LUDINGToN DECLINES.

The Republican press OF the State
having quite generally expressed a
sentiment favorable to the re-nomina-
ton of Governor LudingtOn, that gen.
tleman, not being a candidate for
further hOnors in this direction, has
deemed it his duty to decline re-nOm-
ination and publishes card in the
State journal TO that effect. 1t is
thought that Governor Ludington's
withdrawal implies more strict adj
herence to political pledges than actu-
ated Governor Washburn in relation to
the United States Senatorshlp. This
leaves Hon. VIM. z. Smith, of Milwau-
kee. ex-State Treasurer, the most prom
inent Republican aspirant before the
people. and we shall not be surprised
at his by reclamation. Mr..
Smith is well-known throughout the
State as tried and a true man, and
but few men in our commonwealth are
more popular. lie was a candidate
against Washburn six years ago for
the nomination and was defeated only
by the unwarranted interference of
Federal officials under instructions
from the Washington ring of Wiseon-
SIN politicians who desired to get
Washburn out of their way. by making
him Governor. By the intrigues of
office-holders and politicians at Wash
ingtOn, General Washburn gained one
Gubernatorial term. but whatever may
have been his pledges he afterwards
caused that unholy alliance a great
deal of trouble. As President Hayes
has sat down on Federal office-holder' S
undue interference in political affairs,
it is to be hoped that the REPUBLICAN
party of Wisconsin viii in the forth
coming campaign be permitted to Sc
lect ITS own candidates for the various
State offices to be filed at the Novem-
Der election without any reference
whatever to what effect such selection
may have upon the chances CT this OF
that man to get into Congress. in which
case Mr.. Smith VIII receive what
should have been rendered him in 1871 L.
a nomination to the Governorship Of
Wisconsin.

IL accordance with the policy adopt
ed by the President relative to inter
ference in political affairs by Federal
office-holders many of those who are
now partaking of government pap will
be compelled to resign their places as
committeeman or else their positions
in the government service, and as the
latter position is by far the most prof
liable from a pecuniary point of view,
and fully as much honor attaches
thereto, it is not likely that they will
relinqmsh it. The Presidents order
has created widespread consterna-
ton" in Boss Keyes; as himself and
four-lifths Of the Republican State
Central Committee are Federal officials
they dare not call Convention for
fear of losing their offices, and cannot
resign their places on the committee
till convention is held. Who will
call State Convention

PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY.
No. One.
BY A. EARTHMAN.

We had intended to embody in Cir
cular No. 2, just issued to all employed
teachers in the county, some hints IN
regard to Primary Geography. But
after learning that we could have
something covering the ground from
Prof. Earthman for publication, we
omitted them because the articles in
this column reach all the teachers, with
few, if any exceptions. The writer
kindly offers to answer in this column
any questions in regard to the "How''
or "What" to teach. If you find a
point that you do not understand, put
your question upon card, and send ii
to him at River Falls. 1t will be your
own fault if you fail to have method
of beginning geography. Cut out
these articles and put them in your
scrap-book for future use. We hope
teachers Will be free TO make their
difficulties known. ii. 5. b.
One of the fundamental ideas of all
hliONAChSSC 10 NOA
point should be kept in view through
out the entire course. In order to at
tend to this properly, exercises in Di-
rection and Distance must be given
not in a superficial manner. but SO
thoroughly that the child will have a
correct idea of the principal points of
the compass and of the terms used in
measuring, such as inch, foot, rod,
mile.

lish a north and south line, both in

generally known.

THE Federal Oflice-hOlders as a class
appear to favor the decision of the
President that they shall not organize
and run political caucuses and con-
yentiOns or contribute funds for cam
paign purposes, except such contribu-
tions be made voluntarily. We see no
reason why they should not favor the
Presidents course in this regard as il
will save them much expense; besides
it will relieve them of much anxiety,
rs il will be immaterial to them what
man or set of men secure the elective
offices, so long as Hayes is at the
helm.

and w..o has made a very creditable
Senator. has descended from that eX-
