Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, BULWAUKER, Aug. 23, 1874, ~‘When tho State officers clected by the Reform party wors innugnrated, ot the boginning of tho year, tho leading politiciats of Madidon scemed “hgyildered and amazed. ‘Thoy bad confidently “*"oxpgotod that Washbura would vo coutinuod in ofico, Even, Doemociats .at- tho Capital of tho Btato bnd worked to havp Washburn' placed at tlio hond of the Roform ticket, It was impossl- bls, they enld, to beat hinh. ., When tho londersof . tuo Heform movemont selecied ', platn and une pretonding farmor for the head of thelr ticket, the corrupt Mndison Regency, composed sbout oqually of Democrats and Republicans, laugh- cd at tho very ides of his election. » Aftor tho Inauguration of tife Governor-olect. 1hese samo . politicians concluded that they would \nke pos- nossion of i Excellency and ruu bim in the interest of their privuto’ schomes, Gov. Tuylor proved to bo a very tough-willed man, “Asa facotious Reformor oxproased it, **Ie stopd, in ' two ncres of boots, and all the politicians in the ‘Stato couldn’t trip him up.” omade his own .. zppolntmonts, and proceedod in bia own way: from n Stato Exccutive—was not wliolly wntten by himself, yet it contained only his own ideas. +To the principles onunclated in the platform of' tho Roform party, and to tho idens of his mes- | .sage, he has romaived stendfastly true, Ifo hos - plowed his own furrow and driven his own feam, ' THE OTHED STATE OFFICIALS bave beon equally true to tho movement tliat placed them unoxpectedly in power. The *war- “dorse Democrats, who insolently claimad tho wvictory es thoir own, wera repelled, ana their pretouslons worae ignored. ** OMd-Jinora™ wero urged upon the attention of the State officors “for appointments on nccount of long fidelity to * the potty.” They responded tha thers could ‘bo uo question of fidelity to a party nolonger In'esistonce, Ignonug all such considorations, thoy aclected thoir clerks and ussistants withsolo rofarenco to the oftidiency and econdmy of tho servico. Thus for thoy bnve performed their dutien well, and dro entitled to tho gratitude of ihio peopio of Wisconsin. Al of them are geu- tlowen of ability, and not oue of them is con- epicuous na o politician, THE STATE LEGISLATURE, When the Ropresentatives elected by tho poo- plo assomblod at Madison, thero wos o ebnrp strugglo botween tho lendes of tho ‘‘rocke- rooted " Democracy, and the geauine leaders of tho Roform movomont to secure the ascendency it tho organization of tho Assembly. The Sen- ato was still Repubiicau by one mejority. In tho Asgembly thero was a lnrge majority of Reform- ors. 'This divieion of political sonliment was not only unfortuunta for tho Reform mavoment, but 8ls0 conspicuously dotrimontal to the public - torest. A gamo of logslntive ouclire wns imme- dintely commenced. The stnko ployed for was ths public’s favor, THE RATLROAD QUESTION. Evory member of the Legislataro scomed to * be under the rmpiession that all ho Lad to do in +order to reach the acmo of any politiclan’s am- bition was to get in a il giving tho railways “ partioulnr fits.” Tho Republicsns, who Lad done pothing, during tho twenty soars of their ascondency in State, to protect the peoploe ‘ugeinst thio discriminations and'extortions of ruilwny compunics, were geized with a sudden Zeal Lo out-Ilerod tho Reformers in megsures - leveled ac tho corporations. Tho railway-lobby- “ista, who, for o quarter of a century, had bLad + their own way at Madison, suddenly and unexs ectedly fouud thomseclyes powerless. Auy- Ybiug recommended by them was sure not to be ' dope. ‘The Milwankeo & St. Puul Company bad -ueed all its ioflacnce to eloct tho anti-Republican ticket, and subposed ‘that tho Reform members would bo like geaterul wax in ., their hauds. In this they wero foarfully disap- pointed. 'Thoy found, to their chagrin, that the movement was, in renlity, what it had protonded to bo. TAE REFORMERS CONSERVATIVE. While the Referm motnbers of the Legisla- ture wero ununimouy in maintaining the princi- . plo that the Stato hay the right to supervise and, control corporations of its awn crestion, they wero opposed to measures destructive of or en- ddugering ono of tho great intercsts of , tho Commonwenltl, They felt themselves ro- U srougiblo to the peoplo for tho character . of rmlway-legislation, On the contrary, the Republicans, Lnowing that thoy were responsi- hle only in & minor degree, sought to embmirass “their obpononts by measures plainly outrugeons and vindictive in thoir nature. Eorly in'the ses« sion. tho Heformers matured n measuro that ** provided for tho appointment of Railway Com- missioners, with power to iuvestigate tha atfuire -aud managemout of the diferent roads in tha Stato, and to roport facid on which 3 basoe nee- ossary legiglation in the futnre, ‘That mensuro fixed” no mbitrory taviff of rates aud ‘farew, It .slwply provided that railways <" ehould not chorge highor thaun their own " tarlils of Junn, 1872, It alio empowered tho Comimistioners to provent tho compsnies from imposing upon tho anlo extortionato or dis- ctimivating rates, Thut messure, known as tle bill of the Select Railway Committeo, passed tho Assembly by an ovorwhelming majority, although the Jeading Ropublicuns voted ugalnst it. The . Republican Senate promptly and obstinatoly ro- ected thobill, In the mecantimo it matured a bill of its own, now known as the Potter nct, puneed 1t by & partisan vote, adhored to it, and refuscd to adop: auy other measure. It haw beon snid hyn leading Reforaer in tho Stato, that * T'ne Pottor bill was concelved in pelitical siv, and born in Ropublican niquity.” Rthetor- {eal au tho phrago 15, 16 §8 novertholess literally true.
