WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, June Z, 1880.

WASHINGTON, June Z, 1880.
The Republicans of this city are in painful
suspense awaiting the action of the Chicago Con-
vention. Every telegraph oface and bulletin
board is surrounded by motley crowd anxiously
scanning the votes as they are announced. Bust
ness in the departments 10 at q stand STILL clerks
and heads of bureaus having deserted their desks
form themselves into little groups eagerly dis
cussing the merits and chances Of their particular
candidate. In fact, but little has been done in
any of the departments since the meeting OF the
convention. A rumor current on the streets that
I've million dollan had been sent to Chicago to
further the interests of Grant and buy up the COL
olored friends from the South created quite stir
in the Blaine camp Secretary Schurz is bitterly
opposed to the nomination Of the head and
summit of the human race"
Congress, since the exodus to Chicago, has
gone along smoothly and done some good work.
The resonant horn of Conger is heard no more,
and there seems to be q determination to push
work as to adjourn by the 18th inst. The postal
route bill has passed, the Senate has agreed to
the immediate deficiency BILL and the sundry
civil bill 10 now In their hands, but is being 30
hspe Of having it speedily passed is through
conference committee The appropriations on
the river and harbor bill have been nearly doubled
since going to the Senate, and 1t is doubtful
whether the House will concur in them An at
tempt will be made in the House to-day TO call
up and pass the bill reported unanimously by the
Committee on Claims giving TO Gen. John A.
Tutter $4,000 in compensation for his losses by,
and services to adventurous pioneers 10 the early
days Of the discovery Of gold in California. The
bill should pass.
One more of the bright and shining lights
of the God and morality party has come to grief
Senator Ferry after his 6asco must leave the
ranks of the truly good, in which he has SO long
shone resplendent, and range himself alongside
of his more illustrate and sensuous leaders, Cam
eron, Cmkling, Carpenter. and ChristiaDcy. His
readiness to deny only more surely fastens the
guilt upon him. Only think Of an ex-Vice-P Pred-
dent of our great and glorious country being
cowhided by chit Of girl whose honor and
virtue he had insulted. 1t b high time that such

SCHLESWIG.

This town being so distant from Mani
towoc that our items of interest and local
gossipings are not long lived enough TO
reach your pleasant city unless per man
uscript, and your paper having no re-
porter in this community, / assume the
title aud intend to portray to the readers
of your paper, from time to time, the
doings of this vicinity.
Last Saturday evening democratic
caucus was held at the store of Mr.. Zill-
man, in Rockville, for the purpose of
electing two delegates. The people al
most unanimously appointed two of the
most prominent men of the town, Oliver
Skunk and John Broecker:.
MIR. VIM. Belitz of Kiel departed this
life Saturday morning after short i'll
ness. He was resident of this place for
more than % years, and was respected
by all who knew him for his hospitality
and agreeable manners. He was buried
to-day and was followed TO the grave by
a host of relations and friends. The
band, and also the singing society of kiel
of which he was member, accompanied
the remains to the church yard and sang
several very appropriate pieces as he was
laid to rest.
Gen. Bragg, our most efficient repre-
sentative, addressed mixed assembly of
republicans and democrats in T. Goeres
hall in Kiel. He spoke for l. hours on
the defects of the republican party, and
the rascality and profigacy of the repub-
hcan nominee for the chief executive Of
fee of the q. s. with such vigor, earn
estness and eloquence, that quite mum.
Der of the republicans present during the
speech stated they were ready to vote for
the General if not for the democratic
ticket. Mr.. Bragg was introduced by G.
r. Zorn.
Immediately after the speech the youth
of Kiel and vicinity INDUCED in a social
hop. The admission fee was very lenient
and at the same time very odd-50 cents
being charged for an evening ticket
(about 40 dances) or cents for dance.
A republican mass meeting will be held
Wednesday evening, Oct. 13, in Tiede-
mans hall at Kiel. Mr.. E. Coleman, of
Fond du Lac, and Hon. Casper Butt, of
Chicago, will address the meeting in
English and German.
A teachers meeting will be held at
New Holstein on Saturday. October %.
This is local affair, being formed by
teachers from Calumet and Manitowoc
counties, and, / think, will meet altern-
ately at Kiel and Holsteln.
Yours, &c, RoMULUs III.

DEMOCRATIC LOCAL CLUBS.

