The Bolton Journal, one of
the most conservative as well as
most Thoughtful papers in the
state is opposed to holding
county and district conventions.
Bell county is thoroughly and
reliably democratic, but the
Journal thinks the people can
be trusted to elect their own
officers without the intervention
of a probably cut and dried
democtatic convention. Con-
ventions frequently nominate
men who are distastefulto many
ifnot to a majority of the voters.

General Henderson says that, in his
opinion, the secret of the opposition of the
Hennepin canal is chiefly opposition to
Chicago. There is no question that il
will be greatly to the benefit of that city,
and he expresses surprise that her citizens
have not taken more interest in the mat
ter. With the force and activity of Chi
cago applied to the question it would not
long halt in passage This opinion ia
freely expressed by other friends of the
canal, and the apathy of the metropolis to
an enterprise so greatly to her benefit if
carried out is matter of universal COM

the case does much to weaken the efforts
of those who are pushing the matter.
