Special Dispatch to The Chicago 1Tbu0e.
MADISON, July 3.-The Republicans VINO
congregate about the Capital have become
alarmed at the strength of the Greenback
sentiment in the State. The Weaver party
are working quietly but very earnestly, anu
they confidently expect to poll at least as
large vote i'll Wisconsin as Mr.. E. T. Allls
did when he ran for the Goyernorsllip i'll 1871
That was between 1900 and 2s,ooo Last
wear Reuben May got but about 7,oo, the
other 20, 600 havin. gone back over to Smith,
as they originally belonged in the Republican
party. The theory OF the Democrats Just nov @
IS that Hancock will poll from 1000 TO S,oo
more votes than were cast for James G- zen"
kins, the last Democratic candidate Tor COY
ernor, and that Weaver will secure from H.
000 to 10000.
THIS WOULD DEFEAT
the Republican Electors andIsive the stare ai t.
Hancock. This theory, whether u ot VII We.
founded or not, has become the poli11cal 81: ~.

In 1877, Allis would have polled at least 30

Past, about "Gold in Solution Ia
Cals,oga Springs. and about the pro.
prietor's having extracted Il. UGU IN
gold of the utmost iineness from ten
barrels of the water" during the past
fortnight, by process known only TO
him self. This will surprise many Of
your readers, but it does not surprise
me, for 1 once owned those springs
myself. What does surprise me, how
ever, is the falling CT in the richness
Of the water. In my time the yield
was a dollar dipperful. l am not say
ing this to injurc the property, in case
sale is contemplated; L anu only say
ing it in the interest of history. 1t
may be that this hotel proprietor S pro-
cess is an inferior one-yes, that may
be the fault. Mine was to take my
uncle-I had an extra uncle at that
time, on account of his parents dying
and leaving him on my hands--and I'LL
him up. and let him stand fifteen
minutes to give the water chance to
settle we'll, then insert him in an ex-
haustea receiver, which had the effect
of sucking the gold out through his
pores. / have taken more than Sll,-

springs but for the badness of the
roads and the difficulty OF getting the

consider that goid-sield;ny water
in many respects remarkable; and yet
not more remarkable than the gold
bearing air Of Catgut Canyon, up there
toward the head of the auriferous
range. This air or this wind-for it
is kind of trade wind which blows
steadily down through 600 miles If rich
quartz groupings during an hour and a
quarter every day except Sundays, is
heavily charged with exquisitely fne
and impalpable gold. Nothing precipi-
tates and solidifes this gold SO readily as
contact with human flesh heated by pas
sion. The time that William Abra-
hams was disappointed in love, he used
10 step out doors when the wind was
blowing, and come in again and begin
to sigh, and his brother Andover j.
would extract over $50 cut Of every
Sigh he sighed, right along. And the
time TINT John HARRISON and Aleck
Norton quarreled about HARRISON s
dog, they stood there swearing at each
ether all they knew how-and what
they didn't know about swearing they
couldn't learn from you and me, not by
good deal--and at the end Of every
three or four minutes they had to stop
and make a dividend-if they didn't
their jaws would clog up so that they
couldn't get the big nine syllabled ones
out at all-and when the wind was done
blowing they cleaned up just little
over 81 600 apiece. know these facts
to be absolutely true, because I got
them from man whose mother I knew
personally. I do not suppose person
could buy water privilege at Claistoga

cations along the course of the Catgut
