UNION NOMINATIONS
The Democratic State Convention.

held at Madison last week. As we under
stand. the State was by no means fully rep
resented, but with the mis-called democracy
that is matter of small moment. Accord
ing to the present creed, few politicians
self constituted delegates can and do repre-
sent the people of the State. For instance
The 1st 9th 10th and 26th Senatorial dis
tricts were not represented at all. The "a
10th, 18th, 9th, S0th and 31st were each
represented by but one delegate We don't
know how it was in other districts, but we
never heard Of ascaueus or convention nor
Of one being called for the election OF dele
gates in this county, and yet the county
was fully represented of course by selt-ap-
pointed delegates as follows: Is
SENATORIAL. w. Webster and James
NJ. Kellogg. oaa
ASSEMBLY,. F. Coffeen and T. Mahony.
Of the Assembly Districts, the following
counties were not represented g
Adams, Buffalo, Pepin and Trempeleau,
Crawford, Door, Oconto, Shawano, Grnat,
jackson, Clark, LaPointe, Ashland, Doug
las, Polk, Burnett, Dallas, Pierce, St. Croix,
Portage, Sheboygan, Vernon, Waupacca
and Waushara. &
Two Assembly Districts of Dodge County
had but one delegate each. Three Districts
of Fond du Lac Co. were in the same condi'
ton. Monroe, Outagamie and Richlanc
counties were in the same condition: Three
districts of Rock Co. three of Waukesha anc
two of Winnebago were likewise represented
by one delegate EACH. La Crosse had bu
one delegate-Brick Pomeroy, who was alsC
a Senatorial delegate from the county, thus
casting three votes in the convention, And
that is the way the people were represented
in this democratic convention. While at leas
one half of the State had no delegates in tht
convention, judging from our own county
it is safe to say at least one half of the dele
gates present were self appointed.
ii And yet the democratic party claims tc
be par excellence the party Of the people
The people are boldly appealed to to sup
port the candidates nominated by that con
vention, because they are the peoples candi
dates Is anything more wanting to bran'
with infamy the corrupt clique of politician
who are running the so called Democrat
party of this State, as the peoples party
the only Union party &C.? Sc
! But we proposed TO give the doings c
this democratic party, for the benefit Of tn
few of our readers whose prejudices and par
tisan pride induces them still to cling to tn
corrupt remains of what was once, perhaps
the democratic party. The following is tn
ticket put in nomination.
