STATE SENA TOR.

The call being promulgated for a
convention to nominate O Republi-
can candidate for State Senator, for
the district embracing the counties
of Iowa and Richand, word on
the subject is in order. On the
principle of rotation, it is generally
and properly conceded that the
nominee should be selected from
Richland if that county can present
worthy and available candidate
with any degree of harmony.
Thus an important duty devolves
upon our friends across the river;
and they owe it to themselves and
the party to consider carefully the
situation +; and to weigh impartially
the merits and strength of the man
or men whom they present to the
convention. First, the candidate
must be man OF personal character
above reproach second, he must be
a Republican of undoubted fealty !;
hlrd, he must be free from any past
political action that will justify a
doubt that he may under any cir
cumstance disregard the wishes of
his constituents, or pledges made to
them fourth, he must be able to
command at least the full strength
of his party at home, and be unob-
jectionable to any portion of the
party in this county.
Richland has men who possess all
these requisites let one of them be
selected, and there need be no fear
of the result though the district is
"close," and the opposition is hope
ful, aud promises to be active.

well said, they felt that nothing re-
NAMED for them bat to join in ex
tending the right la of fellowship
to one whose signal abilities, etc.
The occasion of all this oratorical
taffy incased the edibles and sur
rounded the Roederer with a hearth
ness that did the souls of his enter
tainers good, and when the toast of
the evening, "Our distinguished
guest" was drunk, he steadied him
self by placing one hand on theWeb-
strrian forehead of Superintendent
Dodge and the other on Senator
Shaon's virgin dome of thought, and
responded as follows
"Gentlemep-my dear boys: Ireally
am er-knocked endways by this
way up blowout You do me proud.
I've-er- hearn tell that you Califor-
MIA fellows treated Booth and Jetfer-
son and them big bugs of their per-

But before 1.-THE Great Senegam-
bian Juggler" could consummate his
frugal intentions, he felt like one
who trod alone banquet hall desert
ed. His guests had quietly but
firmly lit ont, and as we go to press
the miserable committee, who had
captured the wrong Chandler, are
still hiding in the foot hills till the
thing blows over.

THE Madison Democrat is trying
hard to injure the present Attorney
General of the State. General Will
son, in view Of the excellent record
he has made in the office he holds,
is in no danger of being harmed by
the dirty references OF that sheet to
him. The business OF the Attorney
Generals office during the present
term has been attended to with I'M
usual promp.ness and ability; and
without extra expense for the en-
ploymept of outside attorneys. There
has been no neglect Ia this office,
and all doing business with it have
been highly pleased with its man
agement. General Wilson is a quiet
man, an excellent lawyer, and a per-
feet gentleman. He attends closely
to his business, does it well, and
makes but little noise about it. He
is a frst-class officer, and will be re-
elected by large majority.--State

THERE is nothing upon which So
ciety at large so much dotes as
frst-class scandal in high life. There
is no explanation satisfactory if it
robs the act of single vulgar assoc
citation. The depraved instincts of
this refined and civilized age are in
no way marked more positively than
in the quick grasping at gossip
which draws virtue from some high
pedestal and tumbles it into the
sewer. This has been particularly
demonstrated in the Sprague-Conk-
ling misfortune. Great editors have
thought it necessary to air the
soundness of their morality as pub.
lie teachers by inventing theories and
making sentiments, wholly pervert-
ing the truth in their efforts to pam
der to depraved taste. These
great editors have every dav i'm
