Svectal Correspondence of The Tribune, = Watertown, Wie, July L—The polltteal caldron fs beginning to boil in Wisconsin, in view of the approaching olection fur State offl- cers. The party the lenat in the scale in tho State fn numerical {mportance is the first to call a State Convention, namely: the National Greenback party, who will assemble themselves together for the purpose of nominating a ticket’ for State officers, at Turner Hall, In the City of Watertown, on Tuceday, July 16. Many of the members of this organization are undoubtedly possessed of a very sanguine temperament, judging from what they expect to accomplish In the Btate this fall, Somoof them place their voto in November at 60,000; while others of them | nro so wild fu their notluns as to assumo to be: certain of carrying the Btate. A candid survey of the ground leads to tho conviction that the election in November will stow that the Natfonat Greeuback party ia oa mere nonentity, and will not poll 10,000 votes, The Greenbackers at present talk very loudly about no compromise or - plowing with the Democrats; but it is not so certain that the Demucrats and Greenbackers will rot} try and make commoa cause, for the purpose of defeating the “ binrsted Republicans, if for no other reason. Fora party calculating to sweep the buara thle fall, it fs very noticeable that no cand|dates have us yot como forward fur the sav- eral nominations,although but tivo weeks clapse before the Convention {6 to be hold. ‘The Republican State Convention ts called to meet at Madison, July 23; and, in connection with the nomination of 9 State ticket, a grand celebration will bo bel {n honor of the tweoty- fifth anniversary of the organization of the Re- publican party of Wisconsin. Many Republica believe it to have been a mistake to call the Cot vention thus carly, as it will occur about fo the time of harvest, when {t will bo dim. cult havo a proper representation from the rural districts. In opposition to thle idea, it is asserted — thut, having the soniversary ‘tboom’-to help It ulong, {t will be shown that it was a most op- portune time to bold the Convention; und that the celebration of the birth of the party, by. the presence of prominont speakers, and-n general flow of enthusisam, which ts sure. to follow, will give the ticket placed innomination a seud- off that will prove irresistible, resulting in ite election by an overwhelmine maj ‘The question agitating the Ropubiicans seems to be, whether the present State offlcers—all guod, re- able, and able men in their several positions— shall be revominuted, and thua accord the courtesy extended to their predecessors of o trial for second term; or shall be sct aside for new and uotried mon.
