MEMBER OF CONGRESS.

The Republican convention for the
First Congressional District to nominate
candidate for member of Congress, will
be held at Beloit, Wednesday, September
10. Ample time is given before the
convention meets for Republicans TO
canvass the situation and act with due
consideration on the subject of proper
candidate to be presented to the people
of the district, Jefferson county will be
united in favor of the nomination of the
Hon. L. B. Caswell, of Fort Atkinson
the tried and honored member for four
terms of the old Second District, Con-
siderations exist in the condition OF
matters in this district that should cause
the Republicans to be practically unani.
nous in favor of the selection of Mr..
Caswell The district is now represented
by Democrat and to redeem it from
Democratic hands, attention must be
given to the Democratic vote OF Jefferson
county. Mr.. Casweli is stronger in this
county by at least 500 votes than any
other candidate that can be named, and
his candidature not only insu-es to the
district Republican Congressman, but
will help the Republican Presidential
ticket. Without intending to speak
disparagingly of other candidates men,
toned it can be said without fear oil
contradiction that with his rirened ex.
perience in the halls of Congress Mr.
Caswell would be able to represent the
Firs. District in a manner satisfactory to
the people and their interests.

executive chair one who Is at the same
time sound publicist and conscienti-
Gus man, and that our public policy is
determined, so far as his authority goes,
by considerations of what is legal and
what is right; but we cannot believe that
we are so happy.
On the 18th of March, 1883, The New
York Herald said:
1t This combination of horse-car and
IL road companies has won over Coy
ernor at the very beginning of a three
years term as an advocate of its EXTREMIST
pretentions, and has thereby deprived
the people of the protection of the exc
cutiye power for that length of time.
The Springfield Republican said:
Governor Cleveland's veto of the g.
cent fare bill will not improve hsreputa-
ton as lawyer. His legal rea--
sons are not very strong, as the constitu-
ton expressly reserves to the legislature
the right to repeal, alter or amend al!
charters. Governor Cleveland
has simply shown himself an ill-bred and
thick -witted lawyer in taking this atti-
tude.

Gle VELAND AS A GOVERNOR,


In recommendation of Grover Cleye-
land to the presidency the Democrats cite
to the able manner with which he has
filled the gubernatorial Office. Several
newspapers that now support Cleveland
for President are quoted below as show
ing the poor opinion they had of him as
governor of the state of New York.
The New York Times of Jan. 8, 1883,
had this to say of Governor Cleveiand's
message to the general assembly:
On the whole the impression produced
by the message is one of disappointment
Independence of character and honesty
of purpose are good things in any COM
bination with other qualities in any
station in life, but they will not of them
selves supply the place of large capa-
city for dealing with public questions
and peculiar fitness for executive duties.
The New York Times of thes7th of
March said:
There is no reason why this repeal of
the charter of the Metropolitan Railway
company should not be done, but since
Governor Cleveland has taken the side of
the monopoly in its contest with the
people, the repeating act might be vetoed.
The New York Herald of March 8.
1883, said:
Governor Cleveland has made .his
choice as lawyer, as a public officer
and as politician. He has cast his lot
on the side of the great corporations and
corpulate manipulators, and stakcd bis
chances for future political prefermept on
their favor. y X Monopolies of all
kinds have many political
theories in common, the servants of one
are as rule easy to become servants of
the other, and it is quite touching to
witness hopeful presidential candidate
choose his side in the coming struggle
between them and the people for the
control of the powers of government.
On the 9th of March, 1883, The New
York Herald said:
1t is claimed for the Governor in regard
to his action on this bill 1.-THE 5-cent-fare
bill that he is conscientious man and
q great lawyer. 1t would be excellent if
these claims could be reconciled-if it
COLD be shown that the state has in the

GENERAL b. F. BUTLER has notified
the New York sun that he accepts the
nomination for President on the Anti
Monopoly and Greenback tickets, and
that his letter of acceptance will be
given to the public after that of Governor
Cleveland. He evidently proposes to
attack the positions which Mr.. Cleveland
NAV assume. Mr.. Cleveland is practic-
ally the monopoly candidate.

The Buffalo Express, which supported
Grover Cleveland for Governor two years
ago, and congratulated him Immediately
after his nomination for President, now
asks leave to withdraw the congratula-
tons, since neither the Governor nor his
Democratic friends have taken any steps
to contradict the stories put in circulation
about his moral leprosy. The Express
says: I'm all sincerity, for his own sake,
we wish that Mr.. Cleveland had been
defeated at Chicago"

Last Monday evening the officers
and ladies Of Fl. Maginnls, entertained
their many friends Of Maiden, Magin-
mis- and vicinity, with an amateur
theatrical performance.
The plays chosen for the occasion
were "Who's Who and "Betsey Baker"
both light comedies, but containing
many lines and situations requiring
considerable skill and natural ability
for a proper rendition. Though in
rehearsal but n week, the audience
was treated to a taste of the drama
that would have done credit to a cast
having p~retentons Of profess .onals in
the art. Every character was well
taken and the several Lines of the play
ers rendered in an easy, natural
manner. Both plays run smoothly,
thus dispensing with the assistance OF
the prompter.
When the curtain rose the auditor
UNI was filed to its utmost capacity.
by officers, civilians and soldiers, and
as the plays progressed the applause
that greeted the entertainers was FIRE
qqent and hearty, proving conclusiyely
that the entertainment was not only a
pleasure but rendered in a manner
acceptable to all. The band rendered
some choice selections, showing de-
cided improvement.
The enjoyment in the Theatre was of
two hours duration After the enter
talnment, some few of the civilians
and officers participated in a social
gathering at Capt. Miller's quarters,
where the time was most enioyably
spent until Morphia demanded the
homage due him, when the party dis
persed.
All in all, the entertainment, to
which tbs audience was treated, and
the social gathering, was one round of
pleasure, which we hope to participate
in often.

tor the future is brighter than to be

A guest at the Cosmopolitan, Who
has just come in from Belnap, says
that nineteen out Of every twenty OF
the stampeders en- route to the new
mines have only enough money TO take
them to the nearest railroad point, or
at furtherest, into the mines. Then
they have to rustic or starve to death.
Many of chem seem to think that all
they have to do is to so in and pick
up a fortune and then come out. 1t IS
noticeable, too, that while many OF the

The price fixed by the Committee for

of 1915 per 100 lbs sugar. This is the
lowest price as yet reached during the
present crop, and since the Committee met,
the London market has had a fall Of Cd!
At the above price a h02Shead Of sugar
Of 1900 lbs. nett is worth S4l.25. AT the
same period last year the value Of the
hogshead was $G1.35, and in 1882 the
value was $G2.70. In spite of the above
