The result of the West Bend Conven-
ton during the past week has been
awaited here with considerable anxiety,
and opinions were pretty evenly divided
as to which of the two rival candidates
would obtain the nomination. New that
it has become apparent that neither of
the two can be nominated, the excitement
has partially died out. That Delaney is
by no mean the choice of the Dodge
county Democracy becomes more and
more evident every day, and on every
hand are heard expressions from Demo
Gratis, who have hitherto never bolted
straight nomination, that they would I'M
der no circumstances vote for him, even
if he was nominated That he succeed
ed in getting the delegation from this
county, is simply through the tricks and
bulldozing on the part of the ''ring,"
who packed Ecaucuses in his interest.
The scheme revealed in Mondays Sentin-
ell by which Sloan was to be nominated,
then decline, and Delaney placed in the
field by the Congressional Committee, is
exactly on a par with the trickery prac-
ticed in this county fer years by the Dem
ocracy under his leadership. Whatever
may be the result of the West Bend Con-
vention, the position Of the Democratic
party in this Congressional district is ma
erially weakened and Delaney will be
consoled with the nomination for State
Senator, but will add no strength to a
ticket that at the best will only be a weak
one
The Republican Congressional Conven-
ton meets to-day Wednesday, at Fond

Bad R1E1lO9CON.

Yesterday forenoon while the team of
J. Norman, of Ixonia, was standing in
front of Meyers shoe store the tugs be-
came loose and the horses releasing them
selves from the wagon dashed down Main
street and across the river with frantic
speed Notwithstanding the efforts of Mr..
Norman to hold them. The horses ran
into the hind end Of the wagon of
Frank Mortel, of Clyman, standing in
front of Straw & Murphy's, tipping it
over and breaking the reach. Mrs. Nor
tel was in the wagon at the time and was
very badly hurt by the tip-over, bruising
and stunning her but fortunately having
no bones broken, although it was deemed
necessary to call upon DIR. Cody for medi-
cal assistance. The horses of Mr.. Norman
appear to have escaped any injury. AS
the streets were lined with people, being
fair day, it is regarded as most FORUM
ate circumstance that more serious con
sequences did not follow the runaway.
Mr., Norman claims that a hand bill
thrown under his horses heightened them
and caused them to run away.

The West Bend convention still hangs
at Il to IA and these ominous figures, it
appears, like Banquo's ghost, will "not
down." even though the manipulations
of adroit and cunning politicians are
brought into requisition to change the re-
suit. Last evening the 1455th ballot was
reached and another half days tug will
secure for the West Bend conclave the
proud distinction of being the longest
winded and most unyielding and stub
born convention ever held since Columbus
landed. II continues to be more and
more patent as the balloting continues
that neither Bragg nor Delaney will be

DeUOn UeFSaLS JerSey.

/, At the Minnesota State Fair held
last week at Rochester a milk test took
place between Jersey mixers and Devon
mixers. After a careful and scrutiniz-
ing analysis the prize was awarded
to the production of four Devon COWS be-
longing to George Baker, of Hustisford,
Dodge county, who had on exhibition q
number of his celebrated Devon herd.
The test was on the comparative rich
ness IF the milk and the decision render
ed will no doubt be considerable Of sur
prise to those interested in dairy matters,
it being heretofore the general impression
that the Jersey breed excels all others
in the production of cream from given
quantity of milk. Wisconsin stock-rais-
ers will appreciate this triumph of their
state over Minnesota and the result reach
ed must also be quite gratifying to our
Dodge county neighbors.

The Central Fair.

The officers Of the Central Wisconsin
Fair are sparing no pains to render the
coming exhibition in every way success
full. A like effort on the part of our citi-
zens and the residents of the surrounding
country would place the Central Fair
this year the best of the series, an attain
ment much to be desired by every one who
would see matters progress as they should
in our midst. The grounds are to be
placed in the best possible condition, the
buildings to be renovated and fitted up
for the proper reception of entries of all
kinds, the track smoothened, and in fact
everything done that can be in the inter
est of exhibitors. Arrangements are fast
perfecting for some Of the best racing ever
seen on the Watertown Driving Park
track, amusements of different kinds are
being provided for, and in this way the
interests of the patrons we'll looked after
Now we come to an important point on
this subject. What are our people doing
in cooperation with the efforts of the So
ciety? 1t must be born in mind that
without some assistance the work of
the officers will be futile There must
be union of action or all attempts at
success fail. Let us from this on see
what can be done to advance the interests
of the Central Fair and help the officers
along in their laudable undertaking.

The MiJaU0ulEee Exposition NOaU
Open.


The Second Annual Exhibition of the
Milwaukee Industrial Exposition Associa-
ton is now fairly started, and thus far
has proved successful beyond all expec-
tation Many people from the interior
have already availed themselves Of the
reduced railway rates to visit Milwaukee
and its Exposition, where may be seen
display beyond ali precedent. The ex-
hibit of 1881 excited the admiration Of
all, but the universal verdict of thou
sands of visitors is that it is far eclipsed
this year.
1t is impossible to give a detailed de-
scri ption of the several departments in
this issue, which must be seen to be ap-
preciated The management have decid-
ed to set apart several days out of the
seven weeks as special days, among
which can be mentioned:
Soldiers Days, Sept. 10, 20, and 81.
Mayors Day, Sept. 81.
Farmer Lay, oct. 5.
Governors Day, Oct s.
Mechanics Day, Oct. 10.
Governors day was originally set for
Sept. 10, but owing to the unavoidable
absence of several governors it has been
necessary to postpone the same until Oct.
5, when there will be present many gov
errors from different states.
The president of the United States will
surely he present at date to be fixed in
the near future. Many attractive fea-
lures will be introduced, and the success
of the Milwaukee Exposition seems posi-
tive even now.
All railway and steamboat lines enter
ing Milwaukee have made their rates at
one fare and one-ffth for the round trip,
including ticket of admission to the
Exposition.
