SENATORIAL SCHEMES.

A few weeks since we spoke of a
plan which had been devised BY var
ious prominent politicians in the State
the final and principal aim of which
was to place the present Congressman
Of this District in the U. S. Senate.
There has been con siderable comment
on the subject among our exchanges
and in one or two instances doubt has
been expressed in regard to it, but our
information was so direct and authen-
tic that we are positive of its entire
correctness, except, perhaps, in some
of the minor points Of detail. The
following general results, as we under
stand it, were contemplated in the plot
referred, to: first, the election of Atwood
as Governor; secondly, the occurrence of
a vacancy in the U. S. Senate during
AtWood's term of Office; thirdly, the
appointment Of Philetus Sawyer to fill
such vacancy, and, finally, the election
Of B. I. Hopkins by the Legislature
as Sawyer's successor in the Senate.
Atwood, Hopkins and Sawyer were
thus to join hands in an enterprise or
speculation which was to declare div
idend to each, the lions share, howev-
or, being assigned to the one who was
to wait the longest and risk the most.
But Sawyer failed to secure the
delegates FROM his own district, coun-
y and city even. and Atwood and
Hopkins did but little better in their |
ocality ; accordingly Atwood did not
succeed in securing his election and
lie foundation thus falling out Of their
.aslL2 in the al the whole structure |

The Democratic State Convention
met at Milwaukee on the 9Th, and
nominated the following ticket:
For Governor-C. D. Robinson, of Green
Bay. d.,
of Stevens Point. r
For Secretary of State-A. e. COOK, OF
Columbus.
For Treasurer-John Black, of Milwaukee
For Attorney Generals. U. Plnney, OF
Madison. o.
For State sPrison Commissioner-Carl
Bordoe, of Waukesha.
For Sup't of Public Instruction--Peter
K. Cannon of Ozaukee.
With any other than the Democratic
party such a ticket could not be con-
sidered strong one the very first
nomination made was a surrender OF
all that has been considered distinctive
and positive in the party. For years
Col. Robinson has been known as an
open repudiator of those doctrines which
are dearest to the Democratic heart, and
hasreceived more abusefrom their journ-
ais than any other man in the State.
The balance is made up, with one or
two exceptions, Of obscure men, and IN
more than one instance of those known
to possess strong Republican proclivi-
ties: But it will not be safe to ealcu-
late upon the facts that their candidates
are not only not representative men
but are even obnoxious to the majority
of the party as elements of weakness,
for those who nominated them knew
that their followers could be induced
to vote the democratic icket' no
matter who might be upon it.
The platform is about as peculiar as
the ticket eliminate the tears and
agony over the mismanagement of the
Government and it would make very
fair Republican platform it offers a
tribute Of gratitude to our fallen SOL
diers, it desires the extinction Of the
National debt in exact accordance with
the terms of the contract, it recon-
mends the Improvement of the Fox
and Wisconsin Rivers-by the State
however instead ofby the general Gov
eminent as the Republicans propose
and finally rejoioes over the extinction
of slavery. How it must have delight
cd the hearts Of Sat Clark, Palmer and
others of that ilk to vote for that last
resolution. The very thing which
they have so long deplored and opposed
and in opposing which they have been
SO often beaten, now fills them with joy.
The philosophy of their rapture must be
the same as that of the boy who al
ways enjoyed being thrashed he felt
so good when it was oyer;" there
.is more of the same sort Of bliss IN store
for them.
The sum ofthe whole matter is simply
this their candidates were mostly
taken from he middle class Of neuters
who have no political habitation and
their platform is wholesale plagiarism
from the Republican platform, well
seasoned with Democratic bile.

went to pieces without remedy.

The La Crosse Republican speaks of
a scheme to have G. G. Washburne
appointed successor to Sen. Howe, who
IS to be disposed Of by appointment to
the U. S. Supreme Court in place of
Justice Gricr, who is expected to re-
sign. This is probably supplementary
to the plan which was said to be in
existence last winter, and which pro-
posed to get Howe out of Washburn's
way by making him one Of the new u. s..
Giro cult Judges, but which fell through
on discovering that Howe was ineligi-
bic to that position. The Republican
has some very timely and sensible re-
marks in this connection on the i'm
propriety Of allowing scheming politi-
ticians to appropriate Offices, the dis
posal Of which should be determined
by the people alone. Wisconsin has
interests of too great Importance to al
low them to be intrusted to any man
who may happen to hold the most
"wires" or to have "set up his pins"
first.
The party which is in power is reas-
onably expected to delegate its best
men to the most important Offices and
if it fails to do so the omission is Just
ly chargeable upon it as a grievouE
breach Of trust. We have in the Re
publican party of this State no lack o /
men well qualified in every respect to
occupy any position to which the peo-
pie may call them, and when inferior
men seek by intrigue and under hand :
ed plotting to secure the places which
only such men as these should hold, il
is the duty of every one who cherishes
the interests of the party and of the
State to spot them.
