MILWAUKEE, Nov. Next Tuesdays work
INTELLECTUALLY settle ali political speculation
and conjecture, therefore what is here said
about the outlook at date may be termed
the last run Of shad.n Next weeks letter
win gather the pieces and tell the tale Of the
local battle. Party managers are bracing up
their forces and viii endesvor to go to the
polls with as much of whOOp as possible.
Tonight the Republicans viii burn out what
kerosene they have on hand, and on Mon
day night the Democrats viii parade on the
eve Of battle. The registry indicates that a
heavy vote wiz be polled in the city. In the
thirteen wards total Of IS, SCI names Of
eligible freemenshave been duly inscribed on
the roll, large increase over previous rec
ords. During the irst two months the clerks
Of the United States and municipal courts
have been busy making citizens, and it Is
estimated that the number of new voters thus
turned out for the coming election will exceed
5000. AS the law allows clerks IS cents in
each case the campaign has been pretty good
thing for them. Geo. Pasehen, the Republican
nominee for sheriff, viii probably be defeated,
owing to the ''bolt'' mentioned in a previous
letter. John T. Eldred, the Republican
nominee for register Of deeds, will run away
ahead Of his ticket, and will be elected. he
is very popular except with the postOfice
ring. and mis- friends are rallying around him
TO offset any cut that may be made By the
F..ta. al
hight here is red hot J. w. Van Sehaiek,
the Republican candidate, is making 4 regu-
lar old fashioned saloon canvass, and will
roll up good vote, but 1t does not seem
probable that he viii be chosen instead Of
ais able Democratic opponent, P. V. Deuster.
Many of Van Schaick's warmest friends
pronounce him unfit fer the Office Of con-
gresham, and will probably aid in defeating
him for the good Of the district. Ed. Sander
son, Van Sehaiek's partner in the milling
business, is working hard for him. The
other day he bet John Black 81, 600 that Mil
waukee county will give more votes for
Blaine than for Cleveland; but is understood
that he is anxious TO withdraw the wager.
The only change TO note in the county tickets
is the substitution by the Republicans of r.
&. Reinertsen Tor A. w. Buttles, for the Office
of surveyor. Buttles declined 10 run. Peter
Csssel, Democratic sorehead, still adheres
to bis determination TO run against Albert
and Paschen, for sheriff.
THE EXPOSITION.
AT an informal meeting of the board of di-
rectors Of the exposition, Tuesday evening,
the seeretary's report Of the results of this
years big show was presented. 1t showed
that the attendance for the season had been
SO, 945, and that 7s5 season tickets had been
sold, being nearly twice the number sold
last year. The average daily attendance was
3,O4l, not including season tickets, agains
1902 last year with a season eight days
longer. The total receipts were $24, 1913,
and the expenses as far as can be given
about $780, While this report gives
little encouragement in the way OF atten-
dance, 1t does not promise big dividends to
the stockholders; but as expeditions 60 Il Is
gratifying that the small margin is on the
right side OF the ledger. The board of di-
reetors decided 10 continue the exhibition
Of the panorama Of the battle Of Lookout
mountain two days week during the win
ter, and from O'Clock to 6 O'Clock D. m.
on Sundays. The main hall of the building
viii be Immediately converted into q magnI-
ieent roller rink. The lessees have secured
permission to remove the large central foun-
tain in order TO have an unobstructed floor
POORLY ENCOURAGED.
Inc art gallery in the exposition of 1884,
now closed, contained collection of paint
ings the like Of which was never before seen
in Milwaukee. 1t was the featdre of the ex-
position, and with the famous Bradford col
lection Of Arctic paintings deserved all that
could be said by the most enthusiastic art
lover. But the sales were so discouragingly
small as to cause fear that the management
viii not be able to secure so fine an exhibit
for future expeditions. Artists paint for
money, and need money for the practical
purposes Of life, the same as workers in more
prosaic fields; and when they send their
works long distances, 1t is not for praise
alone-although adulation counts for good
deal with some people-but for the hard
cash. Milwaukee has attained quite 3 name
as an art center, but as yet the more practical
encouragement for poets with pigments is
wanting. Mr.. Bradford, the Attic artist,
effected a sale Of two OF his paintings, and
has gone to Chicago with his collection. He
made an attempt TO lecture on Arctic seem
cry, but was so poorly patronized that he
shut down in disgust, lighter in pocket than
when he commenced.
