POLITICAL MATTERS, Swectal Correspondence of The Tridune, MLWwATKEE, Oct. 14.—The situation of polit- jcal matters in Milwaukee is peculiar, and the prospect most gratifying to Republicans. The Tarty organization is entirely barmonious and full of strength. Every week witnesses acces- gions to the Republican ranks. One of the most notable events of this weck was the transforma- tionof sn immense meeting of workingmen, called 2t the North Side Turn Hall, bty the Democratic manipulators into s Republican demonstration by the workingmen themsclves. The assemblage was entirely composed of Germaus. With con- strained and uawilling respect they listened to the addresces of the two officiating Democratic orators, ond responded to each with cheers for Hsyes and Wheeler, aud cries of **Ncin! nein! neider mitt Tilden!” The meeting ended with Republican sflevchcs from gpectators called ont by the crowd, which appeared none the less numerous st the close than at the opening. The Tilden or- gans omit any allusion to the ocGirrence, and were surprisingly brief in their reports of the mveting. The Democratic organization is rent with that weakness which is inherent in and_born of dom- inance in municipal and local politics, Its con- duct 12 4 strife between its multitude_of ambitious Jeades and eclfish cliques, who spend the:r_valua- ble time aud swiftly-ieeting ante-election days in bicker:ng, jealous quarrels for personal ascend. ency anc scheming for the spolls of municipal of- fiee. The two principal features in the central or- gonization are the Young Men's Club and the Hinely crowd. who occupy different headquarters outhe same street. The young fellows who run the firet are popularly known as the Tadpoles, on sccount of their wrigghmg, futile activity. appar- eutiy simlees excent in evincing an _expeciation to deelop some dag {nto fall-grown frogs. _They re- tort apon tie old liners, who seem to regard them with smused contempt, by allnding to them under such pet names as ** rossils.” ** Kelics,” etc. TilE KING OF THE TADPOLES I« EAC Wall, & young auctioneer of considerable bu:iness sbility, and, aside from his political afiil- uns, of kocial position, but a miost mal- scruit politiclan, He blossomed into politics but , and attempts to make np for a Juck of parience by a showy display of activity.

THE NEXT LEGISLATGRE. The nominations for members cf the Assembly will proubly be completed next week. The only t Y date has been formally named £ fur s the Fifth, embracing the Fifth and Twelfth Werds, where the Democracy met on Thursday evening and nominated H. J. Hilbert. It is quite [robabie that his opponent at. the caucus, Court P. arkin, may run 88 an independent candidate. The Kepublicans insariably make a good nomina~ fn in this district, and have not departed from thir custom 1n noniinating the Hon. David Vance, who sccepts the renomination, which insures his clection, although the district is nominally Demo- cratic.

ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE the names of several candidates are broached al- ready. §. W.

McLaren is aleo named by others as a represent- ative wan, whose nomination wonld be an honor 1o the dustrict, but 1t s doubtful if he would ac- cep on account of the requirements of large buei- Dess relations. Carl Doerilinger, a liberal German, Joba K. Elcred, a popular citizen and native Mil- ¥2ukeean, and Christian Preusser, Esq., are alsa €poien of ‘as availadle and excellent candidates.

B i et A mass-meeting of workingmen was held at North Sida Turn-1all, which was a grand success 23 showing the preference of the Jaboring classes for Hayes and Wheeler. The hall was IIIFed toits utmoet capacity, and telling_addresses were made by the Hon. Fred Horn, the Hon. Henry Fink, and Col. Wedelstadt, In German, which were enthusi- astically received and intérrupted by frequont rounds of applansc. The workinmmen are thop. ouglly in carnest in their Republican tendencies, ‘1hc Hon.

In some places ik mectings were announced by the pricats from the pulpit, and on reveral accasions the churches werc opened for his use, the pastors participating, opening the meeting wWith "einging, and closing Jvith three rousing cheers for the Republican nom- ces. The Republican companies of Minute-Men in this city have perfected a regimental organization, i the following ofilcers:’ Colonel, Nenry G. odgers; Licutenant-Colonel, Henry Weidner; Major, John M.

