The Democratic Convention and Ticket.

Pinney, a well read, but not remarkably popular, lawyer of this city," ia the nominee for Attorney General. The name of the candidate for State Prison Commissioner is variously given to us as Badeau, Bardeau, Bardoe, Bedoe, and he is claimed to be a Norwegian, but is not known among our Norwegian citizens. For State Superintendent the chief recommendation of the candidate, Gannon, was that he was aa Irishman who bad made a successful Superintendent among the Ozaukee Germans. Carried unanimously with cheers, the band in the gallery striking up the "Star Spangled Banner." LIEUTENANT OOVKR.NOR. George B.

Smith moved an informal ballot for Governor and nominated Gen. Milton Montgomery, of Monroe county. A delegate said the delegates of the 3ih district desired to present the name of Alex. Mygatt, of Eau Claire. ON THE DECLINE.

After the call of the roll for vote- had progressed for some time, aud Gen. Montgomery was evidently getting most of the votes, Mr. Smith said it might save time to declare him nominated by acclamation. His partner, Mr. Dickinson, said Mr.

Montgomery did not desire to be nominated for any office. Smith replied that the mocracy wanted him to have it. Mr. Dickinsf 11 declared that he would not accept. Satt Clark said Horatio Seymour, last year, declared he would not accept; but was compelled, aud he thought Montgomery could be persuaded that it was his duty to eccept and could be elected.

W. A. Pors, ol Ozaukee, wanted to know how he was to be prevented from voting for General M. Mr. Sholes thought there were other men, who would accept, and whose nomination would not involve the risk of having a canvass confused by a declination.

Mr. Smith thought when understood the spirit actuating the Conven tionin his nomination, he would notdecline. Mr. Morrow, ofMonroe, as a fr'end and acquaintance, knew Mr. Montgomery was opposed to being nominated, not that he was unwilling to face defeat or shirk duty, but because his business was such that, in the event of his election, he could not accept the position.

He insisted on his withdrawal. Satt. Clark said he was inclined to insist, but, if the nomination would be distasteful to him and against his interests he hoped it would not be forced him. Mr. Smith said the Convention, had something to do besides listening to private wishes.

By telegraph in a short time it could be ascertained whether Montgomery would accept or not Mr. Dickinson cruelly destroyed this last chance of carrying out the programme, by saying Montgomery was at Court in Clark county, beyond the reach ot the telegraph. He was with the Democracy and desired, them, success, but it was inconsistent with his present interests to ac A COOLER. Satt. Clark, at the suggestion of Palmer by his elbow, said that the Milwaukee Musi', cal Society had got up a concert and exhibition ct velocipede riding, for the delegates at the Rink, where they would be glad to see them.

Thereupon A. Cooler ir-quired "What's the price of tickets, Satt?" STATE PRISON COMMISSIONER. Nominations were now presented for the office of State Prison Commissioner. Benj. Armstrong, of Racine, presented the name of J.

R. Davis, as one of a class ignored by the Republicans. L. E. Johnson presented the name of Mr.

Holmen. Mr. Palmer presented the name of Col. M. Badcau, of Oconomowoc, a gentleman long residing in Waukesha county, a promiueut business man of capacity aud integrity, endorsed by the best men of the county, aud ot the portion of the American race called Scandinavians.

George Ilyer presented the name of John II Burns, of Winnebago, an Irishman born in America. A vote was taken, resulting as follows: J. A. Holmen 103 C. M.

Bard eau 75 John U. Burns 20 Louis Rupp 17 J.R.Davis 4 Ole Oleson 4 Total 224 A motion was made to declare Mr. nol-men the nominee, but, amid confusion, Satt. Clark protested, saying that it was affirmed by men from Dodge county who kuew him, that he wts a Republican, in the employ ot the present Commissioner, not such a man as Democrats wanted to nominate. Cries of "sold." On the other hand, Bardeau was a good man, who would give strength to the ticket.

Mr. Wagner said while Holmen had acted with the Republicans, he understood he had declared his intention to act ever after with the Democrats. To take i such men was a good way to make converts. It was the way Republicans had done. (Laughter.) He thought by his nomination a great many Scandinavians weuld be won over to the Democracy.

He heard there was a letter from him. He wanted to hear it. A motion to adjourn was lost. Lars E. Johnson said he knew little about this man.

