appear under such circumstances without
some embarrassment. While he would de.
cline peremptorily to present himself before
tho Convention for the purpose Of advocas-
Tag his claims for nomination; yet he rec
oisnized the right Of any and every member
of the Convention to cate . him relative
to his views on the issues whi,h divide the
great p,rt,es, and on the platform of p,iu-
ciples which the Convention had enunci-
ated. lie had carefully scrutinlzed the
resolutions, and they met with his cordial
approval. He endorsed them heartily, every
word and every letter. 1t had been said
that he was a railroad man. It was true
that he had represented eastern capitalists
in the construction OF the Lake Shore road,
and he was proud Of his connection with
that road. At present he did not own q
dollars worth of stock in any railroad
Herald. l
Col. Krez was next introduced. He
the objec of thus calling out the
candidates was to see whether they could
talk to their constituency He thought he
had the advantage of his competitors, be-
cause he could speak two languages. He
opposed all monopolies. He believed the
people should rule. lie would not favor
any unjust distinctions but believed that all
corporations should he controlled by legIs-
lation. He was free trader from principle.
1t was as wrong tor state to demand Q
protective tariff as it is for man to collar
a traveller and rifle his pockets. He told
story to illustrate the effect of temperance
laws ~ restrictive Of personal liberty, while
they increased the consumption of alcoholic
liquors. In the matter of freedom of action
lie said the southern states might better be
under the rule of the emperor of Russia
than under the government OF the United
States and Its officers, as at present ad-
miristered.
lie then spoke for few minutes in the
German language to those of the delegates
whom it ID supposed he presumed did not
fully understand English; and therein he
had "the advantage Of his competitors"
The 18Th ballot was then taken, giving
Burchard 16, Bragg IL, Villas 9, and
krez 5.
In the 140th ballot one vote went from

The motion TO adjourn to 9 o'clock to-
morning, was again made and lost,
and the l50th ballot was attained without

Mr.. J. Os.holder then substituted Judge
B. Williams to cast his vote for the l,t
senatorial district, and Mr.. Erastus keach
Delegated his colleague Of ID assembly dis
trict, Hon. Julius Wolff, to cast bis vote.
MIR. Sherwin, of Fond du Lac, moved

m. Notion lost.
The 10th ballot, still t. same, being
taken. Mr.. Clifford moved a recess of Is
minutes.
Three mere ballots tax en- with like results,
and Mr.. Clifford moved to adjourn to l
clock in tie afternoon.
Judge Williams got the floor and replied
to Mr.. Clifford that it he could come here
in the afternoon in sober condition to dis
charge his duties as a delegate mas seemly
manner, he would vote for an adjournment.
lie also remarked on tie desirabiGty of
sort of concession on the part of delegates,
in the matter of candidates.
Mr. Clifford thought Mr.. Williams had
made some personal illusions to him in the
FIRST part of his remarks, but he did not
exactly recolect them, and wished he had
taken notes. lie then spoke of the grand
cid democratic party of which he bad al
wavs been member, and reminded Mr.. W.
and the chairman that they had come to
him and not he to them.
Mr.. Delany, of Dodge. said they had
come there instructed to nominate their
candidate. The people of their county
were at their back, and they would sit here
from now to the evening cf election before
they would give it up. He thought there
seemed to be disposition on the part of
some gentlemen to tire the Dodge delega-
tion out.
Motion to adjourn withdrawn, and l74th
ballot taken without change of result.
Judge Williams thought the present con-
testants for the nomir alton ought to retire
mfavor of a new man. He then proceeded
to show that the Lake Shore had a just
right to claim the nomination. Fond du
Lac and Dodge counties had had the men,
Der of Congress for the past twenty five
years. Sheboygan had been in the district
during all these years and had never had a
Congressman. ManH owoc bad not an
equal claim with Sheboygan because it had
only been in the district two or three years.
He called attention to what he termed a
for.utous circumstance, that the counties
of Sheboygnn ..ns Manitowoc bad ptpu-
lation of about Is 900, and had enly sixteen
delegates in this CO mention, that Fond du
Lac, with as large population as Dodge,
only had ten delegates; and that Dodge,
with its population Of Il 900, had only one
less delegate than Sheboygan and Manito-
woe together. He thought Dodge county
ought not to take too much adyant age ol
this circumstance.
Mr.. Delaney replied that the Dodge
County Democrats bad never had but one
representative in Congress. Judge A.
Scott S,oan was Republican at the time
be represented the district 10 Congress
lie thought the Sheboygan county delega
ton had no right to expect anything at the
hands of the convention. They had no candi
date upon whom they were wiling to unile
They apparently voted just as 1t happened
and appeared to represent no septlmt nj
whatever. The people Of Dodge county
stood at the backs of the Dodge county
delegation, demanding with one voice the
| nomination of Mr.. Burchard. They would
| not dare to withdraw his name.
| Mr.. Trusdsll, Of Fond due Lac. spoke
briefly in favor of General Bragg referring
