter to represent also, the
average Of public opinion in this section OF
the State better than the others. Hcwev-
er, when we come to consider that similar
resolutions to those Of Madison have been
adopted in all the Eastern, Middle and
western States that have held conven-
tons, as we'll as in most Of the counties
and congressional districts, we are reconci-
led,-uniformity being one of the main pill
lars of the noble edifce the people have
undertaken to rear upon the old founda-
ton. The adoption Of resolutions having
identical meaning with those of Madison,
is not confined to any party: the State
Wing Convention Of Massachusetts, the
Hunker Convention Of New York, and the
Republican Convention of Ohio, might 10
expected to represent the widest extremes,
but they have already adopted resolutions
meaning precisely the same as those Of
Madison.
We have no faith in platforms however,
and long ago renowned them. Men with
good private characters, fair ability, and Of
we'll tried integrity are the best platforms
ever invented. We know this is treasona-
bic doctrine among politicians, but can't
help it. Where's our Baltimore Platforms
G. c. WAsHBURN, the unanimous nom
inee of the Convention, is Just such plat
form as we want His public and private
character, fidelity to the laws, scrupulous
integrity and business reputation, are sutfi-
cient guarantees Of bis soundnesa. Those
best acquainted with him. Say he has long
been right upon the Questions most concer-
ming the public mind. We do not renem-
Der of hearing that he ever was at the Of
lice crib before, or took an active part in
The party SHAMELESS. OF his election We
place it among the certainties, unless some

Politicians Cormered.

Twenty months ago the political sky
was fair, only a little rosy red here and
there. Pierce and the Democracy had
made clean sweep and human foresight
could sec nothing in the way to prevent a
four years voyage,-or perhaps, a voyage
Of equal duration with that of Sir John
Franklin. What office-seekers we had
among the Wings had forsaken us, or were
about to do SO, as rats do an empty barn,
and went over to the Democracy. We
let them go without tear as kind moth
ers would their romping girls when offer
ing them on the matrimonial altar, well
knowing they'd come to their milk.
There they stand now by themselves
afraid to acknowledge tho Administration,
afraid to define their own positions before
tho public linked to that cid stock of adj
amantines who acknowledge no civil or re-
hgious institutions but sohiskey and mig
gers, they begin to thirst tor better compa-
ny
Such is the state of public opinion now,
against these politicians, to be seen and l.
Identified in every corner Of the State Of
Wisconsin, that their chances for office are
most hopeless; people have sworn to sup
port no standing candidates, such as we
have described; they are recognized as
doughfaces and are held at a frightful rate
of discount.
How anomalous the political sky! A
bout all the office-seekers of the old par
ties Wings and Democrats, together stand
ing solitary and alone,--the people having
embarked in a different vessel, determined
TO steer their own boat,--a mountain sep
arating the buccaneers from the captives
who have struck for freedom, and not even
Tear shed al the parting

what's i'm q Name.

Prot. BARTON, the learned and accom-
plished Wizard Of the West performed his
Juggling tricks with entire satisfaction to
spectators at Lancaster on last Thursday
evening.
In these days of patent rights and fast
travelling, everything, besides science, has
its Professors. Each ism, part Of ism, oil
ogy and folly has its dubbed great ones
who profess to relieve the public of purse
or brains scientifically. Thus, rascality be-
comes sublime and holds up its, head, in
stead of skulking round the back alley;
respectable young gentleman begin to think
seriously Of cheap professorships in the sci
ence Of dealing cards or drawing baby
clothes from bachelors hat, because the
name gives fame in demonology as well as
theology! The evil cannot be reached by
invective Or ridioule we are aware, but it
must be reached somehow, else our college
fathers must abandon their titles to keep
in good society.
The only remedy we can think of now
is to encourage every doggery-keeper to
dub himself professor of assassination"
every colored barber professor of shaving
and clipping" and the boot black, may
say Professor Bob, scientific black man."

MINERAL POINT, Aug. y, 1904.
Gentlemen Your friendly letter of the 9Th
inst. has just been received, and / confess
has taken me somewhat by surprise. My
of such a character as to lead me to de-
cline Office of any kind and cannot see clear
ly that | ought now to turn aside from the
paths Of business for the purpose of eng aging
in a doubtful contest for a position w here
at best but few honors are to be won. | am
not now prepared to say that would accepta
nomination for Congress this fall, provided il
was rendered by the party Of freedom in this
District.
Circumstances NAV arise, between this time,
and the meeting of the nominating Convention,
which would incline NE to accept such NOM
ination, provided that it was made with en-
tire unanimity. Under no state of the case
can / suffer myself to be in the way of AZ
ny man whose nomination would be likely to-
contribute to the success of the Republican par
ty.
Heartily endorsing the principles and ap-
proving the objects set forth in the resolution
passed at the Convention held al Madison on
the 18th ult., shall heartily support whoever
may be selected by the Republican party, as
the exponent OF its principles in the National
Legislature.
Thanking you for this expression ofyour re-
gard, am gentlemen.
Very truly your ob't serv't.
G. C. WASHBURN.
To ]. A. SLEEFER, and others.
Reso1ped, That the proceedings of this Con-
vention be signed by the officers, and publish
ed in all the papers in the State, friendly to the

Dear Sir From
considerations of personal esteem and conf

ton that tDo of the Congressional Districts of
the North have been so fortunate as to secure
from your family lipe men to represent them.
our preferences point to yourself, as the next
Representative in Congress from this District.
We wish TO inquire of you, Would a nomi-
nation for Congress from the HRepubican"
party accord with your feelings and wishes
This ques ton you will, of course, understand
to include the one, Do you cordially endorse
the principles and approve the objects set
forth in the Resolutions adopted by the Mass
Meeting at Madison on the 18th ssItino
Awaiting your early answer, and with SEN
