THE Indiana Republicans want the
National Convention held at Cincinnati,
OF, if that can't be, at Chicago. The
clamor from Cleveland is louder every
day. They promise to put mp bran
new building for the convention if the
committee will only decide to come

THE New London Times contains this
information eek Congressman Sawyer
has Just returned from Washington,
where, no doubt, he has been TO gel
Kimball started on the right track. He
reports that the prospects for the North
west are not very encouraging at the
present. The Southern members are
looking after their own particular inter
ests Just now, and have no time to look
after any other portion of the Union. F"
THE convicts in the Ohio State Prison
believe in making hay while the sun
shines. While serving out their terms
for burglary two of the convicts have
been industriously counterfeiting nick
els, and it is limited that others, more
ambitions, have been trying their hands
at greenbacks. The bogus manufacturers
have been detected and placed in dun
geon, where they Will have plenty of
opportunity for reflection, but very lit
tie chance to increase their worldly
wealth. The makers of greenbacks, if
there are any such, have not yet been
detected.
LA. CROSSE Republican and Leader :
Mayor Ludington has done SO exceed
ingly well as chief of the Milwaukee
city administration that the people look
forward with lively satisfaction to his
taking up of the administrative reins of
the Executive office of the State. He
has been power for good as mayor,
III In no
in the same direction as governor. He
has the good wishes and confidence OF
all the people, who wish him well, and
trust to him for relief from the scandals
which we have heard so much of in the
Executive Office the past two years.
THE Portage Register Mr.. Speaker
Kerr appointed Judge Cate, or this
state, as a member of the committee on
the District of Columbia, committee
that has charge of the public grounds
and improvements of the national capt

eternal fitness of things" our Wisconsin
congressman-a bogus one at that's
appointed to decide what improvements
shall be made in the public grounds OF
the capital of the first nation of the
earth. Gosh
TIE Washington Chronicle, speak
ing evidently by authority, says IT
has been asserted that Mr.. Blaine fled
to the cloak-room when the vote was
called on Mr.. Springer's third-tern
resolution. He did no such thing.
He sat in his seat, looked the
Clerk in the eye as his name was
called, and refused to answer. The
ex-Speaker's dignity in thus rebukine
by his silence the silly attempt to make
political capital might well be initiated
hy other presidential aspirants. The
White House cannot be captured by
trucking, and Mr.. Blaine's position as
party leader cannot be affected by such
stupid means as third-term resoiu

A RUMoR is current, aud is generally
credited, to the effect that Morrison, O.
Illinois, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, will be elected
Speaker pro tenn of the House, the healtl
OF Speaker Kerr being such that he ha.
