THE I'M ACHINE's AND THE crank
AND FILE"

Murmurs against the operations of
political rings are frequently heard,
and they generally emanate from what
is termed the rank and file" of po-
litical party, an element that has the
power to obliterate rings If it viii
exert the power it possess. Political
rings composed of few seif-constitu-
ted leaders who assume to dictate in
their own interests all actions of the
political party with which they are as
sociated ought not to be tolerated in
any locality, but there should be a
careful discrimination between die
tating ring known as the machine"
and committeeman and others who
unselfshly seek to promote the welfare
Of political parties. We observe that
unless some persons manifest a great
er degree Of interest than the average
citizen in getting voters to the prima-
ries, conventions and the polls, there
would be far less participation in pol
itical affairs than at present, and as a
consequence the machine : would have
greater privileges than it now enjoys;
assuming this to be true, if the rank
and Gle should manifest a still greater
interest in political and governmental
affairs, the machine" would become
n ore circumscribed in its operations.

One of the most powerful political
rings that ever undertook to torce any
man or measure upon political party
was that of the triumurate which
made SO desperate an effort to nomin-
ate General Grant for the Presidency
in the Chicago Convention last June,
but the masses of the party were alive
to the danger that the success of the
scheme would bring upon the party
and the ''machine" was smashed. It's
defeat was a hopeful sign for the fu-
ture and a conspicuous illustration of
the power Of the rank and file. If the
masses of the party viii give that at
tention to governmental affairs which
as American freemen they should, the
"macitine" in politics, as rep oachful-
ly termed, will soon lose its identity;
SO that, to candid mind, it must APP
pear that the rank and file is as much
to he blamed for the existence Of pol
itical rings as are those who consti-
tute suchrings. Should all attend the
primaries and conventions and vote
without reference TO the wishes Of
those who are setting EN- up, the
occupation Of those who ''set up the
pins would soon be numbered among
the lost arts and acceptable candidates
generally secured; and having attend
ed the primaries and conventions it is
no less mans duty to go to the polls
and vote for the candidate Of his
choice. These suggestions will apply
to all political parties and are not in
tended to shit" any particular ma
chine

THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.

Since this Congressional District has
become noted as being the Glbraltel
of Republicanism in Wisconsin. it is
interesting to observe that 1t main
tains Il creditable standing in the
growth of its population during the
past decade. The present ratio of rep
resentation in the House of Represent
tatives, based upon the ninth census,
is I31 ,425. 1t is of course impractica-
bic to so form Congressional Districts
that each will include exactly this
number, and hence its nearest APP
proach in contiguous territory must
be taken. which will give some dis
tricts more and others less than the
ratio fixed. The following figures will
indicate the number of inhabitants in
each district of this State as shown by
the census of 1870, and also that of Is
so, together with the increase during
the past ten wears:
