The result Of the ballots was made

conveyed by messengers to the different
candidates, who occupied rooms at the

manned at his headquarters at the Villas
House, and to the crowd in the rotunda
and legislative halls.
The greatest excitement and enthusiasm
prevailed when Mr.. Carpenters nominal
ton was announced. The members of the
Legislature and others present, who rapid
| ly filled the Assembly chamber, were call
ed to order by Senator Hazeton. Speak

much persuasion he was induced to 60 over
to the Assembly chamber. His appear.
ancc there was the signal for hurrahs and
every manifestation of delight. When
quiet was measurahly restored, he made
the following admirable remarks:
GENTLEMEN | should be wanting IN
all the tender emotions Of our common
| humanity if I were in a mood to make a
speech tonight. am so delighted to be
| thus happily delivered from the uneasy
blanket upon which have been tossed for
so many days that hardly know how to
express to you my thanks for this forum
ate delivery. But there is one thing to be
borne in mind at the close of this contest
among political associates and friends, no
scars are to remain. We are members OF
one faith. associated together in one organ
ization for high political and governmental
ends. There must be rivalry, because one
man only can fill one particular place and
our party hassmany members amply quail
| flied to occupy the highest positions, and
the friends Of cach'will strive to promote
their claims and though the successful
candidate must remember his friends,
he should not cherish resentments or har-
Dor malice towards those who have ad-
hered to and supported rival candidates.
| If shall be elected, gentlemen, by the
| legislature for the position to which
have been nominated, it will be my careful
epdeayor and constant aim, in all places, to
represent no city, no county, and no local
lty, but the state of Wisconsin.
1t will be my aim, also, so far as shall
have any influence in the disposition of the
patronage of government, in distributing
appointments and offices, to consult no
clique, no "ring,n but give the people OF
each locality the opportunity to select for
themselves, and be responsible for the pro-
priety of such choice.
Gentlemen, accept my sincere thanks
for this nomination, and should but half
answer the sense Of duty which wells up
| in my heart, il, in this place and upon this
occasion. forget to make my sincere &C
acknowledgements to my friends of the
lobby" who have voluntarily rallied to
| the rescue from all parts of Wisconsin,
| from Rock, from Racine, from Milwaukee,
from Walworth, from Hudson, Sheboygan,
from almost every poine-ardent, devoted,
and firm friends, and, am happy to say,
the best men in Wisconsin, have come
here to assist me on this occasion. / can
not express my thanks to them, for have
no language that would be adequate.
shall simply say that, if | am elected, /
will endeayor to do my duty; no man can
do more. @
AT the conclusion of his speech, Mr.
Carpenter was greeted with hearty and
prolonged applause, and, as he descended
from the Speakers stand, friends crowded
around to shake him by he hand, and, af-
ter he returned to his hotel, he received
their congratulations till late hour.
