ing, Col Rusk drove away the confed-
crates and captured and held the
bridge It was after this battle that
Gen. Mower sent for him, and in the
presence Of his whole staff said: ''By
-, sir, you are the only man I ever
saw who could ride deeper into HI
than can" For his brave capture OF
this bridge he was breveted brigadier
general after the war.
At the close of the rebellion Gen.
Rusk returned to Wisconsin, where he
was at once elected bank comptroller
for the unexpired term of 1S66-67 His
reelection for the two ensuing years
followed. When this second term ex-
pired he went to congress, being elect
ed by the biggest majority ever given
to any congressman in any district of
Wisconsin.
He was unanimously reelected to the
Forty-third congress, no democrat be-
ing willing to run against such pop
ular opponent. He also served in the
Forty-fourth congress. In the house of
representatives he was member OF
the important committees on war,
public lands, mines and mining, agri-
culture and pensions. For two terms
he was chairman of the committee on
pensions, and during his last two
years he was chairman of the commit
tee on agriculture.
In 1877 he retired from congress and
went back to his farm. In the spring
of 1881 President Garfield offered to
make him charge d'atfaires to Para
quay and Uruguay, minister to Dem
mark, or chief of the bureau of en-
craving and printing. He refused
them all, and that fall was elected
governor of Wisconsin by a plurality
of 11,967. In 1882 constitutional
amendment extended the term of Office
OF all state officers from two years to
three. In 1884 he was reelected gov
ernor by 1929 plurality and in 1856
chosen governor for third time by
1878 plurality. Gov. Rusk occupied
the gubernato chair longer than
any other governor in Wisconsin Dur
ing his last term the anarchist riots
took place in Milwaukee. This was
just after the Haymarket massacre in
Chicago. Gov Rusk concentrated the
entire militia of the state in Milwau-
kee within few hours His prompt
and stern action gave anarchy its
death blow in Wisconsin.
He prevented railroad riot by send
ing the starving workmen food instead
OF troops. This wise act made him the
idol OF the laboring classes 1t Is uni
versally admitted that de could have
had fourth term for the asking. He
went out OF office at the end of ls5s
the most popular governor Wisconsin
ever had. The 18th Of the next March
he was nominated by President Har-
rison TO be secretary OF agriculture.
This office he held until Secretary
Morton succeeded him last spring. In
1855 he was the unanimous choice OF
Wisconsin for the republican presi-
Dental nomination. He withdrew
