Tho political mountains OF WISCONSIN have
labozed and brought forth ridiculous mouse.
Tho dominant party In TINT State iB now gronn-
Ing because Sat Clark didn't get m Office. 6at
having worked for the election OF the prcsent
Governor and tho success Of the Reform party,
Immediately after the election, like mort other
spaginod patriots who toll for tho good Of tho
country called for his pay. Like soma fastidi-
GUS boggars, who intimate that they would rather
that he would take the Wardenship of the State
Penllentinry, and, according to hiB own state
ment, the Governor promised him he
should have It, and then ungratofully
gave it to some other jailor. He then came
round the SECOND timo, aud informed tho Gov.
ernor that he would take Railway Commission
ership. According to his own statement the
Governor promised him this also, and then gave
1t to another. Twice disappointed In thts cruel
manner, Sat Clark ant down and wrote sharp
lettor, in which he abused tho Governor without
stint for his treaohory and perady, and throat
oned whole series Of disastora to tho Reform
party. Thus far thero is 10 especial nood Of
commont, nor is there ANYTHING inappropriate In
the letter to tho Governor. Ho has the right
to complain Of liH cayalier treatment
the right to abuse the Governor, the right to
rave and threaten and bluster, or make fool Of
himself generally. It ia purely q personal mat
tier between himself and tho Governor. He
may denouncc tho Governor as an ungrateful
wretch, call him cut, Abuae him through the
public prees, refuse to recognize him, cut his
acquaintance and TINT OF hiB family, mover vote
for him again, and teach his children, u ho has
nuy, that Gov. Taylor ia \ monster Of such
frightfui nion as to be hated needs but to be
aeou. No ono would object to all this; 1t Ia
Sat ClarA's clear right. But hore 1t should
bo allowed to end. Instoad OF this, d
| later dispatch states that tho letter has
created great stir among politicians, and that
| it presages disruption Of tho Reform Party !!
DREADFUL II the Reform Party is dependent
upon Sat Clark, or any other damaged politician,
for its existence, II it has no vitality OF it's own,
| IT It is built up on the Wardcnshp Of the peni-
tentiary, tho sooner it dsrupts the batter. We
hope, however, that there Is spunk enough
among the Rotormers Of Wisconsin, to take any
spawned politician by the coat-collar. show him
| tho door, aud lot him do his whining
outside. II there ia any mantiuess. auy indepsnd-
onco, any real stuff in tho Reform Party Of Wis
consn, 1t will tako 10 more heod Of the rails ot
disappointed oi1lcc.sooker than 1t would OF the
blowing Of the wind. II they are going to Hhiv'
er every time sorohoaded politician threatons,
ther had better 90 out OF the reform business
altogether. Sat Clark and hia grievances are os
no more consequence than Tom Jones aud bill
grievances. 1t Ia 4 prtvate nlattor putaly 10.
tween him and Gov. Taylor; and II he
cannot settle It satisfactorily, 1t is simply I
n,nster Of sheer lmpuaence tor him to parable i
before the public; at tue same timo, 1t 10 very
eilly for tho Reform party to get iu fume ant
a ftot this hot woather becauaa soma candidate
for tho Penisentiary LAS not yet got what ho do
