THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Opening of the School Year of 1870-80-
The Attendance.

Opening of the School Year of 1870-8O-
The Attendance.
The schools we're the scene of great activity
and prodigious work, yesterday. The school
year began after the vacation with all the usual
hustle, some confusion, and no little work.
The opening was suspicious, the weather be-
ing altogether suitable, the teachers all present
to resume labor, and the children in great
numbers sought admission.
On the whole, however, the applicants for
admission were not oorrespondingly as numer-
GUS as on first day last year. The class of APP
plicants, too, differ somewhat. any way as to
numbers, from those Of former years. In most
all tho schools the lower, second and third
grades had an unusually large proportion seek
ing admission. while the higher grades were
good at the Madison, Jefferson. Linboln, Rice
and Adams schools, from all OF which Superin-
tendent Wright received reports last night. In
the Rice school the lower grades are full, while
the higher grades have fewer applicants than
last year. The total number of pupils matri-
culated yesterday was IS.
The greatest number entered in any one
school is reported from the Washington, there
having been 245 applicants yesterday. The
building, containing six rooms, is hardly ade-
quate 10 the demand made upon tho facilities
offered. The Adams school had the least num-
Der OF 8ppuCanC6 Tor 00mlS6lOn. In view OF
the excess at the Washington school and the
few seeking admission at the Adams, the school
boundaries of these two school precincts will be
changed, so that the Washington can unload
into the Adams.
The High school had ite quota of applicants.
Perhaps not as many as usual on the first day,
but the indications are this, as we'll as all the
schools, will be taxed to their utmost capacity
before the week has ended.
Little was done further than to arrange the
classes, and classify the new SCHOLARS. To this
end Prof. Wright was engaged all day in
examining applicants for admission to the
high school, besides arranging other matters
pertaining to admission. Under this latter
head, many who are not actual residents, yet
having claims, made application, and had their
cases taken under advisement.
No children are admitted to any of the public
schools unless vaccinated-6fteen were rejected
at the Rice school yesterday because not vac
cinated. Parents would do we'll to bear this in
mind and attend to it.
Taken altogether, the prospects for the new
school year are encouraging. An able corps of
teachers have control, and If seconded by
parents the children of our city will be bene-
flied and the schools be made to subserve the
purpose for which established.

The convention was the most disorderly ever

party, as it would have been to any party. No
one is satisfied with the ticket as whole, and
1t is generally conceded to be tho weakest and
least merltorious ticket ever nominated by the
Republicans of Minnesota.

MADISON, Wis.,, Sept. 8.-The State Democrat
ic convention, which meets here tomorrow
noon, will be very largely attended. The no.
tells are crowded tonight and caucuses are be-
ing held at the various headquarters. The
managers of the Mitchell boom are positive
their candidate will stand, but such mon as
Charley Robinson of Green Bay assert that un-
der no circumstance will Mitchell, who ia in
Europe. accept tho nomination. 1t remains to
be seen, when the convention meets, which
sertion will gain credence. The Mitchell slate
makers, who appear to be in the ascendant, are
determined on the following State ticket: For
Governor, Alexander Mitchell of Milwaukee;
lieutenant governor, William F. Villas, of Dane;
treasurer, Conrad Kre2, of Sheboygan; attorney
general. j. NJ. Smith of Mineral Point; super
intendent of public instruction, j. @. VIM, of
Racine. IT Mitchell doesn't get the nomination
the contest will probably lie between Villas, of
Dane, Bouck, of Winnebago, and Cote, of Ste
vens Point, with material change in the
balance of the ticket.

are to the effect that Andrew Huben. of VIM

Jas. Murphy, Of Marquette, is contestipg the

perintendency of public instruction it is now
thought McMlnn is out of the field, and either
Edward Soaring, of Rock, or w. 8. Parker of
River Falls, will be nominated. The delegates
will all be here by lOA. NJ, and everything will
probably be fixed up before noon so that the
convention may be short and harmonious.
Mitchell is undoubtedly the coming man,