He had been introduced and recommended to him by Mr. Caen, who vouched for him. He (Holmen) had written Mr. Not a Great Crowd. Many Districts Unrepresented Two Delegates with Tcii otes The Barnacles Still Cling! Palmer, Sat.

Satt. Clark nominated Hon. Latham Sholes. astemporajy and the announcement was received with much applause. Mr.

Sholes was unanimously elected as chairman, and Satt. Clark and George B. Smith were appointed a committee to wait upon and conduct him to the chair, which was accomplished amidst much applause. REMARKS OF MR. SHOLES.

Upon taking the chair, Mr. Sholes said he was profoundly impressed with the favor that bad been bestowed upon him, and he should leave all speech making to the per manent Chairman. lie should iail to do justice to himself and to the people of the city, without respect to party, if he did not extend to the first State Convention that had assembled in the citv a hearty welcome. The times were auspicious of a Democratic triumph. The party in power had been drifting from the old landmarks, lie refer red to the establishment of the Imperialist newspaper in ew lork, and declared that the paper was in sympathv with the Kepuo lican party.

It is for the Democratic party to save the country from the fate of Impe rialism. The doctrines express ed bv that paper threatened the country, and were sufficiently startling in themselves to awaken the angel with his trumpet. The sreat Question is whether this Re public shall be allowed to drift into the sea of Imperialism or not. It wi-nts only the sympathy of the Democratic party to save it. A ieeling of apathy, distrust and hostility had broken out in the Republican, ranks.

Many Republicans were disgusted with their President, with his apathy, his neglect of duties and his wanderings about the country. It was only necessary for the Democracy to take advantage of this state of affairs, to ensure, in November next, a complete triumph. Cheers. On motion Messrs. Cadwallader, of the News, and Bellinghausen, of the See Bote, were appointed secretaries.

When the Convention re-assembled at P. Mr. Sholes being engaged on the committee on resolutions, Sat.

Clark called the Convention to order, and moved that H. L. Talmer be chairman pro tern, and after hearing the affirmative vote only, declared Mr. Palmer elected, without calling for: the negative, proceeding some regarded as a good joke others otherwise. come perfectly evident that no other-banner could displace it in the affections of the people, the Democrats, accepting the situation, in that, as iti other matters, the flag of the Union was profusely displayed in aud about the building, and the "Red, White and Blu.

having ived fast aud ilar colors, were stretched from center to circumference of the hall, as if they had always been favorites with the Democracy and their Southern allies. THE DELEGATES." The committee on credentials reported a list of delegates present, which, after some correction, was adopted. We were unable to procure a copy. It showed considerably less than 200 delegates present, and several districts entirely unrepresented. Two men from Grant County cast ten votes, aud from many districts one man cast ten or more votes, the highest number of votes reached being 240, while a full convention would have cast 266.

As the convention was held in the hot-bed of Wisconsin Democracy, it was more largely attended by the Democratic masses than any we have 6een in some years, but the number of delegates was not so great as to indicate that Milwaukee was any more accessible to Dem" ocrats of the State, generally, than Madison. Among the delegates were recognized many of the same old "barnacles" who hai clung to the Democratic ship so long, and so impeded its same old fuglers who have managed so many different conventions in so any different ways, such men as Sat Clark, J. H. Earnest, II. L.

Palmer, the irrepressible Jones, Goddard, Gif-ftrd, Maxon, Geo. B. Smith, George nyer, C. K. Lord, Dr.

Van Dusen, F. 0. Thorp, John W. Gary, Hudd, et id omne genus, with some such men as Gen. Bragg, D.

W. Bal-lo'u, Abranis and others of the progressive Democracy, who for once had things very much their own way, the old Hunkers manifesting a readiness to do anything, say anything, profess any thing, nominate anybody, that would give them any chance of deceiv-ing the people and winning even a partial victory. PERMANENT OFFICERS, The following permanent officers were reported by the committee and elected J'residerttK. S. BKAGG, of Fond du Lac.

K. Lobd, of the (ith. Secretary S. U. Pinney, of Dane S.

Cadwallader, of Milwaukee A'ews W. Bellinghausen, of Milwaukee Seebote. On taking the chair, General Bragg made a speech of the most progressive character, in favor of accepting negro suffrage aud other doctrines, which the people Have already endorsed, and against which it seemed to him useless to contend. From what we hear of it, it must have considerably stirred the dry bones of the old Democrats, who had been so stubbornly resisting the march of events. They took it quietly, however.

