with Horace Rublee as its guiding
spirit. The first number appeared
on the morning of the Sd inst, and
already it has attained to a popular
favor never accorded to any other
Wisconsin journal through years Of
life. 1t is Republican in sentiment,
of course, and will prove powerful
aid in disseminating the principles
of that party. Mr.. Rublee's name is
sufficient guarantee that it will be
something more than a mere organ
to blindly play on partisan strings
attuned by party bosses, or become
an instrument for advancing personal
ambitious.
No one wishing to keep abreast Of
State affairs, and to obtain at all
times the most reliable information
and the best defined views of public
questions, can afford to be without
the Milwaukee RepuJljcae. In size
| it is somewhat less than the Chicago
dailes, in form the same. Printed
at Milwaukee in the morning it
reaches here the same evening. 1t
gives accurate and full commercial
reports from all quarters, and tele-
graphic news the same as the Chica-
20 dailies. 4 handsome weekly edi-

prepared to furnish the TRIBUNE
subscribers at one d0Llar per year.

In matters of history, 1t is well TO

are at stake. la answer to the
claims of Mr.. Reyes friends that he

long and answering fidelity to the
| Republican cause, the GAINESVILLE
Rec0rcier and writer in the Chi
cago Times brings against him two
charges Of recreaucy to the party,
viz: [. That in 1860 a State Couven-
ton was called to nominate caudi-
date for Chief Justice Of the Suprem
! Court; that MIR. A Scott Solan was

,Iohuson,--a meeting which the
Madison J02n7ial said was composed
mainly of Copperheads-Mr. keyes

1t is not true that a Republican
/ State Convention was called in 1860
