This most perfectly German OF all American
cities, having nearly half as many Germans as
Americans 1t, and which is also, by coincidence
the city where such superb lager beer Is brewed
that they export it in casks to Europe, is one Of
the best points to derive some knowledge OF the
progress OF
THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IN THE STATE.
There is q very serious detection or ABOLITION re-
publicans here ana general detection OF the Ger
man voters. The local German vote has always
been seventy-fve per cent democratic, and hence
the Sundays in Milwaukee and through the State
are glimpses Of the Germans paradise. The hand
of Neal Dow and the Maine law il paralyzed over
these borders; strong lager flows; the brewerias,
standing In the midst OF fowery hop country, are
ut work day and night boiling and maling and
none dare molest or make the votary OF Gambrlnus
afraid.
Nine out OF ten OF these Germans who are not
democrats are generally admitted to be for Gree
ley, and also the whole sevcnty-hve per cent OF
German democrats. Greeley's picture is in all the
lager beer saloons. and he has two-thirds OF the in
nuentlal circulation OF the newspaper press.
In 1868 the republican majority Grant in Wis
consin was about twenty-iour thousand; but in
1871, under the gradual .rctrocesslon OF the Ger
mans and the slow dsintcgration OF tho ruling
party, the majority for the republican Governor
was only about ten thousand. The natural re-
publican majority in staid ana undivided times Is
about fifteen thousand. The liberals are confident
OF beating this and claim that
GREELEY WILL HAVE TEN THOUSAND MAJORITY
in the State.
Not only is the German detection general, but
there Is universal! detection OF primary abOli-
tionists, OF whom Wyman Spooner, OF Elkhorn,
forty miles from Milwaukee. is an example. This
old gentleman aged about seventy, was for sixteen
years Lieutenant Governor Circuit Judge, &c, and
was tie pet and pride of the freesoll and repub-
lican parties He voluntarily gave up office during
the war and retired with the respect and admira-
ton of every citizen. Being In poor health he
spent last Winter at Carbondae, ILL.,, near Gov
ernor Palmer, OF that State and. there he fell to
comparing notes and watching the turn Of events.
Spooncr was no sorehead but he alleged that he
had discovered in the progress OF things
A SINISTER DEVELOPMENT or CORRUPTION
ard evil government. He disseminated those con-
vicions his return, and Is now upon the Greeley
electoral ticket.
A detection from Grant OF nearly equal consequence
is that OF O. NJ Tyler, chairman Tor ten years of the
Republican State Committee. lie is banker-no
sorchead in any sensc-and O. man of large possess
sions and the fullest responsibility. Mr.. Tyler says
that without change Of administration the pros
perity of the country will prove to be fictitious
within two years. and the mOnop0lsts of the period
will consume the substance Of the people and
assume the government by purchasing the domi-
nant party. to

which used to be good for 500 and 900 majorites in
Lincolns and Pottcr's time the regular republican
party is so nearly disbandcd that betting OF less
than twelve hundred for Greeley commands odds.
This is the State where

to have had at the time about $4,000, derived from

political cminiscencc against Henry Wilson and the

laying up those rich and copious stores of the Eng

diligent student. laying up language upon language
and science upon science, and after he removed to
Detroit to edit the new daily Post there ut sal