After the meeting the members of the Society to the unmber of at Teact 1,000, headed by a band, proceeded Lo the residence of Bracker, where he Was serenaded, and responded with & brief speech. IMPORTANT DECISIO:! terest, both in A case which has attracted mucl this vicinity and abrond, was thie week decided by the Suoreme Court, heing that in relation to the Alilwaukee Orphan’s Home. This benevolent in- stitution was chartered by a specinl act of the islatare two years ago, and under said_act was au thorized to receive vagrant and homeless children that might be sent to it by the courts, the county 10 defray the expense of their keeping. Sometime &ince a controversy aroge aa to toe right of the Home to retuin Catholic children, which was par- ticipated in by ecveral members of the Board of Supervisora, and led to that body refusing to sudit 4 bill of the institution presented them for the care of the children sent 1o the Home by judicial au- thorities. The case was taken into courtto test the constitntionality of the act. The decision of the Supreme Court of the State is, that the 1aw is con- stitutional, and that the Board of Supervisors shall pay the bills. i ., THE COAL QUESTION. There has been much said by the presa and peo- ple of this city on the subject of the cosl sapply for the winter, and our Citizens are waiting, Micawber-like. for something ty turn up, —that is, for prices to come down. Dealers in this city, there is no doubt, were badly treated by the com™ bination at the East, who, but a short time before the crash, advised them that there wonld be an upward_tendency. and upon this advice the local dealers laid in their stock at combination prices. They are in a bad box, and do not, of course, wish to lose any morc miomey than possible. ' Con- sumers, however, hear of prices elsewhere, where coal i# handled by agencies, and don’t like to psy the prices here. A combination formed to purchuse o lot Of 300 toms, when one of ‘our local dealers azreed to give the same fgures 8s were offered else- where upon orders of like lots, and the purchase was made of him, and the coal divided among members of the pool. This seems to be the easiest way to get out of the difiiculty, both for dealers and consumers. Let a pool of consumers be form- ed to purchase 300 tons, which they can get at the loweet prices, eaving freizht and_cartage, and at the same time the coal will be_superior, 83 deslers here keep their stock houseds and protected from the weather, while those of Chicago, with pachaps one or two exceptions, keep it in open yards, ex- posed to ratn and storm. AN IMPORTANT LINE. The Wisconsin Central Railrosd has completed its line from Sle\'en.s Pointto Portage, and is push- Ing work on its mein linc, rusning from this city to Bayfled, Lake Superior. When work is finished for this season there will remain a gap of only eizit miles to be completed mext spring. over which connectior. will be made doring thé winter by a stage line. This road will be of Immense im- portance to Milwaukee, opening up & large extent of conntry which 19 rich in minerals and timber of all kands, and which is rapicly being settled and improved. Milwankee will pe the nearest and natural outlet and base of eupplies for this section, which bids fair_vefore Jong fo be onc of the most productive pertions of the Northwest. THE NORRIS CASE. ‘The casc of Norris, charzed with outraging the little daugeter of Mr. Aldrich, eome months ago, was brought up for trial in_the Municipal Court on Tuesday, District-Attorney Martin and Mr. Eb- Ditts appearing for the prosecution, and James G. Jenkins for the defense. Argument was made by Mr. Jenkins apainst trial on the groands of in: eanity of the prisoner, and the prosccution claimed that ‘was a question to ve decided afterwards, Judge Mallory ruled to impancl a jury and try the case, but. owing to the absence of important wit- nesses, the hearing was adjourned for two weeks. WHISEY MATTERS. W. H. Roddis, ex-Gauger, and John Fitzgerald, of this city, have been subpeensed by the Govern- ment as witnesses in the crooked whisky suits of Sam Rindskopf, which will be tried in Salt Lake in November. On Tuesday Charley Nintze, one of the incar- cerated whisky crookx, who was sentenced to three monthe in the County Jail ond to pay a fine of 8200, was released, his time having expired; and on Thursday Christian Guenther, another of that ilks, was released under like circumstances. MISCELLANEOUS. Only 374 families are receiving aid from tho Poor Department. against 500 at this time last year, ‘he Supreme Court has set aside the verdict and allowed the exceptions in the case of Mrs. Willner, and motion for & new trial will be made in the Municipal Court upon_receipt of the order. Itis not probable that this trial will ever ' take place, as the defendant is hovelessly insane, and ehe will be kept at the only proper place for- her,—the asylum at Osbikosh, ‘Another decision hos been given by the Court In acase which caused, at the time of its triol in Tower courts, intense " excitement fn all circles In Milwaukee, —the Burr-Kneeland will-suit. Anap- peal was taken to the Supreme Court from the rul- ing giving the widow asharc of the estate. This appeal has been denied by the Supreme Court, of- fering the original decision. The Milwaukee Ciicket Club. although newly ormanized, has been snccessfal this tcason.