As the time for election Is drawing
near, it would be well for the local Han
cock and English clubs to make some
systematic effort to reach the people of
their respective towns and to provide
means for bringing out the full demo-
cratic vote. 1t is presumed that every
member of club will cast his vote this
fall for the presidential electors But
something should be done to induce
those who are not members, to cast their
votes ON election day. This is the prin-
cipal work devolving upon clubs and this
is the object OF their being. Every club
in the county should report to the chair
man of the state central committee, Gen.
eral Parkinson of Madison. Documents
will then be sent to the clubs for distri-
button. People will be thus informed of
the issues involved in the campaign aud
will be enabled to vote intelligently. The
mere meeting of club and hearing of
speeches will accomplish nothing unless
the club Is thereby nerved to do some
active work. Wisconsin is democratic
state if the full democratic vote is polled.
Manitowoc county can give 1900 MAORI
ty this fall if the clubs will only do their
legitimate work. Many democrats resid-
ing at distance from the polls may not
appear at the polls on election day if left
to their own inclinations. Each club
should appoint committee whose duty
it shall be to bring to the polls every
democrat who is inclined to neglect his
duty as an elector. The funds of the
club will bear better fruit by being ap-
piled for this purose than for any other.
Let teams be engaged to transport those
living at a distance. Organized work is
what counts. 1t is because the republic
can party is well organized that Wiscon-
sin is republican state. Let democrats
do their duty this fall and the electoral
vote of the state will be cast for Han
cock and English. If this article should
be read by any member of Hancock and
English club in the county, we hope that
member will, at the next meeting of his
club, address himself to the task of hav.
ing some action taken to secure full
vote on the second day of November.
Let money be spent for teams and it will
bring better return than If spent in any
other way.

THE READING.

Miss Cody had an unusually large au-
tlience on Tuesday night. Her rendition
of several selections was decidedly praise
worthy and merited the applause she re-
ceived. If the first three selections were
struck from the programme, the iudg-
ment of her audience would be much
more favorable. While they failed to
raise that expectation which eliminates in
enthusiasm when something excellent is
presented, they produced an unfavorable
impression which took off the edge of
delight" when something meritorious
was given.
Miss Cody has remarkably distinct
enunciation. She has a voice pure in
quality, strong and resonant. though
lacking somewhat in volume. Her into
nation in the Teachings of the Bells"
was simply grand. This was the master
piece of the evening. We heard a pro-
fessional lady reader whose Evolutionary
powers are admitted, read this same Sc
lection but her rendition of it is much
inferior to that of Miss Cody. In simu-
lating the continued vibration of bell,
her voice has metallic clearness and a
prolonged righteousness that cannot fail
to please by its fidelity.
4 woman's voice is much inferior to q
mans with the same degree of culture,
in the expression of pathos. One cannot
rid himself of the impression in hearing
Miss Cody in pathetic passages, that the
heart takes no part in the sentiments ex-
pressed by the organs of speech. There
is something mechanical which appeals
only to the organs of sense without
touching the emotions. This marred the
piece "Goin' Somewhere" which was
finely rendered until the last part was
reached

MEME.

Hub Simon intends to go to the north
ern peninsula of Michigan in few days
for the purpose of hunting. Hub is a
''dead shot" and woe be to the deer or
other "varmint" that he draws bead on.
Nearly everyone you meet wishes to go
as delegate to the coming conventions.
The struggle to secure this position is
becoming almost as fierce and lively as
the fight for the candidacy at the con-
vention. Many seem to think there's
money in it.
G. L. Whelan, of Franklin, has been
engaged to teach the school in the Gala
her district. He "opens up" next Mon
day and any person who knows the char
acter and qualifications of the young man
can guarantee in advance that he will
give entire satisfaction to everyone in
the district.
Almost any number OF candidates
are travelling through the county, earn
estly looking after the interest of the
downtrodden voter, with an occasional
thought, however, to their own financial
welfare. Well, they are smiling" lot
of fellows and the surly days of Autumn
would certainly be bleaker and more
dreary without them.
Tom Judge has sold the greater part
of bis farm and will dispose of his per
sonal property, at auction, on the 10Th
inst. Tom intends to take it easy for
the remainder of his days.
The next meeting of the Meme Han
cock and English club will take place on
Saturday evening, Oct. 23rd, at Michael
Heirs. The county ticket will be then
made up and lively "boom" is predict
ed.
Republicans carry sponge saturated
with decoction of alchohol and kerosene
to wipe out the "cussed' figures 1929
which meet them at nearly every step.
But it's of little use; the damned figures
will not out.
Gen. Bragg's speech on Friday eve.
ming gave good satisfaction. His audi
ence was large and he was frequently
warmly applauded. He dwelt mainly
upon the great electoral fraud of '76 and
handled the reverend republican candi
date for president without gloves. He
spoke for two hours and made converts
of nearly every republican who heard
him.

boosted that the powder was furnished
