EDWARD G. RYAN DISINTEGRATING FORCES IN WISCONSIN POLITICS OF THE EARLY SEVENTIES RAILROAD POLITICS HERMAN J. DEUTSCH ARMER Taylor, the successful candidate for governor Fof Wisconsin in 1873, was a much perplexed victor; his army had been very heterogeneous; to the defeated Republi- cans, it had been a host of the forces of darkness; further- more, the Reformers themselves were not certain of the political paternity of their colleagues. "The Governor is Democratic, the state officers [here?] Liberal, and the Legis- lature [war?] reform," wrote a well-informed Democrat.1 The speaker-elect of the new legislature, Gabe Bouck of Oshkosh, was not nearly so definite and not at all enthusi- astic about the support received from the sons of the soil. "They [the farmers] are not acquainted with human nature, suspicious, think every man that lives in cities or villages is a scoundrel. They take a newspaper, believe in and swear by it, the bigger the cocksbull story, the more likely to believe in it. A perfect abhorrence of being controlled, and yet al- ways controlled, and then by the biggest rascal and the least talent of the country. They are the capital stock in trade of the barnacles around every court house. To this must be added the influence of ignorant itinerant ministers."2 There NOTE that in the following footnotes all letters written to E. W. Keyes are on file in Keyes Papers; to Lucius Fairchild, in Fairchild Papers; to George H. Paul, in Paul Papers, and to C. Woodman, in Woodman Papers. These papers ,are in the Wisconsin Historical Library. 1 George B. Smith to Lucius Fairchild, Madison, May 1, 1874. 2 Bouck to George H. Paul, Oshkosh, August 22, 1873; September 13, 1873. 392 Herman J. Deutsch [June was in fact some reason to believe that the governor-elect was a very appropriate though not fortunate leader of such a horde; for according to some, he embodied their very weak- nesses. "Farmer Taylor is a great institution. He is cer- tainly very new in his place, not a graceful or genial man. He don't always know what to do, and don't always know who to ask, and if he does ask, he immediately becomes sus- picious that the advice given is for some ulterior or sinister purpose. In other words, he is very ignorant, and as a nec- essary and natural consequence, jealous and suspicious, and I frankly say I do not regard him a success, and I am not singular in this"* Showered with gratuitous advice the new Gracchus was in a serious quandary: but in the selection of his major-domo, he was quite fortunate. George H. Paul, the editor of the Milwaukee News, had a good grasp of pub- lic questions and a forceful style which did credit to Taylor's state papers. That neither the statesman nor his good man Friday had complete discretion in outlining their public poli- cy is revealed in two excerpts of letters to Paul which suggest the possibility that there was a close affiliation of some of the Reformers with the railroad interests who had been so de- termined to undermine Washburn's prestige, as the out- going governor had charged.4 "The R R Cos must allow us at this time and under these circumstances to get up though conservative yet a strong anti-monopoly document to fulfil the expectations of the people. ."5 In the communica- tion which followed, he wrote: "Recommend R. R. Commis- sioners under circumstances feel impelled to suggest & c [sic] because the people seem to demand them yet put in a saving clause by saying in States where tried they have not been eminently successful (am constrained to say) you dress 3 Gregory to Lucius Fairchild, Madison, March 11, 1874; similar E. E. Bryant to Fairchild, Madison, June 14, 1874. 4Washburn to C. Woodman, Madison, November 4, 1873. 5 Taylor to Paul, Cottage Grove, November 26, 1873. 1932] Disintegrating Forces in Wisconsin 393 it up."6 Paul did a good job in dressing up the executive message with saving clauses which were climaxed with, "I am constrained to say, that this experiment has not thus far realized all the beneficial results anticipated." Among ten general propositions, one was of real pertinence, namely, the revision and modification of classification and rates subject to state authority.7 In their designs to straddle the railroad issue, the Re- formers had not, however, reckoned with their defeated ene- mies, who though temporarily stunned by defeat, lost little time in their preparations to rehabilitate their political for- tunes. What better strategy could there have been than to abscond with the issue which had served the victorious clique so well but was now, like the Moor who had done his duty, peremptorily dismissed. By a railroad bill, thoroughly satis- factory to the Grangers, one could outreform the Reformers and at the same time furnish a most unsavory dish of crow for the new administration.8 Should the Republicans, furth- ermore, allow one of their number to vote for the repeal of the Graham Law, all would be in readiness for a love feast with the dissenters at the next canvass.9 The constitutional aspect of railroad control offered no obstacle in Wisconsin which, like many midwestern states, at the time of drafting their covenant, had had the foresight to obviate the complications created by the Dartmouth Col- lege case,10 by inserting a clause which forbade the legisla- 6 Taylor to Paul, December 7, 1873. 7 William R.

Why would Judge Valeri Caproni make any such finding when she was with Cravath, Swaine & Moore, a prominent Pilgrims Society law firm, for almost five years before the President appointed her as a judge in 2013? Cravath represents “financial institutions” and “has been known as one of the premier U.S. law firms for two centuries.” How will such a Judge find anything incriminating when she was a low totem pole subordinate paper pusher in this law firm before being installed as a 100% puppet on a string judge? See “Why Silver Price Fixing Lawsuits Always Get Trashed” (February 2015) http://nosilvernationalization.org/156.pdf The silver/gold rigging banks do have “overarching connections;” ownership in these banks overlaps to a huge extent; and their actions are coordinated through “by invitation only” membership organizations which are easiest to determine at the level of the Council on Foreign Relations, for which rosters are available.

As its title indicates, it is simply a Supplement to the General Register published in 1902. The Committee ap- pointed by the Council began its work immediately on its appointment in the hope that the work would be finished and the book distributed among the State Societies by early summer ; a hope that has not been realized because of long delays on the part of a few State Secretaries in transmitting to the Committee desired information. Indeed, the first half of the last month of summer had passed before all of the reports had been received. A supplement is in many respects an uninteresting and unsatisfactory book to edit; but the Committee trusts that the volume it now places in the hands of the members of the Society will meet the object sought in the action of the Council, viz. : to furnish the names of those who have joined the Society since the Register was issued, together with accompanying genealogical data. An alphabetical list of all members of the Society, July 1, 1906, will, it is thought, give additional interest and value to the book.
