WE to-day publish a call for Re-
publican Senatorial Convention for
this, the 30th district, comprising the
counties of Dunn, Eau Claire and
Pierce, to be held at Eau Claire on
Friday, October 10th, 1879, for the
nomination of candidate for State
Senator. Each county in the district
will be entitled to five delegates in the
convention. We understand that NJ.
Griffin and II. NJ. Stocking, of Eau
Claire, are aspirants for this position,
and probably the one who goes into
the convention backed by the Eau
Claire county delegation will receive
the nomination, and we might also
add that he will be elected.

As a means of getting the silver that
is constantly being coined into silver
dollars more freely circulated, the
rule has been adopted at the United
States treasury of paying out with
every payment certain proportion of
silver. As President Hayes thinks
there should be no discrimination in
this matter he and his cabinet have
signified their willingness to accept
ten per cent. of their respective saiar-
les in silver, and Secretary Sherman
states that hereafter members of Con-
gress will be paid one-tenth of their
salary in silver, the same as othe
public servants. We have no doubt
that should any of the grain
silver dollar members desire their
entire salary in silver dollars they
would be accommodated by the very
obliging Secretary of the Treasury. A
Congressman annual salary weighs
IN silver over three hundred pounds.
Under this new departure the IDOL
lar of our daddies' will be quite plen-
ty in Washington where government
officers and employees pay their board
and incidental expenses, as each viii
! desire to pay out his heavy funds first.

THE Republicans of California at the
State election held there last week
stood CALAMITY by their colors and
were rewarded for their fidelity by
the success of their State ticket and
a majority, if not all of their candi-
dates for Congress. Should the cleo
tIon of the next President be thrown
into the House of Representatives
California will cast her vote for Re-
publican. Politics in that State were
in a complicated state, there being
five distinct tickets in the field, and
though the Republicans have but a
plurality their success is just as COM
plete and of as substantial a nature as
it was possible for any party to have
secured.

WHILE we do not regard the nomi-
nation of A. B. Cornell by the Repub-
licans of New York as their candidate
for Governor as the strongest and
most desirable that could have been
made there is no question but that he
will make a strong run, and when we
consider the present unity of the Re-
publican party and the energetic eff
forts that will be made to secure sue
cess we do not deem his election at
all improbable. Should the Republi-
cans carry Ohio and New York this
fall they will have secured two very
strong points in the great contest of
