SAN FRANCISCO, jan. Is, 1870
he following are the official closing quotations Of
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1879-03-19

The Democrats have been claim
ing that the act to repeal the cleo
ton law attached to an appropria-
ton bill is perfectly Legitimate, for
the reason that it was enacted ON
such bill. This proposition, how
ever, is promptly demolished by
Commissioner John l. Davenport
in a letter to the New York Zribunt.
He briefly reviews the legislation,
and shows that the first national
election law was a bill of twenty
three sections, which passed Con
gress as a separate measure, and
was approved by the President
May 81, 1870, and was known as
chapter III of the laws of the
second session of the Forty-first
Congress. This bill, however, was
defective in some respects; so, at
the request of the Union League
Club of New York city, Mr..
Davenport was invited to draw up
an amendment, which was intro
duced in the House of Representa-
tives January 9, 1871, by Judge
Churchill, and, after careful ex-
animation by the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported to the House Feb
ruary e, 1871, by Judge Bingham,
who gave notice that he would
bring it to the attention of the
House and urge its passage Feb
ruary IS. On that day it was taken
up, but a desire being expressed for
general debate it was made the
special order for February IS, and
on the date, after very free discus
sion, in which the leading men on
both sides of the House participant
ed, the bill was somewhat amended
and went to the Senate; again free
ly debated, was passed and was APP
proved by the President February
28, 1871. The proof of all this is
open to every person in the country,
and will be found in the Congress-
ional Globe of that period. This,
then, disposes CT the "riders" to
the appropriation bill argument, and
its complete demolishment leaves the
revelutionists in very bad posi-
ton.

Badly Scared.
f taxpayers

The Democrat is nearly frantic
over the prospect of its party's de-
feat at the coming charter election.
Such appeals as it makes to the
faithful. to be up and doing to guard
against the Vaccinations the
rascally republicans whom it
charges with design to make
this republican city, are heart
rending in the extreme. Nothing
of the kind has ever before been
seen in the columns of that paper.
Formerly nomination by the
democrats has been considered
equivalent to an election, and the
party could afford to take great risks
in awarding favors of this kind in
any way it pleased. Then: the
bummers and incompetents whom
he Democrat now insists shall take
back seats, were permitted to carry
off the prizes in settlement Of their
claims for political services. The
Democrat did not then decry them

Seed Wheat.

MILWAUKEE, March 1l.-In an ar
ticle in the New York Graqhic it is
stated that the result of some of the
scientific tests made by the professors
of agriculture and chemistry, indicates
that the specializing qualities of last
years crop of number TWO spring wheat
has been seriousl y damaged, owing t.
the excessive heat which prevailed just
before harvest in some portions OF the
west, notably in Minnesota.
In contradiction Of this statement,
Mr.. Hunting, Of McGregor, Iowa, who
is largely interested in wheat lands in
Minnesota, exhibited, this day. box
of wheat plants of healthy and vigor-
Gus growth, that had been germinated
from bleached and shrunken kernels,
that weighed from As to AZ pounds to
the bushel, which would not grade bet
ter than rejected. The kernels we're
counted before planting, and not one
failed to sprout. The plants equal in
appearance the sprouts grown from the
best number one wheat. Mr. Hunt.
ling has talked with q number Of
farmers, all of whom agree that this
light wheat will terminate to an ex :
tent equal with the heavier and better
qualities, and the majority of them IN.
tend using it for seeding. 10 prefer
ence to paying the present price for
number one. In Mr.. Huntling's
opinion, based on information from
farmers and producers, there is no
cause for alarm, as stated in the Graph
sc's article, concerning the germinst-
ing qualities Of even the poorest of last
years wheat crop.

And so the match ended, with The
Englishman the winner. and the great
crowd left the building with the band
playing The following is the time
each man had spent off the track since
the commencement of the match up t.
II O'Clock. noon, to-day; Rowell, 81
hours, 81 minutes, Is seconds; Ennis
80 hours. % minutes, 81 seconds; Har-
riman, rs hours, 81 minutes, 7 seconds
1t will be seen that Rowell's running
has saved him the most time for rest
and that Ennis has had less rest than
either of the others. Many runners
were afoat OF probable trouble Tonight
and detail of 400 police was ordered
to the gardeu. Il any demons ration
was made, Rowe ] was to be surrounded
and accompanied around the track by
tue police
From beginning to end the match
has been iuI OF surprises, keeping the
bllc in one continual state OF excite
men'. On Monday morning last, when
the match began, the crowd Was ST.
great that thousands had to be turned
away In the rush for admltta, ce
the crowd broke down one of the large
entrance doors and riot was feared;
but after sharp battle. the police
succeeded in driving the mob back and
restoring order. Soon after the start
Rowell took the lead and maintained
IL to the finish. At the end OF the
first day, he was ten miles ahead. On
Tuesday, he had increased the lead to
sixteen miles.
The peculiarities of the three predes-
TRANS when on the track are notice
able. Roweli always carries a spont e
IN his right hand, which he sucks oc-
caslonally, and a handkerchief in b is
Ieft His record is that of fair man
on the track Ennis has doubtless lost
many laps by short stops taken in pass
'ns the scorer g stand to turn to look at
the scores and 10 passing his cottage 70
catch glance of recognition from this
wife. Hartman sees nothing going
On around him, and begrudges the time
lost in holding out his hand for bou-
quets.
At halfpas' six, while all were on
the track, q touching scene occurred.
Isowell. who had been trailing in Har-
riman's tracks, student stepped up to
him and good-uaturedly extended his
hand, which was Instantly grasped, and
the two then walked around the track
arm in arm amid the cheers of the
crowd, and they we're shortly after
joined by Ennis, and then the building
fairly shook with cheers.
1t is estimated that $50, 900 changed
hands over the race. O'Leary has de-
cided tc challenge Rowell to complete
for the belt.

But this was when

as it does now. But this was when
the machinery of the party was fin
better working order than it is at
presert-when it was treason to
bolt the regular nominee-and
when any ticket labeled democratic
was sure of a handsome majority
no matter how disgraceful and unfit
the names were which it carried,
-rpor its face. Now all this is changed
and hundreds of honest, independent
democrats have thrown off the
party shackles and have acquired
the habit of voting for the best
men. The lesson taught the demo-
cratic managers last fall, and again
at the special senatorial election,
has not been lost upon the editor
Of the Democrat. He knows very
well that if his party goes into
another contest handicapped with
unfit candidates, it is doomed to
defeat, provided, of course, the op-
position presents the names of ftose
better entitled to support. Hence
his anxiety that the democrats may
put forward only unexceptional
candidates for the various offices to
be filled next month. We shall
see how successful his efforts are
when the democratic caucuses are
held. Meanwhile he should per-
slst in sounding the note of alarm
lest WATERFOWL may again give
m a]ority for republican candidates,
which we suppose would be regard
ed by him as a calamity that the
city could hardly survive for a
single day.
