The Changers In Council.

The Convention of Changers held
at Watertown on Tuesday of last
week was attended by delegates
from the Changers generally through
out the State, and was in MANY re-
spects notable gathering, the reso-
iutions passed indicating that the
producing classes Of Wisconsin know
their rights and will hold the Legis-
latures and monopolies Jointly re.
sponsible for the wrongs suffered.
But the body wisely voted against
the proposition of the Dodge county
convention for the formation of a
farmers political party as means
OF accomplishing desired results.
This failure Of the farmers in State
Convention to bring out Grapger's
ticket or organize new party must
doubtless strike home to the several
new movements of a political char
acter desiring and promising aid
from that quarter. The order of the
Patrons of Husbandry was institute

cial and commercial advancement of
the agricultural classes and in orr

ed to produce internal discussions
and consequent disintegration, the
constitution expressly provides that
"neitker political or religious ques,
tons shall be tolerated as subjects for
discussion in the work of the organi'
cation" Not that the members OF
the order are indifferent to the en-
actment ofcorrupt laws, or that they
fail to see that such wrongs are to
De corrected by popular political
power, by substituting representa-
tives OF the integrity of the people
for representatives of the corruption
of the people, by the election of n en-
whose lives and action will reflect
honor upon the positions in which
they are placed, and not shameful
humiliation upon their country and
constituents. There is consequent
ly no restriction placed upon the
members of the order that shall de-
ter them from joining any political
association in their individual capac.
ity. And this principle is early set
forth in the address of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Waterloo Con

The state Convention.

The Republican State Convention
held at Madison on Monday last
represented by delegates every
district in the Commonwealth, and
was noted as well for the harmo.
ny Of its proceedings as for q wise
and satisfactory selection of candid
ates. The unanimous denomination
Of Governor Washburn by acclama-
ton was deserving tribute TO along
tried and faithful servant Of the peo-
pie. The Governors administration
has been marked by such ability,
honesty of purpose and prompt exc
cution Of the laws that his re.noms
ination is received with favor by all
classes disregardful of political con-
sideration. Indeed, 80 strong a hold
has Governor Washburn upon the
affections Of the people that it is
even doubtful that he will have an
opponent at the polls in November.
Senator r. II. Baker, OF Racine,
the nominee for Lieutenant Govern
or, is gentleman well known in
this State, Of which he is q native.
He is very popular in the eastern
counties where best known, is an
excellent business man and a sound
Republican. For Secretary Estate,
Hon. 4. w. Young of Sank is the
candidate--a most admirable selec-
ton. Mr.. Young is farmer, q man
of fine culture and broad views, and
peculiarly fitted by education for
the duties of that office. He will
run next to Governor Washburn on
the ticket. The "new deal" pro-
gramme nominated Col. o. G. John.

t@. The New York Tribune closes
an article on the Farmers War" on
railroad discr mination in the follow
ing: The railway has become ty>
rant, but we cannot do without it.
We must employ this servant, though
we know he will eventually rule as
master. The West to-day, is taxed
and oppressed by the railroads, and
yet one of the things which it chief
ly needs is more railroads. They will
not be built if it is understood that
corporations have no rights which
legislf lures are bound to respect,
and, that charters may be violated
as readily as political platforms.
Justice is the best policy in public as
in private affairs.

sisting of nine; one, the chairman,
at large, by the convention, and one
for each cor gressional district, by

| j. I'll. Vivian, of Iowa, said there
had been a new deal on the ticket,
and he thought it was time to have q
new deal on the State Committee.
and nominated j. r. Bingham, of
Milwaukee, for chairman, proceeding
to somewhat violent attack on r.
W. Keyes, as chairman.
This gave rise to quite lively dis
cussion, of which we are obliged to
defer a report.

Barron. of Polk, j. M. Bingham, of
Chippewa, Fl S. Magoon, of Lafay-
cite, and |. NJ. Bean, of Milwaukee.

resolution, which was adopted by
large majority.
Whereas, large part of the labor of organ
II ing and conducting the political compaigns
in this State, in behalf of the Republican par
ty, during the past two years has fallen upon
the State Central Committee, who have per
formed their duties ably and to the satisfac-
ton OF the party throughout the Sta te;
Whereas, The chief labor of said committee,
during said two years, has devoved upon the
Chairman, =. W. Reyes, who has. during
said period, discharged said duties with ability
and courage, with acknowledged energy and
skill, therefore,
Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven-
ton are hereby rendered to said Committee
for the able discharge of their responsible du-
ties, and that Hon. E. w. Reyes be re-nomi-
mated as Chairman of the State Contra, Com

Tho Land Grant Swindle.

As time rolls on, evidence increas-
es to show that the putting through
of the Immigrant bill in our Legisla-
ture last winter, was never intended
as anything but scheme to advance
the stock of the st Paul Railroad
for the benefit of q small ring of
stock jobbers. They had no thought
from the first of accepting the Grant
and building the roads. A New
York correspondent Of the Chicago
Journal says:
"There is one side of the Bayfield,
and St Croix Immigrant quarrel in
Wisconsin that is not fully UNDER
stood. Wall street men say that the
act was put through the Wisconsin
Legislature, last winter, for the sole
purpose of stock speculation. How
ever that may be, it is certain that q
large amount of money was made in
Wall street, because of tho passage of
the act. 1t is known that Russell
Sage and other officers of the road
made contracts to purchase large
amounts of the stock at 48, shortly
before the law was passed. Immedi-
ately upon the passage of the law the
stock went up to SO, at which price
the Sage party, it is said, sold at a
profit of 100000. 1t is understood
in Wall street that the Legislature
investment necessary to secure the
passage of the act was but $4,000.
This left to the ring new profit of
$3.50, 900 from the operation. 1t is
fair to state Alexander Mitchell was
unwilling to be party to this spec
ulative scheme, and had a quarrel
with the other officers of the road on
that account.
