CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
We feel it'our duty to give our readers CT
this 1T 6 Fiji Co e es ional District, timely
notice Of the Importance Of attending the
primary meetings and SELECTING pons. but
trustworthy neu TO attend the Congress
al Couyention at Sbeboygan, Sept 22ad,
who will put in nomination an able Demo
cratic Reform candidate to represent US at
Nashi gton for the next two years. The
Assembly Conventions, as may be seen
by the Pnor, are respectively called for
the 10Th of this rlonth.
1t is the imperative duty Of each voting
Reformer in this county to see that none
but staunch and able men are elected at
the primary town caucuses, from the fact
that in case our county presents solid
frpnt, and insists on former PROMISES fairly
aqi squaIeiy s.adf two Years ego being
fulfilled, our county vii, without Doubt,
SECURE the nomination at the S5eboygan
Convention.
The lake shore has never had a noni
nation with & ghost of chance for an
election. Mr.. Eldridge, our present mem
Der, made solemn promises two years ago,
which he cannot have forgotten, . stand
ont of tie way and give the lake shore IA
chance, WHICH, in fairness, he must redeem
by the action of himself and friends at the
Coming convention, and We will take our
even chances with Sheboygan. -
In case Mr.. yi!as's name is presented to
that Convention, backed " full delegation
from this county We have no hesitancy ia
predicting his triumphant nomination AMI
subseq tent election. a. .tF
We thought SO at the opening of the
campaign, some weeks since, and subsc-
quent events have only strengthened that
belief. All must see that in case we pre-
sent a div led delegation at the Sheloysan
Conven, Jon, all hopes Of Manitus Ok;
county Congressman are knocked higher
than kite for years to come.

can utilize all the talent in our midst, and
satisfy all reasonable ambition as to the
glory Of the great Reform party, and the
ultimate good Of each and every citizen of
our county. Let Us have entity which
bringeth peace and abouaclng majority.

THERE'S NJ REAL DANGER, BoYs.-
Thinking 1t the weakest comparison posi-
bic, We included that patent" the Ahna-
pc Pecord III a personal mention with the
Chronicle few weeks siuce. Judge
FIerpont, of the Chronicle, evidently feel
ing the indisnity, made no reply but the two
pecy infants who ? sumo to edit the ALnapes
Record, answered with I'll the assumption
and consciousness of boys having attained
the age CT puberty. Boys, after reading
your PATENT. We are entirely satisfied
that this presumption is prepostcrous; your
troubles are either mis-s Sickness or worms.
All ordinarily informed wet nurses now
successfully treat precoclous children by
troting them gently on their knees, face
downward, until all such diooi is disgorged
We pray that our friend, Senator Reed,
of the kewaunee Enterprise, may not
strange these monstrosities before We send
n naturalist up to examine them.
TlERE seems to BE every Indication that
business throughout tAe whole Northwest is
slowly but surely approaching that healthy
t-sis which it occupied in unte-be am times
The war caused high pices; but when the
war closed it was impossible to imme,i .teIy
go back to old prices, for we were left with
paper money which differed widely in value
ffom the gold money we had previously used
Yet there was ard there now is almost uni
versal desire to return to a specie basis; but
every man has enIeavorel to advance his
own interest 10y dem"ndings paper money

money pr 1es foI all articles he wished to
bny, and the tendency of this has . n 0 keep
prices way up, when they should have grad
ually come down &c gold basis. a
The panic Of last fall did great deal to-
wards bringing down prices and relieving
business from the feverish condition it has
been in since the close of the war by oblginr
hundreds and thousands of merchants aud
to sell tkei, wares Il. whatever
price they could get for them

can judge of the entire West is in what may
be termed convaiescent state, and if Con-
gress will emily cease t:ukering at the cur
rency it will soon regain its former yig.r.
