The Republicans of the "A Sena-
torial District have honored them
selves by unanimously nominating one
OF the squarest, truest, most reliable
and thoroughly competent men in the
District for their State Standardized
+. Mason, of St. Crolx Falls. We
have enjoyed his friendship and fell
lowship for over thirty years and know
him thoroughly and if our experience
with men and with legislatures has
taught us anything, We feel sure that
he will not only prove very popular
Senator but useful man to his con-
stltuents. Old Polk, his home county
should roll him up 1000 majority as a
compliment to one of It's best and
ableet citizens.-Ashland Press.

THE NEW DOCK QUESTION.

The following memorial to the Board
OF Supervisors, relating to the project
of building much needed public dock,
was read before the Chamber of Com
merce at special meeting of that
body held last Monday evening, and
was unanimously approved by all the
members present The petition ex-
plains itself, and the great need of the
dock no one who has the best interests
of the city at heart, will for moment
question:
To the Honorable Board of Supervi-
sors of the Town of Superior, Doug
las County, Wisconsin.
The undersigned citizens of Superb
or Township, Douglas county, Wiscon-
sin, Respectfully Petition your Board
to provide suitable and substantial
highway approach to the established
dock line in the Bay of Superior,
specially adapted for the shipment of
cattle, and the receipt and delivery of
any articles of commerce, by its access
to deep draught vessels navigating the
lake, to be constructed and maintained
as free and unobstructed wharf on
the bay front through present located
Pier. Recognizing this as an imperi-
tive necessity in view of the large ship
ments of cattle to take place from this
port in the near future, which can only
be provided for over a public highway,
we are impelled to urge your Board to
proceed to appropriate SO much of the
land lying under water and any Ripa-
rian right belonging thereto, between
lots Nos 273, 275, III, 279, 2S1, 283,
80, and 2S7, on West Bay Street,
and the established dock line on the
navigable waters of the Bay of Super
Tor. And, also, appropriating so much
of the rear of the lots on Detroit Pier,
or bridge, from the line of West 1st
street 20 feet wide, to said dock line,
and along said dock line to Becker
Avenue Slip, with a foot walk, and an
adjustable guard rail to ensure the
safe passage of cattle over said high
way to vessels, as well as any other
traffic.
And in view of the immediate re-
quirement of such highway, your pc
titioners request your Board to pro-
vide for appropriating from taxes now
available, or from such as may be pro-
vided for such expenditure, as to en-
sure the prompt construction Of such
highway, to subserve the purposes set
forth. We respectfully ask your at
tention to the recommendation which
IS shown in the appended sketch for
the location of said highway.
Respectfully submitted,

A Delightful HarbOr-MOnday.s Notes.

TIE JOHN MARTIN ASHORE

Duluth Herald 9th
THE JOHN MARTIN ASHORE.
Saturday night or early Sunday
morning the schooner John Martin, of
Cleveland, in tow of the steambarge
Chamberlain, went ashore on Park
Point, near the canal pier The wind
was blowing very hard at the time
and in coming up to the mouth of the
canal the tow line parted. The Cham
berlain made the canal all right, but
the Martin drifted ashore as above
stated. In going ashore she carried
away a portion of the trestle work
leading to the light house. 1t is won
derful that the schooner escaped in
jury herself as she must haye struck
the trestle work with considerable
force. The Martin laid on the shore
all day yesterday with heavy sea
beating against her but it was not
strong enough to do her any injury.
The Mollie Spencer was working at
the Martin last night aud succeeded
in pulling her around and it is pro-
bable that she will be got off sometime
today. She is owned in Cleveland by
Bradley & Jones. Mr. Jones is her
captain. She carries $4,000 bushels
of wheat. James I. Rose is her agent
here.
THE CHAMBERLAIN's FUN.
The Chamberlain after losing her
tow was making for the Northern Pa
cific dock and either miscalculated
the distance or else did not know
where she was. She run into the
Northern Pacific bridge, about in the
center, and went clean through it.
She backed out again without receiv-
ing any damage. Both the Chamber
lain and the Martin came in light for
wheat.

