West ? The best Line is acknowledged to
be the g., B. O., joined together with the
NJ. Railroad by the Iron Bridge al
Burlington, and called the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
The main line Of the Route running to
Omaha, connects with the great Pacific
Roads, and forms to-day the leading route
TO California. The Middle Branch, enter
ing Nebraska at Portsmouth, passes
through Lincoln, the State Capital. and
| will tbs year be finished to Fort Kearney,
forming the shortest route across the Con-
tinent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverging
at Red Oak. falls into line running down
the Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas
City, and all Kansas Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa
and Missouri and, by a slight divergence
can see Nebraska also.
Lovers OF fine views should remember

fully recognize, and although a wide spread
COZ Aagratlon in the North eastern portion
of the State has desolated many households,
brought mourning to many families, and
stripped thousands of our fellow citizens of
nearly all their worldly wealth, yet even
the poorest and most deeply beresved of
these sufferers have found M illions of hearts
throughout the whole land extending to
them the most earnest sympathy, and mil
lions of hands moved to relieve their wants
by liberal gifts.
For Gods loving kindness to US during
the year soon to close, and for this outpour
ing Of Christian benevolence and charity of
our afflicted fellow citizens, we should, ac-
cording to the pious usagss of our Fathers,
publicly thank Him who moves the hearts
of men to generous deeds.
Therefore I LUcIUs FAIRcHlLD, Governor
of the State of Wisconsin, do hereby recon-
mend to the people sof this State that they
observe Thursday, November 3oth, instant,

THE ELECTION.

Election day yesterday opened up bright
and clear, giving evidence of a fine dav
throu- houti towards noon however, the
clouds obscured the sun, and the res o f the
day bore somewhat gloomy aspect, but
matters kept up lively appearance around
the several polling places. and the contend
ing hosts rallied around their favorite can
dida ties with evident interest.
Ofcourss, in this city, ererything else las
subordinate to the contest for the Asse mbly,
between Hon D. Hall, independent candidate,
and Mr.. F. P. Brook, the regular Democratic
nominee. In the early part of the day the
friends of each candidate were sanguine of
success, and strong efforts were made by both
sides. 1t was a hard fought battle, but the
utmost good feeling prevailed all through
the struggle, and we hear of no disturbance
at any Of the polls. The 6nal result on
Assemblyman is the election of Hon. Daniel
Hall by a majority of 668 in the District.
Mr.. Hall carries every ward in the city, and
his exact majority in all the wards is 500
Mr. Hall received a majority of %
in the town of Ixonia, and Mr.
Brook carried the town of Waterfowl
by SO majority, the only election precino t,
in the District carried by the Democratic
nominee. Doolittle's majority in the city is
557, in this Assembly district about
o f1,ab hal ooft no -
ticket about the same with the RECEPTION of
Rice for Lieutenant Governor, who ru ns
nearly 100 behind Doolittle
The election of Daniel Hall to theAssem
bly, from this District carries with it no po-
litical significance whatever, Democrats:
Repub licans, and all uniting to bring about
a result so important to Watertown at this
juncture of affairs. The large majority by
which he is elected is at once a handsome
and deserving compliment to him, and shows
that he has the full and united confidence of
the people of this District in his position af-
fecting our city bonds. He goes back to
Madison with the fullest and strongest en-
dorsement possible Of his past course, and
carries with him the strongest assurance
that our people are with him on all ques-
tons pertaining to fair ana equitable set
Element OF our city Indebtedness
The thanks of our citizens are due to the
people Of the towns of Watertown and Ixo-
MIA for so nobly coming forward and assist
ing in making the victory for our city SO
complete, and such settler to the Bondhold-
ers.
Let not the enemies of our city at home
and abroad mistake the voice of the people
as declared through the ballot boxes yester-
day 1t means something. We are deter
mined to stand together as one man on the
plan of compromise adopted for the protec-
ton and preservation of the city, and go
long as we remain united we can successfully
defy the powers of those men who seek our
