The Oshkosh Northeastern in an arti-
Gle on the Governorship says there
seems to be an impression in some por-
tions of the State that the Convention
will take up third man not now prom.
inently mentioned in connection with
the office. It adds: AL
The friends Of Gov. Fairchild, who
are numerous, look to him as the prom.
inent third man, in case sof failure
to nominate either Washburn or Smith
We are assured on the best of authority
that of the Governor himself that
under no circumstances would he con-
sent to be candidate nor would he &C.
cept a nomination if rendered him.

CHOLER a.

This fell disease has been for several
years past working its way westward
from its home and general abiding place
British India. Cholera has been rag
ing In Russia for the last two years,
and it has crossed over into Germany,
notwithstanding that the necessary
sanitary measures were adopted by the
Prussian government to stay it's prog
ress. 1t is now reported in the south
Of France and case is also reported as
having occurred recently at Hull, En-
gland, on the route of emigrant ships
from Europe to this country. A recent
dispatch from Berlin states that the
cholera continues its ravages at kongis-
berg, where Tuesday, the 18th inst,
there were seventy new cases and thlr-
tyfour deaths, and the next day eighty
new cases aud tWenty-seven deaths.
The disease had also appeared IN the
neighborhood of Stillin.
England expects TO be visited by the
disease, and that the United States
should escape is hardly possible. 1t
does not. however, follow because it is
in Europe that it will come to America,
though it must be admitted there are
some grounds of apprehensions, and it
behoves all to adopt every precau tiona-
ry sanitary regulation in view of the
probability of its approach to our
stores. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure in this case as well as
that Of every other. Dirt may not be
the origin of cholera, but there is node
nying that the disease can be best per
petuted by disregarding, the laws of
clean mess and is more viru ent and des
tructive in the filthy quarters oftOwns
and cities. Measures for its,prevention
have been already taken in New York
and Brooklyn, and apprehensions as to
its approach are becoming less alarming
in those cities, but good authorities say
that this country rarely escapes the ep-
idenic when it prevails in France or
England. The disease journeys SO
slow that it is net likely to visit US this
season to any great extent, although it
would not surprise US to hear Of cases
very soon in some of our seaport cities,
brought thither by emigrants ; let US
hope, however, that we are to escape
the scourge altogether, and thus have
the present unpleasant forebodings of
the people dissipated.
The Democratic Convention for the
nomination of State officers will be
held at Madison to day CIV ednesday).
There appears to be very little excite
ment over the affair, as it is only a
question of who are willing to stand the
brunt of campaign, and be led like
sheep to the slaughter. Ex-Governor
Nelson Dewey, of Grant County, is the
most prominently mentioned as can
didate for governor, while Senator Max
on, of Washington Co., is not without
many admirers who are anxious to see
him placed in nomination for the po-
sltion.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1871-08-23

The main reasons, however, for this
determination on the part of the Gov
ernor does. honor to his head and heart.
He fully appreciates the honors already
conferred upon him by the people, and
prefers that they with the responsible
ties should now be transferred to other
shoulders.
He will leave the gubernatorial chair
with the love and respect of his fellow
citizens of both parties, who will rejoice
to see him occupy some other field,
where the same talents and ind ustry
and devotion to the interests of the
people shall enttle him the same and
additional need of praise.

EYE AND EAR.

From the Missouri Republican March 9, 1850
We have examined various testimonials
in the form of letters, extracts from. foreign
and and home journals, and certificates Of
cure from persons of wide reputation, which
have been shown US by DR.. J. B. Walker,
and they give strong testimony in favor Of
the Doctors skill in treating diseases Of
the Eye and Ear. DR.. ". has held an ap-
pointment in one of the largest London,
Hospitals, and is in every respect literally
educated man, and his references are of the.
highest character.

llcanS III Tue O0utn anu keep from Vot-
ing The Democracy is directly charge
able with all the outrages, and no one
doubts that one word from the leaders
of the party would put stop to them.
Even admitted that the reports may be
exaggerated, and that carpet baggers and
corrupt men in power may have caused
the outrages, yet they cannot wholly
be denied, and the fact remains, that
in many localities it is dangerous for
man to avow himself a Republican
Add to all this that the New Departure
fails to take particularly in the South,
and there can be no doubt that the pros
poets for the Republican party are very
fattering, and as they constantly
improve, so, [ think, Grants chances
for denomination are encouraging,
not again so much on account of his
own strength, as on account of the
weakness of his adversarics. The
charge brought against him are so silly
and ridiculous, and one cannot help smil
ing, when he reads column or two ex,
ira In Democratic anti-administration
paper. charging upon the fast that the
President IS spending few weeks at the
seaside. The labors of president, while
they do not consist in any hard work, are
of that tiresome character that are very
apt to make man long for recreation,
and with telegraph and daily mail COM
munication, there is no danger that any
public duty will be neglected. More
over, believe that he generally spends
one day every week in the city, or
more, if necessary.
The weather is quite warm again,
and the air very sultry. Few people
are on the streets, unless on their way
to or from business, and visitors few.
