THIRD BALLOT.


Mr.. j. M. Day having received ma
jority Of all the votes cast, was on mo-
ton declared the unanimous choice of
the convention, as the Republican can
didate for member of assembly.
The following district central COM
mittee was elected:
L. Carrier, Chairman, Boscobel; Jno
Montieth, Fennimore. r. Nj. Day, Mt.
Hope.
Boscobel, by vote of twcnty-one to
eighteen, was selected as the place to
hold the next Assembly District Con-
vention, and the convention adjourned.
After the adjournment of the conven-
ton, the crowd assembled at the speak
ers' stand, which had been erected out
of doors; and DIR. W. l.. Brown, as pre-
siding officer, introduced
II. NJ. LA TOILETTE,
Republican candidate for congress in
this district, who had promised to attend
the meeting, but who had only been
able to do SO by disregarding the advise
of his physician. Having caught a Sc
we're cold which had settled upon his
lungs. on reaching Fennimore Mr.. La
Toilette had been obliged to retire to
his room, and summon Dr. Brown. He
found himself quite unequal to the task
of making a speech, but before retiring
from the stand, he succeeded in convin.
cling the audience that he is made of the
right kind of timber, and promised tc
return and address them before the
close of the campaign.
The chairman then introduced Hon.
l.. j. Clawson, of Monroe, who made a
stirring speech, in which he confined
himself chiefly to the tariff issue. The
speech was well received. and at it
close the crowd adjourned to meet
again ut the Hall in the evening.

In the libel suit Of James g. Blaine
against the indianapolis Sentinel. in
the United States District Court Mt
indianapolis, last Friday, Mr. Blaine's
attorneys flied answers to the question
propounded on Sept. ), in which Mr.
Blaine, under oath, answers in
straightforward and manly way, With
out any equivocation, each and all of
the question propounded. The follow
ing answers 10 heterogeneous rs and 9,
throws light upon the question Of Mr..
Blaine's marriage, out of which has
grown columns Of vile Democratic

was married in Millersburg, KY,
on the 30th Of June, 1850, in the pre-
scnce of Sarah {. Stanwood and S H.

Having doubt subsequently of lis val
lidity under the laws of Kentucky, which
then stringently required license from
the clerk OF the county court, had the
marriage solcmnized a second time in
Pittsburg, Pa, on the Doth of March
1851, in the presence of John Y. Le-
moyne and David Bell.
1t will be remembered, that by the
ruling Of the Court, it was left optional
with Mr.. Blaine to answer the intcrrog-
atories or not, as he should see fit; and
the straightforward, honest, manly way
in which he meets the vile traducers Of
his loved and honored wife, now a
grandmother, must excite the admira-
ton of even his btterest enemies; or at
least that portion of them who are
capable of admiIing and honorng true

The present state of the sugar-market,
as everybody knows, is so unsatisfactory,
THAI it might well cause apprehension as
10 the possibility of continuing the cult
walton Of the article in this island, at least
as it has hitherto been carried on, If it was
left out of sight, that beet root sugar, our
formidable enemy and the real cause of
the existing low prices, can as little be
produced without considerable expenditure,
and is as much exposed to the risks and
ViCisSiludes of weather and other accidents
as the cane. Besides which it is not every
soil i'll France, Germany and other c"un-
tries, producing bertrOot sugar, that is
equally favourable for The production, and
a limit must be reached where the business
becomes a losing one and must sop, Or at
least cease to extend.
That his limit has been reached, seems
to be proved by an article i'll a German
paper, he WeStpr. Mittheil, reproduced in
the Copenhagen NGtiOnaltidende, i'll which
the question is treated at length, of the
prOprlety OF erecting new factories, and
ends with an urgent appeal to put a stop
to the further extension. The German
paper states tue number Of factories eSlab-
lished during the last year, 1888, at between
fifty and sixty, and goes on to examine first,
whether the teUeriSh eXertionS to draw a
profit from the production of beetrOot
sugar will not lead to a fatal reaction at
the cost of all factories not grounded on a
perfectly firm basis. Stress is laid upon
the fact, that the large profit got ftOm the
production of beetrOOt sugar in well quail
fed districts has led to similar establish
ments in places where the necessary condi-
tons were wanting. The enormous pro-
duction caused hereby exceeds already by
