23. It is rumored that J. F. Joy, President of the Michigan Central Railroad, lias tendered his resignation, and has gone to Boston to confer with the directors as to his successor. The Inter-Ocean says that the Grand Trunk R.

R. proposes to make its outlet at Boston, and the combined lines form an opposition. Unless the company goes into the Saratoga arrangement, its freight will not be forwarded from Buffalo except at local rates. "We may be compelled to succumb," say the Grand Trunk people, "but we don't believe it. It will be a hard fight, and then this combination will last for all time.

Suppose we give our business all to one company; could it resist the limitation We think not. The strong probability is that we will not go in. We can get along, and we are bound to. What we will do is to make Boston our outlet, and pay local rates for the time being." The Dominion line of steamers, now running out of Quebec, are to run out of Boston, and the Grand Trunk K. R.

thus makes rapid through shipments, and is dependent on no other company for facilities. Episcopal Convention- New York, Oct. 21. Immediately after the morning prayer to-day, the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church went into secret session. A startling rumor prevailed among the deputies of the lower house to the effect that a desk in the house of Bishops had been forced open and papers relating to Bishop.

elect Seymour abstract. Members of the house of Bishops maintain the strictest silence with regard to the matter, and will not furnish any particulars regarding ie loss. The church warden and sexton are of the opinion that the papers have been mislaid by some one of the pages who have been arranging the room, and the desk having been left open, the papers were taken by them under the impression that they were not of any use. Search is being instituted for the documents From New Orleans- New Orleans, Oct. 22.

Active preparations are being made for the entertainment of Knight Templars, who are expected from till sections of the Union, to attend the grand Convocation, commencing Tuesday December 1st. It is estimated there will be between six and seven thousand present. The session of Grand Commandery will last three days, first day reception and Grand Encampment, to be followed by a grand parade, grand banquet, excursion, etc. The latest advices from the cane growing region show an uncommonly large yield of cane per acre, and containing a greater proportion of saccharine matter than usual. The prospects are now good for the production of the largest crop of ugar thtit has been made in Louisiana since eighteen sixty-one.

From Washington. Washington, Oct. 22. The National Republican, which has been advocating a third-term for Presi dent Grant, says to-day "The Presidency, during another term, would have lew attractions for him. It could confer on him no further or higher honor.

There is no reason, therefore, to suppose ne uesires u. uu tne contrary. Ms natural astes and inclinations are known to be in the direction of domestic quietude and privacy. These facts would make him appear ridiculous, should he come out with a pronunciamento declining a re-nomination in advance of its tender. Crime-Richmond, Oct.

21. Detectives W. F. Knox and John Wren, of the Richmond police, were ar rested on a bench warrant, charging them with being accessories after the fact, in the swindling of James M. Fowlkes, who was mulcted out of by gamblers.

JNo clue to the burglars. Locomotive Engineers- Atlanta, Oct. 21. The grand International division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers met here to-day, with 150 delegates present. A welcome was tendered by the Governor and Mayor.

Reports show the order in a flourishing condition. Fatal Accident- Bolton, Ont Oct. 21. The noon train on the Toronto, Grey Buce Railroad ran into the buggy of Wm. Williamson, a resident of Albion, who was instantly killed.

His companion, Mrs. Dean, was badly injured. Wisconsin Railroad Suits. Washington, Oct. 21.

In the Supreme Court to-day, motions were submitted to advance the Wisconsin Grangers' cases, and it is probable that a day will be fixed far their hearing Monday next. Best Cabinet Organs on Very Favorable Terms. Many a person would find a parlor organ a great benefit to himself and family, and would gladly purchase one if he could spare the means. He could pay a moderate sum monthly or quarterly, and would like to do so, but is not willing to pay the exhorbitant diflerence in price of the organ usually charged for such accommodation. It has been customary to charge twenty-five, fifty, cr even greater percentage difference for organs so purchased.

Such persons will learn with pleasure that the Mason Hamlin Organ whose organs are unquestionably the best in the world, are trying the experiment of offering their instruments for time payments on terms and prices which everyone will admit to be reasonable, and which many dealers say cannot possibly be afforded. An organ may be obtained by a first payment of ten dollars or upwards. It is rented to the party taking it, with the privilege of purchase, and may be returned when no longer wanted. If purchased within a year, all rent paid is allowed, and the cost to the purchaser only five to ten per cent, more than the very lowest puce for which such an organ could- be purchased for cash down. Circulars with full explanations can be obtained from the company.

