From Our Oren Correspondent, Maptsox, Wis,, Aug. 33, 1873, On Wodnonday noxt, Aug. 37, the ltopublicsn Btate Convontion moots lioro, to nominato n Btato ticket, and adopt o platform on which to maken fight this fall for the Stato officos and Logislature. Somo of its action may be very con- fidontly foroahadowed. As to othor mattors, what it will do is vory uncortain. Tor_tho view of tho situation which I shall pro- sent, 10 ono also {s rosponsible, and T endoavor 1o atato it ns it is, unbiased by any projudicos or proforoncos. S MODALLY CENTAIN i8 tho adoption of resolutions plalnly and em- phatically condemning tho walary-grab, dospito tho foct that Wisconain's ‘‘cloquont Sonator” votod for it, and had the audacity to attempt to convinve hie constituents that it was ajl right. Buch roeolutions will simply put on rocord, as tho voico of the Ropublicans of Wisconsin, the cousuro which the Ropublican pross of the Btato, with almost ontire unanimity, ox- prossod, long beforo s cortain reviewer,—one of that plass who sit in their officos and attend to thoir businoss, having few facllitles, compared with an oditor, for ascortaining the publio senti- mont which thoy aro always sching to resolve about at conventions,—in controvorting Senator Carpontor's posltions, complalzod tuat thoy aid ot do. ANOTHER SURE THING fs_the nomination of Gov. Washburn. His administration has boon characterized by such Foarless indepondonce, unbonding iutogrity, and sound judgment, a8 to merit the usual compli- mont in this Biafo of a nomination for a second torm on goneral principles. 'Iho fact, howover, that he hna opentodly talon o position antago~ nistio to railrosd-corporations, n tho Intorcst of tho poople, 88 in tho cnso of tho claim of the Wisconsin Contral Rallrond Compauy for lands granted to ald in building cortain linoa of rall- rond, part of which it was constructing, part not, yot wantod Isud for all, which tho Governor roftised ; in tho voto of tho' bill of tho Mil- wotkoo '& Bt Paul Rallrond Company for bridging tho Mississippl above LaCrosso at & sito dlvapproved by tio propr authortios, and obnosious to intorosts dosorying conslderation ; and in rofusing tho &1 Wisoonsin Rilro Company control of tha Bt. Croix land-grant, without giving security to comply wish ita | conditions; ond other things,—hovo givon him peculior Btrength with tho peoplo in this timo of opposition to monopolias, and espocially railrond oppressions, 80 that it is vory fortunato for _the Republican Enfly of tho Btato that bo I8 to be its standard-bearor. “ Wo are all poor crittors,” e Widow Bodott onee romark- ed: and tho Qovernor's enemios, nomblg those Whose raida on the public troasury and tho pub- Ho intorest bo has Liendod off, aro subjecting his rocord to microscopio oxamination for spots, The Milwaukeo Aews iy ospecially florce and por- sistent in ita pesaults, which is duo in part tothoe fuct that tho Governor #o crushingly vetoed n bill for the sottloment of an old olaim of ono of thoeditors in conncotion with Stato priuting, that thero is no chanco for Pu(ng it throngh while he is Govornor. Tho fact is thus brought ont that tho Govornor voted for tho retromctive- muml!n-nf—an]nrxbillln 1866, whichis “ whorohe mado a mistake,” though, in his caso, with the rovisions of $ho lnw In togacd to miloage, &o., is pay wag not inorensed, nnd thore ata morg excuses for that bill than for the last ono, VENY UNCERTAIN i8 tho composition of tho rest of the tickot, and 1t is made more so 'hry‘l\m nows, to-day roceived directly from himsolf, that tho Rov. Gen. Samuel Fallows Lias accopted the Presidency of the Illi- nois Wosloyan Univorsity at Bloomington, aud Lionce will not be a candidate for ro-election.

Tho offort mado ot tho lost State Convention to oust Mr. E.W, Koyes from the Chairmanship of tho Stato Contral Committeo, is to bo ronowed at this Convention, ds is indicated in difforent parts of the Stato, A movemont in this direction was attompted at the Republican caucuecs in this city lagt ovening, which wero almost unpreco- dently largo. Tt wag largely inspired by tho pordonal fecling of a mou who for somo years held tho oflico of Collector of Unitod States Rovenua; but, whon the ofticos of Collector and Assossor wero cousolidated, the Asscasor, Gen.

Correspondenca of The Chicago Tribune, Fosp pU Lao, Wis,, Aug. 3, 1673, To a disintorested epeetator, the political sit~ ustion in this Btato is becoming decidedly inter- esting. - Likewiso tolorably interesting to cor~ tain gentlemen who do not by any moans take an unconcorned survey of (he flold. publican State Convention 'is to moot at Madi- #on on Wednesday next, and, from prosent indi- cations, we are likely to withoss sbout tho livo- licst reunion that tho Ropublican household, in this Btato, has ovor onjoyod. Soma idea of the tromondous confllet of intorosts that is cortain to ensuo upon that intercsting occasion may bo gathered from an anumeration of THE SEVEBAL BLATEH that havo already beon mado up. Hore i what isknown as tho ** Regoncy Ring " tickot, which embraces Washburn for, Governor, H. L. Eaton for Licutenant-Govornor, E. W, Youug for BSocretary of State, H. Buetz for Troasurer, and J.
