CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, April 9Th, 1880.

~ idCh VI III thipS sOStts w
letter from Is sufficient excuse for
devoting this brief epistle mainly to
the presidential situation. Recent
developments are considered In po-
litical circles here as strongly in
dicative that Grant will be nomi-
mated if he concludes to accept the
doubtful honor at the end OF the
desperate struggle that will be made
by his enemies to defeat him; but
that he will accept under the cir
cumstances, is hardly probable.
Accepting this as good guess, the
logical conclusion is that Grant ,cill
name the candidate, and his name
will not be Blaine. Generally, and
naturally, it is thought that E. B.
Washburn will be second choice Of
the Grant party, and the one most
acceptable 70 Grant himself-hence
Washburne stock stands highest of
any, though other names are oftner
heard. There is a strong current
setting in for him in this state,
which ap2als the Blaine managers,
who undoubtedly had calculated up
on a sold delegation from Wisconsin
for the Maine statesman, several Of
the strongest papers OF the State
have already announced positively
for Washburne, including the James.
vile Gazette, Portage Register, Grant
County Herald, Baraboo Republic,
and the entire republican press, and
the list grows weekly. Besides
which the unanimity of the cham
pions Of other candidates in naming
Washburne as second choice is sig
nificant. All admit that with Wash
burn for President, the 4th and 9th,
and probably the 9Th Congressional
Districts would be reclaimed from
Democracv,-making our delegation
I to certainly, if not 8 to ., in
stead OF to 3 as now. Presuning
him to be as strong as any possible
candidate in the country at large,
which none question, the benefit OF
his candidacy to the party of Wis
consin should, it would seem, insure
her delegation solid for WashJune.
Considerable interest is maHifest
in the city election tomorrow, party
lines being closely drawn, and can
vassing lively. To make the matter
more interesting live strife for the
MunicipalJudgeship goes on between
the present incumbent and Frank
Parkinson. The latter is worthy
scion of the Parkinsons of Lafayette
county, o competent man, goou
republican, hence our sympathles
are with him, but having no vote
here our good wishes avail but little.
In few days Governor Smith
starts to Washington to present
large claim for additional swamp
lands to which the State seems
clearly entitled, and in preparation
of the papers for which a large a
mount Of clerical labor has been
performed during the last year.

We all know how "the Star Spanglsd
Banner and the Marsellaise, +" originated,
but it Is Cafe to say that few Of Us know
anything about the composition Of "HAn
Columbia" When Washington passed over
Trenton Bridge on his way from PhiladeI-
phia to New York TO be inaugurated, .
march by Prof. P. Fyls, well-known mu-
sician of the time, was played. It was
called the Presidents March" In speak
ing of Hail Columbia" Judge Francis
Hopkinson says:
This song was written in the Summer Of
1898, when a war with France was thought
to be inevitable, Congress being then In ses-
sion in Philadelphia deiberasing upon that
important subject, and acts Of hostility hay-
ing actually occurred. About that time .
young man by the name of Fox, attached 10
the Chestnut Street Theatre, was getting up
some attraction for his benefit I bad
known him when at school On this &C.
quaintance he called on me ON Saturday af-
tsrnoon, his benefit being announced for the
following Monday. He said there were NO
boxes taken, and his prospect was that he
should suffer loss instead Of receiving o
benefit from his performance but that II be
could get patriotic song adapted to the
tune of the Presidents March, (thsn the
popular air) he bad no doubt of full house;
that the poets Of the theatrical corps had
been trying 10 accomplish il. but were salts
fed that no words could be composed 70
suit the munc Of the march. I told him
would try for him. He came tho next after
noon, and the song, such as IL was was
read for him. It was announced on Mon
day morning, and the theatre was crowded
to excess, and so continued, night after
night for the rest Of the season, the song
being encored and repeated many times
each night the audience joining in the oho-
rus. It was also sung at night in the streets
by largo assemblies Of citizens, including
members Of congress. The enthusiasm
was general, and the song was heard, I
may say, in every part Of the United
States"
1t is interesting 10 know, too, that when
Francis 8. Key wrote the Star Spangled
Banner he adapted it 70 tho tune of song
under the curious title Of Anacreon in
Heaven" the present air having been chosen
later.
