Mr.. Quarles, the junior Senator
elect of Wisconsin, is a lawyer of
high standing in the legal profess
sion, a scholar of solid and varied
erudition, an orator of fine presence
and fervid eloquence, a man Of ma
ture and sound judgment in the
vigor of life, a citizen and gentleman
of wide acquaintance whose char
acter is commended in all things.
By education and mental training
he S eminently equipped for the
duties devolving upon an active
statesman and his eloquence and
effectiveness as a public speaker will
win for him a place in the front
rank of ready debaters among his
learned colleagues in the Senate.
The legislature is to be congrat-
ulated and the Republican members
commended for the wisdom of their
action in bringing the protracted
contest to happy end in the cleo
ton of Mr.. Quarles as United States
Senator. While the contest was
prolonged it seems to have developed
nothing of acrimony, bitterness or
cherished jealousies to be deplored,
or wounds to tester and disturb the
harmony of political action. And
it is fortunate that no faint of cor
ruption can attach to the senatorial
election in Wisconsin.
1t was a square, fair, good natured
contest and all readily acquiesce in
the result.
The other candidates contesting
for the senatorial toga manifested
good judgment, loyalty to their
party and patriotism to the country
in Withdrawing from the fight in
favor of Mrs. Quarles as they did.
Mr.. Quarles was the evident choice
of large plurality in the Legislature
and his candidacy received more
general support throughout the
state than that of any other man.
After the 4th of March Wisconsin
will be represented in Congress by
a solid Republican delegation. Rep
resented in the Senate by Spooner
and Quarles Wisconsin will COM
mand an influence in the upper
House second to no state in the
Union.
