opposes the proposed ADJ ustment oil
the double.committee difficulty, Il
the State Journal. Every Republi
can paper in the counties of Grant
Iowa, Lafayette and Green and
some of those in Dane, earnestly
commend the meeting called, and
expect the gentlemen to perfect the
settlement Hence there is little
ground tor fear that the Journals
effort will avail to prevent the con
summation.
There is no evidence that the peo-
pie Of Madison, or Dane county, are
in sympathy with the Journal. On
the contrary, there is the best
grounds for belief that Kcyes aud Il
few similar implacables, only, are
represented by the Jornal, AMI that
the only objection to the meeting is
that it wa. arranged without the
knowledge or consent of defanct
bosses.
The Jomnat urges that the mat
ter should be left for settlement 0
the delegates from the district pres
ent at the state convention, but gives
no information as 10 whence those
delegates would acquire authority to
declare the committees raised at
Monroe no committees, and proceed
to form one in their stead.
Suppose nothing be done until the
state convention meets, and the del
egates there from the Sd district pro-
coed to declare the Reyes committee
no committee, aud that the SO called
IIazelton committee is the regular
committee or Cjcs UerSa, Or, sup
pose the said delegates proceed to
erect a new committee, ignoring
both existing committees, is any
such arrangement likely to be more
satisfactory than one made by the
committee men themselves?
a majority Of each committee, in
GLIDING both Reyes representatives
in Dane county, have agreed over
their signatures to meet on the day
set by Judge Clementson. 1t were
reproach on their good faith and
independence to presume the meet
ing will not be held because = prom
inent journal or few disgruntIed
politicians disapprove. OF course
the meeting viii be held, and that
the object desired will be attained
there ought to be no doubt If i'll
fails, the failure viii be attributed
to obstructonists who evidently
want nothing done unless done in
their way, or under their supervision.
The terms Of agreement are inn
material The committee may agree
to present their designations to the
state convention and request the
Delegates from the al district %
form committee; they may agree
SO unite IN calling the next congress
sional convention, thus practically
forming one committee II is in,
credible that gentlemen of intele-
geuoe, such AS are to meet at Madi-
son ON tine 18th, VIII notagroe SO far
as 10 insure unity of action to thc
extent of calling and organizing %
convention which only is necessary.

THE Lancaster TeHa, under the
guise of an independent journal, is
developing rs a very efficient assist
ant--Democrat 1t is evidently
much disturbed by the prospect Of
closing the broeeh in the Republican
ranks of this district. The Teller
affects to believe it TO be only a
scheme OF one element which it de
nomiuatos "Stalwarts, to work some
terrible mischief with another ele-
ment, presumably the "half-brceds."
1t may soothe the TeHa' to learn the
fact that a majority of the gentle
men composing each of tie com
mittees, were Blaine men in 1850
and unless the tall wags tie dog,
there is no fear of "Stalwarts' rul-
ing the meeting.