Address them at Boston, New Y'ork or Chicago. Fatal Accident. Tuesday evening while the Democrats of Jeffersonville, were holding a celebration over their recent victory, a cannon, by some mismanagement, was accidentally discharged, and Edwin Tobin, one of the gunners, receive! probably fatal injuries. His left banc', was torn completely oil below the elbow, and his right hand badlylaceraled. Mlt "Nous Verrons" inquires: "Is the Democratic party dead?" From ihe number grog-shop-keepers and whisky-con-sumo: rs" that are running for office in this citv.

one would be inclined to respond: I Not 11 mch. Chicago Times. The Sox-in-Law yesterday publishes what purports to be a circular of the Cen tral Committee, soliciting a donation ot 10. How about that little $10 transac tion in Dane county alluded to the other day in the La Crosse Leader, and which has as yet not brought out any response from the Royal Family? Where is the man that has sot that letter? Let us have it. It would bo such a rich morsel for these "Reformer" times! Mitchell is a Rindskopfer- Bam.

Rindskopf, on being interviewed, gave as reasons for his withdrawal, the outrageous abuse he had received from the papers, shameful letters, containing scandalous things, sent to his house, and lastly, the too high expectations of his friends, which he could not satisfy. We quote Q. Then you thought that you were not capable of filling the office? A. Not exactly that. Not capable, perhaps, of satisfying the expectation of the people.

J. What action did you take? A. I called together Alexander Mitchell, II. L. Palmer, Elias Calkins, C.

J. 1 'aimer, W. W. Coleman, Louis Rindskopf, my brother, and others. Q.

When was this? A. Monday at 1 and we met again at 3. (J. What did you do? A. I laid the matter before them, giving my reasons for withdrawing.

Q. Did they want you to withdraw? A. No, sir; I was asked not to persist in my determination. Q. Was there no pressure brought to bear; no kind of advice to get out of the way A.

No, sir; none whatever. On the contrary, strong support was promised me if I would keep on. I had assurances of a majority in eleven wards in the city. H- then what was done? A. I sent in my letter of withdrawal, and the State Central Committee were telegraphed for.

They obeyed the sum-mons, and are here. You know the rest. Q. You are going to be out of pocket by this, Mr. Rindskopf.

How much. A. such things cost money. 1 don't know what the expenses amount to. It does not matter anyway.

It is not the money I look at. Alexander Mitchell promised give a strong support to Rindskopf, of course. Didn't the Rindskopf Reform convention endorse Mitchell, who defied the law? If Mitchell was entitled to the "lasting gratitude" of Reformers "for the purity and uprightness of his example," in compelling people to pay illegal rates on his road for five months, why was not Rindskopf entitled to Mitchell's gratitude if he defied the revenue laws, as alleged A fellow feelius makes 'em wondrous kind; Mitchell gets the fat and Rindskopf takes tBe rind. The President in Chicago. The Times says at President Grant's reception at the Palmer House, Chicago, Tuesday, he received a large number of callers of all classes.

For an hour he was kept very busily engaged in shaking hands, and had only a word or two with his visitors, lie gave especial welcome to the children. He signalized the marriage of his son to a Chicago lady by donating $300 to "The Shelter," a house for women who have no home of their own. Now, that Rindskopf is off the track, the Madison Democrat indulges in a gushing editorial on Prohibition! Whisky one day, cold water the next, and a mixture of both on the third day, would suit the Reform palate. This is the old game over again; the editors of the Democrat, having signed a temperance petition to the Legislature, when the passage of the Graham Law was pending, and then join ed the Rindekopf crowd to get it repeal ed. Southern Schools.

The Commission er of Education, John Eaton, re ports the breaking up of the school system in the disorganized sections of the South. He says he is in receipt of letters from the South, showing that where schools were kept up during and after the war, the same schools are now at this late date broken up through the spirit of an archy that prevails in that region. Large Meeting at Milton. We learn from a gentleman who was present that Senator Carpenter addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting at Milton, last evening. The Hall was crowded and many were unable to get in.

The Senator spoke an hour and three- quarters. He was listened to with atten tion and frequently applauded. Five Children to One Biiwrn. A Mrs. Hart, of Depere, wife of a butcher there, on the 20th, gave birth to five well-developed babies four boys and one girl.

One of the male children was born dead, and another died soon after. The mother and remaining three children were reported as doing well. That is too much of a good thing. Northern Wisconsin Poultry. The Annual meeting of the Northern Wiscon sin Poultry Association was held at Osh-kosh Tuesday night.

