STATE SEN.i TOR,

A correspondent of the Chronicle
wants our present worthy State
Senator renominated by the Repub-
lican convention The good things
said Of Mr.. Campbell are well de-
served, and we rejoice at their pub
LEGATION. The statement that his
denomination is called Tor by pre-
cedent is hardly we'll sustained, how
ever. While Iowa comprised a
Senate district reu omination Of the
incumbent was certainly not the
rule,-in fact we do not now recall
an instance when it was done. And
If it had been the rule then, it does
not follow that it should continue
in the re-organizcd district There
seems to be a general opinion that
rotation between the counties is
most likely TO insure n continuance
of the pleasant amicable feeling eX-
listing, and recognizing this, we cam
not press the claims of any Iowa
county man upon the convention at
this time, though our personal feel
ings might prompt us to do so. If,
however, it shall appear at the con-
vention that our friends of Richland
are unable to agree in presenting a
candidate who is unobjectionable,
as some think probable, it may be
found desirable to look to the south
side of the river for a standard
bearer. In that event, Senator
Campbell would naturally and prop
erly be presented by his friends in
Iowa county; and should his renomi-
nation be the result, no one here
doubts his triumphant reelection.

THE Darlington Democrat advises
the Democratic State Convention to
steer clear off taking positive po
sition on anything, or nominating
men Of pronounced views on public
questions. 1t says: "To take the
extreme views of the greenbackers
would give no strength, besides be-
ing wrong in principle. To take
the extreme views of John Sherman's
party would be great wrong, and
would be destruction to the party
in the state. Let the extreme men
of the party be kept back and all
will be well. On all other great
questions there is no difference, and
can be none with democrats. They
must all favor free ballot and q
fair count The convention can
take such a course as will ensure
victory, and we hope and trust that
will be The result"
If our recollection is not at fault, the
Democratic State Convention of 1877
adopted substantially the policy rec
commended above for 1879. The
grand success q achieved under the
doubtful banner by the democrats
two years ago doubtless suggests its
unfurling this year

From other sources come assur.
ances that the proposed extension
will be made AZ an early day That
little effort and encouragement
will bring it through Dodgeville and
Mineral Point there is scarcely room
to doubt. The people of those
towns cannot fail of seeing the i'm
portance of such connection, and we
confidently expect them to give the
matter attention. Information quite
direct from Freeport is to the effect
that there is daily growing less
probability of the success of the
proposed narrow guage from that
point to Dodgevile, so that the
people of the latter place are practi-
cally at liberty, to look elsewhere
for the railroad communication
which they so much desire. and for
which they have time and again
shown disposition to contribute
literally There seems every reason
ment offered by Dodgeville to other
r. r. schemes, and a proper second
ing by Mineral Point, if extended
to the proposed Wisconsin Central
extension, will insure the advantages

other parts of the county.

Gov. SMITH AND THE SOLDIERS
1t having been asserted and reiterat-
ed freely 10y the Democratic press,
that under Governor Smiths admin
istration, ex-soldiers were not given
tie same recognition as under other
State administrations, the Governor
took occasion to refer to the matter
in his address at the Soldiers re-
union held in Mazomanie last week.
BY actual count the Governor show
ed that the number of eX-soldiers
holding State appointments now is
equal to that of any time since 1870,
and about twice as great as the
number employed in 1875, when
Democrats controlled the appoint
ments. Notwithstanding this show
ing, sustained by figures compiled
from the official records, some demo-
cratic Journals continue to sputter
about Republican "ingratitude to
soldiers" which soldiers the demo-
cratic party denounced as "Lincoln
hirelings" when they were battling
for the union and needed sympathy
and encouragement.

No SURPRISE. - The Vicksburg
Commercial, a Southern Democratic
paper, says of the Dixon murder !:
'"The news surprises but few of
our citizens, for it was anticipated
and looked for by every one" The
murder of any man who interiors
with straight Democratic ticket
causes no surprise among southern
Democrats For it is announced
openly by the state committee that
"resort must be had to the methods
which was successful in lS75-'16-T."
If southern Democrats arc not sur.
prised at political muider, neither
are Republicans anywhere. 1t is a
well known part Of the Democratic
programme. The hanging of cold
blooded murderer in Mississippi
would be the cause of great sur
prise. This is not to be expected
even in the case Of the murderes Of
Judge Chisolm and his gallant and
heroic daughter.

IN GOOD CONDITION.

