in making me your presiding officer on this
occasion. Perhaps established custom re-
quires that in entering upon its duties l
should discuss at some length the issues
involved in the coming contest 1fso, then
we will depart from common usage for
once. I.
/ will simply remark, then, that l trust
that the action Of this Convention will be
harmonious. A full, free and uninteirupt-
ed opportunity will be accorded to every
delegate to present whatever views he may
entertain of candidates or public policy
and when all has been said, all has been
done, the majority must govern, and as
earnest Republicans, as Republicans be-
cause we believe in the policy and measures
of the Republican party, let us Rcquiesce in
the verdict, whatever it may be.
1 need not reiterate the history of the
Republican party. 1t has saved the coun-
try from its deepest disgrace, and from all
its foes it has written its principles in the
Constitution and laws of the country it
has stamped them in the hearts of the
American people, aye, In the very soil of
the continent, and it will continue to gov
ern the country it has saved, although
some weariod by the march may have fallen
out by the wayside.

The Old stagers IN Green.

1.-THE Milwaukee NeDS isauthority
for the statement, the Democrats
and Liberals Of Green county have
again organized, and we remember
they attempted to form an alliance
last fall, to carry the county at the
coming election against the Repub-
licans, We are no political weather
cock, but will wager the Ne,cS man
that he is as much mistaken about
Green county this fall rs he was be.
fore. An announcement Of the
NcCS is to the effect that this new
party movement has the power to
shape political results in Green at
the next election, aud that two hun
dred signatures are appended to the
call for a new party convention in
that county. The Monroe Sentinel
tells US that of the number but lit.
tie over a bakers dozen are former
Republicans. Why, there is not an
Incorporated village or city in the
State but contains that number of
recent Republicans who from disap-
pointment in securing local official
position would vote for any new
party movement. The city OF Mon
roe alone contains voting popula-
ton of near 500, and we wonder
that there were not at least two
SCORES of names of heretofore Repub.
licans attached to the call. Tho
Sentinel, which is the most reliable
organ 10 the county, says the "new
movement will not fool any great
number of Republicans, and that it
is the Democratic party in new
suit of clothes.

A Dubuque Scandal.

DUBUQUE, Iowa., July 25-The
examination of Ginsel for insest and
for making way with the body of
the child, born of his daughter, COM
menced to- day. Five witnesses
were examined for the prosecution.
but their testimony was conflicting,
and nothing definite can be decided
from it. Ginsel's daughter is so i'll
that she cannot be brought into
court, but she acknowledged to the
Coroner that her father was the
father of her child, but subsequently,
under the influence Of her father Il
is supposed, denied this being the
case. The line of defense will be
that the girl who gave birth TO the
child is not GinsePs daughter. This.
of course, throws the burden of proof
on the State that she is, which will
be somewhat difficult to do, as the
parties are foreigners.

can shows that the Republican party
began the battle of the people for
the regulation of railway charges
long before the era Of the oranges.
1t says;
Long before anti monopoly move.
ments were thought of, before gran
ges or farmers clubs were organized,
a Republican State Constitutional
Convention, called to revise the Con.
stitution, actually Incorporated INTO
that instrument provision that rail-
ways should not be independent, but
that they should be controlled by
the Legislature'of the State. Rail-
ways were declared to be public
highways, and free to all persons for
the transportation OF persons and
property thereon under such regula-
tons as might be prescribed by law.
The very first Legislature that met
under the present Constitution pass
ed a railway law, terribly stringent
in It's provisions and while it was
held to be constitutional in some of
it's provisions, no one can doubt the
good faith of Republican Legisla-
tnre in the passage OF the law, and
that this action was in the interests
of the people. And so the second
and last Legislature under the new
Constitution, above all bribery and
corruption, and Notwithstanding all
the influences that railways could
bring to bear upon members, has
given another law to the people of
the State.
