CHICAGO Journal: "It now comes
out that Hon. j. r. Doolittle was the
manipulation by whose magic power the
contest for United States Senator in Wis
consin terminated in the choice of Angus
Cameron as Matt. Carpenters successor.
Judge Doohttle spent a day or two at
Madison as peace-maker and compro-
miser, and it was he who consolidated
the opposition element on Mr.. Cam
eron.
A DISTINGUISHED member of the United
States Senate sticks to old clothes from
policy. He owes an election to them,
he says. One of his friends stumped
district for him in which he was unpop-
ular because they said he was an arlsto-
crat. So tAristocrat, indeed" said the
speaker, with great enthusiasm, "you
ought to see him. Why, every rag of
clothes he has in the world isn't worth
$10."
In recent letter to personal friend,
Judge Christiancy, the new Senator from
Michigan, is credited with saying
Sc The manner of my election leaves me
at liberty to support or oppose measures
upon their merits, according to my con-
victions of right, and with reference to
the interests of the whole country,
rather than for any partisan ends and
propose to avail myself of that liberty on
all proper occasions.

been reelected.
As THERE is some controversy regard
ing the political creed of Mr. Carpenters
successor in the Senate from Wisconsin,
we present the opinions respectively of
the Republican and Democratic organs
at the new Senator'S home, Lacrosse.
The Republican regards the efforts of
the Democracy to claim Mr.. Cameron as
I" simply malignant, and aays he hearti-
1y indorses the policy pursued by Presi-
dent Grant and his subordinates. The
Democrat thus defines the status of the
new Senator
Democratic and Reform papers, are speaking Of
Republicann = an g Independent Republican. "
