The absurd attempts Of the Gazette to weaken
the confidence and respect with which the people
regard Lewis Thompson beirsy its fear of his
popularity, should the Republicans nominate him
Tor Governor. This uneasiness Is general among
Democrats."- Commercial
The popularity OF the Commercials candidate
is confined to the wind-bag that is aoated out up
the street every evening, The GAZETTE feared a
too sudden collapse probed it gently, and there

Unfortunate Chicago.

Chicago has again suffered from great fire.
The loss this time is said to be immense; but
does not come near that of the fire of 1871. The
lowest estimate of the less by the fire Of yester-
day Is s6, 100000. The fire is said to have orei-
mated in the house Of two Polish Jews, who aim
cd at securing insurance.
The paid FIRE department system operates dis
nstrously, and we hope the Wilmington people
will consider this matter in September.

THE STATE ASSESSMENTS.
Table of the EquaIized Valuation of

Table of the EquaIized Valuation of
Property, Personal and Real.
From the Madison Journal.
The State Board of Assessment, con-
sisting of Peter Doyle, Secretary of
State; Hon. Ferd Kuehn, State Treas
urer, and Hon. A. Scott Sloan, Attor-
ney General, have completed the task
of equalizIng the valuation of the
property of the several counties of the
State, on which they have been en-.
gagged for some time. LIZ seeking to
make such an assessment as should be
just to all portions of the State, they
have availed themselves of all the
data procurable in regard to the value
of property IN the several coun-
ties, including the valuation OF
all property as assessed and
equal1zed in the several coun-
ties of the state, and reported
by the county clerks the values given
i'll the report of the United States
census, which, of course, could be Of
little service as guide in the newer
and more rapidly settling counties Of
the State; returns as to the amount of
improved and unimproved land in the
several counties; the assessments
made by former State Boards of As
sessment, and the reports made by the
Registers of Deeds of several counties,
OF the actual sales of real estate during
the past year, with the price per acre
or lot
No arbitrary classification of couu
ties was attempted, but it was endeav-
ored to fix a fair valuation for each.
The valuation In nearly every county
was increased. In Clark county, it
was slightly diminished. In some
counties it appeared that the assessors
had valued property, especially in
cities and villages, higher than the
average price of actual sales during
the past year. The aggregate assess
ment has been increased about
$50, 600, 900, to 1921, 900, 900. The in
crease is mainly on real estate; some
IS, DOC, 600 on personal property. The
lowest valuation of farming lands per
acre is trihe less than So the high
est, s43, in Milwaukee. The lowest
aggregate valuation of real aud per-
sonal property is 1899, 169, in Burnett
county; the highest is $50, $50. 565, in
Milwaukee county, of which it will be
seen S37, 024, 1877 is real estate
