Republican Convention.

The Senatorial Convention for the 39th
Senatorial District, will meet at the Court
House, in Alexandria, Sept. 21st. 1878, at
2 o'clock p. NJ, for the purpose of NOM
mating one Senator. The counties COM
prising said district will be entitled to dele
gates as follows: Douglass II, Pope 6,
Grant 4, Stevens 8, Big Stone /.
Dated August 10, 1878.
By order of Committee,
J. Fl. VANDYKE, Chm.
From the foregoing, we would infer
that the call had been based upon the
vote cast for Governor, instead Of up
on the State ticket. The convention
last Saturday nominated four delegates
to the Senatorial Convention, as they
considered that after the matter had
been properly placed before the con-
vention they would admit them.
Stevens county is really entitled to
four delegates, for the reason that
some OF the votes in the northern part
of this county were cast on the Green
back ticket, thus reducing the vote
from major to minor fraction. We
think, also, that our neighbors at Big
Stone are entitled to two delegates,
and should not be deprived of one vote
ON a mere technicality. They are at
present good deal stronger than
year ago, and the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court, which disorganized
that county, should not be taken ad-
vantage of for the purpose of depriving
them of one delegate. Both Stevens
and Big Stone will poll larger votes
this season, and it wonld be well for
the convention to consider what will
be best for the interest of the whole
district.

Every turn made by the Committee
of Senators, who are investigating the
affairs of the State Insane Asylum,
throws new light upon the manner in
which the business of that institution
has been conducted, and it is, to say
the least, disgraceful to the managers
and to the State. To describe the in
ner workings of that institution would
occupy more time and space than we
can give it, but the manner in which
the business has been conducted is
much after the style in vogue amongst
savings bank officials, and all are ia
milliar with their workings. We need
not say more than that it has been the
custom to pay bills-and then audit
them. Extravaganza naturally fol.
lowed the adoption of such policy,
and it now looks as though insanity
was contagious and that the managers
had been infected with the disease.
Immediate steps should be taken to
confscate every dollars worth of prop
erty owned by these managers, and it
should be held as security to reimburse
the State for any loss. While it can
be readily seen by all that the Senate
Committee have difficult task to con-
troll their tempers, yet it would be
more in keeping with their dignity if
they would restrain themselves, and
while the managers may deserve all
that has been said to them, yet they
are entitled to respectful treatment,
even though not deserving of it.

who was SO successful in drawing large
crowds in California, and who recently

There is no doubt but that the State
Fair at st. Paul, and the Mechanical
and Agricultural Exhibition at Mime
apolis will. weather permitting, be the
greatest efforts ever made in the State.
They will be largely attended, as both
present unusual attractions, and the
distance between the cities will not
prevent any from attending both. We
in the rural districts will be glad to be
able to see both exhibitions, as there
will be plenty of time and facilities for
seeing the attractions at both places,
and not consume more time than usual
ly devoted when there was only the
one place to visit. Competition and
rivalry will have the effect of making
both exhibitions far above the average
of previous efforts in this line.