Special @ The Tribune, RACINE, Wis., Oct. 14.—Time was when a Rlorious summer could not go by in our beauti- ful city without & number of pleasant social reminders of the fact. Many a starlit tropical evening of previous years have the gardens and lawns that form the chief beauties of Racine presented a fairy plcture that lived long and pleasingly in the memory. The happy shout and silvery laughter of those who reveled joy- ously in the pale moonlight or under the blink of the far away stars, while trces were festooned with artificial embellishments, have been, during the past Season, as few and far be- tween a5 augels’ visits; and now that the breathing of the sweet South o’er a bank of vio- Iets has given place to the hoary breath of au- tumn frosts or dreary winds, there are none who do not regret the gayety of former times as compared with the formal, social indifference of the'summer just at an end. The principal cause of the evil spoken of has been the attrac- tions of our Centennial celebration. From the time when the robin chirped its first thin note in the carly spring, or when the retiring blue- bird yanked its first worm into a cave of gloom, the war of preparation for an Eastern hegira bo- gan, aud the natives of our zoodly burg ave been constantly on the Vflni. flitting hither and thither like unquiet epirits. A’ a matter of course a socin} earthquake was the result. Sophia would hoist on her latest inflator and dashy pul’lb&ck and hie her to the pretentions home of ~ Arabella. But the Dlinds would be closed as an indica- tion ~that Ambella had gome to the “‘getting sun," or was living in the bssement, in order to warrant the belief that sho had done 5o, which left poor Sophia no other alter- native than to pack her collar-box and follow in the wake of her fortunate friend. Now the pllgrims are returning from Mecca with de- pleted purses and Crusty tempers, | travel- stained ‘and heart-eore, filled with the con- viction that all is vanity and vexation of Bpirit, and regrerting that the lucre wrung from a reluctant Pa_could not be apolied toward the pur- chase of a Nile green silk for the winter campaign. But the dearth of socisl doings in the summer that has passed will only increase the mama for pleasant reunions when the suowflakes fly. and Racine will oseibly witness the gayest winter that we have for years. POLITICAL. A Committee has been selected from among our citizens for the purpose of urging as candidates for political office men whose dispositions huve be- come sourcd and crusty from the left-handed buf- fets of adversity.: The object in view is to work a srand moral ~reformation.—to reclaim, as it were, and make affable and genisl those poor devils who are cursed with misanthropy; for it is &n established fact that, no matter how morose and sullen aman may bein his everyday intercourse with Ius fellow-men, the moment he is nominated for an office, however potty, he doffs his scedy coat of cusscdness and _dons the eleek garb of the fawningsycophant. Constituents are button-holed, and wheedled, and crammed full of Cove oysters and fusil oil until their wanin, faith fn the nominee is {n a measure restored, on they think he 18 **some pumpkins " afterall. So this Committee, of whichI have made mention, may pan_out moral agriculturists of no mean stripe, whose good deeds will live after them. THE WIGWAM. As telegraphed to your Friday's issue, the open- ing of the mammoth Republican wigwam on Main strect iast Thursday evening wasa magnificent success. There were 1n attendance between 2, 500 2nd 3,000 voters good and true, and their enthusi- asm