THE Reform Congressional Corven-
lion for this district, which met at
Boscobel on Tuesday, nominated q Mr..
Thompson, of Brodhead, Green county,
as their candidate for Congress, on the
26th ballot. Mr.. Thompson's repu-
tation does not appear to have reached
this county yet, bat we learn from one
Of the Iowa county delegates to the
convention that he is rather good
looking, heaTy-set man, in politics a
''Libcral Republican" and by occupa-
tion a lumber dealer. To our notion,
it looks as though the nomination of
Mr.. Magoon by The Republicans had
caused the Reformers to give up all hope
Of carrying the district,-as we'll it
might-and therefore they were not
very particular to bring out their
strongest man. But still we should be
far from counseling any relaxation of
effort on the part of Republicans; for
while with such candidates ia the field
the victory should be an easy one fer
them, let us remember that it will only
be surely won when the last ballot is
cast on the evening of November Sd.
Up, and on to victory!

Hon. n. s. AagoOas.

This gentleman who is honored with
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress, is well deserving an endorsement
by the Republican voters of the District
Ii is native of the soil, having been
born in La Fayette County. BY the
closest application and untirisg indus
try he has acquired classical educa-
ton; by extensive reading and hard
study he is prepared to deal intelli-
gently with all issues that may come
before him as a Member of Congress.
The endorsement given him atthe polls
in Lafayette county attest the conf
dence and es eem in which he is held
by those to whom he is best known.
On two occasions he has been elected
to positions of henor and trust in La
Eayette coanty by handsome majorities,
'once over so popular man as Judge
Dunp. Without doubt the action of
the convention was e.ninently wise, and
although Iowa county expressed pre-
terence for other men, we are now con-
WINGED that Mr.. Magoon will receive as
cordial support here as any who could
have been nominated.

From the Milwaukee sentinel, Sept. nth,

The stubborn contest for the Repub.
lican nomination in the Third Congress
sional District resulted on the bath
ballot, in the success of Hon. Henry
S. Magoon, of La Fayette County
The choice is an excellent one in all
respects, and one on which the un-
faltering Republicans of the southwest
ern counties will not fail to unite with
great enthusiasm. Mr.. Magoon is
not only popular man, but man of
unquestionable fitness for congression-
al service. He served term In the
State Senate in 1871 and lo72,and was
one of the most prominent and useful
members of that body. His presence
in Congress will be the first instance
In our historyy OF WISCONSIN being rep

ly an honest man, and used no unfair
means to secure his election; but his
money gave him prominence, and that
prominence made him Senator. He
as comparatively poor man now, and
the place which has known him for
years past will not know him any more
when this term expires. His course in
Congress was signalized by one spas
modic attempt at notoriety, but that
was all. Another man of entirely diff.
ferent stamp who has graced the house
Iof Representatives through his COM
Portable state of pecuniosity is the Hon.
Jehn Morrissey. He was very ha rm-
less member, got an "Hon." tackled on
his name, and after one term went
home thoroughly satisfied. Now anoth-
er moneyed aspirant who also wants a
handle to his name, and nothing more,
probably, is the quack DR.. Aver. of
Lowell, Mass. We don't know that it
is any worse to have quack doctor
in Congress than prize-hghter, but
would rather man whom all practi-
TONERS of medicine regard only as a
humbug and who made his money part
ly by deceiving consumptives in their
last days, should be left alone to con-
sole himself with his pills. Still, DR..
Aver is very rich man and may get
what he coyets. Fortunately, those men
who turn into statesmen just for the
fun of the thing generally get enough Of
it in single session, and there are some
committees in which they may be packe
away without much detriment to the
country. MilWaukee Sentinel.

HON. n. S. MAGOON,
What the Press says of our
Nominee for Congress.
From the State Journal, Sept. 18th.

