EDITOR WITNESS As discussion
of the Republican nomination for
Congressional representative Tor this
District progresses, it seems daily
more probable that Grant county
will again have the honor of supply
ing the candidate. Politicians ar
rive at this conclusion Mr. Hazel
ton will be supported by the deiega-
ton from Crawford county and a
majority Of those from Richland
Colonel Clark will be the tavorite
of Iowa county aud half of La Fay
cite and a portion If Richland MIR,
Treat is expected to be backed 10y
bis own ouuty-6reen-and half OF
La Fayette. Thus the strength OF
the three candidates outside OF
Grant county will be substantially
equal, and the vote Of that county
added to either, iusures noml-
nation.
Although many Republicans IN
La Fayette county contend that
Green county should have recognl-
ton. we must all admit the force OF
these figures, and therefore feel q
keen interest in the pending action

ONE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH
THE MATTERS WHEREOF He
SPEAKS, WRITES Us THE SUB
JOINED LETTER.

Editor Mineral Point TRIBUNE;-
In reading an able article in your
paper on the candidates for Congress
in the third district, l am glad to
see due prominence given to Col.
Clarks untiring efforts in the extern
sion of railroad facilities throughout
Grant and Iowa counties.
But one point in his favor seems
to have been overlooked. 1t is usu-
ally the case, that the men who are
active promoters of such enterprises
are working for heavy pay, either
immediate or prospective, or have
a large personal interest in the rail-
road property itself. Few men who
are actively employed in business
will devote themselves night and
day to scheme at which SO many
had failed, merely for the improve.
ment of the common welfare they
generally have large, selfish interest
at stake, and manage to line their
nest well by their public-spirited en-
terprise.
But Col. Clark was working for a
railroad that did not then exist !;
that had neither money, lands, stock,
nor credit that was built by the
people for their own benefit, and
owned by the people, and that could
only be begun and carried on by
means Of the closest economy, man
agement and self-sacritice. | have
been informed and believe that in
his canyassing to rouse the farming
communities to build the road, and
in all the tedious business details,
correspondence, legal perplexities,
&C., Of which he bore the chief bur-
den, he gave his time and his per-
sonal expenses as cheerful con-
tribution, that he might confer the
benefits of the railroad on the vii
lage and community Of which he
was bu. an individual citizen. All
the substantial benefit that | am
aware Of his receiving, is derived
from the general prosperity of his
town and county, the building Of
a village depot not far from his mod
est brick dwelling, and pass over
thirty one miles of Narrow-Gauge
road.
AS contrast, we may allude to
the Boscobel bridge enterprise, 1t
became an imperative necessity, IN
order to draw the trade of part Of
Crawford county to that city some
years ago, TO build wagon bridge
over the Wisconsin river at the eX-
pense of the city. Now if you wish
to touch a citizen of Boscobel in
o sore place, just ask him to state
how large fee q certain lawyer OF
that place, then and always running
for Congress, compelled the city to
pay him for the tritiing job OF writ
ing the contract for building the
bridge. | forget whether it was $50
or $50; but Boscobel people will
probably remember. | mention the
two eases because lam such an admir-
er of public spirit. "CNPlRE,

the number having duty to perform
the better.
The Prairie du Chen Union in
wide contrast with the Observer,
contends substantially that q con-
vention cannot be too large, and in
sis,s upon its first proposition Of
one delegate to every supervisor
district. To the TRIBUNE's sugges-
ton that representation in party
conventions should be based on
party strength, the Union strongly
objects. Naturally it should, for by
the adoption of such plan Republi-
cans of Crawford county would have
only the same influence in conven-
ton as Republicans iu Iowa and
other counties, whereas under the
plan proposed by the Union, are
publican voter of Crawford county
would have twice the power in con-
vention of Republican in Iowa
county. The Union thinks that to
base representation on party
strength would be uu democratic
That because the candidate nomi-
mated. If elected will be the Repre-
sentative of the whole people, his
nomination should be made by o
convention in which the whole peo-
pie are represented. Substantially
this is the Unions argument. TO it
we have only to say that party
convention does not act for the whole
people, but simply and solely for it's
party ; the opposition is not expect
ed to approve the action or sustain
the candidate, but on the contrary
to condemn the action and oppose
the candidate whatever and whoever
it may be. at an election the can
didates are for Representatives of
the whole people but at a conven-
ton, candidates are for Representa-
tives of party. At an election
the whole people being interested
vote upon the question at con-
veDtion, only the party being inter-
ested should have voice or influence,
direct or indirect The aostract
right of our position cannot be CUES
toned, but the erpedie'scy of it may
be with much force, and hence we
do not feel inclined TO insist upon
its adoption. Republicans in Demo
cratic communities are called upon
to make greater sacrifices than those
in communities where their party is
in majority and the more unfortu-
nate should be given greater con-
sideration in party councils perhaps.
To the injonS plan OF represen-
tatiou, however, there is an impor-
tant objection, even if the theory be
accepted that representation should
be on basis Of population, or
aggregate vote. Under it towns
with a voting population of 100
would have equal representation
with other towns having 500 The
injustice Of which none can deny or
defend. TO such system the one
now in vogue IS decidedly pre-
terable.
As a compromise, we suggest for
consideration Of the Piatteville con
vention something like the follow
ing: THAT each county of the
District snail be entitled to one
"yote in Congressional conventions
"fui every 500 votes Tor fraction Of
$3.50 or more) east for electors at the
last preceding presidential elec-
''tiou the manner Of choosing such
delegates to be determined by the
"Republicans Of the several coun-
ties Under such system the
counties of the present district
would be entitled to representation
