THE WISCONSIN ELECTION.

THE result of the late election in
Wisconsin was for some time a matter
of doubt. That this should be the
case at | O'Clock OF the morning sue
ceeding general election, is startling
to those who remember that two years
ago Wisconsin gave a Republican ma
jority of over $4,000 with nothing
more exciting in the canvass than at
present, and that one year ago ma.
jority of nearly 10000 was rolled up
for the national Republican ticket.
| The reason for the sweeping away of
| these magnificent maiorities is to be
| found in two sources; first, the exist
ence of ring of corrupt politicians
| which has undertaken to control q
great party in the State when it is
| hardly competent to control a petty
township; and second, the want of
manliness and sense shown by the
Republican State Convention in deal
ing with an important question which
came before 1T for consideration,
Under ordinary circumstances the
Republican majority in the State this
year would have been almost, if not
fully, equal to that given for Gen.
Garfield in 1880. Before the meeting
of the Republican convention many
of the Democratic leaders had ex-
pressed themselves strongly in favor
of giving up their organization en-
tirely. 1t had become so worn out
and exhausted that there was hardly
the semblance of vitality about it, and
the smallest degree of good sense in
the management of the Republican
organization would have given the
final blow to the expiring Democracy
of WisconSion. Instead of this, how
ever, the convention, under the boss
ship of the little creatures known as
"The Custom House Gang" proceeded
to outrage the popular sentiment by
nominating for the chief Office of the
State man who was known to have
been one of their active coadiutors in
the diSgraceful senatorial elections of
last winter, and then refused to treat
with decent respect question which
had been presented to the legislature
by the petitions of tens of thousands
of citizens, and to the convention it.
self with the endorsement of re-
spectacle portion of its own member
ship. To these causes might be added
third in the conduct of the candi-
date for governor himself after re-
ceiying his nomination, but this was a
natural consequence of the ring rule
by which he was guided and may be
considered a part of it.
Whether the completed returns shall
show him elected or defeated by a
small majority, the lesson of the cleo
ton will be equally obvious. 1t is
that the Republicans of Wisconsin
viii not submit passively to be ruled
by any greedy combination, and espe-
cially by a combination destitute of
ordinary judgment and good sense;
and that they do not approve of the
Sinking of questions of real public
Importance. The party can afford
even to be defeated, under the cir
cumstances, if this lesson shall bring
its appropriate results, and prevent in
the future the occurrence of such acts
as have brought about SO remarkable
revolution.

RIVER FALLS WISCONSIN. THURSDAY
THE ELECTIONS.

I
| The political cyclone which was at
first supposed to have swept over this
State on Tuesday, Nov. Sth, buryine
the Republican party under the weight
of Democratic, Prohibition and Green,
back organizations is found to have
been very mild in its effects, as more
full returns assure the election of the
entire Republican ticket by maiorities
ranging from 5000 to 5000. The ap.
athy of the Republicans allowed the
Democrats to gain several members
of the legislature, although the Re-
publicans still have large working
majority in each branch. The result
indicates desire on the part of the
people to continue the party which has
done so much for the State ana Ma
ton, in power and assures us of wise
and economical administration of State
affairs tor the next two years with a
good prospect of having the party con-
tinued in power for an indefinite time
as such complications are not again
likely to arise III political circles for
many years TO come, as menaced the
party and embarrassed the nominees
in the late campaign.
The Republican party had apparent
ly grown SO strong in this State, as
to have little fear of opposition. and
when the nomination of the Democrat
ic ticket created no enthusiasm among
the leaders of that party, success to
Republicans only seemed more certain
and little or no effort was made to
quell the discords which had arisen
among Republicans. The discords in
the Republican ranks were famed in
to life by the opposition, and the cam
paign of the Democratic party was not
made on its record or the superiority
of its nominees, but almost wholly on
the mistakes of the Republicans and
by magnifying the disaffections in that
party which had the effect to cause
large number of Republicans to re-
frain from voting.
While the Republican party has
been successful there has been large
falling off in its vote and the Demo
cratic party has made large gains con-
vincing the Republicans of facts
which no argument could have done
before election. The lessons to be
learned from the fall campaign are
many, not the least of which is the
fact that one of the first things neces-
sary to success is harmony within the
party, and another that the party
which has given the great State of
Wisconsin two monopolists to repre-
sent her in the U. S. Senate must
guard with greatest care the interests
of all the people, else defeat will over
take it when in the apparent hight of
it's success.

STATE BOARD OF SUPERVISION.

The State Board of Supervision of
the char liable, reformatory and penal
institutions of Wisconsin was last win
ter created in obedience to the gener-
al demand for change in the man.
agement of these institutions. We
heartily favored the change and are
firm in the belief that fair trial of
the new system will prove its great
superiority over the old, but as this
innovation threw twenty-eight politi-
clans out of office and substituted but
five therefor those who got left natu-
rally did not take kindly to the
scheme, and some of them, together
with their friends, are quietly en-
deavoring to work up public senti-
ment that shall call for a restoration
of the old order of things. Under the
old system the hospitals for the in
sane were run upon the most munifi-
oHV ' - OF
each, it is said, having bea' ,sod 60,
ii uSeu IOl
the superintendent and his family and
"sOc' -; they had commodious
.,arlors and reception rooms, with
gorgeous carpetings and elaborate fur
niture, carriages and hsrses, conserva.
tories and other luxurious appurten.
ances of the most extensive and cost.
ly description they gave parties and
entertained their guests with prince
~ hospitality, and they lived on a
scale of magnificence and grandeur
surpassed by but few if any of the
most wealthy private citizens of the
State, for which the taxpayers had to
pay. When the Board of Supervision
took charge, this extravaganza was
abolished. so far as the State is con.
cerned, and the management of these
institutions established upon business
principles. The superintendent
were deprived of many of the luxurles
at the expense of the State in which
they had INDUCED themselves, and
many economical changes were made
in other directions without in any
way imparing the efficiency or COM
pleteness with which the institutions
were managed. In referring to this
matter an exchange says:
1.-THE effort to abolish the new
Board, which is making these revolu
tions will be urged with good deal
of force and pertinacity. All those
who were beneficiaries of the old prof
ligate plan of management will work
to have it restored. The local boards
will work to get it back into power
The old oligarchies will stir up things,
to secure a return to their former
functions, the authority to again ex.
pend the States moneys, and the fat
things which they had in contracts,
bank deposits, in purchases of sup
plies and in providing the armies OF
employees at the institutions.
Members of the legislature will dc
well to heed the demand of the PEG.
pie that their charitable, reformatory
and penal institutions be more eco.
nomically conducted than under the
old system, and we trust that the
present sy stem viii be given fair
and thorough trial.

LARGE numbers of Mormon mission
aries are being sent out from Utah,
mostly to the Southern States and to
Europe. twenty-five passed through
Omaha on single train recently, nine
of them bound for the old country, a
number for the South, one for Kansas,
and one for Pennsylvania. Their pro-
fessed object is TO preach Mormonism
and to organize Mormon societies, but
really they are of course immigration
agents.

For several months past the State
Superintendent has been engaged in
preparing quite an extensive circular
ON school houses, which is soon to be
published at the expense of the State.
There has heretofore been nc special
work upon this subject accessible to
eur school boards, and school houses
have usually been built according to
the ideas of the district board in office
at the time the work was required,
without any guide TO go by, and many
