CAPITAL NOTES.

WAS UOJ 50 SUCCESSFUL uudHCldiiy, ~
the management hoped it would be.
Calculation had been made upon re-
alizing one thousand dollars above
current expenses. that is needed to
erect a tabernacle on the grounds;
instead of which there is but nom
inal margin above the outlay. The
Indictment weather in no wise inter
rapted proceedings or In the least
lessened the attractiyeness of the
programme, which WAS faithfully
carried out. Those present were not
seriously Inconvenience by the rain.
It's only bad effect being to deter
many from coming and thus unfay
orably affect receipts. No ore who
attended even for 3 day or an even
ing failed to acknowledge receipt in
full Cor cost of admission Any
one Of the daily lectures and con
certs was equal to anything of the
kind to be heard for so cents in ar
ordinary way. All in all the AS
sembly was a success; showing
marked advance over former ones in
the State, and assuring its perma-
nence as State institution.
This week we are to be RECALLED,
and no doubt edited by the "Nation-
al Conference of Charities and Cor
rections,' which holds its annual
session in the Capitol, commencing
this evening. Celebrities in the
philanthropic circle Of the country
are announced to be present, and
speak their minds upon the subject
of provisions and methods of car
ing for and treating unfortunates
and criminals.
No act could well receive more
universal commentator than Presi
| dent Arthur's veto Of the River and
| IIarbor bill receives in this commun-
/ ity. Judging from comments OF
| the press, the same general approval
seems to extend throughout the
State. Yet, strangely, both Senators
and all members from Wisconsin
who were present in Congress voted
to pass the bill over the veto. Some
of those representatives certainly did
not represent their constituents, and
will need TO explain their woes on
this measure if they come before
the people for further endorsement.
They must give some good reason
unknown to the masses, to justify a
course so plainly unpopular.
Not wholly unanticipated, it has
been authoratively announced that
Gen, Ed. L, bryant is no longer a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Congress. The use of
his name at all, was distasteful to
him, and only PERM ted to crafty
friends here; who desiring the nom
ination of q Dane county man, and
believing him to have sufficient
strength in other counties to be
successful, hoped that Dane county
would adopt him as her choice.
Finding that other local ambitions
rendered this impossible, and that
his continuance in the field would
sure divide the Dane county del
eaation and render the nomination
of any man of the county impossible,
while eliciting unpleasant local
strifes and animosities, Gen, Rry-
ants friends concluded to cease
their efforts in his behalf.
Thus the county delegation is
virtually conceded to L. w Reyes,
and harmony prevails. Mr.. keyes
and friends assume to be hopeful.
They admit of no doubt that he will
receive the support of the delegates
from Green county, which, with the
II from Green is only two less than
the number necessary to nominate,
and the needed two they argue can
surely be scratched out of Grant,
Iowa and Lafayette.
NJ. llazelton's adherents appear
none less pleased that Bryant has
withdrawn than do the Reyes crowd.
The ground of satisfaction by the
II. fellows is, that, while Bryant
would probably have secured some
DELEGATES from Grant and Iowa