from the opening prayer until the benedic- tion was pronounced unbounded. The orator of the evening was the Hon. Charles G. Williams, whose eloquence thrilled every hearer, and made them stronger in the right. Over 1,000 excited " and zealous Republicans were compelled to turn away from the door for lack of room inside, and were thus deprived of listening to one of the most telling epeeches of the campaign. CITY QONVENTION. A Republican City Convention was held in the Court-House on Thursday evening, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for member of the As- sembly for the First District. After an_informal ballot, a formal ballot was taken, resalting in the unanimous choice of the Hon. N. J. Field, the gentleman who represented the same dis: trict last year. ‘‘Nort's™ ability fe conceded by all who know him, and his consistency, back- bone, and ‘*sand ™ during the last legielative meeting, coupled with his great local popularity, cannot fall to insure his re-election. His sterling Repablican principles cannot be shaken by cither fear or favor, and he will undoubtedly sccare, as De did last year, the suffrages of large numbers of conscientious Demacrats. THAT RALLY (¥). There wasa ghastiy cffort at s rally among the Democracy of the Fourth Ward at Father Ma- thew’s Hall lnst Wednesday evening.. J. G, Don- nelly, of Silwaukee, tried to wring a little enthu- siasiu from several tows of empty scats, falling in which be was followed in a very tedious manner by A. S. Ritchic, a young fledgling whose crow la 2 consumptive imitation of lusticr Shanghais. Other luminaries there were who are as yet un- known to oratorical fame, suchas the melancholy and ponderous Judge Allén, the irrepressible Perry Dutton, and the clasiical Winslow, whose ideas Tegarding the political situation of the country are about on & par with their eloquence. A PRIM{TIVE MINSTREL. The readers of Tur TRIDUSE who question the freaks of somnambulitic ‘*roosters” will un- doubtedly hesitate believing the following, but it i3 a litéral and absolute fact: Over in **Cans- da ™ lives a young married couple who have jogged along the matrimonial road very happily €0 fac. One cvening last week the {rail half was startled by the singular antics of her lord and master. The **party of the second vart " would leave his well-feathered nest and indulge in a little circus entirely on his own hook. at intervals haul- ing the covering o T the bed, and making a den for humseif in the bath-tub, climbing the bed-post, and givine exhibitions of muscular development on **the horizontal bar,” or riding an imagmary mule aronnd the ring. 'The terrificd wife lay per- fectly still, attributing the pranka of hubby to tho resuit of the Ohio and Indiana eiectlons. _Finall the eccentric fellow left the room and house ¢ tirely, and, with no other covering than a very brevidted under-garment, hied him across the river to his mother’s house, in the southern part of the city. The trip was made about 2 o'clock in the morninz, with a heasy honr-frost montling the sidewalk. In the words of Scott, The way was long, the wind blew chill, Beneath his fluttering shirt until The ** goose-tlesh " mar.ied his body o'er, Long ere he reached his mother's door.™ Much more poetry might be appropriately ap- plicd, but it i:}} sufficient to state that he salaYy reached the bedside of hia brother, "and requested him to **lie over; Tam cold.” ~When ne awoke in the morning he had no_recollection of the cir- cumatances that led to, or marked his pilgrimage, but indignantly wanted to know **wherc in h— the police were.” DREACH OF PROMISE.

