An Honor to Our County.
Waterloo Democrat.

We deem the giving of the Office of at
tOrney general on the democratic ticket
to Geo. W. Bird, of Jefferson, manifes-
tation of great regard from the demo
cratic party of the state towards our
county. Mr. Bird did not desire the
nomination, in fact he wished and urged
the delegates from the First congression-
nj district of which he was chairman,
to cast their votes as unit for j. u
Doe, of Janesville. In spite of his
wishes he was elected on the first
formal ballot, and upon motion was made
the unanimous choice of the convention.
In few words he cordially thanked the
convention for the honor bestowed up
on him and concluded by saying that he
believed it was the duty of every true
democrat to come to the front when duty
called him"
He is known through the state probab-
ly as well as any man in 1T. He was born
and reared in the state and his home and
interests have always been here, he
graduated from the state university IN
1860, and was lieutenant in the 9Th Wis
regiment, serving the time and his coun-
try faithfully, and returning home an
hOnored and respected comrade to all as
sociates. Soon after the war he engaged
in the practice of law at Jefferson, and
was private secretary during Governor
Taylor's administration. He is a lawyer
of great ability, is a man Of true charac-
ter and integrity, and is in every way
qualified to fill the Office of attorney gen
eral of Wisconsin.
We believe we voice the sentiments of
every democrat in the county, when we
say that the democratic state covention
could confer no higher or more pleasing
honor upon the democracy of this coun-
ty than to give Mr.. Bird this position ON
their ticket. The democratic voters VIII
in a measure manifest their appreciation
by giving the ticket a hearty support,
which means a rousing majority on cleo
tion day.

Tile CZ1R,S POLICY.

The semi-oficial denials on the part of Russia
of any intention of occupying Bulgaria mmedl-
atelv are to be credited. The Car, while bent
upon following an aggressive policy in South
eastern Europe, will naturally summon his
military advisers before setting his army in
motion : and they will be certain to counsel de-
Law. No general in the Russian army would
favor march to the Balkan Mountains at the
hecinnipg of winter That army is deficient in
inability under the most favorable conditions.
Its transport service is the worst in Europe.
The staff requires months for preparation De-
fore military movements on large scale can DC
executed. The Cars advisers whom ne Is
bound TO consult before bringing on a Eu-
ronean war, have probably urged the imprac-
ticablity of opening campaign before Aprli or
Nav. Tine interval will be filled with dlplo-
matte evasions and abOrtive negotiations. In
the autumn of 1876 there was general reel
ing thr Dughout Europe that the Russian army
would cross the Danube early in the spring.
The months of dilatory diplomacy, when dis
tipguished ambassadors were talking at the
Constantnople Conference, we're employed by
the Northern Power in active military prepare
tions When good weather for marching and
fighting came, the signal for an advance was
Given. Inacton and diplomacy during the APP
nroacbine winter may have the same Ominous
meaning.
The strongest factor In the present stage OF
the Eastern Question is the Cars will. If Bull
garia be invaded, Austria challenged and Eu-
rope defed. it will be because Alexander I'LL.
angrily insists upon retaining the vantage
ground in the Balkan gained by his father ten
years ago. Prince Alexander was contemptu-
ously driven from the throne because the Gar
had adopted the Inperious policy OF taking the
