Excerpt from Some Aspects of Politics in the Middle West, 1860-72
A consideration of the official leaders of the Republican party in 1861 with reference to their political attitude in 1872, gives us some startling results in both states. For the Wisconsin Republicans of 1861, we get a fairly representative list of eight names by including. The following men: Governor Randall, the two United States senators, Howe and Doolittle; the four Re publican representatives in the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses: and Carl Schurz, the most conspicuous among the Wisconsin delegates to the Chicago convention. Of this group of eight men, only two, Senator Howe and C. C. Washburn, were identified in 1872 with the Republican organization in the State. Of the remaining six. One died in 1862; two, Doolittle and Randall, had previously broken away from the party; and two others, including Carl Schurz, were supporters of the Lib eral Republican movement.
