SENATOR CARPENTER delivered an adj
dress at the Academy of Music, Mil
waukee, on the evening of the 9th. The
large hall was packed full o'clock,
and hundreds were unable to secure adj
mittance. The speaker referred briefly
to his recent defeat, which he attributed
largely to his opposition to the railroads.
Hepaid high compliment to Mr.. Gamer
on, Senator-elect, whom he knew to be
a firm and consistent Republican. He
reviewed at some length the recent
speech Of ex-senator Doolittle, and
commented severely upon the recon-
mendations Of that gentleman for the
abolition of the secret ballot and the es-
Enlistment of educational qualification
IN the South. In conclusion he urged
his friends to forget personal disappoint-
ments and remain true to the party.

THE Chicago & Northwestern and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
Companies have presented memorial to
the Legislature. In it is set forth facts
and figures concerning the cost of trans
poration and the injustice of the Potter
law. We believe the people Of Wiscon-
sin are generous and desire to do what
is right by the railway companies, and
now that they have come before our rep
resentatives are showed willingness to
reason-have got off from their high
horse, in fact, and acknowledge that the
will of the majority shall rule-we hope
the Legislature will do all in it's power
to give them the free benefit of their
rights in the premesis, and while protec
ting the interests of the people, also pro-
tect the railways. But we want to put
in solemn protest against the repeal Of
the Potter Law, believing that by mod
flying some Of it's provisions and adopting
a far rate of tariff, the interests Of the
people and the corporations will be sub
served. Be generous but firm.

THE SPRING ELECTIONS. IF Mayor Wick
ham is not above the ambition of running
for Mayor in the spring he should so shape
his canvass now that he may be accepted by
some one Of the parties who will then strug-
gle for tho ascendancy in our government.
The feeling in favor of changing the election
from autumn to the spring is so universal
that it is not too much for us TO look upon it
as certain as anything can be. The way for
the Mayor to win the forfeited esteem Of the
people is to take ground against the one-man
power of Tammany Hall, bosom friendship,
politied dictation and the abandopment Of
