Brown County for Strait.

As may be seen by the minutes
of the Republican county convention
published in our local columns,
Bro wn county has already chosen
her delegates to the Second District
Republican Congressional conven-
ton, being the first in the district.
The delegates were elected at this
early day in order to avoid the hold
ing Of more than two county con.
ventions during the summer and
fall of 1880, and although the dele.
gates to the county convention were
chosen wholly upon the Presiden-
tial issue, the convention was almost
a unit for the nomination of Major
Strait, and the delegates elected to
attend the Congressional convention
are known friends of the Majors.
Although prominent Republicans
may have opposed Major Strait two
years ago upon personal grounds, we
are certain that feeling does not exist
now, at least not in Brown county,
The Republicans Of the western end
of the district have become convinced
that Major Strait can effect more for
his constituents than any other man
in the district. The Marshall Messep-
ger thruthfully remarks: ellis long
experience in and thorough acquaint-
ance with congress alone makes this
probable, but it becomes certain when
we add to these high social quality
and keen fact which enables him to
make friends where others would fail.
1t is congressman's friendships which
win most in congress for his constitu
ents, whether the statement be comp.
limentary to national legislation or
not, and there are very few men who
have made more friendships among
the public men of Washington, of late
years, than has Major Strait. If we
want the man that we can best use, he
is certainly our wisest choice, and we
believe he is the choice to-day of a
large majority of the voters of the Sec
ond District ..

WASHINGTON, D. c., May LIST, 1880.
The expense of the Exodus Inves-
tigation is $4,000. Voorhees, has
exhausted the contingent fund of the
Senate, and he now asks for an add.
tlonal appropriation Of $4,000 to
pay the witnesses. This investiga-
ton was ordered for the purpose of
ascertaing why the colored people
left the South, or rather, that is the
reason the Democrats wish the PEG.
pie to believe. But the real reason
is that Voorhees, wanted to frighten
the colored people and thus keep
them from going to Indiana until it
was too late for them to vote this
wear. Of course he has utterly tail.
ed IN this, and more than that he
has heard some truths touching the
treatment Of the cclored people in
the South. This investigation is
a fair sample of Democratic inyestl.
cations in general. They afford
numberless constituents free trips to
the Capitol and all end like this one
in nothing, 1t is safe to predict, in
view Of the evidence taking, Mr..
Voorhees, will never make q report

is that the system of Bookkeeping
