MILWAUKEE. July 29.-The cam
paign on the Republican side opened
at Madison, Wis, on Saturday even
ing under favorable auspices. About
two thousand people assembled in
front of the capitol and were address
ed by Governor Washburn and Sena-
tor Carpenter. The Senator said
when he came back to this State he
heard of a good deal of Greeleyism
in different places. In Milwaukee
be heard they had it out here bad !;
but on going here he was told there
was little here, but they heard
there was much in Milwaukee, where
be had not discover it. Like the
horizon and end of a rainbow, it was
hard to get at.
RECORD OF REPUBLICANIsM
This was a strong canvass for the
election of President. On one side
was the candidate of the Republican
party, which had put down the
greatest rebellion of history, enamel
pated four millions of slaves, estah-
lished an excellent financial system,
drawn d railroad through TO the Pa
cific, secured equal rights to men of
all classes and races, triumped over
greater obstacles, and made u clear
er record than any party we ever
heard.
GREELEY's NOMINATION AN INSULT TO
DEMOCRACY.
He would not insult the old party
to which be once belonged, aud for
which he felt the tenderness of q
natnralized citizen for his native
land, by holding it responsible for
the ticket on the other side, when a
man had been forced on it as a can
didate who had never belonged to
the party, on pretence that the con-
dition of the country made it neces-
sary. From 1861 to 1865, when the
national existence was trembling in
the balance, when rebel artillery was
trained on the capital, there was
nothing in the state of the nation to
make the Democratic party give up
it's organization. In 1864 it met
and resolved that the war had failed
to restore the Union and nominated
strictly party ticket. However, /
am told by Gratz Brown that the
country was in danger so much
greater than that OF the rebellion
that the fiend of war psled before it,
and in the interest of the public good
it bad dissolved and died.
POLITICAL POST MoRTEM.
He processes to tell how this party
was brought to death. In August
and September last there was a
ring of thieves in New York known
as the Tammany organization, which
had such thorough control of the city
government of New York that they
could do just a. they pleased. and
transferred the peoples money by
millions from the public Golfers.
Finally their corruption was so fla
grant and foul that it came to the
surface, and the people of New York
became aroused. They held meet.
ing and raised committee of seven
ty, to investigate TAmmany frauds.
CORRUPT EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIARY.
Great difficulties were encounter
ed, as it was found the courts were
utterly corrupted by the ring. The
city officers and autho. ty were in
their hands, and they were backed
by the Governor of the State. They
exposed the most guilty frauds, they
tried in vain to bring the rascals to
justice, and they appealed to the
State. The people repudiated Tam
many by an immense majority. A
new Legislature was chosen, and a
majority against the ring passed bills
to secure reform and deliver the city
from the thieves.
THE RING WITH AN EYE ON THE CAPT.
AL.
The Democratic Governor return.
ed their bills There is not strength
enough to pass them over the vetoe I.
The city was again delivered over TO
tuc VI l. bbto
victory the ring this spring were
again in council, and found nerve 10
look around. Like Satan of old,
they exclaimed: What though the
field be lost, all is not lost" They
had still control ofthe corrupt courts,
the city government and the head Of
the State. They took new courage ;
they looked TO the nations capital.
HOPES OF INCREASED PLUMBER.
If q single Court house would
yield q nine million corruption fund
in q city of 8 million of people, what
could not they realize from the
buildings of q great nationH If they
could plumber twenty millions o.
dollars from one city in four years
what could they not reach if they
could gain possession of the United
States government and have forty
millions of people, with all the Court
houses, Postofices and Custom