Special Correspondence of The Trivune, KexosHA, Wis.,, Oct. 14.—The excitement usually attending the election of President is just beginning to ruffie the surface of local politics in this city, and Democrats and Repub- licans, fully -alive to the. issues at stake in the present campaign, are making things lively in this vicinity. The first mass-meeting prepara- tory to the grand struggle in November was held Tuesday night of this week at Sim- wmons’ Hall, and was a united rally of the Republicans of this place. Congressman Williams was the speak- er for the evening, and with characteristic clearness and eloquence he pre- sented to his audience the true state of affairs in both partlea at the present time. Mayor Quarles and Mr, Winsor met Mr. Willinms at the depot and escorted himself and lady to the residence of Mrs. Milton Pettit, whose guests they were to be during hisstay in the city. Mrs. Pettit had prepared an elegant repust for the distinguished speaker, and bis Honor the Mayor, and after full justice hud been done to the dulicacies spread ont for their _delectation, they repulred to tho hall. Here Mr. Williams found an enthusiastic assemblage, composed of the first ladiesfind gen- tlemen of the ri!l{. The sudience was en rapport with the orator during the whole evening, and cheer upon cheer greeted the many telling hits that Mr. ‘Williaws launched broadcast inio the ranks of the enemy. The Democrats present and there were a few found brave onongh to vicw both sides of the political question—received the shots of the adversary with becoming mcekness, feeliag sure in their 6wn minds that the exponnds of their peculiar views, the Hon, H. GG. Winslow, of Racine, would on the following night return fire with interest. To-night Judge J. H. Howe will address the Hayes and Wheeler Club at Sim- mons' Hall. WHITTLE AND BLISS. In view of the alarming increase of crime in our midst, and the tendency among all classes to de- geuerate into downright barbarisi, —or something 8o near akin to it that the difference is nndefinuble: —some philanthropic mind conceived the huppy ides of inviting the renowned revivalists, Messrs. Whittle and Bliss, to hold a series of meetings in this place. The fden once conceived, the clersy all united in pronouncing it good, and with one nccord have taken bold of the matfer. Messrs, Wiittle and Bliss have been jnterviewed on the subject, and have signified their willingness to beneiit tho heathen of this place with their ministrations. A better fleld for the Iabor of these revivalists cannot be found in this State outside of Racine, and it Is to be hoped they whl succeed in reforming all those fallen gcions of humanity whom our police and county boarding-house have failed to intimidate or convert to the commonest principles of humanity, Hiss Lillie Runals was the recipient of a JOLLY SURPEISE Thureday evening;at the hands of her yorg {riends in this city, The surprise was nothing less than a raid upon her country residence of a party of youthfnl seekers after pleasure, of both sexes, They made thelr way thitherward in pairs in car- ringes, bearing withi ‘them huge hampers of pro- visfons and the ever-present ** Billy," who man. ipulated his big accordeon during tic evening in a truly artistic manner. Kenosha gallants not being very numerous, Racine was called upon to furnish Ber quota, which she did to the number of three, Messrs. Duncombe, Van Pelt, and Jaynes. The sclf-invited guests did not reach ** Willow Brook " farm until after o'clock, o that the party proved asarprise in more ways than one. The evening ras spent {n dancing, and the sharp appetites in- duced by the two-mile ride over tae hills did ample justice to the supply of sandwiches, pickles, cot- Tce, and cake furnished by the fair oucs of the company. The party did not break up until the #*wee sma’ hours " of early morning.

