mig 70 Az aken considerable interest att g. parties
are actively preparing fo1 tie Canvass. Tie Con-
g,eesiopal Convictions are 81 called early ii Sep
ttuter. Ia the Ist District, ths Hon. John L.
Potter. the present member, VII be renoninated
nv exclamation, every Republican paper in the
D.trict having declared FOR him. Hewill probably
be oorostd b. Andrew Z. Esnore, an Ant;-Lecomp-
tor, An.:-Dred Scott Dec! sol Democrat which, b.
tne WAY, 10 very poor kiad OF Democrat BIZ.
ElmoIe is per,orally very popular but has strong
erenie, in the ranks Of tie Democracy, he having
e." bo,ted" party nominations at pleasure, and just
az often ss they cd not suit OF late. lie wM q
cardda.e some years ago, but was defeated BY Mr..
DurLee. Think Potter can beat any Loccfoco,
slttOush the District is very evenly divided in po-
ltcal sentiment Milwaukee County, with lis D 900
Buchanan msority, comprising part OF Il. Bu.
cbanau carried the District by 800 majority, and
Mr.. Potter beat Jack Hadley 500. A full RePub-
licsn vote this Fall viii show better figures. lou
may safely count on bis reelection.
In the lid District there IS more division OF sen
tuert as to who shall be the Candidate. 1t Is at
present ably ard faithfully represented by Cadwala-
der G.. Washburn. There is quite strong desire
10 continue him in bis present position IN certain
localities while in others there is a strerg dlspos
ton TO honor some other Of the faithful and abe
members Of tie party. Louis z. Harvey OF Rock
County, sud Luther Hanchett Of Stanton, Portage
County, are mentioned. Both are able men highly
deserving of the party, and either would do honor
10 Wisconsin in Congress. Rock County, which
furnishes the votes to elect the Republican caHdl-
dates, now for the 6Tst time asks nomination IN
that section. Mr. Harvey is their man-Dayd
NOggle having been removed from the contest by
lis appointment as Circuit Judge in the place of
Keep, resigned. The northern part OF the District
Ask for Mr. Hanchett-than whom a nobler sPeci-
men of man does not exist. Northern Wisconsin
has reyer yet been represented By a man of their
own in Congress. Mr.. Hanchett would be the very
best Representative to be found in the State for
their interests The District extends from the
Illinois line to Lake Superior. and gives, In iull
vote IL, 900 Republican majority. Ihe District il
sure 10 be abb, and faithfully represented. The
Democracy will nominate some one Just Ter the
purpose Of killing him of-probably eX-Gov. Dewey.
Gen. Dousmar of Prairie du Chen is also spoken
Of He CHEF recommendation il. he could pay for
his tickets and printers bills This will II axe him
a strong candidate in Convention. | venture M
opinion that Mr.. Hanehett next represents the Dis
trict vet, if the other Washburn brothers are re.
nominated. | think the gallant band VIII staud
together in the next a. in the last Congress.
The Hid District like the LIST, IS more un'
certain. Mr.. BlingbuIst viii be succeeded by a
ney msn. The district vas formerly the strongest
Democratic ole in the Union, il having elected
John b. Macy in lc52 byupward OF 1000 majority
Ia "A this majority was overcome and nearly as
much given for Mr.. BIlmghust. In 90 MI Ii.
was reelected by 2.O44 majority. Last all " gave
quite Democratic majority, but II IS no criterion
With good candidate We shall succeed; with a
poor one we shall fail, as we ought. Inc candi,
dates spoken of are Mr.. NJ. Davis eli Portage ard
+. l.. Phillips of Fond du Lac. William Aldrch
of ManitoWoc has also been mentioned. think the
chances are in favor of DR.. Davis. He would be
member of which any constituency might be proud.
He was in the famous Legislature which disposed

Harvey was one Of the very few who came out
