THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican Convention of Mon
day, nominated w. A. Walker for SUI
perintendent of Schools and E. G. Nash
for Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Mr.. Walker has held the off e of
County Superintendent for the last two
years and his unopposed nomination by
both parties is an Endorsement by the
people which must be highly gratifying
to him.
Mr.. E. G. Nash is young man of
considerable promise and undoubted
ability, and one to whom the duties of
the Office to which he aspires may with
safety be entrusted. He is by profess
sion lawyer, having been admitted at
the last session of the circuit court
We can recommend him to Republicans
as a Ian worthy of their support.
In the first assembly district, Mr..
Chas. Boettcher is the Republican NOM
inee for the legislature. Mr.. B@ttcher
is resident of the town of Liberty and
man who stands high in the estima-
ton of his neighbors. The first district
would be well represented by him.
Mr.. A. D. Jones received the nonnin-
alton for the assembly in the third dis
trict. Mr.. Jones is so well known in
the district that he needs neither intro
duction nor words of commentator
from us. His candidacy will undoubt-
edly add strength to the ticket.
In the second assembly district the
Republicans did not choose to nominate
against Mr.. Nash, his nomination being
quite acceptable to them.
This is the ticket which the Republi-
can party. by its representatives submits
to the voters of this county for approval.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
there is large, though not hopeless
majority to overcome, that the enemy
have the coigne of vantage. But good
ticket actively supported appeals strong
ly to citizens who desire an Intelligent
administration of public affairs. The
convention has done its duty and pre-
scented names which will command the
respect, if not the votes Of the people of
the county. It is for the Republicans
of the county now to see ''what re-
enforcement they may gain from hope,
if none, what resolution from despair. %

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic Convention which
urday consisted of 70 delegates. Maple
Grove with her usual prodigality offered
the convention a choice of two sets of
delegates. There are people with whom
politics are a ruling passion, people who
pant for conventions as the heart pants
for the running brook, people who snuff
conventions as the. war-horse does the
battle from affair off, but the desire of
the ordinary Maple Grove politician to
represent his town in a Democratic
Convention has no likeness in the heav-
ems above, lii the earth below or in the
waters under the earth.
Mr.. Walker received the unanimous
vote of the conven lion for County SUI
perintendent, the convention dispensing
with the formality of ballot. In re-
Spouse to calls for a "speech" Mr..
Walker said in substance
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the Conven-
ton: thank you for the honor you have con-
ferred On me by second nomination for the
office of County Superintendent of Schools
Two years ago when I sought the nomination
at your hands, had serious doubts whether I
could discharge the duties of the office to your
satisfaction, this nomination assures me that
my efforts have received your approval What
ever success have had attribute largely to
having performed the work as nearly after the
manner of my predecessor as possible. During
the next two years, if elected, can bring to
my aid the experience of the last two, and rest
assured shall endeavor to deserve the conf
dence you have reposed in me.
For the Office of Clerk of the Court,
four names were presented, and it was
quite evident from the intense though
subdued excitement which prevailed
during the balloting that all the dele
gates were selected with reference to
this Office. On the seventh ballot Mr..
Folge received 43 votes and was declar-
ed the nominee of the convention.
The nominations of the Assembly
Districts were as follows: First dis
trict, Thomas Thornton third district,
Henry Wits; second district, WE. Nash.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

