TO the Editor Qf The Tribune,
CHICAGO, Jan. 13--An article in your paper
Of this morning, purportng to represent the
substance Of an interview held with me last
evening, ,1nintcntionally misrcprescnts the sub
stance Of that interview, and does injustice to
the Company which I in part represent, as we'll
as myself. Two questions were put to me by
your reporter: First, ''Docs the Company re-
cognizc any liability to those personally injured
or to friends OF dcceascd?'' Second, aWill the
Company pay tue sul1erers?" To the first query
! answered substantially that the bridge was a
finished structure; that there was no negligence
and consequently no liability.
To the second question gave no assurance of
any kind. referred your reporter to the fact
that the policy Of the Company had been for
many years to adjust all claims, and, in a meas
ure, regardless OF aIl question OF liability, but
whether that policy would now be continued
had no knowledge or information. and could
draw no inference save what might fairly be
dcduced from the past history Of the Com
pany. Trusting that you will give this correc-
tion PLACE in your next issue, remain, very
respectfully, G. D. KoYs.

JUDGE HUMPHREYS VOTE.

EDTToRs JOURNAL If "Tylerizing
leads to immortalization, our Member
of Congress. Judge Humphrey, has
sup aud DONE it. Scanning the vote
of last Friday, on the repeal of the
Resumption Bill of 1875. the House has
put itself on record, by vote of. lSS
to 100. in favor of such repeal. Judge
Fl. S name appearing among those vot-
ing AYE" How the Judge viii JUS
tify himself, concerning this vote, in
the eyes of the many thousands of Re-
publicans in this Congressional dis
triet, who believed him to be not only
sound on the financial question, but
also an honest man, remains to be
seen. The Judge is either politically
honest or a political knave. If his
vote on Friday is the result of honest
conviction, when has conversion come
over him! Does he not know that
during the campaign which resulted
in his election by a majority which
runs into the thousands, his opponent
made this very repeal of the Resump-
ton Act the issue, and that upon this
issue the people rendered verdict by
electing the Judge as stated! And
does he not know that, since 1875, the
people of Wisconsin have again eX-
pressed themselves upon this question,
in such emphatic and forcible lam
guage that even Member of Congress
might not be mistaken! And does he
not know that his very district, only
three weeks ago, cried out, as with a
voice of thunder. against the repeal for
which he has just voted
1t is not at all likely chat the Judges
slumbers will be in the least disturb
ed by any criticisms that may be pass
ed upon his political conduct, for he
is, for another year at least, beyond
regarding the wishes of those who
consider him a safe man and, hence,
hon0red-yes. hoRored-him with their
suffrages. No, this is not likely. But
it may be well enough to acquaint the
people with the doings of their repre-
sentatives, for occasionally--say, once
in two years-there is an opportunity
to relegate the faithless to private
life. And, if the writer has anything
like correct idea of the temper of the
Republicans in this district, they will
deal with Judge Humphrey as he de-
serves. REPUBLICAN,.

The Hudson True Republican affects
to believe that this paper is not in
sympathy with the popular sentiment
in favor of taxing the lands belonging
to the West Wisconsin Railway Com
pany and requiring faithful perform
ance of its obligations by the North
Wisconsin Railway because we did not
publish the excellent and unequivocal
card of Doctor Andrews which WAS
issued in circular form the day before
election. The card was not published
till November 9Th and our last issue
previous to the election was November
LIST. The card was issued TO counter
act Influences which the True Repub-
lican ring sought to shed abroad. and
served its purpose before our issue of
the Sth instant, hence there was no
occasion for its publication in our col
umns. The platform upon which Doc

as the card in question, set him right
before the people, and contain senti-

AsCENDENCY IN THE
SENATE.

Indications now point to the proba-
bilitv that the Democratic party will
gain complete control of the United
States Senate soon after Congress
meets in regular session if it does not
attain this end during the last days of
the present special session. The as
tendency of the Democracy in the
higher branch of our national council
being inevitable, the sooner it comes
the better will it be for the future of
the Republican party as well as the
people. Though the Democratic party
has during the past few years made
rapid strides towards the goal of its
ambitiOn-cOntrol of the government
it seems to have been attended by a
strange fatality which we believe viii
surely accompany it in its control OF
the Senate. If it secures that body at
this early day it will be through the
aid of those adventures. elected from
the South as Republicans. whom they
have so unsparingly denounced as car
pet-baggers devoid of all principles of
honor, but the sins of whom, in the
eyes of their tradueers. will suddenly
be washed away by utilization with
their former political adversaries-
With Hayes in the Presidential chair
and Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives, the Senate
can well be spared to our opponents
for time, as the veto power will
prove a check TO ruinous legislation,
while the responsibility for all legis-
lation. or failure 70 pass needed laws,
will be thrown wholly upon the DEM
ocratic party. and the country will
have an opportunity to witness that
transcendental purity inthe legislative
department of our national govern
ment which has been for years SO pro-
fusely promised by Democratic ora
tcrs-should their promises be kept