W. II. Patton, of Oshkosh, was elected President. The next exhibition is fixed for the third week in December, but the place of holding it has not yet been decided upon. An Old Settler Gone.

Col. Chas. Quelar, of Green Bay, died in that city, Tuesday morning, from an apoplectic stroke which occurred about twenty-six hours previously. He was a prominent citizen of Green Bay, and one of the old est residents, having-settlcd there in 1830. Rindskopf says he can "read the Divine law in the ancient and sacred tongue, as it emanated from Jehovah Himself." But can he read the statute of the United States against defrauding the revenue If so, why did he violate it? Must the laws be written in the "sacred tongue" for RrNDSKOPF's benefit.

A isavonne (opaini uisnaicu says "There is no truth in the report of the as sassination of Buckland, correspondent of the New York Times, and Jebrold, the representative oi the English Carlist Committee."

MAYEKS, Secretary. October 22, 1874. Senator Windom's Meeting at Portage Portage, Oct. 2110:00 P. M.

Eds. State Journal: Senator Windom's meeting at this place, held to night, was, like Senator Carpenter's meeting, Monday evening, a grand success. Although the notice was very brief, the large Court House was rilled to its utmost capacity at an early hour. Every one present remained to the close of the meeting, a most intensely interested listener. We have seldom heard a more convincing political address than this; especially is this true of that portion of it relating to cheap water transportation to the seaboard, and the record of the Republican party, on that question.

If senator Windom could be heard by every voter in Wisconsin, the Republican party would receive a vote, which, for all practical purposes, might be considered unanimous. Yours, T. Another correspondent, whose manuscript our compositors find difficulty to decipher, speaks in similar terms of the meeting, and the value of Senator Windom's address. St. Croix County Ticket- Hudson, Oct.

21. Editors State Journal: The Republican Convention of St. Croix county, to-day, pats np the following very excellent nominations: Member of Assembly II. S. Clapp.

County Treasurer J. B. Jones. County Clerk N. Fuller.

Iltgiister of Deeds R. K. Young. County Surceijor George Strong. Resolutions timely and sound.

The ticket will be elected. Wisconsin Items- The La Crosse Leader says a little daughter of Chas. Rorbins, who used to be in the Boston Market, was quite badly scalded, by accidentally falling into a tud of hot water Monday, evening. The Sparta Herald says Mr. C.

Blakeslee has secured a splendid How of pure water from the artesian well on his premises, at a depth of 2G0 feet. It is at the highest point of ground within the corporate limits. Maxwell was fined $5, last week, for smashing things in Fitzsimmons' saloon, where her husband got his drinks, and then went home and abused his family. She said she had no redress at law, and that was doing all that she could to obtain satisfaction for the wrongs herself and family had suffered at the hands of the proprietor of the saloon. The fine was promptly paid by sympathizing friends.

What a blessed thing it is to live under a "reform" license law. The Boscobel Dial says a boy named Charles McConnelly, from Mineral Point, was accidentally killed at the races in that place last Friday, week, by the stumbling of his horse on the course. The Platteville Witness says that the iron began to arrive at Galena tor the Narrow Guage Railroad, on last Satur day night, and the work ot track-laying began in earnest, on Monday last. Should the Company meet with no draw-backs, the iron can all be laid to Platteville, within the next four or five weeks. Afflicted.

Mrs. Welles, wife of Bishop Welles, of this Diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church, died at her residence at Red Wing, on last Monday. Jl2fThe Legislature of Vermont, on Monday, elected George F. Edmunds United States Senator from Vermont for six years from the 4th of March next. I'm "a fly leaf," says Rindskopf.

It's a pity that an indictment for defrauding the revenue is written on it. Affairs in Buenos Ayres. Rio Janeiro advices from Buenos Ayres states that, in an engagement between the troops' and insurgents, the latter were defeated and their commander, Placa, taken prisoner. Large rewards are offered for the capture of the rebel steamers. One has left Montevideo towing a vessel laden with arms and ammunition.

The Uruguayan Government intends issuing four million dollars paper money. The bank of Eutre Rios has suspended. Inisn Hunters. The Irish riflemen have had a week's hunt in Kansas and the Indian Territory, bringing deer antlers, and many other trophies. The party consisted of Messrs.

Rigby, Milner, Johnson, Kelly and Bagnall, ot the Team, Charles Ilallock, editor of the Field and Stream, and a few others. They bagged 300 chickens and quail, and express great delight at the country and their trip. San Francisco, Oct. 21. The Japan brings Yokohama dates to September 29th.

