add greatly to the prosperity not
alone of this state, but to the entire
northwest, by increasing and cheap
ening the facilities for marketing our
vast agricultural, mineral and lumber
products, and that we therefore
favor the early completion of said
Improvement by the general gov
eminent"
RESOLVED, That we tender to the
Senators and members in Congress
from this State, the heartfelt thanks
of this convention for their earnest
efforts in behalf of the Fox and
Wisconsin Improvement, and for
the able and efficient manner in
which the interests of our State
have been called for at all times.
i, ReS0tUed, That we reaffirm the
principles enumerated in the Nation
al Republican Platform of 1868, and
that in the judgment of this conven-
ton a firm adherence to these prin-
ciples will advance the best interests
of the people, and establish the
prosperity of the nation on an en-
during basis.
RESOLVED, That the administration
of General Grant meets with our
hearty endorsement and commends
itself to the approval of all classes
for its rigid economy in every de-
partment of the Government; it's
honest and faithful collection of the
public revenue, and above all, for
its consistent and unfaltering adher-
ance to the great principles of free
dom and equality, which constitute
the cornerstone of the Republican
organization.
ReSOtUed, That in the struggle now
in progress in Europe, we heartily
sympathize with the people of Ger
many in their efforts to preserve the
territory intact which rightfully be-
longs to them that we earnestly
desire that the effusion of blood will
soon cease, and we cherish the hope

will witness the defeat and over

who is endeavoring to extend the
dominion of hateful despotism on
the soil of an unofending people.
Resolved, That in Hon. Amasa
Cobb, our present representative in
Congress, we recognize one who has
always fulfilled the duties devolv-

so long held with credit to himself
and honor to the district. That his
whole course in Congress has been
marked by rigid honesty and unAag-

carry with him on retiring from his

his services are appreciated by his
constituents.

County Nominations.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t seems to be about
time for the citizens Of Grant county
to look around among our best men
with a view as to who are best quail
fled to fill the county offices. There
are to be elected this Fall a Clerk OF
the Court, Clerk of the Board of Su-
pervisors, Sheriff, Recorder and
Treasurer.
All or part of the present incum-
bents may be reelected, except the
Sheriff, who by very peculiar and
Objectionable law cannot serve in
that office more than one term, OF
rather cannot serve for two success
i've terms. OF course Mr.. elise will
be obliged to give place to some 9th
err, possibly better, man, though
we consider that doubtful, as Mr..
elise possesses many qualifications
for that position. Mr.. Kinney has
had his Office for two terms, and ac-
cording to our party customs cannot
complain If he be set aside to make
room for another aspirant. Can we
better ourselves by the change? We
think not. Messrs. AItizer, Wood
house and Schreiner are all new
hands at the business. Are they So
Der mon, and do they attend proper
ly and promptly to their business ?
In brief, are they competent men ?
These questions naturally suggest
themselves to our mind, and should
be considered by every man IN the
county. If, upon close examination,
we find them the right men in the
right places, our theory is to keep
them there rather than to risk any
change. We are no rotation-in-office
man. What would community say
of the mechanic or farmer who would
discharge good, faithful workman
on the simple plea that he had kept
him in employment one or two years
and now he must go and do for him
self, then employ an entire stranger
to do his work for him, and all
simply on the rotation principle, or
as we would call it, rotation nonsense.
Our theory is to get good officers
men we'll qualified for the Office they
are chosen-and then keep them as
long as possible.
We don't intend to discuss the
merits or dement's of any of our
county officers, but if there are any
changes to be made, we claim the
same right that we are willing to
accord to all others that is, the
right of presenting the names of
such men as we believe would make |
good officers, to fill such places as
may become vacant by any change
that might be made. We will here
introduce Fletcher S. Kidd as a suit |
able man for the office of Clerk of
The Board of Supervisors and we
nave no hesitation in recommending
aim as in every way yell qualified for
hat position from our own knowI- |
edge, and then, too, we are prepared |

S@- Carlotta, Isabella and Eugene
What a strange, sad picture the three
present to-day Carlotta, once i'm
perial and world-famous on the
throne Of Maximillian--now bereft
of her beauty and her mind, and in
durable. Isabella, the abdicated
Queen of Spain, driven from her
throne, and exiled to anything but a
happy life. Eugene, regent OF
France, brilliant and beautiful, from
her imperial throne in Paris COMPEL
ed to see her power not only threat
ened, but seemingly gradually fading
away.
This is the situation of the three
queens who ten years ago were the
three representative women of the
world. Who would envy them in
their present position Who would
be the homeless, faded, powerless,
suffering Carlotta-only the wreck of
former beauty? Or who would have
the tongue of scandal whisper over
the world its wretched gossip, as it
does of Isabella? Or who would
care to take Eugenie's responsible
ties, watched by the whole world,
and not unlikely to lose her position
at any moment?
