CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON July 26, 1879.
On all hands it is admitted that
the Republican Reunion, of We'd
nesday, was the most enthusiastic
and memorable political event in
the history of our State. About
5000 people were present, embrac-
ing representatives, from every
county and almost every town,which
in view of the fact that harvest is
in progress, evidences that the peo-
pie are thoroughly aliye on the is
sues of the day, and will take more
than q commonly active part in the
campaign thus auspiciously opened.
The unanimity with which the
State Convention renominated the
incumbent officials is conclusive as
to the sentiment of the people on
that subject, The only opposition
was that of Ludington, who, after a

the denomination of the present state

with satisfaction all over the state.

making a change except desire foi

that was one in which the people at
large felt little sympathy. Demo

env Honest as the day readers incompatible in

to our readers as incompatible in
eloquence and argument, and irri-
sistible in conclusion.
Democracy never seemed more
discouraged in Wisconsin than now.
Prominent men Of the party here
freely admit their cause this fall as
hopeless, and that the canvass on
their part will be merely for the
purpose of keeping the organization
in hand for the campaign of 1880.
Evidence of which is seen in the
difficulty they are experiencing in
finding someone to lead their forlorn
hope--Vllas and Bragg respectfully
decline, and Bouck is expected to
do the same. The great railway
magnate, Alex. Mitchell, is now in
vited to step into the breach with
his money-bags, and some think he
will do it. 1t he does, won't it be
amusing to watch the grimaces of
Democratic grangers and greenbacll-
ers as they gulp him down. Sept.
9th is the time fixed for holding the
Democratic State Convention.
Knight, of the Darlington Demo-
crat, was here this week and gave
out that J. M. Smith is to have the
empty homer of nomination for
Attorney General. Two years ago,

1t is limited, hoped and generally
supposed hal the Louisville and
Nashville railroad will, within a few
days, declare a stock dividend of 2!
per cent. Our county of Shelby is the
owner of $4,000 worth Of this stock,
and will realize in the neighborhood
of $4,000 on this midsummer division.
The county originally held $500, 900,
this being its first subscription to the
road, but when its value had sunk to
10 cents on the dollar a new deal
was inaugurated, the old stock was
surrendered at the rate of 4 for |, and
its marketable value is now Gle in the
New York market. This is an ad-
vance from 36c within the past four
months. 1t has been as high as 694c
in the New York market recently, but
for the past week or two the huctua-
tons have been rather wide, ranging
from bic to its present quotation,
various influences having unsettled
the confidence of holders. There
now appears to be a general
idea that the stock is a
very good investment. A number Of
individuals hereabouts are also more
or less interested in this stock. The
usual semi-annual dividend season'is
close at hand, but, as yet, little has
been heard regarding our local none
tary institutions on this momentous
subject.
The financial situation is one of ease,
currency being in ample supply, with
commercial discounts steady at 6 per
cent.
Exchange is quiet, with quotations
%unaitered, rates being at par buying
for New York and Eastern bills without
grace, and &c discount for sight bills
on Boston and Fall River. Checks
on New York sell at 4c premium.
New Orleans rates are par selling and
&c discount buying.
