The Weekly Budget of Literary News and Social Knick-Knacks. NOTIIING BUT POLITiCS. Spectat Correspondence of The Tribuns. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2.—Nothingis heard of about the city but politics. The candidates, the ward mectings, the caucuses, the Iutrizucs, the mines aud countermines, attract eversbody’s at- tention and comments. Matt Carpenter’s vault into the arena us a speech-makerat ward meet- iugs is an event. A ridiculous story was told by somebody that the ex-Scnator bad attended a love-feast of his Republican fricnds and oppo- nents, and that there had been kissing and mak- inz up all around. This was not only a fiction, but it was absurd and ridiculous. Thereis no doubt that there was a symposium; but it was only between Carpenter and his close iriends and -two or three German_politicians who had formerly opposed him. Itis related that, after the conversation had warmed with wine, Sueriff Sanger, who was preseat. remon- strated with the ex-Senator on his supposed soft-money views.. The reply was:jp* You are not a fool, Sanger; you know that [ have fo- dorsed all the Kepublican platforms as fast as Rublee could write them.” - “Too late,” was_the whispered remark of a leading aud active Republican, when it was sug- mested that Carpenter proposed, by vigorous cleventb-hour labor io the local ficld, to make up for the time lost and the errors already com- mitted. < The giving out that Carpenter would take the hard side of the money question was also a mis- take. e claims, in his specches, that the na- tional debt should be_paid, and_revamps the old joke of Webster. * Everybody,” he says, *¢ghould pay their natifonal debts; I try to pay mine.” |Laugnter.] He carefuily avoids the hard and soft money issue, sud remains as non- committal as ever, with a_ firm_ belicl by the Greenbackers that he is on their side of the atestion, as far ‘as he has any opinions at all.

GENERAL POLITICAL GOSSIP. 5 i 1t is an apparent certainty thut parti-at lesst, of the Republican county ticket will be clected. Republicans, who ought to know, think thit they will elect their eutire ticket. Senator Van Schaick i making a prodizious fight for re-clection, He lost ground during the several days which passed by while Le- was re- fusing to runs but he s getting in the work ecessary to recover himsel. A good thing occurred in the Seventh Senate District. The Aews assafled Mr. Jlyde, the Re- publican _candidate for State Sévator, and charged him_ with_beiugr connected with Ring contracts. John Johmston, who is Mr. Hyde's Democratic competitor, called at the News office, and stateil that be was in no way grati- fied by the assaults on Mr. Hyde, whom he be- lieved to be an honest aud honorable man, The Sentine! made a-shmilar stroke of bad olicy. 1t asssiled the Northwestern Mutual jife-Insurance Company because onc of its officers appears as a_candidate on the Demo- cratic ticket for State Senator in the Fifth Dis- trict. 1t found out to its surprise that Mr. Ilyde, Repullican candidate for Senator in the Seventh District, and W. P. MeLaren, Republican candidate for Assembly in the First Ward, sre both Directors in the same Com- pany.’ Attacks on personal character and busi- ness relations are unwise in politics. "fhe Republican campaign lo- this city and county 15 the most vigorous that was cver pros- ecuted by cither party. The Committec of One Jlundred is on constant duty. 1wo or three vard meetings are held nightly. Circulars and ppeals are placed in the bands of cvery voter.

Artumor Is prevalent that previous offers from Chicago aud St. Louis for the removal of the Northwestern Mutual Life-Insurance Com- pany from Milwauke are likely to be renewed, and will receive serious consideration. A de- terminatfon on remorval was ouce before nearly reached in consequence of Jegislative attacks on the institution. s attacks are’ agafn ap- preiended in the near future, sud are indicated by newspapcr asssults uponm It because one - of fits oflicers has become a can- didate for the Legislature.