81 statement from the Inspector Relative to
the Reports of Danaoed Grain in MI
aCaHEee Elevators.
Milwaukee Special (MarCh 2S) Chicago Times.
There has been some sensational talk lately
about the condition of the wheat in the eleva-
tors, 1t being reported that, owing to the soft
condition of much of last seasons wheat it
was heating in the bins. To set the matter at
rest, SO far as the wheat in store here is con-
cerned, the Times reporter interviewed In
spector Holland Official grain inspector of the
chamber of commerce) about it. Mr.. Holland
said:
"There is always more or less wheat DAMAGED
In the elevators, and that is one reason why in
spection and classification is required of all
grain removed from the elevators for shipment.
The reports, however, that the wheat now in
store is in especially bad conditiod is all non
sense. undertake to say that the brag crop
OF 1877 was injured in the elevators than
that now stored. The wheat last wear was bar-
vested dry and SO it was kept, really, in better
condition than is usual; and the shriyeled
lower grades couldn't be injured anyway. No.
for the vast quantity in store it has certainly
kept in better condition than it will average
one year with another. have made examina-
tlons and can state positively that the wheat
here IS not in the condition stated by the ru-
rnors referred to, but it is, the contrary, in,
good condition."
The wheat market to-day was shade firm
er, but was not very active. Receipts were
again large and aggregated $3.50 bushels,
against o., ,6OUthe same day last year. Ship
bushels, against 54l 900 the cores ponding day
in 1873.

SENATOR MCMILLAN had the temerity and
the good sense to remove the st. Paul post
master two or three years ago and the un-
gracious being has been very mad about it
ever since. He never loses an opportunity
to disparage and speak in contempt of Min
nesota's junior Senator. In noting the ap-
polntment Of Gen. Flower yesterday to sue
ceed Geo. Moore. he alludes to Mcmillan as
the "jedge." There is evidently some bril-
liant but cutting sarcasm in the appellation
OF ''Jedge,' which only an ex-postmaster can
appreciate. Besides, Mcmillan, though a
bitter partisan and not very brilliant in the
ways of the world, is not dishonest man.
He will not steal himself or knowingly ap-
point thieves to Office. It is therefore no
wonder that he is held in contempt in the
Bill King quarter.

of the last Congress an effort was made to
prove that outrages had been perpetrated
upon the negroes of the South, especially in
South Carolina. just before the adjourn
ment an er zo7te report was submitted by
the chairman, charging serious crimes upon
the Democrats of the South. These charges
were disputed by minority of the commit
tee, but they were not allowed an opportu-.
nifty for hearing. It would seem to be the
province of the reconstructed committee to
inquire into this branch of the subject, in
stead OF trying to establish by evidence what
ls.known to every citizen that large cor
ruPtlon fund was raised by blackmailing
devices from the employees of the govern
ment. If it shall be proved that any citizen
was hindered from free exercise of the
franchise in the Southern States by the Dem
ocratlc party, that party ought to be con-
demned; for such state of facts existing in
the face of the professions and traditions of
the party in favor of the utmost freedom of
opinion, ought to condemn it.
Another branch of the subject referred to
the committee has been but imperfectly con-
sidered-the endeavors of Republican bull
dozers at the North to intimidate voters.
Mr.. Lynde, of that committee, has sub
mltted partial report as to the doings of
the federal officials at Now York,
which shows that more than five thousand
voters were kept from the polls through fear
OF the vengeance of John I. Davenport, the
chief supervisor of that city. The evidence
he heard was most conclusive, but was not
complete. If the committee would but con-
tinue his inquiry, and prosecute it not only
in New York but in other Northern cities, it
would be found that the South is not alone
given to bulldozing, but that there are many
wrongs upon the citizens of tho North that
require to be righted. -

OF the thirty-four committees of the Senate

This is specimen of the reckless asser-

lines during the war. Of the special com.

are divided equally between Northern and
Southern Senators. The preteuse that un.
due prominence is given to the Southern
element will not bear inspection, for, con-

This spring when we saw Mr.. Kings
proposition to unite the two associations, we
gave him credit for fair-nninaed and lib
eral spirit, and really anxious to subserve
the best interests of the State. But when
the committee of conference appointed by
the two cities met, Minneapolis betrayed q
degree of selfshness highly discreditable,
by declaring as condition of her uniting
with the State fair, it must be held in that
city. St. Paul was willing to unite on any
outside city, or at some point between the
two cities referred to. Her course in this
matter has certainly been the more magnan-
lmous, and unless she shall subsequently
spoil by iu-aavised action what has already
been accomplished, we believe that she will
have the sympathies Of the State at large
with her.

The Republican prsss are very indignant
because Congress has seen fit to submit the
question of the legality Of the election of the
members from Iowa to committee for con-
sideration. There was question as to the
validity of the October election at the time
it was held, and we 500 no danger in having
the question submitted to competent tri-
bunal for decision. Whatever verdict may
be arrived at can be of no partisan advantage.
It will simply settle a disputed question that
ought to be settled as speedily as possible.

Considering the large number of special
hazards within the boundaries of Minnesota
the average rate of 1878 on the Minnesota
business was very low much lower, as
shown by the experience of the companies
in the years business, than they could af-
ford. True, the losses were extraordinarily
large, on account of the disastrous mill ex-
Plosions at Minneapolis in May last. But if
these extraordinary losses be deducted from
the total, there is still q small margin of
profits left to the companies.
