WHEN the Independent campaign
opened the pretehse was made that it
was movement "of the people, hy the
people, and for the people" But this
claim was soou abandoned, because as
the facts in connection with the "se.
lection" of delegates to the Philadel.
phia convention became known it was
found that few had any constituents to
represent. At the time it was sug.
gested that data showing the different t
methods, adopted by the different po-
litical parties of the State in selecting
delegates to their State conventions be
secured and published for the infor-
nation of all. This has been done,
and it appears as follows:
Rep. Dem. Ind.
Elected by conventions of
popular vote.............. Sc 27
BY County Committees. 81 90
BY Private Caucus......... 0 81
So from this it appears that the In
dependents had seven conventions, and
that ."private caucus" selected the bal.
ance. A pretty peoples convention,
was it not Nine counties had no rep.
resentation of any sort.

CONGRESSIONAL APPoRTIoNMENT.

The Congressional apportionment
under the census of 1880 has been
made, by which the number of Repre-
sentatives in the House has been in
creased from two hundred and ninety
three to three hundred and twenty
five. This unexpected increase entities
Wisconsin to an additional member
thus encouraging the hopes of a few
ambitious statesmen who thirsteth for
Congressional honors. This question
having been definitely settled, no con-
tingency relating to the number OF
members to be elected need be provid-
ed for and the legislature can now en-
ter upon its labor of re-districting
The schemes mapped out for eight dis,
tricts have been thrown aside and the
politicians are now busily engaged in
drafting others that will embrace the
ninth district. One of these consti.
tutes the seventh district of the coun-
ties of Buffalo, La Crosse, Monroe, Pc.

| earnestly ask that you let them begin
at Banking and finish the work in
Practical.
The b class use Robinson Complete
Arithmetic; they did pretty good work
and reached page 200. 1t would be
well to let this class begin at that
page.
The G class use "Rudiments' and
worked to reduction of compound
numbers page l47.
The ID class use 0lney's First Book
in Arithmetic. They were taught
to add, subtract, multiply, and divide;
also, the multiplication tables, and the
tables of denominate numbers.
In geography there were three class
es--A, B, and G. The A class finished
the work in Monteith' s intermediate,
and will be prepared to review it.
Glass B in Swinton's Geography got
to South America, therefore, it will
be well to take up the study of South
America first.
The q class did some work in map
drawing, especially in drawing maps
of the states and territories.
There were two classes in grammar.
The first class used Kerl's q. S. Gram.
They parsed and analyzed during the
first part of the term, and worked in
syntax some toward the close of the
term.
The second class used Swinton's
Language Lessons. They will tell you
where they should begin.
The history class studied to the
Campaign of 1863-civil war. This is
where they should begin.
There were two classes in spelling.
The A class had written work, partly.
think the work should be written al
together in this class.
The B class should have both oral
and written spelling.
1t is the habit of some teachers to
have pupils review the first part of
their books and go over the same
ground every term, and a school can
not progress if this plan is followed.
| therefore request that you let them
take up their studies as have indica-
ted, and you will thereby oblige
Your PREDECESSOR.

The Fourth Reader class are divided
into two classes: The Ist class use

lean Reader. My work in the 1st class
consisted largely OF Evolutionary ex.
ercises'', and the I'd class gave atten.
ton to infection, pronunciation. and
phonetic spelling and, also, defining
the difficult words of the lesson.
The Third Reader pupils did the
same work that the I'd class did, with
the additional work of writing Their
lessons on their states giving attention
to the use of capitals and punctuation.
The Second and First Reader classes
win say nothing about because there
win be quite number of pupils in
these classes in the summer term that
have not been to school this this term.
There are four classes in arithmetic:
a, B, G, and D. The A class use Rob-

thousandths of the party, are not ca

than the nine hundred and ninety
