Governor Taylor In Milwaukee.
Governor Taylor's visit to Milwau.

Governor Jay lor's visit to Milwau-
kee, to have ga conference with Rail
road Hidolgoes," referred to by the
Milwaukee Ne,os, March Goth, was
followed by another visit recently. 1t
appears that the SLATE" was not per-
fected the first time. The Chief of
the Geological Survey commenced the
duties for which he was appointed, as
will be seen by the following from the
Seattne5:
Gov. Taylor, who has spent several
days In this city, under the chaperon-
age of his political creator the learned
and eloquent Dr.. Wi-ht, to have the
way to his denomination and re-elec-
ton as chief executive Of the State,
had an excellent opportunity to make
the acquaintance of our city fathers on
Tuesday evening. President Benia-
min of the Common Council, had In
vited his colleagues down to Har-
mony Hall, and after season of con.
gratuatory speeches, as the love-feast
was about to close, the Governor and
bis man Friday were ushered in.
A few moments before, Ludington
and John Black had buried the hatch
ct In the most approved fashion, and
Alderman Wolf, the generous, good
natured representative Of the Fifth
Ward, had volunteered lis blessing,
with the sage but perverted scriptu-
raj remark that now "the lion and the
lamb shall lie down together and
Wolf shall lead'them."
After the Ratchet was formally bur-
led and the grave was sprinkeled with
sparkling monopole. Alderman Rog-
ers moved that the Council adjourn
until the evening after the next cleo
ton, to celebrate the choice of Hon,
Harrison Ludington as Governor of
Wisconsin. All Joined in approval
of the motion
just then, as Mayor Ludington and
Mr.. Rogers had retired, Gov. Taylor
entered, and was introduced and wei
coined. DR.. Wight responded for the
Executive on each and every occasion,
and the love feast was continued until
a late hour in the evening. The Gov
ernor, Wight, Treasurer Kuehn, and
others had visited all the leading sa-
looms to extend their popularity, and
the occasion at Harmony Hall was one
too good to be lost, since political capt.
tai had been the main object of their
visit to the metropolis Of the state.
The initiated hint that the state slate
embraces all the present incumbents
for re nomination and reelection, ex-
eept Parker who may be displaced by
DR.. Wight, as it is limited that he has
an eye upon the chair OF the Lieuten-
ant Governor. II is said that Wight,
who knows as much about the manage
ment Of legislative body as he does
about rocks, thinks Parker unsuited to
the position, and, as he is not satisfied
with the post be now holds, it is not
unlikely that Parker will be Jonahed
By this Reform whale and spouted
ahore.
While Taylor, White and Keuhr
were at the bar Of saloon entertaining
their friends, the subject of the trans
fer of the city printing to the Times
from the Neaos was casually mentioned.
The Governor could not conceive
why the News had been sighted. as it
was the leading Reform organ of the
city.

"But, my dear sir" replied Taylor,
