PRESIDENT MAKING.

Since our last issue the Democrats of the
great State of New York have met in.
convention at Rochester, n. Y, May 18th,
and elected delegates TO the National
Democratic Convention to be held at Balti-
more, and passed reso utions recognizing
the changes in the nature and necessities
of our government, and without reopen
ing questions of the past, are now ready to
cooperate and affiliate with any and all
who are earnest and honest in tie desire
Of restoring an honest administration Of
national affairs. They heartily endorse the
platform of political principles adopted by
the Convention at Cincinnati as a proof of
the public opinion, and ask all to unite on
that platform for the purpose Of enforcing
tho obligations of the Constitution, and the
delegates to the Baltimore Convention
were instructed to take the course best cal
cuiated to secure this object in the selec-
ton Of any candidate, as the exponent of
these principles, who iSht meet the ap-
prONal OF tllat tonVentlon.
While we believe that the New York
Delegation to the Baltimore Convention
will vote en- 5aaSse for Horace Greeley I'M
less something strikes the current of coming
events more powerful than tidal rare,
yet Mr.. Greeley being a New York man
the Convention showed its wisdom by not
introducing premature Instructions. 1t Is
not becoming in State Conventions in all

and g'lShiag," like US country newspa-
per editors, yet the fact must be patent to
every thinking mind that the Liberals must
make show of positive strength before
they can ask three million Of voters to
meet them on common ground, and, in or
der to make their strength apparent, they
must have time. We do not hesitate to
say they have got it, even more than they
claim, for we think we know many eau
tious Republicans who have as yet made
no sign, but are waiting for time to develop
the probabilities of Greeley's endorsement
by the Baltimore Convention, and if in no
other way, all disclose their uneasness by
asking, "Will Grant or some new man get
the nomination at Philadelphia ?" If you
answer, "some new man, hope brightens
their eyes, and they ask, "Who ?" but if
YOU answer " Grant" they pass on re-
tiectively, but do not whisHe rorh cent

TAX VALUATIONS AT MADISON.

The Republican papers throughout the
State are taking considerable cheap credit
TO themselves in regard to the reduction of
the valuation by the State Board OF EoualI-
cation at Madison, which, in fact Is moth
ing more or less than an attempt TO white
wash the eXtravagant expenditures of the
last Legislature, and the largely increased
tax thereby neeessitated. The State
tax last year was S350,000; this wear it
is 100000. The extra tax of $4,000
70 be levied this year over last is never
alluded to, but the fact that the assessed
valuation of The whole State is rcLoced
500, 536,752 i much talked of. Yet, as
the assessed valuation now stands, Mani
towoc County is assessed about one fftieth
part Of the whole State assessment. and
will have 10 pay that proportion of the
total tax to the State. For the year 1870
the assessed valuation of this county was
Sl,917 ,5S5; for this year, 1872, it is ST.
1o2,2U1, decrease of S275,37S, while it
should nave been about 81 ,25U, OUO had
they not raised the valuation to sl4 per acre.
Relatively we have no great cause of com
plalnt, as Calumet and Outagamie counties
are also put at that figure, while Shebov
gan county Is assessed ut Sl1 per acre.
The amount of our indebtedness on account
Of State tax viii not exceed the gross
amount paid last year but little, yet it is

Fires in pennSylyaDia.

New YORK, May lS.-A Scranton dis
Patch states that the fires on the line Of the
Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad con-
time, covering a district of over thirty-fve
miles IN length. The village of Tobyhan-
ma has been burned, including several saw,
lumber and bark mills; bridges and plank
roads were destroyed, besides thousands of
acres on the mountains of valuable standing
timber. Travel on the railroad is danger
Gus and difficult, and large numbers of
men are kept employed to prevent the burn
ing of the sleepers. The woods are also
on fire around Corbondale, on the Dele
ware and Hudson railroad, and it is feared
that Carbonate will be burned.

Meeting of the Democratic State Cen.