THE PLATFORM. Mr. C. L. Sholes, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, announced a readiness to report, and appearing upon the platform read the following resolutions, for a copy of which we are indebted to the courtesy of the News editors some of which called out considerable applause, others of which seemed ra her unpalatable to to the lnends ot the "constitution as it was:" Hesolved, That the unity of the nation and the permaceLce of republican institutions depend upon the subordination of the government to the popular will, upon the cheerful and implicit obedience of rulers and people to law, upon the reservation to the several States of the sacred and imperishable right to local self-government, upon the unalienable right of citizens to life and lib-' erty, upon freedom of speech and of the press, and upon a rigidly henest and economical application of the public revenues; and that we uolemnly protest against those acts ot the party By which these fundamental conditions of national freedom and prosperity have been repeatedly and ruthlessly violated.

lltsolved. That we entertain the most grateful remembrance of those true and noble men who laid down their lives in defense of the integiity of the Union, and that we will ever cherish the highest admiration of the living who have survived the shock of arms. Resolved That the financial disorder and depression apparent to all business men, the corruption which confessedly attends the administration ot the laws, the ingerious and burdensome system of taxation by which enterprise is paral-ized aLd the vast surplus wealth of the State is fruitlessly squandered and consumed are evils which demand of partisanship, more ot statesmanship, a purer morality in onr rulers, and a radical reform in the administration of the State and Federal Governments. Resolved, That the continued and persistent lm fiosilion upon the people of the tariff laws pyowed-y designed to tax the masses of thepeopleflor the benefit of the accumulated capital of the eastern States, whereby millions of dollars are annually abstracted from Wisconsin without any corresponding gain to the common government, is a wanton and intolerable abuse of ledoral power, for which the only effective remedy is the complete union of tho friends of free labor aud our domestic industry at the ballot box. Resolved, That we lament that chronic infirmity of the dominant party by which the exercise of its long-cont inued and abundant power to adjust the burden of taxation by revisions and modifications from time to time of the tariff and other revenue laws" is limited to pretensious confessions of the con equences of its own misrule; and to periodical resolutions deploring the evi.s which it persistently reluses to abolish.

Ilesolved. That we believe the honor and welfare cf the nation alike require the rapid and complete extinction of the national debt by the full payment of the Drincinal and interest thereof in exact ac cordance with the terms of the contract between the government and its creditors, but that we oppose with all the influence at our command, the ill-disguise efforts of the party in power to convert the debt into a permanent burden for the ag grandizement of special classes, by discriminating legislation against the people and the lesser creditors of the government in behalf of incorporated capital. Resoivea, unat tne pumic aveoues on wnicu move the commonest products of the states, are the highways to wealth and the general prosperity of the people; that kindred with the numerous improvements that have received the protection 01 tne general government, me nuis oi enlarging the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, in order to secure a permanent channel of water communication between the great lakes and the Mississippi; that we ask the aid of tl general government for this purpose, and in addition, will unite with our sister states of the West equally to be benefitted with Wisconsin in securing the completion of the same as a matter of state enterprise should the general government fail to aid us therein; and that the continuous failure of the party in power afier many years of ample opportunity to contribute effective legislativo aid to this enterprise, leads ua to doubt its sincerity or its capacity to fulfill its professions. Resolvtd, That we protest against the narrow partisanship and pervading greed for spoil which characterizes all the Mifltrbnees surrounding our state government, against the exaction of exhobi-lant lees in the state departments, and against that indifference to the burdens of the people which compels the taxpayers to contribute the enormous sum of nearly one million dollars per annum lor the support of the state government and its partisan dependents. Resolved, That the Democratic party of Wis- consin rejoices in the extinction of slavery; in the prompt and general acquiescence of the Southern people in the results of the war; in every well-directed effort lor the enlightenment and elevation of oppressed humanity at home and abroad, and in every measure compatible with good government and public order, to broaden tho basis of suffrage and extend the blessing of free institutions all classes of people; and that in strict fidelity to this spirit of progress and patriotism, we de- plore the many and inexcusable infringements of our national congress upon the liberty oi the citizen and tho freedom of the ballot; its failure to re cognize the equitable right of foreign born residents to an early participation in the privileges of the ballot box, on terms as liberal ns those prescribed by the Democratic constitution of Wisconsin; its constant effort to burden labor and encourage monopoly, and its covert purpose to centralize and enlarge the powers of the Federal Government.

