THE Darlington Ie0,ocrut is for
tunate in having a Madison cores
pondent characteristic of the paper
he scribble. for in utterly disregard
ing truth. In treating of the Repub-
lican State Convention the Demo
crat's correspondent says, among
other things:
Bennett went home on his ear, he svcars
no man from the Third District can disregard
his wishes with mpuni'y, and any man nom
mated by the La Fayetie delegation this
Spring he win beat 800 votes in Iowa county"
That it may be seen how near the
truth the above is we may state in
substance what Bennett did say, to-
wit; THAT while Mr.. CampbelFs
would probably be as strong a name
on the electoral ticket as any other
under corresponding circumstances,
the manner Of is getting there would,
in our opinion, cost the ticket Aun-
dreds Of votes in this Congressional
District"

For purposes that are well under
stood, certain parties assert that had
Col. Clark and Mr.. McNair, of Grant
county done their duty, Judge Mills
would have been nominated by the
Muscoda Convention. Those who
know the constitution Of that Con-
vention know that Mills nomination
was an impossibility. He was sup
ported primarily by only four del
egates, and admitting that as against
Carter he could have got the total
strength of Thomas, as is claimed,
with this added to his four he would
have lacked at least four of a NOM
ination. On the ballot when Mills
received Is votes, it must be UNDER
stood, as appears from the table, that
at least five of them were cast by
delegates who had no intention of
nominating him--who didnot belong
to either the Thomas or Mills
party. The 43d ballot stood, Thomas
6, Carter 10, Wilson 5, Minor 5, Mar
shall 3. On the next ballot, Thomas
had but ., Carter IL, Wilson 4, Minor
4, Marshall none, Mills Is. Mills
gained 8, and Carter but | Thomas
lost i, Wilson 1, Minor |, and Mar
shall B. We know Of o certainty
that the one gained by Carter was
the one lost by Wilson, and it thus
appears that Mills gain was at the
expense OF Thomas, Minor ana Mar
shall. On the succeeding ballot
Mills having but 10, and Cater, Will
son and Thomas gaining each one
and Marshall two, is conclusive evil
dcnce that five of the ifteen who
voted for Mills did so without any
desire to nominate him, and his
nomination was enti,ely out Of the
question. That his own delegation
voted for him on the 45th ballot is
apparent from the fact that but Of
the Thomas men had left him, and
that number added to the original
Mills 4, and | other, Just makes 10.

In giving the sanction of your

clare that the report, To which you

is, that it is hoped to fix upon some
plan to secure Democratic votes for

to get; or to force him off the track
and put on some other Democrat
who is more popular with the peo-
pie. The latter can't be did, as Mr..

show, and it is bound to come off
per announcement"

OK the Judicial question, knight
of the Darlington Umocrat says:

OF the Darlington DUiocrM says:
Mr. Carter is good lawyer an upright citL
zen, and we congratulate the people of the dis.
trict that NOW, in any went they must be
much the gamer. The only objection to Mr..
Carter that will and ought to influence voters
against casting their votes for him. is that he
is the candidate OF n POLITICAL convention
If the only objection to Mr.. Car
ter is that he is the nominee of a po-
litical convention, he certainly ought
to be elected, for according to good
Democratic authority there are far
more weighty objections against his
opponent. Even ii the manner Of
of his candidacy, Mr.. Strong has no
advantage over Mi. Carter, for al
lowing full weight % all objections
urged against the convention system,
is it not preferable to a nomination
of ones self so cary as to forestall
others of the same Etrty who believe
in a different mode

In Hot Pnrsuit.-Thc Robbers
Brought 10 Bay, but Escape
and are StiII Pursued.

Sr. PAUL, MINI, September S.-Four-
teen citizens in pursuit OF the Northtield
robbers overlook them late Thursday
night in n ravine a short distance front
Shieldsville. Shots were exchanged and
one Of the robbers horses killed, but as
the robbers turned TO make fight, and the
citizens, poorly armed, darenot daslinto
them, the robbers, mounting their dis
mounted comrade double, took 10 the
woods, and In a. short time were
again lost sight of. They were last
heard OF at Wateryille Lake at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, going south toward Okla
man. There are about four hundred men
in pursuit Of them, one band OF forty
being less than mn hour behind, and it is
believed will have them before morning.
The tragedy is the all.absorbing topic
OF discussion here to-day, and the gener.
al impression seems to bethat the robbers
are members Of the famous Younger and
james gangs. It isa certain that they
first came t6'thiscity about two weeks ago
over the river road, and that they have
since been in different localities in the
State, giving different names and generally
different (accounts Of tliemselves. In'the
pocket Of oneiof the robbers killed vas
found Howard gold watch, u pocket
mapof Minnesota, pocket compass and
a small amount Of money. In the oocket
OF the other was aWaltham gold watch,
but nothing was found ,on the body Of
either to indicate who they were orwhere
thew were from.
Gov. Pillsbury has offered reward Of
81, 500 for the capture OF the robbers, or
a proportion for each one caught.