ED. TRIBUNE Our long dreary rain
is over, and linked with its sombre
clouds, its splashing and dripping is
the memory of our county fair, which
had it not been for the storm, would
have been something to be proud of.
One that would have compared favorably
with muny fairs in older and richer
counties than ours. But mingled with
our disappointment, is a feeling of
strength and victory. For now we know
that our fair can be run by water, if
necessary. And just here would like
to 'srise and explain" that Tin spite of
the weather. we did have something
beside STAT pigs and big squashes. If
Mr.. l., had only been here he might
have seen as beautiful specimens of
needle work, house plants, etc., as could
be found at the average State Fairs
Rev. j. M. Wernert exhibited picture
on canvas, and Messrs. Hubbard & Noble,
articles of manufacture, worthy of ex-
hibition at any worlds exhibition. Now,
shall we have little friendly talk about
the location of our fair. If it were held
in Manitowoc it would only be more
convenient for those living in the city,
aud for adjoining farmers, but very in
convenient for majority of the farmers
in the county, Would it not be easier
for the ladies of Manitowoc to move
their fancy work and works of art, and
for manufacturers and hardware mer-
chants to move their articles than for
farmers to move vegetables and live
stock2 There wonld certainly be less
risk of injury. If pleasure is to be re-
garded, can it be as pleasant for farm
ers to attend fair in the city, where
their business has called them so often,
as it is for people in town to escape the
turmoil and dust, and breathe the pure
country air fer few days knowing at
the same time that in no other way can
they cheer and encourage the farmer
in his progressive efforts, than by COM
ing out and meeting him in natures wide
domain? Do not be afraid you will lack
Accommodations. If we have not hotels
enough we have private homes whose
doors will be open wide. Why, we
could make room for the whole county
if we should try. Do not complain of
the road but come in your carriages, you
will need them on the ground even if
we had the fair in Manitowoc, and it is
only a pleasant ride out to Clark's
Mills. Surely no one who prefers trip
on the cars would stay away from fair
because he must ride in an open wagon
three or four miles from the station,
through beautiful farming country
Let us remember that sin union there
is strength and shun the fate of
.shouse divided against itself" Remem-
Der, friends, that the same quilting to-
gether" the same earnest work which
you require to get the fair in your city,
if added to what has already been done
at Clark s Mills, would bring about
results more satisfactory to the county
at large, yourselves included. Try it
once. Com.

THE extraordinary appetite and ca
pacious NAV of the average tramp are
proverbial. But the gastronomic feat
credited to one who recently effected an
entrance to the kitchen of leading ho-
tel of this city, almost passpes belief. AS
related to US, the morning meal was wal
ting the appearance of guests whose
slumbers are most profound when land
lords wish them lightest. The prophet
or on going his usual rounds of inspec-
ton saw dilapidated coat tail whisk
through the kitchen door. A subse'
quent examination showed that with that
coat-tan disappeared meal for eighteen
as hearty eaters as ever picked bone,
slowed away beyond the reach of search
warrants or the guiles of savings banks
managers.

Mr.. JOHN LANDRETH, during the past
week, has shipped over 5000 bushels of
peas, loading thirteen cars. Part of
these the dwarf varieties and select seed,
were grown by Mr.. Landreth, the bal
ance, and coarser kinds, by some fifty
farmers who were furnished with the
seed in the spring-one variety each,
and contracts made for the product
The greatest care is taken in keeping
them pure and free from admixture.
The quality and yield this season are
above the average. Eight bushels in
the hands of one farmer yielded one
hundred and ninety-two bushels. Five
in the hands of another yielded ninety
nine and many others nearly as good
The shipment embraced a dozen stand
ard, and tried varieties, and are part
only of the yearly supply of the immense
seed house of D. Landreth & Sons, of
Philadelphia.

ED. TRIBUNE The veteran Journal
list, author and statesman and compiler
of the charter of Two Rivers, ''lays
himself out" this week on the Repubh-
can nominee for Clerk of the Court
He is obliged to admit that the nominee
is good penman, gets up neat paper,
has served about three years apprentice
ship in lawyers Office, has been admit
ted to the bar and is in every way, quail
fled for the position, bit says he is
young and therefore incompetent. He
was not born before his brother, there
fore unqualified.
We are disposed to give Ed. hearty
support for u good many reasons
Among them, be is well qualified, was
Republican while living in a Republi-
can county, and is a Republican while
living in Democratic county. All of
the Nash family were originally Re-
publicans, and their conversion to De-
mocracy is remarkably recent.
The Democratic candidate for Clerk
of the Court. was few years ago g very
ardent Republican, radical enough to
have been the editor of an Independent
newspaper. He was connected with
several lodges in this city-being offered
the editorship of a Catholic newspaper,
he withdrew from all the lodges, re-
nounced his religion and joined the
Catholic church. The paper being dis
continued in few months and Mr.. Falge
thus thrown out of employment, he
again changed his religion and withdrew
from the Catholic church.
The only Office he has ever held to
our knowledge is town clerk of the town
of Manitowoc, and it is currently re-
ported that there was considerable diff
Guilty at the close of his term in getting
the books of the town IN proper shape.
Now, Nash, in all seriousness, which
one would you say is best qualified to
take charge of the judicial records of
the county2 *
