district, in favor of Mr.. Barber.-t
Dur own county, of the temper off
which, we in no wise felt certain,
seems not only to concur in his NOM

divided ranks. The prospect for Mr..
BARRIERS success and the usual sue

be a matter of certainty"
The Baraboo Republic says of Mr..
Barber:
ga man of eminent ability, of un-
bending integrity, who has been
identified with the history of Wis

as a foregone conclusion, and we
have every reason to believe that
the people of the district will be
fully satisfied with their Representa-

The Darlington Republican says:
Judge Barber is man of correct
principles, Of great ability, q lawyer
Of wide and varied attachments, Of
large experience in public, thor
ough parliamentarian, an able jurist,

claims and interests OF every section
would be needed and protected, and
that he would faithfully and honor

eeA- From the light ahead we ex-
pect to see Maryland fall into the
line OF republican victories this fall.
The democratic majority in that
State last fall was about 10000
The registration Of colored voters
lately foots up $1,000 who will par
ticipate in the coming election. 1t
is safe to estimate that nine-tenths
Of these negroes, unless intimidated,
will support the republican ticket,
and save the State from further dem
ocratic rule. Look out now for Ku-
Klux outrages. The democracy will
attempt to carry tho State of course,
and in doing so may have to kill g
few thousand Of these wards Of the
republican party.
seA- Elections are being held to-day
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Iowa and Nebraska. Congressman
are to be elected in all the states,
and in Ohio. Indiana and Iowa state
officers, with the exception OF Gov
ernor. All these states went repub-
lican two years ago.
sES- immigration to this country
from Germany has not been materi-
ally checked by the European war,
as was greatly feared would prove
the case. The total arrivals for last
month were only 1856 less than for
the corresponding period of last
year.
