The District Convention ct DodgevilIe.

We have not received copy of the official
proceedings of the Convention Of the Northern
Assembly District, but we are informed by a
gentleman who was present that Immediately
after organizing with General Stephens Chair
man, Louis II. d. Crane Esl., of Dodgcville was
by reclamation nominated as a candidate for
the Assembly.
Mr.. Crane after thanking the Convention for
this token Of their confidence stated that he
could not accept the nomination, for the reason
that it would seriously interfere with Lis bust
ness.
The Convention proceeded to a ballot and Mr..
Crane found to be nominated again.
He, however, persisted in his refusal to ac-
cept, and nominated Samuel Hendy prop
err candidate
a ballot being taken, M Hcndy was norni-
mated.
Mr.. Samuel Hendy is by birth an English
man, by choice American, by religion 4
Methodist. by occupation Farmer and by the
universal, opinion of his neighbors honest
man. Originally Educated as a Surveyor he
emigrated to this country many years since,
and has ever since been a practical Farmer
His Townsmen have shown their confidence in
him repeatedly, having elected him as Assessor,
School Superintendent, Chairman Of the Town
Board, etc, etc. He is reliable man III every
respect, and we call on our Republican Broth
rem in the Northern District to give a long pull.
a strong pull and pull altogether for their
Candidate.

The result of the State Elections held
in October is now sufficiently known to
show clearly that in Ohio, Iowa and Indi-
ana, Republicanism is triumphant, against
the combined forces Of the pro-Slaverv
Democracy and the Nothings.-
These two parties yet hold decided ma
jority in Pennsylvania.
In Minnesota, the Republicans claim a
decided majority, both for Governor and
Of the Legislature, though the Madison
Argus, and few other similar irreiabe
sheets say the Territory has gone Demo-
cratic.
From Kansas the news is to the effect
that while the Republicans have honestly
elected a majority in both branches Of the
Legislature, and a delegate to Congress,
by abou: 5000, the pro-s!avery party are
likely to gel the certificates Of election,
both majority in the Legislature and
the delegate 10 Congress. This Is no
more than might have been expected,
neither are we disappointed that many
who profess to favor freedom in Kansas.
now rejoice At the triumph Of fraud and
illegal voting in that Territory. Bat the
end IS not yet; we fear the most bloody
struggle IN Kansas, IS yet to come.

DEAR SIR:-Y our note of the 10Th
inst, as Chairman of the District Com
mittee. informing me of my nomination
as the Republican candidate Of the South
ern Assembly District of Iowa County,
was this day received. | had previous
to the reception of your note learned the
action of the Convention, and felt dispos-
ed at once to decline the honor but when
take into consideration that the nominal
ton rendered me was made in my absence
from the county unasked for, an approval
of my former efforts TO serve the county
which | have 50 often had the honor Of
representing, the appeals made by num-
erous personal and political friends since
my nomination to accept, leaves me not
at liberty to disregard the wishes Of the
Convention aud my friends.
Very respectfully

Why THEY WERE DISTINGUISHED
The Bogus Legislature Of Kansas, in
making the appointment which Walker
sanctioned, practically disfranchised, 50
far as the Council was concerned, large
portion of the Territory, crowding nearly
all of the members upon the eastern bor-
der counties, accessible from Missouri,
and convenient for the troops. The very
heavy free State vote cast IN the counties
thus outraged, explains the action of the
Slavery plotters. Here are a few speci-
men votes

bun4" reaches any lar &c portion of it:
realtors, the People of Wisconsin will be
permitted to exercise one of the mos
sacred privileges ever extended TO free
men--that of casting their ballots for the
men Of their choice to conduct the af-frS
of our. State for the next two yes.
The present canvass, fof ehe ihoss part
has been conducted nth far less annnosi-
~ than is usual on such occasion. But
few Of the papers Of the State, we are
nratif;eI to say, have descended to that
lea personal abuse, too often resorted to
in political campaigns. The people, how
ever, we trust, have canvassed in their
own minds the qualifications Of the. candl-
dates, and the principles BY which they
will by actuated, if elected. The plat
forms of the two parties have been pub
lished, and will be found to-day on our
first page, together with the position Of
the Democratic party upon the great and
all absorbing subject of slavery in 1919
While the Republicans have been uni
form in their principles, we find that our
opponents advocate different set of prin-
ciples to-day from those advocated by
them a few years ago. We find that:
When Mr.. Buchanan, in 1919 made
freesoil speeches, aad held that Congress
had power to exclude slavery from the
Territories, that was democracy.
That when, in 1850. he :" chung to the
Missouri Compromise, that was dem
ocracy.
That when Douglas, Pierce, Tombs
s. CO., pronounced the Missouri Com
promise unconstitutional, and wen, for
squatter sovereignty -that was denl-
ocracy.
That when the same leaders discarded
squatter sovereignty and declare that
+" slavery goes with the Constitution into
The Territories" despite the will of the
people, ,hereof-that is democracy.
Then when the United States Troons
are employed - enforce slavery upon
Kansas-that Is democracy
When the South demanded the annex
alton of Texas. for the further snread Of
sIavery-that was democracy.
When, in 1919. the democracy Of this
State " Resolved that we hold % and adj
vocate the doctrine of free and equal
sua'rage"-that was democracy.
When the present candidate for Gov
ernor. less than wear ago. signed pc
tition for a law submitting TO the people
the question Of free and equal suffrage
that-with him al least-was democracy.
When the State Constitution. in 1857.
Resolves that we are unaltarablv op-
posed to the extension of the right of suf
frara"- i democracy

bodies had been dug from the ruins, and
a number of others were missing. The
fire originated in a five story building
