ocrat Bragg must be elected as his
county, Fond du Lac, is transferred
to the 9th district, and he will prob
ably be RELOCATED to private life, as
the 9th will be Republican district
in which so popular a man as Guen-
thcr il sure Of election even il OPP
posed by so Good a Democrat as
General Bragg. The 18th district is
formed of the same counties it for.
merly was less Jackson, Clark, Eau
Claire, and juneau so that VIM i.
Price goes into the sth and will
have to contend against Thad. Pound,
Thorp, ct al, instead of against the
politicians Of Lacrosse, Vernon and
st. Croix, as heretofore. 1t is said
that neither Price nor his prospect
i've competitors are DER well pleased
with the arrangement. The 9Th
district is to embrace the northeast
quarter of the state, and will con-
tain plenty of Congressional timber,
as we'll rs pine, tamarac, and other
woods. Of the Republican persua-
sion there will be ID. M. Kelly, +.
/ L Brown, Myron A. McCord, II O..
/ Fairchild and others; and Demo
Gratis such as +. X. Hudd, {. D..
Robinson, etc.
After being freely advertised, and
many claw-hammer coats and dress
trails had been put in readiness for
Legislative hop, the same has been
indefinitely postponed. Rumor has
it that the Assembly respectfully
but firmly declined to have anything
to do with the matter which the SEN
ate had proposed, and positively re-
fused to grant the use Of the cham
Der for the purpose.
Since the defeat of the prohibi-
ton resolution, the temperance peo-
pie have begun to organize for next
FAILS campaign. Their programme
is unot1icially announced to be to
perfect organization in every Senate
and Assembly district; to await
nominations by political conven-
tons, and in districts where neither
party nominee is favorable to sub
hitting the prohibition question to
run "A third candidate; but in dis
tricts where either of the regular
party nominees is acceptable to the
temperance people, they will labor
and vote for the success of such
candidates irrespective of their par
ty atlinities. The effectiveness Of
such course in testing the strength
of their proposition with the people
is unquestionable, and the propriety
of it none will dispute. 1t is fair to
assume that the districts that sent
the 50 asscmblymen who supported
the proposition this year, will send
men of like mind next year. If
this be the case the temperance PEG
pie have only to find 8 or 10 other
districts wherein they can accom-
plish the nomination and election of
men Of the same views, and one
branch of the Legislature is secured
to them; and a serate amenable to
the same constituency is not likely
to defeat a proposition passed by an
assembly elected under such circum-
stances. There is some talk that the
temperance people may nominate or
seek to control nominations for Con.
gress, also. Such course their OPP
ponents Hope they will persue at
least, for by ii the chauccs Of sue
in the most desired object, control
of the Legislature) would surely
be lessened 1t is a reflection upon
the good sense, and almost calcu
lated to arouse doubt of their good
faith, to believe that the workers in
the temperance cause, will take such
course, with the fruitless campaign
of last fall to warn them from it.