The French government at present takes the lead in pushing the demands for opening the entire empire. The correspondence shows a disposition to wrest this concession from Japan in spite of all remonstrances. The Mikado gave a breakfast on the 22d instant to all of the foreign diplomatic corps, at his own residence. This was the first entertainment at which the sovereign has freely mingled with foreign guests and received them at his table. The largest review of troops yet seen in Yeddo took place on the 19th inst in one of the fine suburbs of Yeddo.

Some ten thousand infantry, artillery and cavalry were inspected by Mikado and his uncle, Fusimeno Miejo, who has been raised to the rank of General in the army, and in case of hostilities with China is to be appointed to the chief command. Minister Avery sailed from Yokohama for Shanghai on the 24th. Affairs between China and Japan remain precisely as they were. Yokohama papers contain a positive announcement of war, and equally positive announcement of a pcrfett understanding. Both are unauthorized.

The highest patriotic spirit is exhibited throughout the country. i ne nobles have ottered a large portion of their revenues to the government. The populace of every province are forming into volunteer regiments, and the mercantile class has expressed its desire to serve, both by contributions and in the field, iu case war should be declared. Swing and the Synod. Chicago, Oct.

21. In the Presbyterian Synod of Northern Illinois, to-day, Mr. J. M. Linn asked and obtained leave to enter a protest against the reception of the appeal of Professor Patton from the decision of the Chicago Presbytery in the Swing case.

In the protest are set forth the poin's made by Rev. Mr. Noyes in his speech yesterday, and quotations from legal and synodical proceedings, to show that the appeal is unprecedented and illegal. After the reading of the protest, the clerk called the names of Patton and Swing. The former responded, but the latter was not in the house.

Rev. Dr. ljoyes was appointed to represent him, but declined to serve. Dr. Patterson, E.

C. Sickles, C. L. Thomson, Mr. Trowbridge, S.

II. Wellcr and others were successively appointed, but all refused, most on conscientious grounds. Finding that none of Professor Swing's friends would defend him in the case, the S3-110CI appointed Rev. R. Frame, an old gentleman whose eyesight is so much impaired that the testimony will have to be read to him.

He has been a staunch supporter of Prof. Patton during the contro-very. Prof. Patton commenced his speech this afternoon, and has the floor to morrow morning. Swing's friends in the Synod have asked to be excused from further attendance on the case, but the request has been refused by that body.

Electricians' Association. Cure ago, Oct. 21. An adjourned meeting of those interested in the formation of an electrical society was held in the Palmer House this afternoon. Mr.

C. II. Haskins, general superintendent of the Northwestern telegraph company, of Milwaukee, called the meeting to order and stated its objects, which are the interchange of knowledge and professional improvement of its members, the advancement of electrical and telegraphic science, and the establishment of a central point of reference. A constitution was adopted which provides that an annual meeting shall be held on the third Wednesday of October, at a place designated by the executive com- mittee. and that the head quarters of the secretary shall be Chicago.

Under the name of the American Electrical Society, a permanent organization was effected, by the election of General Anson Stager, of Chicago, President, with Vice Presidents from different states, among them C. II. Haskins, of Milwaukee, and other officers. There were present at the meeting 40 or 50 of the most prominent telegraphers in America, as well as many other prominent men interested in the science.

Ihe Ihird lriennial Banquet ot the Army of the James took place, this evening, in the Union Leagne Theatre. Gen eral Joseph C. llawley presided, and about 100 persons sat down to the table.

St- Louis Items- St. Louis, Oct. 21. Five members of the Board of Public Works of Chicago, arrived here to-day, and will inspect the water-works, and make a thorough examination of the water supply of the city. W.

J. Howell and Louis Ilauch, having withdrawn as candidates for the Supreme Uourt, on the People's State ticket, Ellsworth, of St. Joseph, for the long term, and Peter E. Blond, of St. Louis, to fill vacancy, have been substituted for them by the people's State committee.

22. The citizens are still searching on the mountain for the body of Lesher reported murdered near Trackville, this morning. Recently he effected an insurance on his life for $50,000 and yesterday paid the premium on the policy in Pottsville. The last seen of him was at St. Claire, in the evening, where he borrowed a revolver, remarking that he had forgotten his own, and had more money with lum than usual.