Cottrill against the Daiiy Wisconsin has been before the County Court for a weels, and was concladed Thursday by a nominal verdict for the plaintiff, witn dum- ages of six cents. Itisa curous case. Three years ago an indiscreet German writer was em- ployed to write a Republican political pampblet aud procure It printed in that laoguage. Ile embodied a chapter containing an attack on the Catholics, which was at ouce trauslated into En- glish. Inaspeech in the Third Ward (rish and Catholic), Mr. Cottrill denonnced this pamphlet, and used it to the best effect, before his par- ticalar audience. The next day the IWisconsin sharply eriticized the speech, and assailed Cotrill cunningly, charging bim with introdue- ing the religious clement Into political discussion, and he in turn brought the suit for libel, claiming $25,000 damases. It has been to the - Supreme Court on demurrer twice, and both deeisions ‘were adverse to the defendant. Our Supreme Court is decidedly on the hizh horse as reizards libel, iuterpreting the law mgorously, always agaiust the pross, and has repeatedly alirmed judgments for libels which were mere political attucks. Oue of these judrments was amainst J. A. Noonan, and in fasor of W. K. Wilson, for §3.000. Anothier was somc years ugo agaiust Beriak Brown and Lis assistant editor for a smaller sum. So thoy held closely tu this case. At the recent trial W. E. Cramer, the veteran cditor of the Wisconsin, was sworn, and on his oath stated what are very wholesome doctriues ‘about the law of libel, but they are too far advanced for the Supreme Court and Legisla- ture of this State. o Another recent law-case is of interest. Kie- wert, one of the whisky crooks, alleees that he gave Louis Rindskopl 3,000 to be paid to Dr. 0. W. Wight, who was at that time negotiating with the Umited States attoroeys for immumty or for the lightest pevalty for the whisky crooks at so much a head. Kiewert further asserts that Kindskopf ouly paid $1,000 of this money 1o Dr. Wight, and put the balance in his own L)ol:kct, and be sued for this balance. Judue Small dismissed the suit on the rround that the entire transsction was immoral and unlawiul, in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court previously given on the judement which Wieht procured against Rindskopf for a portion of the same services. A runaway team of the American Express Cowpany, & few months a0, demolishied a bug- gy of o citizeu driving alongz the street. ‘Tiic citizen sued the Compauy, and has a judgment against it for $139. POLICING TiIE STRERTS. Tn some respects the police duty of Milwaukeo is well doue. but in other respects it is very poorly done. Open and aggressive crime is closely watched, aud “but few enormitiea ocenr. But in the small things which make up the law and order of a city there are many owissions. Part of the fault is, doubtiess, duc to tne lim- ited police force. Less than sixty men are on active duty, half of them for day service and half for might service. In-thecentral wards there arebut two roundsmen for each. At each of the bridges there is usually a_policeman, but some of them do their work very iocfliciently. ‘There is one bad eycsore. South' of Menomonee street bridge, which is often onen, long strines of strect-cars, wagons, carriages, and bugreivs are frequently formed. The rule of course is itn- . perative that those desiring to cross the bridze must take their turn after it is closed. But it happens with an uncomnfortable frc?xucnc: that the beavy freight wagous irom the rairoad warchouses west of the street form a wing line of their own, and as they catch a light buggy or carriaze on the approach to the bridee, they crowd it out of line, si0p the progress of all the teams behind, and usurp the roadway across the bridgze to which they are not entitled. Fast driving on the strects has become an ino- tolerable nuisance. Especially at the Wiscon- sin-strect crossings, pedestrians bave often Lo iy for their hives to escape the hoofs of lorses and the wheels of buggies. The majority of these fast drivers are women, who get out their family borse, and send bim on an irrepressible thundering trot over crossinas and down the pavements, carcless aud thoughtless, not only of aubie-bodied nen in their way, but of women and children. Does # woman at the end of a pair of reius take a malicious delizht ju scelng a well-dressed sister drop her trail, squat as if to dudge » cannou-shiot, aud then run in rude, uo- graceful style to the nearest curbstoue as a place of safety! Dan Kenneds ought to look to these things, und he ought also to have s po- lice force doubled. LITERARY NOTES.

