A CORRESPONDENT of the Milwau-

a CphBESPONDENT Oh Tue MlIWdu-
kee Neus writing from Grand Rapids.
very pertinently suggests to the Dem
ocracy that that section of the State
lying north of the centre Of the State
has been ignored, yea, snubbed, in the
selection of candidates to State posi-
tons, as well as in other directions,
and claims the Governership as a right.
We second the sentiment of the cor
respondent, only we draw the bow the
other way upon the political fiddle, and
demand the nomination Of sterling
Republican and the section referred
to has host of good men from whom
we can choose candidate as readily
as correspondent has done from the
Democratic ranks. We quote from
the article in the Ne,cs:
There is Wilson, of Chippewa,
Marston, of Eau Claire, Judge Gilbert
L. Park, of Portage county, Judge
Cate, Lew Powers, of Wood county,
Senator Silverthorn, of Marathon,
Myron Reed, of Waupaca, Col. SAM
Ryan, Of Outagamie, Senator Hudd,
of Brown, Naber Of Shawano, and in
deed, so many gentlemen of first-class
qualifications that [ will not attempt
to enumerate them.
What we want Is for you Democrats
down there TO look at rs just once.
Then you will see what we are worth
Give US hint that you will give us
fair show, and we win pick our man,
and he shall be good one. But don't
until you study your own interests
more carefully than you did last fall,
insist on a Milwaukee or Madison or
southern candidate
CENTRAL WISCONSIN.
We raise only political objections to
any of the above names, save those of
Judge Cate and L. P. Powers. We
must protest against Central Wiscon-
sin" who signs the article alluded to,
assuming that honest honorable Demo
Gratis will support any such men as
Judge Cate and j.. 7. Powers. We
hope Central Wisconsin" will not
insist upon democrats supporting any
such men in convention or before the
pcop!s. They smell too bad. The
political atmosphere that surrounds
them is too thick, which makes Gen.
trail Wisconsin s. assumption altogeth-
er ''too thin" a. @
Hon. Matt. Wadleigh, who is nom
mated as Central Wisconsin," first
choice would be wholly acceptable to the
Democracy in the northern part of the
state and we concede his popularity
and capacity for the position
But now, let us look at the othe
side of the canuass This section hai
