He was persuaded out of the idea. Guiteau was handed letter from his brother-in-law, Geo. Scoville. of Chicago, who offered to defend him when indicted. He said Scoville was an ordinary lawyer and would not do. He was not much of law yer himself, but could beat his brother-in- law. When the case came he would have eminent counsel.

THE Democrats of Wisconsin, in session
in Milwaukee on Wednesday, nominated
splendid ticket. Hon. M. D. Fratt, the
candidate for governor, is a wealthy
farmer of Racine county, and one of the
pioneers of the State. He was candi-
date for congress in the first district in
1854, and made an excellent run against
Charles G.. Williams. His character is
irreproachable and for ability he is far
superior to his competitor. The candi-
dates for lieutenant governor and secre-
tary of State are both well and tavorably
known throughout the State, and will
command large support outside of the
ranks of the party. Hon. W. 81. Jacobs,
the candidate for treasurer, is president
of the Second Ward bank of Milwaukee,
one of the most substantial financial in
situations in the State, and leading
German of excellent reputation. The re-
mainder of the ticket is unexceptionable.
The platform is terse and appropriate to
the present situation of the country. The
resolution relative to the murder of the
president is timely and feeling.