Picayme to rejoice in a double
loaded half-column on last Sunday:
and the Iberia Star chimes in with
its lugubriouS music on account of
the latter troubles.
Well, one of these writers seated
in the fourth story of brick house
on Camp street, and the other in
the Attakapas prairies, can afford
to make light of these misfortunes,
and laugh at the people who are
watching by day and by night,
more than 1000 miles of levce. to
save their property from overflow.
1t is fine opportunity for these
sapient writers to attempt to show
their wit.-Thibodaux Sentinel.

Representative Belford has placed
a wreath of thistles on the treach-

pears that after the last Presiden-
tial election, which was saved by
the energy and ability of General
Grant, Senator Conkling and the
Stalwart leaders generally, and
while the late Saint Garfield was
protesting his dcathless ingratitude
to them, his representative, Fos-
ter, was in correspondence with
Whitlaw Reid, another sneaking,
crawling thing, as to the best means
of securing a Legislature in the
State of New York to defeat Sena-
tor Conkling for reelection to the

To the voters of the Parishes of Madi-
son and East Carroll:
/. ,,i1respectfuily announce myself as a
candidate for reelection as Judge of
the Eighth Judicial District, subject to
thu action of the Democratic District
Convention.
Four years ago, without solicitation
upon my part, | was nominated to this
honorable position by the Democracy
of Madison, which nomination was
ratified bv the Democrats of East Car
roll At the time this nomination was
made, the prospects of an election was
gloomy indeed, and there appeared very
little, if any probability of success, but
being n devoted and ardent Democrat
and believing fthe Democratic organi-
,ZstiOn was kept up i'll these parishes
and all true Democrats would stand and
work earnestly together that success
would come sooner or later, l accepted
the nomination Though it had been
first rendered to and refused by my
present worthy opponent and gave my
whole energy to the contest. BY hard
and vigorous struggle upon the part of
the Democracy of Madison | was elect
ed. Feeling truly grateful for the high
-honor which had been conferred upon
me, determined that no act of mine
should bring regret to those who had so
honored me, and have endeayored to
perform all nv official duties firmly,
faithfully and impartially to the end
that the laws should be enforced and
good government prevail throughout
my district. l have tried to mcte out
equal ana exact justice under the law
to all persons whose interests ii became
necessary for me TO pass upon, and
though strong and outspoken as TO my
political convictions and warm in my
personal attachments, | have endeav-
ored never to allow either the one or
the other to influence me in the least in
matters which have been called upon
to.decide between political opponents
or personal friends or foes. If re-nomi-
mated and reelected to the high and
,. honorable position | now hold, I:shall
regard ftNith profound satisfaction as
approval by the people Of my official
acts and shall strive in the future as |
have in the past, to SO conduct myself
in the performance of my official duties
as to truly merit at the expiration of
my next term, the appreciation of every
good citizen in my District of whatever
POLITICAL party or faction in life he may
belong.
Very respectfully.

The Campbell cotton mills at
Manyunk, Pa, are about shut
ting down indefinitely, and the ex-
PLANTATION of the action given by
Campbhll himself will interest
Southern manufacturers. He says:
ave are driven to this step by two
causes: one is the immense over
production of cotton fabrics, and
the other is the strong competition
that has grown up i'll the South.
There are now between 200 and 900
cotton mills in operation through
the South, and as labor there is
much cheaper than in the North
the South is naturally becoming a
formidable contestant in the cotton
trade. It'd.

Gov. McEenery and the Morganza
Levee.

We regret to notice disposition
on the part of few newspapers of
Louisiana to censure Gov. Mem
enry for the MOrganza crevasse.
This, too, they are doing in the
very face of the fact that Col. F. l..
Claiborne, who had been appoint
ed inspector of the levee by the
police jury of his parish (Pointe
Coupee) and large number of the
best citizens, certified to the fact
that the levee, after Gen. Meyer
had completedit, was all that could
be desired. Gov, McEnery was
not the choice of this paper as a
nominee for Governor, although
We are heartily supporting him;
yet, nevertheless, candor and JUS
tice compel us to admit that Gov.
McEnery has done all that mortal
man could do in the Morganza le-
wee business, and is undoubtedly
entitled to praise instead of CEN
sure. Let justice be done, though
