county, which has never furnished
. Congressman, but a deserving
tribute to Mr.. Magoon, who is
gentleman, a scholar, and man OF
marked ability. He will be elected
by handsome majority, and the
Third District of Wisconsin will be
ably represented in the next Con-
gress.-Galena Gazette.
The Republican Congressional
Convention, the proceedings OF
which we publish elsewhere, not
withstanding the contest was pro-
longed almost beyond precedent,
passed of tremendously, and the
nomination will be cordially asqui-
esced in by Republicans through
out the District--PdtteciM Witness.
Hon. Henry s. Magoon is the first
native born citizen of, Wisconsin
who has ever received the nomina-
ton for Congress. In his election
the State will be represented by a
true son of Wisconsin, OF whom the
people may well be proud in the
National COngress.-State Journal.
The Republicans of the Third
Congressional District of Wisconsin
have nominated Hon. Henry S.
Magoon, of Darlington for Congress.
Mr.. Magoon, who represented his
district in the State Senate Of the
last Legislature with great accepta-
bility, is an accomplished gentle
man, one of the best lawyers of that
portion of the State, and possessing
elements of popularity and states
manship. If elected to Congress, as
he assuredly ought to be, he will
make his mark. We bespcak for
him the united and earnest support
of all the good men in the Third
District Chicago Journah
Mr. Magoon is, perhaps, as good
candidate us was presented to the
convention. Darlington Democrot
Senator Magoon is a gentleman
of rare attachments, some leglsla-
tive experience, and every way "a
suitable candidate for nice, straight
haired Radicals.-Irairie du Citizen
Courier, Dem.
THEODORE TILToN and Mutual
Moulton have let forth new deluge
of obscenity and SANDER against
Mr.. Beecher and many other peo-
pie; but it falls harmlessly to the
ground, receiving scarcely any at
tention from press or people. Silent
contempt is the proper reception to
be given these vile scandal mongers.
WILL OBEY.-The Supreme Court
of Wisconsin having decided that
the Potter Law is constitutional,
the managers of the Chicago ~
Northwestern and the Milwaukee
Il st Paul railroads have announced
their determination to comply there
with. Thus the r. r. war is
suuelched until it shall be reopened
in the Legislature next winter.
lT is seldom the types tell of
more appalling calamity than that
which fell upon one OF the great
Fall River cotton mills, and the OPP
eratives within it, on Saturday.
The factories at this point have
grown up through all the period
since 1872, and many of them have
accumulated great wealth. The
mill destroyed employed 700 hands,
crowded in work-roomS from the
basement to the fifth story, and SO
sudden was the outbreak of the fire
that, though work was in progress
at The time, the dense volume OF
smoke reached the upper stories
and really carried the first alarm to
that quarter. 1t will strike every
one as somewhat peculiar that III
such an establishment the means OF
escape provided were not 50 ample
as utterly to preclude the possibiii-
ty OF such a disaster to life as We
are compelled to read in these pain
ful REPORTS. The wires assure us
that iolt!, if not more, mostly girls,
lost their lives, while many are
manned lor the rest of their lives by
Jumping panic-stricken from the
upper windows. Indeed, there is a
