THE ART GALLEY.
After . long and gallant struggle, the Art
Gallery is at length to be closed, the financial
struggle 80 long maintained having onded in q
prospect too gloomy to Justify the most rosy
vsioned OF Directors in looking for ultimate suc-
cess. This will terminate the connection Of Mr.
B. Ffodsham with art matters in Milwaukee. He
has been an uuselfish, devoted apostle Of art TO
the Badger State, and his reward has been the
firm possession OF his own faish.-aad nothing
more They are going to make tardy amends to
him By voting him testimonial III money.
TIE PosTNAsTEHsH1p-
The new Postmaster, beirg duly subjected to
the pumphande proceas, ssyB he expects to 20
into office the first day Of next month. He wilt
take the first week to get IN insight into matters.
His friends speak quite freely as to the in
fnences that worked for and against his appoint
ment, declaring that Carpenter tr1ed his bost to
have West retalued,-eTcu when at Washington
going to see the Milwaukee Senators on the
subject Allen and Brosdhead too. fought
against Payne, and his triumph is supposed to
be due to the fact TINT Howe was his steadfast
fnend, aud insisted this vindication Was due to
his character, 80 roughly asaailed.
POLITICAL
Great importance attaches to tha State Con-
yention TO be held at Madison on the 22d inst
There is to be strong. very strong, effort made
to smother the miserable sectional aud personal
feeling that has done 80 much damage to the
Republican party in this State. Gov. Ludlngton.
Gen. Atwood. Col. G!nty. Senator Hlner, and to
their credit aad in justice to them be it said,
Henry J. Payne aud Boss Keyes are pledged to
this movement. The intention is to bring every
argument and eyerv possible influence to bearto
drown these small anlmos'tles and to prevent
little personalities influencing the free choice of
tho best men to send TO the National Conven-
ton. This party Of moderation Will iusist that
neither Carpenter nor Washburn should 60 to the
Convention, md, it thls be agreed to, one Of the
probable causes Of discord will be re-
moved. George #. Allen is candidate
for delegate from the State at large from this
part OF the county. He is strong snti-Carpen-
ter man. Fred Horn. Ozauke Count-, is the OPP
posing candidate. He was supporter of Car
peutcr. Carpenters friends advise him not to
present himself as q candidate. as they consider
it advisable neither for his personal advantage
or Of the Republican party that he should do so.
Nashbu1n's friends sav precisely the same
thing; hence there ia really fair ground for
hoping that harmony, not d'acovd will prevail.
The rartg managers in this district say they
will bend every effort toward the election Of
oue Carpenter delegate and one anti Carpenter
delegate, which is falrer than any one expected.
