Why Bristow Will Not Do for the
Republican Candidate.

The party lines are drawn almost
as closely this year as in 1860. The
Republican party will demand can
didate whose record in the fierce
struggle of the past will convince the
people beyond all shadow of doubt
that the great cause for which we
have done and suffered so much is in
safe hands. This requirement places
Mr.. Bristow utterly out of the guess
tion-ifhe had ever been in it. A
Southern born man, with dangerously
pleasant relations with the Bourbon
Democracy, with no political record,
and no political experience, there is
no more possibility of his being taken
for Republican leader in this cam
paign than there is of the Roman
Church taking an unknown Protest.
ant for their next Pope.
These are the reasons why Blaine
and Conklin, enemies though they be
would unite against Bristow; and the
same reason will apply to all the real.
ly Republican delegates in the Con-
vention. Mr.. Bristow's support will
be from those who have been enemies
Of the party since l072.-Ci Cincinnati

Weed on Davis and Tilden.

Thurlow Weed, the veteran iourr-
alist and acknowledged to be one of
the most sagacious of men in the
country, attended the New York
"Conference" meeting of Schurz Sc
Co. He was interviewed by N. Y.
Herald reporter, and says that he at
tended, took back seat and listened
to the address which he commends
as admirable, patriotic, sensible and
to the point" Then he proceeds:
But after while, when young Mr.
Adams was called upon and spoke, l
felt it was no place for me, and i re-
tired. l differed with Mr.. Adams
radically on important points. He
animadverted severely upon the
course of Republicans who brought
jeff Davis into the present discussion,
with the intention also of using him in
the campaign. He thinks it Hnwise
to do so. l disagree TO that. |
propose not only now, but all my life,
to utilize JEFF Davis and all men of
his stripe, like Slidell, Mason, Benja.
min and the rest, Senators and Rep
resentatives, and officers of the repub-
lie. In this way l think JEFF Davis
may be made to do some compensa-
ton for the crimes he committed. /
agree with Mr. Adams that it is de.
sirable to bring out now our wisest,
purest and most incorruptible men,
and | am willing to take them wher-
ever they can be found, but do not
agree with him that Mr.. Tilden has
any claim upon us. He did not come
to the front in the hour of his eoun-
try's peril, his voice was not heard in
the time of danger, and when money
was needed for the widows and or
phans Mr.. Tilden's purse was not
open. No vote Of mine shall ever aid
to elect president who was not in
sympathy and publicly known to be a
war man, loyal to the core, ready
with his voice, his influence and his
means to help his country and up
hold her flag. Mr.. Tilden was not
one of those.

Apport1onment Notes and Queries.

The purpose Of this extraordinary
proceeding Is not clear. 1t may
have been intended as a protest
against the new apportionment. 1t
will be remembered that in the en-.
rolled bill the town of Winchester,
in Winnebago county, was omitted
by a clerical error, and some Demo-
Gratis have sought to make it appear
that this omission invalldates the
whole apportionment. On this
point, the opinion Of some of the
best lawyers has been given-and we
may mention among them Hon. A.
Scott Sloan, the Attorney General of
the State-and they agree that the
apportionment is unquestionably
legal and valid, and that it will be
competent for the next Legislature
to correct the trifiing error by sup
Elementary act. Hence this objec-
ton has no force whatever. Mi

The State Register desires to add
The town of Winchester was not in
the enrolled bill, neither was it in
the original bill, or any other bill
that came before the Legislature.
We think the Sentinel is mistaken
10 saying that Attorney General
Sloan holds the law to be legal and
valid We have been informed that
be holds exactly the reverse.
And now these suggestions pre-
sent themselves: If the Legislature
may omit u town, may it not also
omit a county? and if county,
why not several counties? Where
would be the stopping point2 Our
belief is that law that should oper-
ate to distranchise any legal voter
from voting for President down to
a Member of the Assembly would be
void. If the town of Winch hester

Wisconsin Hops for the Centennial.

Mr.. Guido Hansen, one of the old
est hopdealers in the State, has ar
ranged a fine variety of samples of
Wisconsin hops, put up nicely in
cases with glass covers, which have
been sent by Commissioners Meinecke
to the Wisconsin headquarters, Gen.
tennial grounds. Of tue history of
hop growing in the State, Mr.. Hansen
complies as follows for the Milwau-
kee Sentinel.
Probably as early as 1852, expert
ments were made in Wisconsin in
raising hops, but for the first ten
years with little pecuniary success,
and consequently the acreage during
this period increased but very little.
Growers had to battle against preju-
dice in selling their hops, and not
until 1862 did Wisconsin hops find
favor with brewers, except in few IN
stances. In 1862 and 1863. growers
obtained from Is to 20 cents; this
stimulated this branch of farming,
so that in 1864 Wisconsin exported
some 1000 bales, and from that year
to 1868 the hop interest increased
rapidly until the enormous amount
of 100, 900 bales wore raised in 1868,
the bulk of which had to be sold ct q
loss from 100 to cooper cent. on cost
OF production, as growers would not
sell at prices early in the fall OBJ
tainable in New York State, and the
Old World had large surplus.
After this year, 1869 and 20 followed
with prices below cost of production
and many farmers plowed up their
yards, which reduced the production
to from $4,000 to 10000 bales for the
several years up to 1875. In our
opinion, the hop culture is a profita-
BILE and certainly very important
part of farm industry, as over 81 $780,
600 is being alone invested in hop
poles and hop houses in our State.
Below, we give statistical account
of the amount raised and prices OBJ
tainei by growers who sold in the
month of October of each year, for
prime hops. for the twelve years,
from 1864 to 1875, both inclusive:

Young Men and Republican Reform

George william Curtis in Harper's Weekly,
1t seems to as that the young men
who sincerely seek reform should at

a resolution to the same end in the
Republican party, unite with that
party to~secure at Cincinnati result
which will be the guarantee of what
they desire, THE is what the most

ton is turned TO Cincinnati for can
didate who shall represent not mere
ly the force of party machine but
the power of the generous, reforming
and resolute Republican desire of the
country.
The young men Of this election
will not have the hideous crime OF
slavery to deal with, like those of
sixteen and twenty years ago. But
the ardor and high hope of their
youth naturally look to find worthy
cause in politics, and they turn to
the Republican party as the vehicle
by which their desires of giving a
purer and nobler impulse Impractical
politics may be fulfilled. How are
they to act Shall they form reform
clubs ? Shall they declare them
selves wholly independent of parties?
Shall they resolve 10 support, ire
