The surprising thing ia that his old contest-

nominated.
B. M. Long, one of the leading Republi
cans of the Seventh Congressional district
of Alabama, has announced himself os an
independent candidate forCongreas, against
W. II. Bankhead, the Democratic nominee.
Ont of 119 Democratic Congressional
candidates thus far nominated, 55 were
members of the last Congress. Ont of 77
Republican candidates, 44 were renominat

Congressman Tbos. A. Robertson, of the
Fourth district of Kentucky, ia a philoso
pher. Being defeated for a renomination
in the Democratic primaries by the Hon. A.
B. Montgomery, he accepts tho situation
like a man, and says: “I am for Alexander
Montgomery for Congress, and hope his
majority will bo as big as mine was two
years ago.” He says, "there is nothing
small abont me but the vote I got, and it
was large enough for ordinary occasions."
The election in Wisconsin this fall is the
moat important that ever occurred In an off
year. Heretofore all the State officers have
been elected in the odd-nnmbered years,
beginning with 1819 and ending in 1883,
In 1884 a constitutional amendment was
adopted providing that State officers shonld
after that time he elected in the even-nnm-
hared years, and the terms of the then State
officers, which would have expired Decem
ber 31, 1885, were extended to December
31, 1886, In consequence there will be
elected this year in Wisconsin a fnil set of
State officers, nine members of Congress,
half of the State Senate, all the members of
the Assembly, and county officers of every
oonnty. The Iiogislatnre to be elected this
year will also choose a United States Senator
to succeed Pbiletna Sawyer.

Cmcaoo, September 16.—Tho first na
tional convention of anti-taloon Republi
cans began its session in this city to-day.
The convention was held in Madison Street
Theatre; when calied to order, there were
abont three hundred delegates on the lloor.
A few ladies and gentlemen were in the
gallery. Senator Blair, of Now Hampshire,
was made temporary chairman. On taking
the chair, Blair said:
“We are here for tho destruction of tho
rum traffic throughout this country and
throughout the world. I think I spenk the
sentiment of the convention when I say
that as between free rum and license, we
are in favor of high license (cheers); that
•i between high license and prohibition,
e ore in favor of prohibition." [Great
cheering. ]
Blair went on to say that they also mot
i Republicans. They were in the party
and could not be driven out, and ho was
one of those who believed that it was only
throngh the Republican party that the sup
pression of the liqnor traffic could be se
cured.
The committee on credentials found 287
accredited delegates present, aa follows:
Illinois 40, Iowa 20, Kansas 30, Indiana
118, Maine 1, Vermont 9, New York 6,
Rhode Island 7, Michigan 4, Wisconsin 11,
Massachusetts 12, Nevada 1, Minnesota 15,
Texas 2, Dakota 1, Pennsylvania 1, Ohio 1,
New Jersey 8, New Hampshire 2.
Ex-Senator Windom, of Minnesota, was
made permanent chairman. Windom said
he never had the slightest thought of at
tempting to organize a new political party,
and did not believe snob a thought entered
the mind of any delegate present. Tho
speaker said tho record of tho Republican
party for twenty years showed its willing
ness to grapple this new issne and carry it
to viotory. Tho issue was as grave as any
that the Republicans had ever to meet in
tbe past. It resolved itself into the question
whether the saloon was to dominate the
politics of tbe nation. “We do not
meet to dictate to the Republican
party," said the spoaker. “We are
here simply for consultation. We
meet to encourage the party to take hold
of this question, wbioh it will surely have
to do, and tbe soonor the better."
He spoke for thirty minutes on the gen
eral issne. He touched on the prohibi
tionists, and said it was his view that they
could carry out their purposes in n better
way in following the lead of the Republi
can party. They wonld find that
that party bad said that slavery
should extend no further, and on
that platform slavery was absolutely abol
ished. H the Republican party would de
clare for high license, local option, and rec
ognizing the right ot the people to vote on
the question directly, when they wished to
do bo, all lovers of temperance should fol
low that lead.
Tho committee on resolutions reported
the following: The antl-Raloon Republicans,
by their representatives in national confer
ence assembled, do declare as follows:
First—That tho liquor traffic, ns it exists
to-day in tho United States, is an enemy of
socioty, a fruitful source of corruption in
politics, an ally of anarchy, tbe school of
crime; and with its avowed pnrpouof reek
ing to corrnptly control elections and legis
lation, is a menace to the public welfare,
and deserves the condemnation of all good
men.
Second—That wo declare war against tho
saloon, and hold it to bo tho supreme duty
of tho government to adopt such measures
os shall restrict it, and control its influence,
and at tho earliest possible moment extin
guish it altogether.
Third—We believe tho national government
should absolutely prohibit tho manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liqaors in tbe Dis
trict of Colombia and in all the Territories
of the United Stats*.
Fourth—We believe the best practical
mothod of dealing with the liqnor traffic
in the several States, is to let the people de
cide whether it shaU be prohibited by the
submission of constitutional amendments,
and until such amend meats are adopted, by
the passage of looal.option laws.
Fifth—That inasmuch aa the saloon
business creates a special burden
of taxation upon the people to support
courts, jails and rimshoases; therefore, a
Urge snnttal Ux shonld be levied upon the
saloons ao long aa they eontinne to exist;
and that they should be made responsible
for all public and private iDjory resulting
from the traffic.
Sixth—That the Republican party, b wher-
ever and wbehtver in power, will faith
fully enforce whatsoever ordinance,
statute*, or constitutional amendments,
may be enaeted for the restriction or
sanpreaaion of tee liquor traffic.
Seventh—That we approve the action of
Congress, and of those States that have
dono ao, in providing for teaching tho phy
siological effect of intoxicants in onr public
acbooU, and that we earnestly recommend
to evory State legislature the enactment of
each lews as shall provide for the thorough
teaching of anch effects to onr children.
Eighth—We demand that the Repnbli-
con party, to which we belong and
whore welfare we cherub, shall tnke a firm
and decided stand os the friend ot the home
and the enemy of the saloon, ln favor of
thU policy and these measures. We pledge
ourselves to do our utmost to cause the
party to take such stand, and we coll upon
all tempt ran oe men and all fricmU of hu
manity, of whatever party or name, to join
with us in seeming there objects, and in
support of the Republican party so for
it shall adopt them.
Some opposition was provoked by the
fifth resolution, on tbe ground that it rec
ognized tbe taxation of tho liquor iutereaL
It was opposed by Wright, of low*, and
Dodge, of Michigan. The resolution wa*
defended by delegate* from New Ycik,
Kansas and llhode Island and several other
State*. It was finally adopted, and the re
port was adopted as a whole, with only
three dissentingvoto*.
