From THE RErUBLICAN's forecast
we see the democratic convention is

THE selection of Benz. |. Salinger,
Esq, of Manning, for permanent chair
man of the republican state convention
was an agreeable surprise, though
there is nothing in the line of the
gentlemau's attainments which should
cause surprise as he is deserving of
whatever his honorable ambition may
desire. Mr.. Sllinger cemented the
friendship Of Dolliver when he presid-
ed so successfully at the famous Tenth
district congressional convention of
last year, and in that friend doubtless
found q stepping stone to the higher
honor of last Thursday. Mr.. Silinger's
speach upon taking the chair was
characteristic and won hearty applause
and personal eongratulation aastilted.
lie has done good and gratuitous work
for the party in both natioua! and state
campaigns and thus far has gracefully
declined all reward in the way of Official
honor& 1t may be however, that when
strubls has laid eff the congressional
toga it the Big Eleventh Mr.. Sasinger
will be found a resident Of Sioux City
and available for the succession.
