Considerable surprise is expressed in politi-

Convention should have appeared this week in
the Nord-Westen only OF course it = sup
posed tLat It VIII be published next week in
your paper; but as it is generally believed
that Tue PLor has not been guilty Of any
such political lin as to deserve excommunica-
ton tie wonder IS increased, rather than Ii
minished, that II should be issued one week
earlier to the German rublic than to the Eng
lish The call as il is published in the Nord-
Weston IS for the Convention to meet ut Mani
towoc the 8tL day Of October, and nominate
full ticket Of such county officers rs are 70 be
elected this fall except District Attorney,
Surveyor and Coroner. As The PILOT Is
not published until Thursday, the 29th, and
does not reach all its subscribers till about
the day for holding the Convention, it is
feared that some who are not able to read

it is over or at least till it is too late to par
ticipate il its proceedings. This is, however,

Of ''Modestus," that your city Is abundantly
able and quite willing to supply the oand. dates
with the exception Of Coroner, and may be
Induced to furnish that also if tie other II
towns. doubling their ability, viii use the
right sort Of persuasion.

case 10 blame attaches to your city. Would
it not be well for the whole county to take
this matter in hand? Let the President be
selected from some outside town: have one
vice president from each town. have treas
