Lotter from Senator Howe ON the Ap-
preaching Senatorial Elcction-B1r.
Carpenter In His Relations 70 the
ssGag Law'' and the Salary Grab.
MILwAUKEE, Dec 2 1874
In reply to . request from prominent citizens,
Senator Howe has written letter with respect to
the approaching election OF United States Sem
ator from this state. He assumes that the choice
OF the Legislature win fall upon Mr.. Carpenter or
Mr.. washburne, and says both are deservedly dis
tinguisned the latter for the soldtty OF his
sells and the former for the brlliancy OF hts advo
cacy. with respect to the specific charges against
Senator Carpenter he says thas only Two
have really prejudiced him in the pupllc
estimation. One ts that he supported the 'tPoand
Gag iawn the other that he supported she "Salary
Grab law.n The frsr charge rests upon an utter
misconceptton OF the law, which has no more re-
latlon to the freedom OF the press than any other
Salary bill Mr.. Howe thinks Mr.. Carpenter made
made the same mistake In 1855, when member or
the lower House.
In conclusion, he says Of Senator Carpenter,
that he has achieved the first honor OF the Senate
and has done as much TO distinguish Wisconsin
and tne West as any man the West ever sent 10
Washington, and, while he does not mean to dts
parage the efforts OF Others he thinks that no one
man did so much as Mr.. Carpenter In the late
canvass to rescue the republican party In Wiscon-
SIN from the defeat which surprised 1t one year