The resolutions were adopted unanimously, though we heard some mutterings of dis- jiOcteut, as for instance, from a German del-gate, who said, Dey is mix tod many tarn tings togedder." AN EMIGRATION RESOLUTION. The committee also reported the following resolution relative to the encouragement of immigration, identical with that adopted by the Republican Convention Whereas, The people of this State have an interest in common with those of the other north- to 1 an the was has for nee Daily, $10.00) Tri-Weekly, 1 "Weekly, $2.00.

Dated September 4th, 1SC0. Vermont Election. The Star that never Sets" still 6hines over the Green Mountains. There is not a Democrat elected to the Vermont Senate, and but 30 Democrats to 200 Republicans in the Douse. Democratic Candidate for Governor.

The nomination, by the Democrats, ol Col. Ciiaflks D. Robinson for Governor, is a tub thrown to the frisky young Democratic whale, to prevent said fish from butting its head through the lotten bottomed old Deni-' ocratio hulk and sinking it. Great was the grief, and loud the moanings of the ancient mariners, when they saw the antics of this eccentric fish. All the voiceless barnacles crept along the slimy planks.

in terror, and the rats in the hold turned gray with fright. Col. "Robinson was nominated over the heads of the old Democrats who have never faltered, and who dislike him because he 'is weak in the back. lie is a gentleman of ability and of great "popularity," which has been carefully cultivated "by 'the 'Green Bay Advocate for fifteen years, with express reference to this noJnination. lie has personal friends in the Republican party and enemies in the Democratic ranks.

His Democratic enemies will probably vote for him; but only the young Democrats will work hard. Ail the Republicans he gets to vote for him, outside of Brown county, can be carried at one load in a small omnibus. The Democrats will deny thfs iiow; but they will admit it in November. His political record suits no one, and it is with this that we have now to deal. It is public property and must be candidly examined for the public good.

We shall not resort to personal detraction. "We have said good things about the Colonel, particularly concerning his letters from Europe, and intend to say some better things about those that he will probably write from over the water next year. As a politician he has been as vacillating as a weather-cock. lie belongs to the class known in England as "trimmers." There are very few of them in this country, for the reason that such politicians are very unpopular with our people. Americans like a reliable and steadfast man, above all things.

A man must be on one side or the other of all political fences if he desires to have any political strength. A man who has worn out his pantaloons in sliding on to the political fence, and over it, and back again, only exposes himself to ridicule. The politician who sins against light is not easily forgiven by the people, and is seldom trusted with power. He will be beaten because he is regarded by "many as the best man tho Democrats could put up, and he will therefore stir up the Republicans to bring out their entire vote, which is sure death to Democracy in all its forms. Adopting phrase usual on occa.

sions like this, we can say that we like the Colonel, and dislike his politics, and though he travelled out of his way to say a bitter thing of U3 the other day, we forgive him with all our heart, when we think what he is to suffer next November. Death' of William Pitt lessenden. Senator Fessendkn died yesterday-. He as born in Boscawen, Merrimack New Hampshire, October 16', 1806. He graduat ed at Bowdoin College when he was seven teen years of age, and "was-admitted to the bar at the ase of twentv-one.

He removed to Portland, Maine, forty years ago, when he was twenty-three years of age, and has practiced law there ever since, jrb.en.not engaged in public affairs. He was many times elected to the Legislature. Jn 1840 he was elected to Congress. At the expiration of his term he returned to the practice of his profession. He was afterwards elected to the Legislature and was always an uncompromising Whig while that party was in existence, and consequently did not get into the V.

S. Senate, although he was the candidate of his party. In 1854, however, when the free-soil element got control of affairs, he was elected U. S. Senator, and on the night of March 3, 1854, delivered in the U.

S. Senate, one of the greatest speeches of his life, and one of the best speeches made against the infamous Nebraska bill. This speech established his reputation as one of the ablest members of the Senate. He has been U. S.

Senator ever 6ince, with the exception of the time he was in the Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. He was called the ablest debater in the Senate, nis features are made familiar to all by the picture of him which appears on the twenty-five cent fractional currency. He was a statesman of great ability, and his death will be a great loss to the country. A Qnestlou A Democratic editor located in the southwestern part of the State, in an article concerning the Democratic candidates for Governor, asked the following question a few weeks since Is this Charley IlolimotCs Democratic We have been patiently waiting for the action of the Milwaukee Regency Convention before we dared 10 decide. We now reply to our Democratic brother's question, with much emotion, that this is Democratic year until after election.

