Apeclal Dispatch,to T0é Tribune. MAD1sON, Wis,, Jan, 15,—8oms interesting reminiscences of -the old Milwaukea Whisky Ring are now reproduced for the laudable par- pose of adding -plquancy and intereat to the Benatorlal camprigt now red hot In this city. HSows chapters of that disrepitable Listory have been revived for the purpose of showing the compllcity of K, W, Koyes with thoe Ring, who was then Chalrman of the Republican Btate Centeal Committes, and now a candldate for the Scnate. Keyes is charged with levying as- scasments on tha distillers and rectificrs for tha purpose of carrylng on the Republican side of the campalzn, and theso chargea were flnally the subjoct of o Congressionnl Investigation, and after a full hearing they were not substan- tlated, Mr. Keyes seems to ' have been instrumental in gotilhg Matt Carpenter, then BScuator, to remove A. E. Durpee, & Uoverntnent agent, and appoluting one 8. J. Conklin fo bis plaee. Conklin feathered his own nest in a degree that mado o realdence In Canada uecessary for his health, sud It was while hie was sojourning there that he made his cclebrated “statement.”” o was granted iin- munity by the Government attorneys on the theory the' “a could be of service In prosccut- fug other., b ¢ he proved an unprofilable wit- uess, "l'o this old statement of Conklin's 18 added one by Hermann Nutmemucher, slso made in Uanaila, whither he had fled to escape retribu- tlon after Bristow's Nizhtuing struck, The elder Nuurnetnacher 18 credited with thd saying that it the Government offlcers had let the boys al for one year fonger they would have made money enouch to ave pald the nmatlonal debt. The two statements are now used unwittingly by the Carpenter crowd with the hope! of 1njurlug Keyes, 0ot belng aware that thd. old whisky miusket is Mable to kick and kill the man at the butt, They donot seem to know that Matt Carpenter’s nama ls irroparably connected with every Hoo of Conklln's contession; aud that ho is wuspected of haviug bad rurwunl kuowledgy ot all that doviitry Infts Inciplency, snd that 'the boys ' depenaed on him_In two ways, be- cause be was or Lud bLeen Bonator, aud was potent with the sutborltics in Washington; and, secoudly, bocause bo was able to defend them fu the courts. Prior to the fuul collapse of the Ring, or, to spcak more accurately, ut tho firsy attack upon it, when Bam Rludskopl was fined 5,000 aud ltwprisoned in 1his city ono day, Mr. Carpenter was suepécted " of having @ wuch decper Interest In case than that of u meie sttorney. . Rludskopt was afterwards the Democratic nomines for Cougress fu the Milwsukee District, but was forvod off the track In conscquence of his con- pection with the whisky frauds becoming kuown. Curpester was theu s candldate fur re-election to tho Henate, and it was vpenly charged that ho and Kindskopf had entered thto au agreemeut, the point of which was that Car- penter was to belp “The Prince™ into Cou- rren. und fu return 8am was to ald in the clec- Lo of Republican members of the Legislaturs inthe doubtful districts, and thus belp Mr. Carpenter 1o bis contest for re-clection. -~ Car- penter denles this of courss, but.
