WILLIAM r. TAYLOR.

personal acquaintance We knew that he
was President of the Wisconsin State Ag-
ricultural society. During the State Tair
at Milwaukee he was reelected Presi
dent Of the Society and he was nominated
by a joint Convention at Milwaukee con
sis ing OF ths OLD Bourbon Democracy,
Liberals and Reformcrs, in the proper
ton of nine Of every ten and perhaps OF
nineteen Of every twenty of the Democ-
racy to both the others. It was immedi-
ately charged by the State Journal, az
we'll as by Cher papers,and it has several
times repeated the charge,that Taylor APP
pointed committee To again nominate
him for President. and it now charges
til this committee was a. packed COM
mittee furnished by the Milwaukee Demo.
cratic Regency. The State Journal also
charges that this same regency summoned
convention of threadbare, burnt out
polItitions to Milwaukee on the care of
lts employers. and packed it to nominate
the tools of its employers. And the State
Journal is generally good authority for
y hat it charges. s3 @ H@ 1850
w hether.Taylor appointed 8 packed
committee furnished by the Milwaukee re>
gency to secure his re UlCction will re-
qnire something more to create anbelie
than the denial of that same regency. And
no denial of that regency would convince
the public that tho conventions which
nominated Taylnr was not packed for the
purpose Of securing his uomination. The
railroad companies and thu regency knew
! their man ADD secured his nom uation for
Governor. And = filter man they PRADA
/ bly, could not find. He has always been
a Democrat, and just now he begins to
think of exercising SEINE control aver rail
road mOnopoIies in order to Lessen extrav
sgant railroad freights. In speaking on
this subject in his opening speech at th.
State Fair be said ut is my opinion that
the time has now come to exercise this
power, delegated twenty-five years ago to
the Legislature by the people for THAR
pr election" With Taylor The time has
now come. With Washburn it came
twenty five years ago. The force of cir.
cumstances brings from Taylor the ex
preston that the time has now come to
exercise this power. Gov. Washburn
supported by the Republican prrty, is
now battling With railroad monopolies to
secure reasonable transportation and to.
exercise just control over them. The
Bourbon Democracy, protesting to be
metamorphosed into reform party, and
to be acting with the Liberal Reformers
must ma ke some pretensions through their
candidates of being opposed to monopo-
lies aud in favor of reform. AAd Mr..
Taylor, in his opening speech at the Fair,
almost simultaneously with his nomina-
ton, gave expression to these pretensions
in the above quoted memorable words
Nominated by the regency and the rail
road moncpOlistS, and wltho It experience
In Office, as Governor, he would be con-
troEled by the men and Interests which
nominated him and secured his election
John M. Cary of the regency,and attorney
Of the Milwaukee aud S.. Paul railroad
and stakeholder and officer of the Wis
consin Railroad Company, would not then
find Gov. Washburn IN his way in getting
control of the st. Croix Lard Grant Lands
without building the road nor w0ul
the editor of the Nea0s find HIM in his way
in getting an old trumped up claim al
lowed and paid, u hich has beeDs often re
jected because the original claim had been
more than twice paid already. The in
terests Of the reg ncy,and the monopolsts,
and the cOrruptions, are ut stake in their
failure to get Gov. Washburn out Of their
way and to elect Taylor. Whatever TAy.
lor might be under different influences,
elected under the influences which have
brought him before he people, he would
be the tool Of the meu and interests which
secured his nomination and election. And
Of all kinds Of men saca Is the last kind
from which IL Governor should,be chosen,
andof all men Mr.. Taylor is not the right
man to administer the affairs of the State
at the present time.
