Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1877-10-03


Cal. Spensley, in neat speech
informed the convention, and es.
pecially the delegates from Richland
county, that, knowing Mr. Campbell
he could with confidence give them
assurance that they would never
have occasion to regret their action
in placing him in nomination.
j. II Waggoner, of Richland, ex-
pressing what he believed to be the
sentiment Of the Republicans of his
county, implicitly believed from evil
dence presented, that the nominee
was everywise deserving of the dis
tinction accorded him by the con-
yention, and felt that he could safely
pledge the Republicans of his coun-
ty to endorse the nomination with
u handsome majority at the polls.
J. II. Waggoner was elected chair
man Of a Senatorial committee of
five, the other members, appointed
by the chair, being W. A. Jones and
). p. Smoker, of Iowa, and W. NJ.
Fogo and L. NJ. Thorpe, Of Richland.
On motion it was unanimously
voted that the next Senatorial con
vention shall be composed the same
as the present one = two delegates
from each county at large, and five
from each Assembly district.

STA may be able to give ali unexpected
defense of her haste, but our own
Government, at least, does not intend
the protocol to have the character of
an ultimatum. Russia cannot be sur
prised, indeed, if the recent negotiation
should expose her to severe charges.
She must expect it to be said that she
wished to pass the time until the road
toward the Danube should be fit for
the passage of her artillery, and that
she drew up the protocol not to secure
peace but to obtain from the united
Powers such condemnation of Turkey
as would make a declaration of war
seem inevitable. We bring nc such
charges against Russia, but the Powers
will! have reason to complain if, now
that they have put their seals to the
protocol, Russia should refuse to
smooth the way toward peace. She

any decisive action until the Powers
shall again appeal to the Porte, and she
may be invited to consider whether

The Louisiana Commission, in a dis

Legislature to determine the pending
questions, but this being rejected by
the Nichols party, Packard's party

as under the present circumstances he
would not be justified in making a de-

The second day they captured the posi-

The change has come through the ac-

Hardly had the document been signed
when Russia showed a disposition to
make from it the materials OF an ulti-
matum, and the Porte was informed
that it would be expected to decide by
to- morrow whether it would or would
not accept the protocol and send an

THE X GUN.

Our foreign advices bring intelli-
geuce of the firing of the first gun OF
the European war;. If this news be
correct, two considerable engagements
Lave already transpired. In the first
the Turks were beaten, but rallied and
achieved a signal victory in the second.
The alleged hostilities opened near
Scutari, a fortified town of about $4,000
inhabitants, in European Turkey. But
few particulars are given, except those
stated above, and the further fact that
more or less fighting has been going
On for several days. There seems no
longer a hope Of the satisfactory adj
justment OF the points at issue between
the Powers. The London Times vir-
tualiy comedies that the last effort has
been exhausted in tho interest of
peace, and that an appeal to the
arbitrament Of arms is now in order.
Coming closer home, General Sher-
man has informed an interviewer that
in his Judgment the impending war is
to be the greatest known to history,
involving grander battles and a greater
destruction Of human life than the
world has ever before witnessed. All
that region embraced within the States
of Bosnia, Montenegro and Herzego-
vina. bordering on the Adriatic, prom
ises to be the theater of stirring events
In the immediate future; events of
such grave importance as to inspire
general interest and attract uni
versal attention. The skirmish just
begun may be the means of precipi-
tating the mightiest conflict of modern
times almost before we know it..
