CAPITAL NOTES.


Considerable stir was created here
last week by the appearance in Chi
cago papers and the Madison Demo
crdt, of an item to the effect that
orders had been issued from Wash
ington, implicitly by the u. 5. Sen
ators, that f. w. Reyes must not be
permitted to 60 to the state or nation
al republican convention as dele
gate. But few regarded it as other
than a democratic canard promul-
gated for the purpose of disturbing
the harmony of the republican party.
Later developments sustain this view,
and even Mr. Reyes himself pro-
nounces it too ridiculous to merit
serious consideration by anybody.
The fruitful brain of some highly
imaginative newspaper man doubt
less originated the story, or at most
erected the fabric upon the mutter-
ings Of some irresponsible scribbler
actuated by a petty personal spite.
Others think the story was retailed
in the interest of keyes, for effect
in the caucuses and conventions, as
a belief that an effort was being
made to exclude him would strength
en- his chance of being selected as n
I delegate And it has worked that
way, the convention for this assem-
bly, district having elected Reyes as
a delegate to the state convention
without opposition Mr. Reyes ad-
mits that he wants to be a delegate
to Chicago also, and hopes to get
there. Should a delegate be award
ed to Dane county, he is likely to
be the man, but there Is no apparent
good reason why Dane county
should have this honor again, while
other counties Of the district with
equally GOOD and deserving repub-
licans to present, continue unrecog-
nized Either Iowa, Lafayette or
Green it would seem has stronger
claims than Dane at this time, es-
pecially as, when state officers are to
I be renominated, Dane will doubt
+ less expect the other counties of the
district to support 7. l.. Spooner, Jr,
one of her citizens, for another term
as insurance commissioner.
The Madison correspondent Of the
Milwaukee Sentinel discusses con
gressional matters, in this district.
Kcycs is reported as asserting en-
phatically that he will not be a can
didate Gen, Fairchild occupies the
same position 1t is generally
thought chat no name from Dane

place; but 1t is possible that light
ming may strike tbis way, and i it

fancy to have the Wisconsin Dem
ocratic delegation at Chicago there
is no visible reason why he should
not have it; but the rumor is that ne
is trying to organize workingmen's
party from Democratic fragments.
Hence this terror.
MANITowoc Pilot (Dem.): The in
terests of the common schools de-
mand Mr.. Graham's continuance in
his present position until the line of
work he is pursuing has become a
permanent part of the school system
of the state. Three years ago Mr..
Graham was the nominee of both
parties. There is no political pat
ronage connected with the Office,
and the Democratic party with ex-
ceeding good sense ignored politics
in selecting their candidate. 1t is to
be hoped equally wise counsels will
guide the convention of this year.
SOME time ago few enterprising
Dakota farmers discovered that they
could get or 10 cents a bushel
more for their wheat by shipping it
TO Minneapolis instead of selling it
at the local elevator. The discovery
was soon noised about, and the ship
ments to Minneapolis increased rap
idly. This was not long permitted,
as the agents of the railway sudden
ly ran short of cars, and Transports
ton could not be had for love or
money. This is very old trick,
and the farmers were perfectly JUS
tilted in the conclusion that the To-
cal elevator companies and the trans
portation agents were in a conspir-
acy to gouge them by forcing them
to sell their grain for what the
agents of the spectators chose to
pay them, or keep it on hand in
their barns. 1t is no wonder that
the Dakota farmers are clamoring
for the enactment of some stringent
granger laws, such as have been
passed in other Western States.

CHICAGO J0mnal. 1t is worthy
ot remark in these times of compar
atiyely low prices that there is now
in use among the people about
double the amount of currency there
was in 1878, one year before the re
sumption of specie payments. At
that time there were in use by the
people, not in banks or in the Treas
ury, about $4S6,5OO,000 of paper
money and 100000 standard silver
dollars The gold then in the coun-
try was held as merchandise, and,
except in a small part of the coun-
try, did not circulate rs money. We
now have in actual circulation, not
held 10y the Treasury or the banks,
according to comptroller knows re
port Of last November, over S9l6,-
100000, and at this time consider
ably more. The gold has gone into
circulation, and has been greatly IN
creased, the silver dollars and certif-
Gates have been forced into circula-
ton, and, in short, we have not far
from 81 in actual use among the
people where we had 81 i'm October.