X X X X X X X X X
of Hon, Henry s. Magoon, the ex-
cellent nominee Of the convention, we
will say few words. We have known
him intimately for many years, and
have warm admiration for the man.
The more intimately Mr., Magoon is
known, the better he is liked. In 9th
er words he is on, of those pure-mind-
ed,candid gentlemen who bears aceuain-
tance,and improves 10 ones estimation,
from it.
Henry s. Magoon was born in La
Fayette county, January 3lst, 1882.
lie graduated at the Western Military
College at Drennon, Kentucky,in 1>53,
and from the Law School at Frank fort.
1854. The next year he was appoint
ed Professor of Ancient Languages in
the University ofNashville Tennessee;
IN 1896, he became Professor of Ancient
History,andi Bellies Lettres in the same
institution; and the next year, 1857.
he returned to his native county Of La
Fayette, in this State, where he has
ever since resided, and has been a sue
cessful practitioner at the bar. He is a
ripe scholar, thoroughly read lawyer,
and an accomplished gentleman. AS
a politician, he has always been firm in
his adherence to the interests of the
Republican party, believing it to be
the true party of progress and reform.
In advocating the principles that gov
ern his action, he is able, clear and
convincing in his manner, and gives
conclusive evidence Of a thorough
understanding of the subject upon
which he treats. He is always cool and
deliberate in his actions; never being
carried away by excitement to do a
rash thing. Possessing charac-
ter for integrity above reproach, both as
apubllc and private man; superior
ability; thorough investigator into all
subjects in tho line of his business; a
clear and forcible speaker, an expert
enced legislator, and a gentleman of
pleasing address, Mr.. Magoon will
necessarily take prominent position
among the first men in the next Congress,
should his nomination be ratified by
the people Of his district in November
next; and that such will be the case we
have no doubt. The people of that
district are an intelligent people as a
class; and they will delight to be rep
resented in Congress by one possessing
the elements Of a true man, that are
possessed by Hon, Henry 5. Magoon
lie is popular at home. This was
shown in 1870, when he was elected te
the State Senate over Hon. Charles
Dunn, than confessedly the strongesi
Democrat in the district, by majority
OF about 200! Aud this ia a district
that generally polls from 200 to SOC
democratic majority. Mr.. Magoor
will no doubt make thorough convass
of his district, and as the people become
acquainted with the man, they will rally
enthusiastically to his supports land give
him triumphant election to the Con
gress Of the United States.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Possessed of fine natural abilities, a
broad and thorough culture, unquestion-
ed integrity, and the bearing OF a gen
tleman, MIR. Magoon would honor the
district in Congress; therefore it should
be estimated pleasant duty by the
Republicans to make his election sure
He can be trium phantly elected if the
Republicans will do their duty
aud if they permit his defeat it will be
to their lasting disgrace.

From the Darling Republican.
This issue to the REPUBLICAN bears
good tidings of the great majority Of
the people Of Lafayette county; to-wit
,he nomination of Henry s. Magoon
by the Republicans Of this Congression'
al district for their Representative in
the popular branch of the national leg
islature, We know of no circumstance
in the political world which would
give us more pleasure to chronicle.
The reasons which were given in our
last issue, when we urged his nomi-
natioa. cause our pleasurable feelings
now that he has been selected by the
delegates of the Republican party as
their standard bearer.
We can assure the party and the pee
pie OF the Congressional district thai
their confidence is we'll bestowed. II
elected, Mr. Mssoon will strive to dc
right, looking onl y to the full per.
Torrance Of his duty for the best inter
ests of the people, and to their final
i'm partial judgment for his reward. AL
the interests of the district will receive
scrupulous attention from him, and be
advanced as rapidly as his ability, en-
ergy and skill can promote them.
We are confident that the convention
did the best thing possible for it to dc
under the circumstances in nominating
Mr.. Mag on we make this Statement
in any thing but a disparaging spirit
to the gentlemen whose friends urged
their claims for the nomination. Sc
far as we know or believe they are all
worthy, capable and upright men.
The circumstances in which the con
venton was placed, were peculiar, and
it required discretion to harmonic al
interests. 1t seems to US that discretion
was exercised in placing Mr. Magoon IL
nomination.
Believing our party has a worthy can
didate that the interests of the PEG
pie will be carefully guarded if he il
elected, we enter upon the canvass with
determination to do our duty, assured
that success will attend our efforts
when united with those of our brethren
of the press, and the old stand-bys o
the great Republican party in the dis
| trict.
