THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION

We understand that there is considerable dissatisfaction in the Eastern districtof Waukesha county about the apportionment of delegates to the Senatorial convention. The call was made out by the majority of the committee residing in Washington county,and the member from this county, Hon. W. H. FITZGERALD, tells us that he could donothing to change it. Some of the committee called at our office, and our not knowingthat they had agreed already upon the call, we suggested to them a representationby Assembly districts, apportioning to each a number of delegates according to thevote cast at the late election for Grover Cleveland, allowing for each 50 or 100such votes one delegate. A friend from Waukesha county points out to us in a privateletter the great injustice of the apportionment. He says:

"Washington county with her 2874 votes has as many delegates as Ozaukee andWaukesha combined with 4136 votes!" The committee from Washington county thoughtthat they were not authorized to call the convention in any other manner than itwas heretofore when we made the suggestion to them. As Waukesha county has not beenconsulted about the call and our member here could do nothing against the majority,this may lead to another convention on the basis above named, namely:

Washington county: 29 delegates; Waukesha county: 21 delegates; Ozaukee county: 20delegates.

We hope the matter will be settled at or before the holding of the convention atJackson, so that all will be harmonious. Personally we do not care how it is done,if justice and fairness will prevail, so as to give general satisfaction.

The grounds are spaciousand clean, the race course is one of the best in the state, the buildings are newand roomy and the sheds, stalls, and pens are all that could be desired.

The officers of the society are making strenuous efforts to make the exhibition asuccess in every department, and if the weather permits, Cedarburg will be invadedduring the fair by the largest crowd that have ever entered her limits.

Wednesday, Sept. 24 has been named "Children's day". On that day all schoolchildren of the county who come accompanied by their teachers and provided with passes,will be admitted free. Teachers should notify the secretary of the society, at leasttwo days previous to the fair, of the number of his or her pupils that may wish toattend, and the secretary on receipt of such request will send the teacher the necessarynumber of passes. Now teachers, don't forget this, and give the little ones a pleasantand profitable holiday at the "County Fair". The Society has arrangedto furnish the children with plenty of amusements while they are its guests.

Among the many attractions at the fair will be a printing office in full blast settingtype and printing bulletins, cards, etc.

Then there will be music by the excellent Cedarburg Cornet Band, which will giveconcerts during the 24th and 25, and which will be worth going miles to see and hear.

Then there will be the races, nine in number, foot, bicycle, and horse races whichwill occur on the 24th and 25th, and which will cause any amount of excitement andamusement.

"Which will be the best day?" you ask "Why, they will ALL be the best!" There will be exciting races on both the 24th and 25th, and the same show in allthe departments on both of these days. Let "father" and part of the familyattend on the 24th to see the lively races and the fine exhibits of stock grain,fruit, machinery, art, woman's work, etc., and on the 25th let "mother"and the balance of the family attend, witness the races on that day and see the otherdisplays.

Remember that one "membership ticket" will admit the whole family in thefair every day and than an "exhibitor ticket" besides admitting the familyevery day, will allow the owner to exhibit in any and all the departments.

The publishers of The Breeders Gazette, a weekly stock journal published in Chicago,and a leading paper, will send a free copy for the next three months to exhibitorsin the livestock departments, excepting the poultry and speed departments.

The entry books are now open at the Secretary's office at Saukville, where entriescan be made, either by mail or otherwise, previous to the dates of the fair.

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION

Elsewhere, the proceedings of this convention will be found in THE NEWS. The contestwas as spirited as it was friendly, although the county of Ozaukee did not get herquota she was entitled to, which was forty votes instead of thirty, but the unterrifiedOzaukeeans said: "We can win and give you ten votes, we will make no fighton such small matter," and so it proved to be in the end. The correct representationaccording to the last vote cast for Grover Cleveland should have been Washington58, Waukesha 42, Ozaukee 40, while the committee gave Ozaukee only 30 votes.

JACK IS DEAD

"Jack is dead." Many little children are mourning his untimely end. Jackwas a full-blooded fox hound and had been the property of John B. ZAUN, corner Scottand Reed streets, for seven years, or during nearly all of his eventful life. Jackwas a good dog in his time, but of late became so fat that life was a burden to him. He always kept up his custom of following a certain beer wagon on its rounds. Atevery place his coming was watched for by the children of the neighborhood and theyalways had something good for him to eat. In this way, he became a great pet. Thislazy life, however, caused the fat to increase and he weighed 143 pounds. The weightof his body caused his legs to become crippled. A policeman was called and he endedpoor Jack's life by sending a bullet into his brain." - Milwaukee Saturday Star.

We are sorry for poor old Jack. He was raised here by our sons and when about oneyear old, sent him to our old friend and hunting companion, Captain Breed of Chiltonfor his education in the noble sport of hunting deer. We took him back again andhunting being played out in this section of the country, gave him away to our son-in-law,Mr. ZAUN in Milwaukee, where he had the best care in his old age. He was a gooddog and will no doubt be found in the "happy hunting grounds" of the greatHereafter.