We publish the call for the Democratic
State Convention 20 be held on Thursday,
the 18th Of June in this city, for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the Democrat
ic National Convention, which will be
held at Baltimore on the 9th day of July.
The reason for calling the Convention
at this city instead Of at Madison was that
from almost all parts of the State delegates
to the convention could leave home III the
morning and come here and transact the
business of the Convention in couple Of
hours, and return, reaching home the same
night From such distances even a.
Green Bay, La Crosse, Prairie du Chen
and Mineral Point, delegates can leave
home the night before and reach here in
the morning, returning the following night,
so that their entire absence from their
homes will not exceed So hours. From
Oshkosh, Berlin, Madison, Beloit and Re
nosha, delegates can Leave at a s@asonable
hour after an early breakfast and get home
by bed time.
All the members Of the committee were
were present but the Hon. Sat Clark. who
is detained at Madison by a session Of the
Senate, and the Hon. f. 5. Ellis, DR.. John
A. Rice and Capt. q. l.. Park, who were
placed On the committee tc ill vacancies.
The question of a democratic endorse
ment Of Greeley as candidate for Presi-
dent was not raised: the subject was not
mentioned in the session of the committee.
1t was regarded as Tot a question on which
an official expression ofopinion wa, expect

COL. FoRNEYS OPINION.

COL. FoRNEY'S OPINION.
WAsHISGTo>, D. c., May l7.-Within
week the President has become consider
ably alarmed, touching the prospect of his
nomination and reelection. The election
of Senator Ferry, in Connecticut coupled
with the action of the New York Demo-
cratic Convention, endorsing the Cincin-
natl platform, were the first evidences of
the strength of the Liberal Republican
movement, which seriously affected him.
He sent for Colonel Forney yesterday, and
that gentleman arrived this morning in
obedience to the summons, and dined with
the President this evening. The Presi-
dent was II good deal surprised to discover
that Fornev did not agree with the ma Or
ity of his advisers on one important point,
to-wit: that the nomination of Greeley at
Baltimore would be a good thing for the
Radical party. Forney thought this was a
delusion, and the sooner the President got
rid of it the better. Grant told Forney
that he had been assured by all of his
friends that he would get as many votes
| from the Democratic ranks as Greeley
| would receive. q Mr.. President" said
! F0rncy, " don't allow yourself to be de.
ceived on that question. | have been in
| The Democratic party, and | know, or
ought to know, its discipline. If Greeley
is nominated at Baltimore, as think he
will be, he Will receive the large mass of,
we may say, all the Democratic vote, with
thc exception of men like Dan VOORHEES,,
| who have no following outside of their dis
| tricts.' The President was good deal
surprised at this, and said Fornev was the
| first man to talk to him in that way.
9 Mr.. President" said Forney, with great
| carncstness, "there is no use either in
| being backward in undeceiying yourself.
1t is great mistake to urderrate Greeley
| Men who laugh at him, and endeavor to
make you believe that he Is of no account
have no idea of the situation. They are
not the men to advise YOU The Presi-
dent was good deal impressed with what
Fornev said, but it is believed that he sus
poets Fornev of getting ready to 60 over to
Greeley. Cameron has informed hin
that Forney would go over to Greeley be
fore the October election, and Grant evil
IDENTIFY believes it. This result may be ex
pccted from what is already known.

ings from this cause greatly aggravated by
damp weather. easterly winds. and sudden

In the spring, therefore, the pangs Of indi-
eestion are seriously augmented by the atmos-

luxurious gales with easy stom9chs, and un-
tormented by the indescribable torments
which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and
strengthen the digestive organs with health
full and effective vegetable inyigorant; and
no one at all familiar with the medical record
Of the age, can question for one moment that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the Tonic best
adapted to this purpose. The credentials Of
the Great Restorative are unequaled In num-
Der and character by those Of any other adj
yertised medicine in the world. If ever there
was A preparation TO rank as a National
Romedy, this wonderful specific has fair
claim to the title. For a period of twenty
years il has literally been the Champion
Tonic and Alternative on this side of the At
lantic. In popularity it has never been APP
preached by any of its would-be competitors.
and its annual sales are so far in advance OF
those of any other medicine of its class. that
comparisons would be ridiculous. One Of
two conclusions is inevitable (: Either the
American people are deficient in common
sense, and incapable of rational discrimina-
ton, or Hostetter's Bitters is the best proven
tive remedy for indigestion. fever and ague.
bilious remittent fever. constipation. rheu-

dies of an epidemic or endemic type. The
reader will judge for himself which of the
two conclusions is most consistent With fact
