AT the Chicago convention of 1880
the people entered an emphatic pro-
test against bossism in Republican
politics and by so doing secured a
renewed lease of power for the Re.

of Wisconsin should bear in mind that
eternal vigilance is the price of
freedom from the rule of machine
politicians, and govern themselves
accordingly.

WHILE there is but little doubt that
the withdrawal of General Rusk from
the contest for the gubernatorial
nomination was quite seriously con-
sidered two weeks ago, it appears that
he still remains in the field as the
candidate of the Milwaukee Custom
House and corporation ring. The fact
that select ring of office-holders and
representatives of moneyed corpora
tions has given itself contract to
nominate General Rusk, who is him.
self a banker, is sufficient reason
why that gentleman should not be
rendered the guhernatorial nomina-
ton, and if the rank and file of the
party who are constantly complaining
of the oppression wrought by corpora
tons and their gradual absorption of
legislative, executive and judicial
powers popularity presumed to belong
to the people, shall permit their
oppressors to control the State con-
vention when they have the power to
prevent it, they should no longer
complain if they are ruled over by a
dynasty which arrogates to itself the
functions of government.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel, through

choice for Governor, the result OF
which as tabulated by that paper
shows las to have expressed prefer
ence for Warner, SO for Rusk, 46 for
Scott, SO for Bingham, % for Hiram
Smith, IA for Bowman, SO expressing
no choice. This is certainly very
flattering to Mr.. Warner and encour.
aging to his aspirations. The Sentinel
observes in an incidental way that il
is noticeable that Mr.. Warner has
general support in all parts of the
State, while that for the other aspir'
ants is more or less sectional.

A MADISON dispatch of last Saturday
to the Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph
in relation to the candidacy of Gen.
Rusk reads as follows:
Considerable of a political sensa-
ton has been created here suddenly
by an authorized report that Gen.
Rusk announces himself as a candi-
date for governor, and that he will be
supported by both United States sena-
tors and the entire political syndicate
which was successful in the senator
ial elections last winter. The cam
paign in his behalf will be opened
with dash and vigor and will be push
ed with aggressive force and all the
energy at the command of the ring
by whom it will be managed. These
facts have TRANSFERRED since previous
dispatches from here, and have
created an expectation that the re-
publican state convention will be the
scene of one of the most determined
fights which has been witnessed for
years in the state, in which the angry
factions will fight with the greatest
luminosity for victory. 1t would not
be surprising if the monopoly question
should be raised and become one of
the chief points Of controversy.
Excited republicans are demanding
from various parts OF the state: "Are
the railroads to run the republican
state convention as they did the sena-
torial campaign and the legislature
last wintert'
The question with which the above
dispatch closes is a pertinent one, and
one which should command the atten-
ton and consideration of the people.

TIE Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway Company, generously gave

Saturday. The excursionists were
greeted with a speech of welcome by
Governor Smith and the occasion IS
reported to have been in every way an
enjoyable one. Nine cars were re-
CURED to make up the excursion train.
This act speaks well for the great
corporation who performed it, and
will tend to establish more friendly
relations between employee and en-
ployer in this instance, as the
recipients doubtless appreciate the
favor thus shown them.

A MARRIAGE Benefit Association has
been organized in Illinois with a
capital of 81 100000. The purpose of
this association is to encourage mar
riage among its members by the
payment of benefits upon marriage.
The payment of what would be DEEM
ed requisite sum to each of its
members upon marriage would soon
bankrupt the association, unless it's
dues and assessments were fixed at a
higher rate than those of ordinary
means are able to pay, hence we
doubt the success of the enterprise.
