Wisconsin in New York.

When the Wisconsin delegates to the
Democratic Convention went to New York,
| it was understood and expected that they
would use their entire influence for the
nomination of Geo. H. Pendleton. 1t was
a well known fact that the Democracy of
Wisconsin wished the nomination of Pen
dleton, and they expected their delegates
to so represent them. But instead of do
ing SO they persistently voted for Dooltt.e,
which from the first was seen to be blind,
for there is probably not a dozen demo-
Gratis in the state who desired the nomina-
ton of Doolittle They held off, and would
not vote for the various candidates who APP
parently stood chance of nomination.
showing evidently that their man was not
up,-but as soon as the name of Horatio
Seymour was presented they went for him
to man. This had not very honest
look, and called forth considerable comment
from those who had been led to expect a
different course of their representatives.
1t was limited that something was wrong.
but nothing definite was known until Brick
Pomeroy, who attended the convention, let
the cat out of the bag in letter to his pa
per at La Crosse. He says: "Deleeates
aoho left home instructed for and in fauor Of
Psndletoa, haze been bought By. money paid
to them to cote against linn. Ouer $780,
900 soerepaid out to buy delegates a,oay from
Pendleton, 5etsoeen the 1st and 4th Of July,
AND SOME OF THIS MONEY WENT
TO WISCONSIN DELEGATES" *

in the future, a, aoartare 5etsoesn the Shiny,
corrupt. reckless, dishonest, msoney-using,
political trichsters Of Neso York, and the
Young Democracy Of the Great Vest"
AS the West was scooped and the East
was triumphant, it is plain that 'the young
Democracy of the Great West could not
stand the pressure. "The Shiny, corrupt,
dishonest, money-using, political tricksters
of New York" was too much for them
Nor was it money alone that was used, for
Pomeroy says that "pazaces Of prostitution,
schers soine and sOonae,a s0ere free to those scho
aoere for sale," were used to corrupt the
Pendleton men. These influences, CON-
bined, it seems were too much for the vir-
tue of the Wisconsin delegates, and they
consented to throw away their votes on
Doolittle until Pendleton and other western
favorites were killed, and at the beck of
Belmont and the political tricksters of New
York hold themselves in readiness to 60
for Seymour at the proper time. They
followed instructions to the letter, it is to
presumed they got well paid for it.

Base Ball.

Mr.. EDIToR-The members of the base
ball club of this place deem it due them
that some explanation should be made why
the return game of ball was not played in
this village on Saturday last. The reason
is thusly:
The Hickories of this place have COM
planned great deal about the injustice
done them while at Mineral Point, and
were calculating on next Saturday as the
day that was to decide which was the best
club, in fair and square game, and sent
a note to the Mineral Point club asking
them whether or not they were coming out
on that day. The "Seniors" did not even
deign to answer our note, they could not
possibly condescend to come out here and
play us, for to be whipped by Country
club" would be lowering the dignity of the
"city" players awfully, and we have come
to the conclusion that they are afraid to
play us on our own grounds, with every
thing done fairly and honestly.
Thus our boys have no chance to re-
trieving their lost laufels, and Mineral
Point is considered the champions over
Dodgeville. A. PLAYER.

Ba~The display of northern lights last
Friday evening was the most beautiful and
brilliant we have seen for long time
The northern heavens seemed all ablaze
with light, glowing rays following each
other in rapid succession up to the very
zenith.
Nothing could exceed the intensity
of color these rays exhibited-from the
most delicate rose to vivid crimson-from
palest gold to orange, from violet to pur-
pie so deep and glowing that the royal
dyes of Tyre were vain boast, and then
all blending into confusion SO dazzling
that the eye could hardly endure it.
In the western sky little south of the
main body of the aurora, there appeared a
luminous spot, at times appearing like a
small cloud, and then suddenly illuminated
by fiery glow. There was nothing about
it to attract particular attention only that
it seemed to be independent of anything
else. All at once. with the velocity of
lightning, it shot almost entirely across the
heavens, in southeasterly direction, for a
few moments retaining its brilliancy, and
then gradually fading. Those who were
not fortunate enough to see it, can hardly
imagine the magnifcence of the spectacle.
Comparable to nothing unless gigantic
Comet sweepinp over the sky. or a monster
rocket hurled upward by tremendous
force.
So we'll does nature guard her secrets,
that man is forever being baffled in his
attempts to penetrate them, and among
the unsuccessful attempts is that to find
the cause for these displays. Various
theories are advanced, but so many points
are involved in doubt, that few, if any
minds ere satisfied with the solutions OF
the great problem given.

Seymour's Unpopularity.

The weakest man in New York, who
was ever candidate for Office, is Horatio
Seymour. He has been nominated for
Governor of that State .tSve times, and
elected but twice. In 1850 he was the
Democratic candidate, and was defeated,
although all the other candidates upon the
Democratic ticket were elected by large
majorities. He was nominated again in
1852, and was elected by small majority,
the rest of the Democratic ticket having a
majority between 5000 and 1000. In
1854 he was a candidate for the third time
and was disastrously beaten, he being be-
hind his ticket. In 1862 he was elected
by nearly 1900 majority-the majority
of his associates on the ticket being much
greater. In 1864 he was again a candidate
but failed for the fifth time to keep up with
his ticket, At the election next fall, the
fact that he is the Democratic nominee,
will bring out forty thousand Republican
votes which might not otherwise be polled
at all, and render the state of New York
certain for Grant by majority ranging
high among the tens of thousands.