Fred. Grant and arrived here to-day, and took room'd at the Lsndell Hotel. They spent the day at the old homestead, a few tulles from the city, and will remain the city several da3's. I Spent Some Money." So Did the Other Candidates." Sam Says He is a Fly Loaf in the Bible. The Voters Think the Leaf" Badly "Specked." Rindskopf, satisfied that he would be defeated by the Republican candidate, Harrison Ludington, has abandoned the contest.

The letter of declination sent to the Reform Committee, has been published. He shows that he is eligible, the best lawyers say he is eligible, and, having settled this point, Sam declines, on the ground that he is "unwilling, by any chance whatever, to subject the District to the expense and trouble of a second election!" After giving this flimsy excuse for retreating to escape an overwhelming defeat, Rindskopf says, or the man who wrote the letter for him, says As the mos-t bitter, malignant and personal attacks have been made upon me in the journals of the opposition partv, and in private conversation, I will add a few words iu my own self-defense. Objections were made to me because 1 am young and inexperienced in public life. If I am a ex perienced in the management ot public aitasrs, i am also fortunately inexperienced in tkeir mis management. Besides, iu Uongress, my colleagues would have given me ihe benefit of their counsel.

Accustomed to business activity and success, I might have been of some service to the rest in making lriends and combinations lor carrying local measures. If this state, or any portion of the Mate, had be represented at the national capital by one man alone, in whom all qualiiica- tions ought to be combined, i stiouia say irantay 1 would have been unlit. As one among ten, there may be dualities iu me that might have added an element of strength to the whole. Ap plause. Nobody can say that Sam Rindskopf is unfaith ful to his friends or refuses to be advised by thoni.

It was also objected to me, in private, 1 am told, that 1 am a Jew. When England, with her stronff sectarian prejudices and her estab lished church, chooses as the head of her government, as the prime miuister, an Israelite, it seems to uie strange that citizens oi America, where every man is tree to worship uoci according to the dictates of his own conscience, should be biassed by questions that are entirely outside of the state and pertain to personal liberty, i am not ashamed of the religion of my fathers; ye practically. am rather the Jly-lenf between the Old Testament anil the New than- the disciple of either. 1 believe in the God of the Hebrews and of the Christians, and acknowledge allegiance to the moral law. Applause.

1 was cruelly and wrongiiiuy accused oi naving obtained the nomination by corrupt means. and my l'rijnds worked to obtain delegates in my interest. Oilier candidates and their lriends did the same. I paid the expenses of printing and distributing tickets for my delegates. Other an- didates did likewise.

To make a clean breast ot it, once and for all, 1 SPENT SOME MONEY AMONG MY FRIENDS FOR BEER AND WIN E. SO DID THE OTHER CANDIDATES. The de claration that I bought any delegate in the con vention is an unmitigated falsehood. Applause. The indirect accusation made before the conven tion by a rival candidate, that I had spent 100 to obtain delegates, was wholly groundless; was unereu wiwiuui pruoi unu iu uenuuee ui truth.

Another deleated candidate, who owns a newsnaoer, has repeatedly published similar charges since the convention, regardless of pro priety, sell-respect, and ot sense ot veracity which should characterize public journalism. To cap the climax ot incoiisisiency, those who have most loudly accused me of corruption looked industriously around for a candidate with money enough to beat me. Applause. They laisely a'-leged corruption, lifted up their hands In hypocritical honor, and then searched for real corruption with which to overcon-e a sham corruption, that existed nowhere but in their own unclean imaginations. Some of those who were the loudest in their clamor against me, privately asked me for money, and consider themselves wronged and abused because they did not receive it.

Applause. My friend Col. Calkins, was publicly accused of receiving from me. It was false. Applause.

It was further represented that I am illiterate It. was my misfortune not to receive a university education iu my youth. Yet very few members of Congress have been trained up in Colleges. I believe I can write correct English when I try. While the man put up to beat me Is probably no more ignorant than I of English grammar and the art of English composition, I can write and speak correct German.

lie does not know a word of that noble language. I can read the divine law in the ancient and sacred tongue as it emanated from Jehovah Himself. He is ignorant of both TI1ETONOUE AND THE LAW. This personal discussion is disagreeable to me, but the accusations of mycnemies have made it a necessity. Certain toads of the opposition press have even entered my home, squatting themselves upon the hearthstone, blowing the breath of poison towards the loved ones of the household.

