The Wisconsin democratic state con-
vention met in Milwaukee on last We'd
nesday. Hon. Moses NJ. Strong, Theo-
dore Rudolph, James R. Doolittle, Geo.
B. Smith and Alex. Mitchell were chosen
delegates-atIarge to the national con-
vcntion. Of the twenty delegates from
the state, seventeen are for Tilden and
three uncommitted. A resolution in
structing the delegation to vote as a unit
was indefinitely postponed after a warm
contest. When the time came for the
committee on.resolutions to report, a
motion was made and adopted to adjourn
sine de, otherwise there would have
been two reports submitted, the majority
reported being silent on the currency
question and the minority report being
for soft money,

FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.

It is an old adage that n must 60
away from home to learn the news.
This was exempliied, when on u
recent trip TO Jefferson City we found
that the name Of one of our fellow-cit-
liens, Mr.. Arnold 7. Winsor, of Wa
verify, was being prominently spoken of
by gentlemen from different portions of
the state for railroad commissioner. We
have rather favored the reelection of
the old board, but since Mr.. McIlhaney,
of Audrain, has withdrawn from the
race, we hope that the convention will
select Mr.. Winsor as one of the COM
missioners. He is a gentleman of first
rate business qualifications, well known
throughout the state, conversant, from
his long mercantile and shipping bust
ness, with freight and transportation
matters. Though still in the prime of
manhood, a man of matured years,
experience, energy and frmness; a
man who In the discharge of his duties
will not be wheedled or coaxed into for
getting the interests of the state, while
his zeal will not carry him into any
prosecutions of the roads. He is a man
of ~unfinching personal integrity. who
has made many pecuniary sacrifices to
maintain his good name. Coming from
Maryland in 1910. he has been a citizen
of this county for 36 years. He was a
delegate to the last national democratic
convention which met at Chicago, and
Middleton township, where he resides,
always sends him as a delegate to our
county conventions, thereby showing
the estimation in which he is held by
his neighbors. He is an educated prac-
teal engineer, which portion of his
training will be of great benefit to the
state. as he is competent to make al
sorts, of estimates on work for himself
without the Intervention of clerk or dep
uty. Lafayette, one of the stronges
democratic counties in the state. has TO
years been overlooked in the distribu
ton of state offices, and even the Other
day, when the Eleventh, the banne
democratic district in the state, aske,
the convention for a delegate at iarg
to the national convention, it was no
granted. We hope that this neglec
will be remedied, and that Mr.. WinsoI
will receive u hearty support in tn
coming state convention. Several pa
pers have already spoken favorably Q
his name.

to buy were issued in conformity to law or not.
You. sir. would not buy = town lot in the small

title examined in the county where the lot is
situated. and yet you would buy a half million
OF bonds on what they show on their face. AS
well might you buy u million acres OF land on