The faneral of Henry Glies, an account of whose death was telegraphed to Monday's TriBuNE, oc- curred on Monday afternoon, and was attended by the Torrent Fire' Company, of which he was far- merly a member.

Lorenz Bren. tano, candidate for Congress from the Third Dis- trict, and Col. A. N. Waterman, of Chicago. Mr. Brentano spoke in Germau, there being quite o number of his countrymen present. The streots being muddy ecrved as a barrier to the appearance of the Hayes and Wheeler Battalion, bat it is un- derstood they will be out on Tucsday evening, on which occasion they will be presented witha besu- tiful banner. Col. Edmund Jussen and the Hon. John V. Le- Moyne are advertised to speak at Searls' Hall this (Saturday) cvening. The Democrats are getting wirmed up. —— LAKE. ENGLEWO0OD. The party sezson approaclies, and with it the inquiry, “What club shall I join this scason? How can I gain the most pleasure for the least money?’ Several clubs are, forming here, one of which will give their first party a week from next Saturday. It isintended to be very se- lect, and tickets can only be obtained upon pre- sentation of a card from the Committe on Invi- tations. It might be sugge¥ted to the School Trustees that. the necessity exists forthe cn- largement of the seating capacity of the High- School Hall. Of the several entertainments given lately, each succeeding one has brought out more people than the one previous, andat the last one on Friday night people who were late hed difficulty in obtaining seats. Another feature in these entertainments has beeu an almost entirely dif- ferent audience each time. When a performance shall be given, which ehall draw all these people at ouce, it will be found that the hall is not large enough to hold them. Now, one word to the managers of these cntertainments, either stick closely to your programme and give no en- core, or shorten your progatume. Tnuse chairs arc dreadful bard to sit upon for longer than two hours at 2 time. Notwithstanding the rain on Friday and the Qark and threatemng evening, the largest audi- ence of the'scason assembled at the Hich-School Hall to hear the music and recitations given un- der the auspices of Miss Jessie Couthoni, a young and talented reader of great promise. She has already established u reputation which places bLer in the forcmost rank of elocutionists. The programme of the even- ing was well divorsified and very well carried out, only a littlo tedions from the uumber of encores. The Chicago Madrigal Cinb sang **Since First 1 Saw Your Face,” and **In Going to My Lonesome Bed.” Prof. Walter C. Lyman recited the chumber £cene between Hawlet and his mother with tne effect. Miss Ingersoll and William Lewis gavea **duo concertanti on piano and violin. Mr, Lews is a favorite here as well as in Chicazo. Miss Fanny Whitney, sopreno, sang ‘‘Re- quited, " after which Miss Jessc Contnoul recited *+ Mona's Waters, ” which gave er a chance to dia- play the great power of ber voice. She responded to an encore by reeiting **Lost and Found." The tenor solo ** Certsiuly,” by Charles T. Barnes was well received. 10 Hush Thee. my Bable,” by the Madrizal Club, wus very fine, as was also the ** Clink, Clink, Clink," given in response to the encore. The **Ros¢ Bush,” sung by Miss Emma Baker (contralta), called forth an encore, to which she responded by giving the Scotch song ' of ** Whistls and L'l come to you, my Iad.” Miss Whitney and Mr. Barnes sang a duo, **The Evening Hoyr." The reading of Mark Twain's ** Literary Nidht- mare,” by Miss Couthoui, will be the means of giving some of the audience the nizhtmure by the continua] repeating of those ever-risin rhyihma. The violin solo by Mr. Lewis shows hiin to be what everybody knows, master of what masic there I in that {nstrament. Tho bass golo, *The Stirrup Cup, " was suni by George H. Broderick. A humorous recitation from_Mark Twain by Prof. Lyman, and *Good Night, Love,” by the Madrigal Club, closed the entertafament.

Saturday night o number of people from Chicago came out to havea good time. They probably went back satisfied, as Father Leydon knows how to pleasc his patrons, The fair will be continued severnl weeks more.

WAUKEGAX, Oct, 14.—Political matters are at the tinds of ‘the public that it is of rare oc- currence anything clse is talked about. No matter what the nature of your business may be,orin what mood you arc found, you are compelled to listen to and quite often, forced into fully discussing the merits and demerits of either or both political parties.

Sofaras can be learned\qo steps have _been taken by the officials of the Northwesten Railroad to provide their numerous Evanston patrons with decent depot accommedations for this winter. The necessity for increased ac- commodations is obvious and urgent, but the prospect for any improvement is dismal enongh to disgust all who daily patronize the road, for past experience has shown them the folly of basing their hopes upon arything but the con- struction of another road. But the new enter- prise has good prospeets of speedy sucuess, and forms a silver lining to the cloud which hangs over railroad matters in Evanston. DOMESTIC INFELICITY. One family in town has Lad its full share of domestic troubles during the last six months, The husband some time aro failed in business, and has since failed to_contribute anything to his own support or that of his family.
