CAPITAL NOTES.

| Notwithstanding the DOld IRON
presented by the boilers from thu
Monroe Convention, it is we'll under
stood here that they felt extremely
DESTROYS of avoiding the necessit,
of maintaining it to the extremity
of election day. Hence the failure
of the attempts to secure the with
drawal of Hazelton and the drop
ping of Reyes, is especially regret
ted in this county. Every indica
ton now is that as the canvass pro
crosses the number to sustain tht
Reyes pretension will daily dimin
in, and that when the votes are
counted he will be found to have
less than Hastings. The contest fol
last place is expected to be close be
tween Reyes and the Greenbacker,
Mats. B
The Democratic victory in Ohio
was not surprise to many. Very
few expected a different result, ex-
cept that the Congressional delcga-
ton would be more equally divided.
All hope that the next House of
Representatives will be Republican
is practically abandoned, and in this
district is manifest since the Ohio
election more interest among Dem
ocrats in Jones prospects. 1t is
thought to be worth something more
to have him q member of a House
controlled by his party, than il
would be were the complexion Of
that body to be Republican. Ac-
cordingly Democrats will adhere
more closely to their ticket than
was expected a week ago.
Hazelton spent most of last week
in this county, AID an awakening of
his supper ers is noticeable. IL is un-
derstood that a daily paper will be
established here this week to com
bat the influence of the Journal,
which is laboring earnestly for
Keyes. In addition Mr.. IIazelton
announces that he will hold meet
ings in all the principal villages of
the county. If this is done, and his
programme for the campaign in
other respects is faithfully carried
out, there is ground for belief that
he will get away with Keyes even
in his own county and Green.
OF course Mr.. Reyes and his
friends take quite a different view
Of the matter. They have issued an
elaborate address to the people
which will no doubt be freely dis
l'ibuled, wherein they make very
plausible argument to show that
heir nomination of Mr.. Reyes was
n a measure regular; that the nom
nation Of Mr.. Hazelton was some
what irregular; that if technically
he most regular, it was accomplish
I'd through the treachery of Stick
ley, to which Hazelton was a party,
md therefore the party is not bound
by it, and their action. even if it be
'egarded as merelya bolt, is justified.
Mr. Reyes opens his canvass with
A speech at Stoughton tonight. To
morrow night, the nth, he is adver-
Used for speech at Monroe. His
engagements beyond that are not
but he states that he will
speak more or less in all the counties
If the district.
flazelton Will devote most Of his
lime to Dane and Green counties,
ont will probably hold meetings in
Point, Dodgeville, Platte
Vile, Lancaster and Darlington,
either personally, or BY persons
whom he has secured TO work in his
interest, 1t is rumored that Bob
John A. Logan, and But
terworth of Ohio, may help Hazel
ton with few speeches.
The prohibitionists promise to
their share toward the
life of the campaign. The Demo
Gratis have already begun and prom
Use to continue, so that the people
are likely to be well entertained
from now till election.
II does not refUte the proven bal
modesty Of Dane county, to note
that of the five candidates for con.
