1SSo2l1bLU Nominations.

The Republican Convention held at
Lake Mills Saturday nominated Hon
John d. Bullock, of Pennington, for
member Of Assembly for the Second AS
sembly District of Jefferson County. Mr.
Bullock is the present Assemblyman from
the district and during the two terms he
has served in the legislature has acquitted
himself in such manner as to receive
the warm approval of the people of his
district for the energy, ability and indus
try he has displayed in behalf of their in
terests. We believe he can beat the best
man the democrats can place in the field
against him.
The town of Emmett, has already
produced two candidates for men,
Der of assembly for the second Assembly
District of Dodge County and the returns
are not all in yet. John Howard bears
aloft the Greenback banner for the posi-
ton. Saturday last the democratic con-
vention held at Clyman nominated Will
liam Fleming for Assemblyman, but the
action did not leave very placid waters
in its wake. 1t was thought by the as
pirants in the district that Mr.
Jennings term in the Legislature last
winter ought to satisfy his ambition and
now he was called upon to step down and
out to make room for some other man.
But Mr.. Fleming fought the ground for a
denomination inch by inch and secured
the prize by majority of one. Before
the convention adjourned Mr.. Schienwet-
ter, of Lowell, his principal competitor
declared himself to the delegates present
as an Independent candidate. This an
nouncement makes fun ahead in the
Second District of Dodge.

HE position taken hY Mr.. Jenkins Last

The position taken by Mr. Jenkins last
night in favor of Civil Service Reform. in
which he announced himselfto be unal-
terably opposed to the system of chang
ing office holders for political reasons fill
ed with complete dismay the several can
didates for the Watertown Post Office
scattered among the audience as was de-
picted in the look of anguish and morti-
fication their countenances bore. Had
buckets of cold water been thrown on
their diminished heads their patriotic ar
dor and zeal in seeking after the spoils
could not have been more effectually
dampened.

"FELLoW citizens, be bound to no par
ty,'' said Mr. Jenkins in his speech at
Turner Hall last night. This is contrary
to the advice so often given to the faith
full by the mouthpiece here to "vote for
democrats because they are democrats, !"
not waiting to inquire as to the honesty
or the qualification of the candidates.

abridged Dictionary, just issued, is the
"New Biographical Dictionary" compris-
ing about 10000 names Of ancient and
modern persons Of renown, including
many now living. 1t gives us the pro-
nunciation Of these names, the nation
ality, profession or occupation, date of
birth, and if known, the date of death of
each person. From it's conciseness and
accuracy it supplies a want long felt in
this direction, and adds very greatly to
the value Of this always valuable work.

Mr.. JENKINS evidently had Mayor
Black, of Milwaukee, in his mind when
he spoke at Turner Hall last night 50
emphatic against the principle of ousting
one set Of officers and appointing another
with no other motive in view than that
of Furnishing party enemies and reward
ing party friends. Perhaps Jim White,
Controller of Milwaukee, who was pre-
sent, can tell whether John Black was
meant or not. Jim could hardly endorse
this part Of Mr.. Jenkins speech. The
fact is Mr. jenkins is away behind the

Governor. He don't seem to be in &C

Rock county is fast gaining an unen-
viable notoriety for atrocious murders
Three cold blooded butcheries have been
perpetrated in that county within the
past fifteen months. The last bloody
scene was enacted last Saturday evening
at Milton through which Edward Fogarty
one-legged tinware peddler lost his life
at the hands Of Henry Christensen, a
paramour of Fogarty's wife. Christensen
after his arrest made confession of the
murder as follows
'Fogarty came home, Saturday night,
between nine and ten o'clock. We took
several drinks of alcohol and water. We
quarreled about some money he owed
me. / struck him, and knocked him
down. He drew revolver. | kicked it
out of his hand, and knocked him down
again, and pushed him out doors. | then
picked up the Ak and struck him in the
head twice, killing him. | then took the
body and carried it to the stacks, and
covering him with hay, set fire to the
stacks. His wife, it appears, was asleep
and knew nothing about the murder
Christensen is Hollander and painter
by trade, and spent his time at Fogarty' s
house with the woman.

M3's. j. L. DudLey'S AddreSS.

The Unitarian Church was packed to
its utmost capacity, last evening, with
listeners to Mrs. Dudley's address on
'The Development of Character in Wo-
man." and it is believed that more peo-
pie went away unable, on account Of the
crowd, to gain entrance to the church
than the number who were able to secure
seats and standing room. Mrs. Dudley
is well known as a gifted writer, and her
style Of delivery is in good keeping with
her natural ability and fine attachments.
She is not powerful in her voice, but her
enunciation is so clear and distinct, and
her general oratorical powers are of such
high order, that not word Of her address
was lost to the crowded audience. Her sub
.ject was treated for at great length, and
we are not prepared to give synopsis,
but the interest of the subject was 50 we'll
kept up that the speaker secured the
most profound attention throughout it's
delivery, and there was no indication of
WEAKNESS, to the end. Among all the
fine production to which we have listen
ed during the sessions of the Congress of
Women just closed, we have heard no
paper which was more ably conceived,
more beautifully expressed, nor more
happily delivered, than was this by Mrs.
J. L. Dudley. 1t was most appropriate
and satisfactory compliment to the pro-
ceedings of that body, and we are sure it
was listened to by the large audience in
attendance with unexceptionable pleas
ure and profit. -Madison Journal, Oct

without avail. Having seen ST. Jacobs

it according to direction. The relief /