3 Messrs. Sholes aud Palmer, representatives of renegade Republicanism and Hun-kei Demociacy, which" had embraced each other, about this time promenaded in front of the platform, arm in arm, in close and loving converse. NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR. Mr. Iludd, of Brown, moved to proceed to an informal viva voce ballot for Governor.

Councillor 0'Sullivan, of Milwaukee, moved that a committee of three lroin each congressional district be appointed to retire and consult together as to the best names to be nominated by this' convention. Loud cries of "No, no," so nearly unanimous that the motion was withdrawn. The President, correcting Mr. Hudd's motion, put the question of proceeding to an informal viva voce vote for Governor, which was carried unanimously. Mr.

John W. Cary, of Milwaukee, presented the name of N. D. Fratt, of Racine, widely known throughout the Stateaman who was the architect of his own fortunes, one of the people, who support themselves by their own labor, one of the principal farmers of Racine, where he had resided some 20 years, and stood so well that he had been elected toHhe Senate from thatRepub lican county, a man well qualified to discharge the duties of the office, and worthy of support. Peter Gifford, of Waukesha, presented the name of B.

R. Hinckley," a substantial farmer and a man of high character, well and favorably known through ihe State. Charles Hoeflinger, of Marathon, presented the name of Charles D. Robinson. Great applause.

A delegate presented the name of Gabriel Bouck, of Oshkosh, whereupon George Hyer said he had a letter from Mr. Bouek declining to be a candidate for that or any other nomination. The PresidentThe name of Gen. Bouck is withdrawn, by authority. James H.

Earnest presented with no feeling of opposition to any other man on behalf of the delegates from the Third District, the name of David W. Jones, of Iowa, as a proper man to be nominated for Governor. He felt a pride in him, but did not believe anything he could say would add to his value as a sound Democrat and an efficient officer. No man ever left the office of Secretary of State with a better name. The convention proceeded to vote, Carl Zillier leading off for Robinson, and several others following with the same name.

After a time the names of Fratt and others were heard occasionally. Mr. Gordon, of the Democrat of this city, voted for Hinckley. Goddard gave two votes for Satt. Clark, at which a few hisses were heard.

The two delegates from Grant county cast ten votes for Jones. It was apparent that Robinson had much the largest number of votes. Secretary Pinney announced the result as follows -C. D. .136 Is.

It was very true that he was not his choice, but he came here to forget past differences, to let the dead bury the dead, to do the best he could to enable the Democratic party to restore the people to their original prosperity. He was not disposed to let any old prejudices govern Upon the action, of this convention, it depends whether the Democracy shall get control of the' State Government. Believing that Mr.

Robinson would run thousands of votes ahead of any other man, and that many who had voted in the ballot just hpd for others as their personal choice, would readily acquiesce, her would move that Mr, Robinson be declared the unanimous nominee of. the Conven tion. Mr. Cary said he had his personal preference in Mr. Fratt, believing him a strong man, under whose -'leadership the State could, be redeemed, and because he thought it policy JQ nominate hini on account of his popularity and strength in a Republican If Mr.

Robinson' was thought to be stronger, he was ready to support him, and seconded the motion to declare him unanimously nominated. Mr. Earnest concurred. He had presented another name, but his' judgment had been overwhelmed, and he would cordially submit! George Smith wanted to say a word or two. He had voted for Mr.

Robinson, because he believed him a representative man, stand on the platform adopted, and an upright' henest man. He had not always agreed with the Democratic- pWrty; but it was the true policyat the present tinie, to accept affairs as they are now, and deal with them as best we Mr "Robinson was. old Democrat and a true Democrat, one whose heart beat in unison. with the rights and interests of the people. If he bal sometimes been mistaken, so had others.

Let by-gones be by-gones, and let us show that the Democraticparty is ageneroug and nob party, and by this nomination let us show that we open the doors to all men, who, like liim, felt it their duty to leave the party for a time, and iuvite them to return to field. -It is the duty of the Democratic party to remember that, during the last seven years, there had been a revolution and many changes had taken place. Without endorsing the changes, let the situation be accepted. Many things have been done, which can't be undone in a day. Time will show whether what the Democracy opposed wise and well.
