Bpeelal Correspoadence of Th Tribune. Ositkosi, Wis,, Aug. 8.—The approsching Congressional elections throughout Wiscousin, and the unsettled condition of the politival at- mosphere, have had a tendency to generate con- siderable exciterent for an “off year.” Al- ready the Greenback lupaties haye mado their nominations for Cangreds In a1x out of the eight districts, and conventions to nominate candl- dates have been called ig nicarly all of the dis- tricts Ly both Decmodfits and Reoubllicans, Last year the Greenbsek hobbylsts In ncarly every Instance united with' the Democrats in county and legisfativf nomiuvations, and tho Greenbackers thus sccuired control of the As- sembly, and elected 'A. R. Bartows Bpeaker. But this year, with an eys to the election of United States Scoator uext winter, the Greeo- buckers throughout the Btate have sedulously avolded any alllance with cither of the other partles, and, with a pew-born confldence - which will doubticss o'erleap iteelf, they have In moat cases precipitated ac- tion by makiog thelr nominations much earlier than usual. Thus far their Colfizrenloull nom- inations ure as follows: First Diatrict, Charles 11. Parker, Beloit: Second, IL. W, Tenney, Mad- 1son: Third, Owen Klug, lowa County; Fourth and Fifth, no nominations; 8ixth, 'P. A. Grit- tith, Oshkosh} Bewnthh D. Parker, Pleasant arrow! Valley; Efghth, A. B Chippewa Falls. In the Fourth (Milwaukee) District, it Is understoud that E. P, Allls, the Greenback can- didate lor Governor last fall, will be nominated. In the ¥ilth (Foud du Lac) Distriet. Col. Orrin Hateli will ‘probably be the victim, nlthough there ts some talk of pominatiug Charley El- dredge, the formmer Democratic Congressinau, on the Greenback ticket, This would make a Hvely ght, as the state of fealing between Gen, Browg, the preseit Democratic member, and Eldredge is auything but pleasant. BIXTU LISTRICT. In this district the ‘Republican Conyention will be held lu thls city probably on the 10th of Supterber, nud the Degiveratic Convention at Qreen Bay Sept, 4. The Republican nomination will undoubtedly scttle ou D. M. Kelly, of Ureen Bay. Mr. Kellyis a young mnan of good ubllity, = successtul busiuess inan, a falr speak- ind reputation. As a Tilature, e occuoled a high position, aud 88 wyecmber of Congrass he would ubly il the seat so long oceupied by Phlletus Sawyer, The Democrats will ronami- nate (abe Bauck without opposition. The op- position will come at clection time, when many of the respectable, futellizent, aud fudevendent Democrats will pay thoir respects to Gabe b votiug lor the other man. HBouck's coarse ingratitude to his friends has dls- leartoned many of them, and he can never recelve the vote which was rolled up for hiln in 1870, 8Slnee the retirement of Saw- {cr, 1 1874, this district has been unlortunute n nominating o candidate who fatled to unito his friunds, but succecdd too well In uniting s enemies. Su&gur was clected five terms, commenciug fn 1864, by from 2,500 to 4,500 ma- jority each year, A. M, Kimball was viccted in 574 by U3 inojority, sud In 1870 Gabe Bouck beat hlm to the tune of 4,770, Mr, Kimball {n fsone_term made more enemies aud injurcd the Republican party more than ouck could have done {n teo years., It fa confidently belleved, however, that past difforences have® been settled, aud that all parties will go Into the canvass with a clean tally-shect, The vote by conutles in this district for the past two years is as (ollows: UDVERNON. || 187U - CONURKRS, g & i b COUNTIRS. ~ Tirawn. »ves "5, 500 L L, 18 ol 1,007 1743 70 Watlaca .. 1,073 Waniuliara. ot Winnobigd 4,001 0304, D10) I, ol el A glanco ut the above thrures will show at ounve thal the prosoect {s about “ofp and tuck " in the district thia tall, Tepublicaus arc hope- ful, aud_more confldens than at any tuue since 1874, The Urecuback nominee, Pu A.

