The Second District Democratic
convention to nominate a member of
congress, assemblies at Concordia Opera
house In this city to-day at noon.
Nearly all the delegates have already
arrived. The principal candidates,
Rogers, of Jefferson; Barwig, of Dodge.
and Bushnell, of Dane, are on the
ground, each with determination in
his eye. But Barwig. the Mayville
man, will doubtless be the winner.

Three or four copper-colored and
pestilential smelling females, couple
OF them having unkempt and unclean
babies strapped to their backs, travers-
ed the streets yesterday for all there
was in it in the shape of financial aid,
Music from little organs could be had
by the donors, if desired, which was in
most of cases refused, as all thev met
were chiefly interested in their moving
on, fearing a visitation of bacillas. /

claimed would take place. But The
Gazette will please tell why 400 Demo
Gratis IN Fort Atkinson should count for
more than 300 Democrats in the city of
Waterto~n. Will The Gazette assert
that 1t is on account of difference in
kind? The Gazette will not admit that
the Fort boys are any more dyed-in-
the-Wool or possessed of any frmer
faith as Democrats than the Watertown
members of the Democratic fold. Still,
Tor some reason, half a Democrat in
| Fort Atkinson counts equal to a Demo-
crat of full stature in Watertown. In
other words, half Democratic vote in
Fort Atkinson counts as much as an
| entire Democratic vote in Watertown.
While Fort Atkinson had the senator
ship she was always provided with a
county Office beside, that of district at
torney falling to her lot most of the
time; and then gaze upon Jefferson,
the meek and modest Jefferson, if you
| please, and see the lions share of coun-
ty official pap which she had while
DR.. w. w. Reed filed the office of SEN
ator Republics, it was said of old,
were ungrateful, but for the length,
breadth and depth of ingratitude COM
