It is to be presumed TINT thoy closed with our

YOUNG MEMS REPUBLICAN CLUB or 11lwAuKEE

In particular, 1t han beon for its dcadIy hostility

| tiona inembor Of tho organization looks With M
! eyo Of dosiro on tho Milwaukee Poat-Ofice.
Very naturally lo concluded, as about evcry Quo

| party to deal with IL the porson WHO donla in
loat-OfIlces. Horo WIS an occasion for fntr
exchange Of commodities. Mr.. Koyes wanted
tho Influence Of tho milwaukee, delegation, and
our needy Club-man wanted tho hTitwaukoo Post
Office. Negotiations wero accordingly opened
md concluded on tliiB basis, though tho
correspondence was concealed from ma
3ority q tho Club; Quite unaware Of
doliver them, tho moat Of tho delegates set out
for Madison, nightly resolved, as was generally
supposed, to ancriaco Koycs or gloriousty perish
in the ntte1npt. Bnt npon thor arrival ut tho
Regency forthwith had hall-a-dozon Of tho t.o1o-
gatcs into private apartment where ho e1fect1i-
ally accomplished tholr r,lin and, through their
mstrumontality contriyed to
CAPTURE TIE WHOLE CROWD.
One diatingushe,d, but modest! member Of tho
Club WAS scducod with tue Craftsmanship OF tho
Convention; while the Post -Otflco per-
son was guaranteed tho article lie was
aeeking rs soon as It could DO flr1,iuhcd under
tho Civil sorrico ruos. According to ngrcomont,
milwaukee, g. ST.. Paul people by voting for
Baker while orr Post Office gentleman mot lis
paper to koycs BY giving out that the delegation
was not opposed to Lis renonination. THUS Our
inmolato Kcyos, found tl,omsclvcs podded out,

Senator Carpenter contributed, by urging TINT
Mr.: Koyos should bo spared: aud lo Ind the

Bono rancor prcvailsil OUR Club over tho results
Of their expedition to Madison. Whether or not
this ill-fecling will culmnato n tho diHorganlza-
| ton Of the concern, ro1nallla to bc Bee1I.
There il no doubt TINT the withdrawal Of
| Nn. a. II. THOMSON
from tho canvass had much to do with shaping
tho affairs Of tllo Elndison Convention. IIiH
action entirely disarrangod tho plans aud p,lr-
poses of tho managers, who lad not time to ro-
construct tlcir Hlatcs or to rodispoao tl.oir
forcos. It has beon given out that, finding tho
grapes ont Of lis roach, ho pronounced them
sour. and loft those to gather tho fruit whose
tastes might ,1rgo them to tho effort necessary
to reach it: Tho atatomont has also boon put
forth that ho drew out Of j" tint crowd because
ho found that ho was not likely to
bo supported BY tho Rock County and
know, may 10 tl1to. Mr. Thomson undoubtedly
became aware that tho Madison Regency was aB-
silnously enacayoring, through tic. agency oi
certain Of Mr.. Carpcntor familiars in this city,
to detach tho Milwaukee, delegation from his
evidently did not care enough about tho office o
Lioutonant-G Governor to reuort to tho intriguing
trading, ana traillcking tactics of his opponents
in order to acquire it. THO simple truth is, uu-
doubtcdly, TINT he Inns no appetite for
THE cH1cANEuY OF POLITICS,
and therefore resolved to retire from the field it
Heason. For tho aalno reasons tint unqueBtion'
