In Wisconsin,.
Milwaukee. April s.-The judicial
election in Wisconsin passed off very
quietly Tuesday. Judge Robert G.
slebecller, of Madison. judge of the
Ninth circuit court, was elected to
the place on the Wisconsin supreme
bench made vacant by the recent
death of c. V. Bnrdeen. There was
comparatively little interest taken in
the election and in many localities
it was almost impossible to secure
complete returns. At midnight, how
ever, the Indications were that Judge
Siebecker was elected by about four
fifths of the total vote cast. Will
liam Ruger, of GAINESVILLE. though he
declared after his name was placed
on the ticket, that he was not a cam
didate, was given almost as many
votes as Moritz Wittig, of Milwaukee,
the third candidate.
There were no changes in the four
circuits which elected judges. Though
complete returns will not be availa-
bic for two days, Judge Silverthorn,
of Wausau, is reelected Judge of the
Sixteenth circuit; John Goodland, of
Appleton, of the Tenth; James
O'Neill, of the Seventeenth, and o. r.
Williams, of Milwaukee, of the Sec
ond circuit. There were hot contests
for the position in every circuit ex-
cept the Second, where Judge O. T..
Williams was unopposed, and in the
Seventeenth.
The proposed amendment to the
constitution, increasing the number
of justices of the supreme court from
five to seven, undoubtedly carried.
In Milwaukee 1850 votes were cast
in. favor of the amendment and 1885
against it.
Comparatively few mayors were
elected in the state, and there were
few political changes in the cities
which chose an executive. Oshkosh
reelected Mayor Mulva (dem.), and
at midnight the indications were that
La Crosse had defeated the republic
an candidate, who suffered most
heavily in the aristocratic wards.
