CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON, June %, 1884.
The Democratic State Convention
held here last week for the selecting
of delegates 20 the National conven-
ton of that party, was unusually
full, and embraced the leading
Badger lights of "the unterrifed;"
which is to be accepted as an indi-
cation that they have some faith
that the spoils may be at their dis
posal, as a result of the National
election. The delegation chosen is
said to favor TiIden's nomination,
provided he will accept-with an
undisguised hope that he will de
cline. After Tilden has been com
phmented, the delegates, it is indi.
Gated, will divide between Cleveland
and Flower, the latter taking a ma
jority, of course, as he has the larger
bar'l to open.
In view of the loud and unremit-
ting protestations OF the Democracy
against the oncroachments of cor
porations in public affairs, it pro
vokes comment that the party should
select rs its representatives at large
SO many railroad lawyers. Villas and
Morrow are regularly retained at
toueys Of the c. Il y. w. II. K
while jenkins and Bragg are usually
found in the same service. Hon.
Matt Anderson called attention to
this peculiar fact in the convention,
and made a strong plea for recog
milton of the agricultural interests
10y the selection of Hon. N. -.
Fratt. But tho plea was UNDECIDED,
and the four attorneys elected ON
the first ballot. Perhaps the "anti-
monopoly" organs can persuade the
people that the selection was a mere
accident having no significance;
that Democratic representatives Of
great corporations are safer to trust
with the peoples interests than Re
puhlieans, but We have more respect

homes a great many OF the migratory
birds, aud that such country, which

and cold atmosphere on the heights,
dotted by lakes and covered by a net
work of rivers, rivulets, brooks and
brooklets, and blessed with the fruits
of both hot and cool temperature, and
has many creatures peculiarly its own,
needs no expatiatior. The birds, for in
stance, encountered here are stated to
represent 600 species. There are no
eagles, so 10 say, but three kinds of
hawks, the same number of buzzards,
or carrion crows, and six different
marauders 1T night. The sparrow
family is the dominant in the land, for
it numbers 40 species. The calibri,
or humming- bird, is found in thirty-six
species, belonging to twenty-eight
genera. In the parrot family eight
species are known rs Auroras, all of
brilliant and metallic plumage. The
quetzal or quesal, the most beautiful
and striking of all the Guatemala
birds, and which stands on top of the
States escutcheon, forms genus by
itself. 1t inhabits the highest noun
tains, particularly in Verapaz. but that
relentless tyrant, fashion, penetrates
its craggy fastness, butchers it unmer-
cifully and ornaments her silly person
with the borrowed plumage. Several
hundred of them are thus slaughtered
every year. OF the hooded parrots
there are eight, while the common
ones, called loros, are divided into
fourteen species. Among the songstors
the pitoreal, small, black bird living
on bananas, plantains and similar
fruits, and bling our catbird, is con-
sidered the finest, and called the night
'ngale of the country. In the gallina-
ceous order. one may mention the pau
jill. n magnificent wild creature, quail
in makeup. turkey in size, and pleas
ant in color, with q long. slightly
curved and round-pointed bill and
crest consisting of fine black and
white speckled feathers, of which the
first is five and the last is three inches
in length. When caught quite young
it is easily tanned and contented in the
poultry-yard, but in the first and sec
ond pairing season is sure to steal
silently away into the wilderness.
The turkey of the Cordilleras, called
pavo de cacho, is peculiar to the high
est volcanic SUBMITS. Singularly, the
turkey of Peten is confined to that
region, and is of distinct species. OF
cartridges and quails there are seven,
and of pigeons seventeen species, not
counting the sea-pigeons, waders, as
the heron, crane, shite-poke, sandpiper,
snipe, woodcock, curlew, wigeon and
rail or water hen, are believed to have
more than 2j0 species. There is also a
variety among the web-footed bird.

"PT1ncipIes Not Men" En-

The Democrat is respectfully in.
vited to explain why it is that the
Wisconsin democrats favor Tilden's
nomination, if, as it would have us
believe, that party cares more for
principles than men? A short time
ago the free trade organs were loud
for Mcdonald or Morrison as repre-
sentatives of their idea of tariff re-
form. Later we hear nothing of
these as democratic candidates for
the presidency, but a great deal
about Tilden, Flower and Cleveland.
Why is this thus? These latter
named gentlemen are not recognized
as representatives of our neighbours
hobby, and not one of them ever
manifested deep sympathy for the
Morrison tariff bill, SO far as the
world is advised. The democratic
state convention last week declared
positively for tariff for revenue
only, and expressed great regret
over the defeat of the Morrison hor-
izontal measure, and then proceeded
to elect delegation favorable to the
nomination of Tilden, who, Mr..
Morrison himself says, is one of the
crowd of democrats responsible for
the cruel decapitation of that dear
bill. Even Carlisle is rep.
resented as saying that Tilden and
Sam Randall are in harmony on the
tariff question. Sam Randall and
the Wisconsin democracy are as
much at variance on the tariff ques-
ton as it is possible for them to be,
yet they are agreed in support of
Tildenl why SO? Is it because
they think he is the strongest candi-
date? Clearly it is. Then what
in them to claim that they
are governed only by principlel
With free trade candidate, on
free trade platform they could not
hope to carry New York; without
New York they surely cannot win
Therefore they are going to put a
New York protectionist, on "reve-
nue. only" platform, hoping to get
the votes of New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut on account of the
protection candidate, and the votes
of other states on account of their
platform. .'Princi-
plies not men" is good, especially as
illustrated by Wisconsin democracy. |

to the majority of lawful votes cast
without the interposition of force
and fraud. The vote, as they declar-
ed it, was the honest vote, with Re
publican majorities. Tilden was
not defeated by fraud. lie was de-
feated by the detection and exposure
Of fraud, and by the correction of a
count made in fraud.
