THE GREENBACKERS CAP.
TCRE THE WISCONSIN
ASSEMBLY.

1t is with great pleasure we an
nounce to our readers that the Green
back party has secured the election
of one of their number as speaker Of
the Assembly of our neighboring
state of Wisconsin. The Republicans
made super-human efforts to effect a
coalition with the hard-money Dem
ocrats, but there was only one man,
a Milwaukee representative, who
could be induced to leave his party.
The following report gives the main
facts:
"A full Democratic assembly eau
ems met ut 40 p. m. in the capitol.
Forty members were present. Finn.

Condit, of sparta. were sent IS a COM

alterations or amendments, the same
shall be valid, to all intents and pur-

Now when the canvassing of the
amendments voted on last fall came up
for consideration on the 10th inst, in
the joint convention of both houses,
it was shown that over 100000 voters
were present and voted at the last
general election. while the amend

tive and negative votes, but SSH
votes; of which about $4,000 were
cast in favor Of the amendments.
which was about one third of the
whole number present and voting
and $1,000 less than majority ! !!
| Time was asked to obtain the opinion
of the attorney general and of the
eminent lawyers; and the question
was also raised that the Constitution
required that the several amendments
should be voted on separately, :
whereas they were all voted together
on the same ticket. But Il partisan
