Who IS HE.-A gentleman with
less good sense than audacity, presented
himself before the Primary Department
of the village school Of Leroy, . few
days since, stating that he was visiting
schools. He placed himself on line
with class that was spelling and reci-
ted with them as his turn came, cor
rectly. Finally the teacher becoming
tired Of his strange performances, sent
to Miss Davidson Of the Higher Depart
ment, to devise some means to get rid
of this novel lunatic. On arriving, the
stranger turned ana addressing himself
to Miss Davidson: as he stood with
tears actually coursing down his cheeks,
said, among other odd things, "These
tears are not the tears Of grief but Of
pure love-" The question is,who is the
man whose place it is to visit schools in
our county and who is shedding tears Of
"pure love" for the sohoolmaams.

has triumphed over force, and where
affection has subdued bitter enmity.-
From your whole range ofreading and
observation, strive to incorporate into
your own nature those qualities and ex-
celloncies which you find worthy in 9TH

spirit. Lastly, fix definitely in your

you desire to infuse into those around
you, and then tax your energies to the
utmost to devise appropriate methods
for accomplishing your object.
Be vigilant, be fearless, and you may
hope at least, that if you cannot always
conquer, you can retire hoaorably from
the field Of conflict. n. F. G.

mentioned, in connection With that Office
much has been said concerning him,
but We have yet to learn that a single
word has been uttered derosatory to
his ability, and fitness for the position,
or his character as a man. As judge he
enjoys an exec llent reputation, his
decisions being seldom overruled, while
his honesty and purity Of purpose arc
notquestioned, even by his worst polite
al enemies. He has one virture possessed
by few leading men Of tho State. He
is not allied to any Of the corrupt polit-
ioal factions that have hitherto carried
disorder and almost ruin into the Re.
publican ranks. He comes forth,
man from among tho people, unpledged
and untrammeled except as he is sworn
to support the principles Of liberty,
honesty and equal rights.
If, in our judgment, locality had
anything to do with the question when
seeking the proper man for chief ex-
ecutive Of State, We might urge that
he belongs to that portion which, from
its surprising wealth and population
could justly ask to be recognized
The Southern district has always been
put off with second class positions, while
st. Paul, and vicinity, have reaped the
harvest. The time has como to change
the order Of relations.
From the signs of tho times, we are
fully satisfied that dge Austin is now
far ahead Of all competitors, and that
ho is most emphatically "the coming
man." We hope that the Republicans
in Mower county will unite in giving
him their hearty support.
For each of the other Offices, many
names have been mentioned, but public
sentiment seems not yet to be settled.
Winona has man for Lieut.. Gov
ernor, Rochester wants the Auditor;
the Scandinavians claim tho Secretary
Of State, and so on. We are aware
that our own notions are somewhat an.
tiquated, but We would recommend that
every candidate be examined as to his
honesty. We are also aware that it is
somewhat out of character in these later
days for public man to be honest, but
We are willing to take the responsibility
ofmaking the suggestion that an honest
administration is greatly needed.

the incoming Of the new regime, mining
operations will be commenced with vig-

excitement was occasioned several years
ago by the discovery of gold in that Sec

Company refused to sell, or allow their
traders to sell provisions to miners, as
the "diggins" were located in their best

were put down. 1t is claimed that the
mines there are rich in gold.-St,

EDITORS TRANscR1Pr AS wc arc
constant readers Of your most excellent
journal, and always like to hear from
all parts Of tho county, the thought
struck us that word from Udolpho
might be in place, although We have
not much news to communicate just now
but what little we have we freely give.
We read the article in the TRANS
cR1rT Of E's., in relation to how the
thing is done, and was glad that f. had
moral courage to present it to the pub
lie, we have long been Of tho same
opinion with him,and have said to friends
that there should be change made in
the law, or some way provided to have
tho taxes collected differently from what
they are now. We think that almost,
if not every township can testify from
sad experience, that they have laborod
under embarrassing circumstances, from
the fact that taxes arc 50 long being
collected that VIC have to levy q tax,
say for bridge or school house of
a thousand dollars, to be built the COM
ing season. The tax is levied, and in
stead Of receiving one thousand, we get
perhaps two hundred dollars and in
two or three years We have to levy an
other tax for the same purpose of two
or three hundred dollars, and SO on
We say, let the subject be agitated

The state Ticket.

On the 9th day Of September next,
Z convention will be held at the State
Capital, for the purpose Of placing in
nomination. the candidates to fill the
following State officers:
Governor, -.
Lieut.. Governor.
Secretary Of State,
Attorney General,
State Auditor,
State Treasurer,
Chief Justice of tho Supreme Court,
Clerk Of the Supreme Court,
1t was our intention to present, be-
fore now, a resume Of the opinions Of
the press throughout the State, upon
the question of nominations, but the
opinions,s 80 far a. given, are so malifarious
and indefinite, that very little that is
reliable can be gathered from them
The political factions, having their
head center in St. Paul, seem to be
waiting for each other to move; each
hoping the other will make some false
step that can be used to advantage.
The Press is silent, except a. it reflects
what others say, and now and then,
nominates some probable candidate
whose prospects it wishes to blast.
The Donnelly faction are lying low
with one eye fxed upon large game in
the future. But their talented, and
pugnacious leader is too nervous and
ambitious to remain quiet long, and in
certain contingency, may turn up in
the convention. At al events, there
will be no lack of candidates for the
various of7icies. Lieut.. Governor Ar1o-
strong, of Olmsted County, who has
evinoed considerable executive ability,
As presiding officer Of the State Senate,
it is understood, desires promotion.-
But whether he entertaios sufficient
hope Of success to permit his name to
come before the convention, remains to
be seen. There are several reasons why
it is more than probable that he will
withdraw from the field altogether if
he has not already done so. First, Gov.
Armstrong is not man whose person
al influence and bearing are such as to
inspire enthusiasm among the masses of
people in his ability as q leader. He
ran we'll in an inferior position, over
which there was no particular contro-
versy, but his success in any attempt to
lead party, would be extremely doubt
full. Again, it is more than intimated
that be would not receive the support
Of the leading men Of his own county.
This may be partly because . "prophet
is not without honor, save in his own
country" and partly from the fact,
that Olmsted county, has another
prominent candidate for State position
already in the field, whose claims will
be urged with pertinacity. The most
prominent candidate now before the
people, and the one who is receiving the
most flattering support from the Re-
publican press of tho State, is Judge
Austin, of St. Peter. S;ncs biz name was