1 dismiss them with contempt, only wondering at the political animosity that spares neither the living nor the dead. It is pleasant to turn from the dark side of the picture, and to think of MY NUMEROUS FRIENDS. I thank them from my inmost heart for their solicitude, encouragement and work forme. No thought of failure could enter my mind when I saw so many noble and generous men aiding me with their counsels, their influence and their toil. I thank them all, and will endeavor repay their kindness by so comporting myself as not to forfeit their confidence or make them ret et their trust.

In conclusion, I promise to work for the election of any good candidate who may be nominated in my place. I have labored lor the cause iu the past, and SHALL LABOR FOR IT in the future, if my life and healtWare spared me Remembering the nationality ol llim who was greater than all have no ill wishes even for my enemies, while I have a heart over flowing with gratitude for my friends. Hoping that all the voters ol the Kelorm party will give to the eentleman who may be nominated in my stead, the same hearty support and aid they had promised me, I respectfully withdraw from the held as a candidate myseir. Though Sam. is "busted," politically, he fired a Parthian shot at his party when he named as his successor an old Bourbon of the Buchanan type.

Lud ington will beat Lynde. Ludington's Friends Delighted- The Milwaukee Sentinel, after publishing a report of the situation, after Rinds kopf's withdrawal, and interviews with Sam and his successor, says At Laidinsrton's headquarters, the air was humming with joy. "Could anything better have happened?" was inquiring song, and "It's the best thing that could have happened us," was the responsive chorus. Smiles mantled every brow. A broad grin was upon each face.

There was no despondency here. Mr. Ludington is so strong among the Ketorm genuine reform population of the city, and all classes of' honest people, that no mere Bourbon can expect to have a chance of success on party grounds. Sam, by buying and controlling certain elements, could have made a pretty hot fight, although even in his case there would have been no doubt of eventual defeat; but the one ele ment of Bourbonism is a played-out Institution in this District. The Bourbons themselves have declared that, by sinking their name, and allying themselves with the Reformers in whose individuality they have sunk their own, they are no longer a party, No Bourbon can be worked in by any such dodge as a nominee of the party of Reform.

Sam was not a Bourbon, bad as he was. Many could swallow Sam, with a seasoning of greenbacks, who cannot stomach an old, rearing, tearing, unterrified Bourbon. The majority of Ludington, which was set down at headquarters at between 4,000 and 5,000, is set down at between 8,000 and 10,000. The Reformers, as a party. I and all independents, will vote for Lud ington.

11. GILL. will speak at Belleville, Saturday evening, October 2-lth. Judge Bryant for Senator- The Republicans of this district have nominated Judge George E. Bryant for Senator.

This is news which will be received with delight by our readers. The Judge is a first-class man in every respect, and will sweep the district. The report came just as we were going to press, and we have only time to make the announcement and say Hurrah for Bryant! Ludington Will be Elected. Bluff Harry, as Mayor Ludington is called, is the coming man in the Milwaukee district. The tide sets so strong in his favor that his friends are conlient that he will be elected to Congress.

The Germans who called him out, will support him to the end, we understand. They think he is the best man; but if they were in doubt a high sense of honor would cause them, under the circumstances, to heartily labor lor his election. Looking at the question as business men, as citizens of the metropolis, what is the clear duty of the voters? Mayor Ludington is a representative man. The proof of this is found in his election and re election as Mayor of a city opposed to him in politics. It is further shown by his selection above all others as the best man to overcome the great partisan majority in the race against Rindskopf.

Mayor Luddington's candidacy exactly fills the requirements of the reform platform, that is, that his nomination must not be "the fruit of his own importunity." There was a call for him to run, signed by over four thousand three hundred voters, irrespective of party. Having burst through the narrow precincts in which they were confined by the caucus, the sensible, the real Reform voters of the Fourth District are not going to crawl back to thenarrow shell of Bouibouisin. An escaped bird may re turn to its cage, but it usually has a free flight first. The voters will improve then-liberty by voting for Mayor Ludington. His election will be one of the best things that can occur for the reputation of Mil waukee, at home and abroad, and for her material interest.

Wedding in High With con siderable pains-taking, we have compiled from the Chicago papers, an ac count of the wedding of Col. Fred. Grant and Miss Ida M. Honore, of Chicago, ia which we think some of our readers, especially the ladies, will be in tercsted. It shows how such things are done in wealthy, fashionable circles in the city.

We have omitted the detail given by some papers of the bride's under clothing, as we don't think it any part of a newspaper's business to hang out a lady's linen in its columns. Army Style. The Chicago Tribune says Col. Fred. Grant drove out to his wedding iu an open wagon drawn by four mules..
