Special telegram to State Journal 1 Elkhors, Sept 15 The republican first district congressional convention met in Wilcox. It was called to order by F. W. Btarbuck, of Racine, secretary of the district committee. James Cavanagh, of Kenosha, was elected chair man, and L.

With three candidates In the field. L. B. Caswell, of Jefferson, T. D.

of Walworth, and 11. C. Uoeptr.ct lUcine, there is much speculation about what may be done ia the convention. The delegates chosen at the Rock county rtpub- ican convention day before yesterdsy were firm adherents ot u. v.

taswell, which will gire him a total of nineteen votes, while twenty are required to nomi nate. Weeks has toe unci viced support of Walworth county, and Cooper lhat of Kenosha and Racine. Ine nht promises to be interesting. We ks, It Is said, can hold bis forces together, snd possibly draw support from Jefferson and Rock: couota tbat Cooper will not receive. With this view, his chances of getting the nomination are considered fair, a it is safe to say tbat Caswell will not do anything to assist Cooper.

i mi circular nsa an ecect quite contrary to that intended by its signers. It at once arowsed a feeling ol intense an-tagonism towards Jonas. Indignation was freely expressed on every hand, that a small group of Milwaukee socialists, labeling themselves "the labor party," should presume to dictate to the democracy of Wisconsin, and a determination to have nothing to do with Jonas undei any consideration, was the tenor of the conversation. Up to that time, Jonas had undoubtedly been the favorite, after Bouck's withdrawal, but his fool friends had done their best to kill him off. Up to the hoar of opening the convention, the name of ex-Congressman Woodward, of La Crosse, elicited the warmest enceni- ums ia and around the csnrention hall.

TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. CAIXSD TO At 12 P. Chairman W. A. Walker of the state central committee called the democratic state convention to order.

The auditoriam was about two-thirds filled, with aome twentj.five persons in the galleries. Chairman Walker read the call uader which the convention had met, and on his motion, D. 8. Rose, of Darlington, was made TXMFORABT CHAIRMAH Mr. Rose Is a tall, slender young man, with a leng head and a pleasant, intelligent face adorned by a Napoleonio moustache and goatee.

In a loud, metallic voice, smacking cf the academy style of mechanical elocutionary fluctuation, te delivered a long address from manuscript It was decidedly of the Henri Watterson cast of rhetoric, filled with platitudes and glowing imagery. His references to Cleveland, Vila, Bayard, Lamar, Bragg and Tilden were received with prolonged applause, but the names of Hendricks and Seymour fell flat on the ears of the delegates, though a few old-timers tried very hard to get up a ronnd of stamping at the mention of The speaker opened by alluding to the fact that though beaten nearly every time for nearly a quarter of a century past, the Wisconsin democracy atill come up to atate convention aa smiling and hopefnl as ever. The democratic party is, he alleged, the particular enemy of corruption, dishonesty, intrigue, monopoly, "organized capital aad centralis itioa, aad seeks constantly to redeem the pledges it has so freely given." He continued in tbe following strain: Uader tbs leadership of tbe sapiens genlsa, tbs conservative, balanced judgment, lb fearless, lndabloas will of tbs splesdld Cleveland, backed by tbs collected, pradent counsels, the smioect abilities aad tbe unimpeachable integrity cf a Lamar, Bayard aad Vilas applause, aad tbe other grand leminartee of his magnificent cabinet, the nation has been cantioaaly, almost im-perceptibly, led from a regime of fraud, extravagance andcorrapUoa Into aa administration of acknowledged honesty, reform aad economy, so carefally has tbe transition coaseo. Bent npoa tbe change in the administration of government beea effected, tbat tbs bosom of the great com-Korcial ocean has scarce beea broken by a riffle, aad tbs Intricate macbiaery of boslners has a offered bo perceptible Changs. Tbs dismal prophecies aad dire predictions fur tbs future welfare of the conntry la tbe event of democraUe success, so recklessly Indulged by tbe republican party, bars melted away tike vapor mists, before tbe spirit of coitdesee sad complacent faith engendered by tbs reformations of tbs new administrations.

Within oar owa ranks dissensions have grown aad matterings of discontent bavs la tar bed tbe tranq.uL.tty and harmony of party orgaaiaatlen, consequent apoa tbs eeemUg tardlnees of the administration ta making official changes, bat the results bars in spired implicit faith asd confiding trust In tbs admirable for eslgbt and profound wisdom of our party leaders. Two years bavs brought to reall-xatioa hopes loeg deferred, and witnessed prodigious transformations In tbe political world, but no nation on the face of tbe globe can eplto-mize more Important events crowded within tbe narrow confines of short a period than our own loved land of political freedom. Tbs party, tbs speaker said, bad suffered great loases, If cClellaa, TUdea, Hendricks, but there Is much excellent material la it. Tbe party Is to day the only guanine advocate of popular rights aad aatkmal develepmeat. As for tarlif, that party Is already committed to tbe doe tr lass cf tartl for reveaae only, aad tbs pabllo leads for sctaal settlers of A mar lean dttaenshlp.

Against tbe ports's of tbs national treasury bars beea buried poadcroos petltioas foe unearned subsidies, but they have beea answered only by the echoes ef their own muttered maledictions. Paclfis mall companies launched tbe arreva of their spleen against the armor-clad champions ot honeety, aad ao brighter peasant Buttered ta the phalanx than that of onr own Tans. Nobly, honorably, proudly has the democratic party carried out its platform aad redeemed tts pledges, and ail appreciative people unprejudiced by pension or political scruples will abundantly testify to their high esteem for the reJormatlces effected by the new admlalstratiott. With tbs laboring classes the SemocfsUt party has always beea in eoaeonaaee. Believing that capital ia bet the product of labor, ws tweogmlse the tolling laborer as tbs plUar ef oar aaUoaal prosperity.

acouRHrcL, GATHxarsa. At the Park hotel last night there were few indications of the approaching dem ocratic stale convention. Not more than half ot the delegates were oa hand, but it was expected that the rest would arrive on morning trains. The convention includes ia its membership some of the most prominent wheel-horses ia the state, and there is a marked absence cf young men. The moet picturesque figure ia the hotel corridors is ex-Governor Kelsoa Dewey, the first chief executive of the state, who, after thirty years cf political retirement, is once more cultivating the flowers that grow on the party wall, and running as candidate for the assembly ia Grant county district.

Cocgressmsn Brsgg, who has just Oven defeated for re- nominatlon, is here as a delegate, fresh from the Waukesha deadlock. Fred Horn, cf Ozaukee, who is the exact phys ical counterpart cf the late Louis Napoleon, is oa hand, and expected, last night, to occupy his old-time position ss chairmaa cf the committee oa platform. The state central committee was ta aes- tioa from 8 P.M. until after midnight, General Bragg had brought with him a letter from Gabe Bouck, of Oshkosh, de claring in three brief lines la his well- known angle-worm chLrcgrspby that he "could not and would not accept the nomination for governor." It having been agteed npoa all hands, that Gabe was to hsve this nomination, and all the other little candidacy schemes having beea arranged with deference to this, the declination was like a shock cf lightning from aa unclouded sky and knocked all plans into pi. The committee wrestled with this fact and ia fixing up aa outline of a platform, but the proceedings are under, stood to have beea characterized by bad humor and general mournfulneas.

A THHXAT FBOM THB SOCIALISTS. The following circular was liberally distributed this morning among the delegates, and a copy placed in each chair ia the assembly chsmber: ADCUtl Or TBS ailWACUI OOCKTT LAJKa CeXXTTTKB.