LATER CREAM CITY NEWS. Spectal Disoutch to The Tribune. MirwAUKEE, Nov. 2—The rumor that John C. Gault, Assistant General Mavager of the St. Paul Road, is in poor health, and is to bLave leave of absence,is empbatically deuied. Mr. Gault has recently returned from a busiuess trip to Minnesota for the Company. In the suit of Cottrill vs. Cramer a motion has been made toset aside the verdict on the ground of inadequate damazes. A Milwaukec correspondent of the Oconomo- woe Free f'ress states a8 a matter of possip that Mrs. J. B. Martin, widow of tne late wealthy capitalist. has been married while in Europe to a gentleman formerly of Madison, Wis., who followed her across the Water, where the ceremony was performed. Mrs. Martin accompanied Charles Martin and bride, and Mr. Cooper and wife. her son and daughter, to Europe several months since. The party formerly of Madison may be either cx-Gov.

All the distinguished members of the Century Club were present. 1In his response to the fn- troduction Dean Stanlev said he had been oves whelmed fn America withi the eudless repetitions of kina words and genial entertainments. e had been told what to expect, and been only disappointedin tbe extent to whicn hisreveption exceeded his expectations. His two months here had been more like two years, or two centuries, since he had lived through ail Ameri- ean Wistory here. In Phijadelphia be had lived, e fearcd, in a way that would have shocked the soul of simple William Penn. [Laughter.] His impressions would remain with nim con- cerning our country and people. Eversthing scemed fermenting and growiug, and there was a0 ever-present hopefutness and buoyancy. He concluded by expressinic warm~ hops for the strengthening of all the bonds by which Amer tes and Engiapd were joined, and the belief that his bopes would be lultitled. e ——— A BLOODLESS AFFAIR.

HeNRY CAMPBELL, Runner Louisiana, jonal Bank, New Orleans, La. —————e————— MOLLAN, 83 MADISON. The merit of Mollan’s suits is in- the hon- esty of the goods of which, and of the conscien- tious manner and the fine style in which, they are made, as well as thefr cheapness. The buliders of cheap, ready-made clothing—those eranailoquent advertisers—are down on Mollan because he s dressing up our young men better than the ready-made crowd possibly can and more cheaply. They are trying all’ maoner of wavs to get him out of the trade, but they can’t. Mollan will continue to produce his artistic suits and overcoats from imported fab- rics cheaper than any other merchant tailor or ready-made hawker fn Chicago. No fit, no sale. —e— WHY THEY ARE SO POPULAR. The ladles are delighted with the seal-skin sacques made by A. Bishop & Co., corner State and Mouroe streets, from his new French pat- tern, and they all agree that they never saw such a splendia stock of fine skivs. Mr. Bishop’s long expericnce fu the fur business enables bim to always ruarantee satisfaction. He is no less successful in pleasing the gentlemen with the celebrated Knox silk hat as well as in fine fur caps, gloves, and robes. —————— THE MANHATTAN BANK ROBBERY leads toinquiry 34 to the protection furnished by Chicago Banks and Safe Deposit Companies. We find that most of them have burglar-proof protec- tion supplied by John W. Norris, General Asent of the Diebold Safe and Lock Company, and are generally guarded by chronometer locks. The Merchants' Safe Devosit Company, owned and managed by the Merchants’ National Bank, have vaulte and safes built by the Dicbold Cowpany, which are utterly imprognable, and. as they arc guarded by **Time Locks,” mo jomitor or other Pperdon can gain access only in business hours. We advise all having valuablus to engage space, or to | #eta Dievold safe. — THE BEST IN THE WORLD. 1t was no sarprise to wing-growers when the champagoes from the Hammondsport, N.