Evraix, 11, Aug. 4.—Polltical matters relative tothe Congressional succession are receiving sonie attentlon just now. There arc likely to be four candidates, which may possibly render the result of the forthcoming clection one of uncertaloty, Tha Republicans, bowcever, are confident of mustering strength cnough to shiow 5,000 mafority. Tha Republican Convention bas not been called yet, but will no doubt meet hero In September. There are two distinct committees «rowiug out of the unfortunate complications of the campaign of 1870, one sclected In the Lathirop Convention at Elgin, and the other in the Hurlbut Convention at Mareogo. It 1s be- leved that the former Committeo only wlif be generally recomnized, and will make the call, A spirit of concession is maulfest on all sidea, LATIROP AND NURLBOT are the two candidates who are somewhat active for success before the Convention, The respective partisans of thess two aspirants have, singulsrly enoueh, changed positions during the past two years, and those who sup- ported the former ars now fuining the ranks of the latter, snd vice verss.

The bolt on the Republican side in 1872 was engineered In tne 8perry influence, which was able to drag in the Faculty influence of Yale College 1o an Indorsal of a creular de. nouncing the caocus system. Of cvourse, the circular was a cheat, but the good men, like President Woolsey, were honest in siguing it. Democratic intluence In sugport of the arrany- ment was sccuredd by the plrsonal pressure of UGov. English, who was himseif a member of the Lower House. In the year before English and Jewell were candidales for Governor, Much was said in the Kepublican papers sbout Tammany fnfluence In Connecticut pulitics on the Detnocratie slde. Juat before Uie election A telegraphic dlapatch, purpurting to hiave been tent by Gov. English to ‘Tweed at Albsuy, was published in the Courant, Gen. Hawiey's paper, It read: * Do not dissppoint us; nottiog could bo more dsastrous.’ "This was luterpreted to bo a cail for lelp, financlally or otherwine, and ita efTect was to defcat Enulieh, Uen. lmw;‘y never saw tho dispatch till after It wus printed, except ns a copy was shown him by a well- known Itepublican at Meriden. [t was given to the Courant cilitors by Uov. Jewéll as A VALUANLE CONTISUTION to the campalan, and. ax Mr. English came out at once and denounced 1t as a forgery,—*a forzed dispateh with my name slgucd to it " were the words hie used,—an explanation was called for, Mr. English gave none; but a yeae later it was shown that he sent the disputel gm Richard O'Gorman, care of Willlam M, Twebd, Albany, and that thu disaster predicted related to the failure of O'Gorman to appear at & pub- He icetineg In New Huven, which he telegrntie ed he could not attemd, thouwt lie lial previous- 1y agreed to. Englist charged the whole thing as a deliberate forgery upon Itawley, wlv re- mained stlent, thougli an explunstion of how it fouud its way joto print would probably have revented the consummation of the 73 bolt. e fact was that a Reoublican operator took the dispateh off the wires by suund, and begun at Tweed’s name, belng first atiractod when he leard it, and turned a copy over to the Repub- Hean State Committee, wlhio supposed In good faith that it was sent direct from Fnzlish o Tweed. But for that bolt In 18324 it {s prubablic that to-day, instead of Eston and Barnam in the Benate, their oloces would be filled by Gen, Hawley and Henry B. Harrison, of Now Huven, The_eifect was certainly **disastrous' upon the Republlean "mrlv. a8 the fricnds of Hawley in all parts of the State thought il useless o work and secure a victory, and then have it sur- rendered in deleat through TUE TREACHERY OF A FEW MEN, Buat tiue bas hesled twuch of the did bad feeling, and for two successive years the RRe- ublicans bave carried the Legisiature by mu- rorlucn on a joiut ballot of thirtv-seven and thirty-one, respoctively.

My impression §s that, as agalnst any other Republican caudidate. there would be cnouyh Deinucrats to elect nim fu the fare of any bolt- ing comblnation that might be furnished from a singie locality. ‘The olection for State officers, Congressmen, and members of tho Legislature will take plave on the first Tucsday in Novemnber, aud the tirst w(mventlon called to make nomluations is that o TIR NATIONALS at New Haven on the 141k of the present month, Tuls party has the wmost of Its streugth fn the viclolty of New Haven, sud o that Congres- sional District, the Secund, has probably a roosd balauce of power, aniouhttng, It Is clalined, to about 1, votes.
