PREFACE.
Two years ago I tried the experiment of compiling the " Blue Book " wholly in this depart- ment, with the aid of the clerical force, and from the gratuitous expression of approval from the legislature and the public generally, the book must have been regarded as very acceptable. The legislature immediately ordered a second edition, large enough to supply one copy to every school district and high school in the state, as well as one to every public library -- thus recognizing its educational, as well as its statistical value. The present vol- ume has been compiled in the same manner. It has not only been re-compiled, but a large number of new features added. The old ideal pictures of our state institutions have been mostly replaced by actual cuts. Among the new or changed features will be found a list of members of Wisconsin legislature continued up to 1889, inclusive, alphabetically; electoral vote by states, 1860-1888; comparative table, popular vote, 1584-1888, with plurali- ties, by states; vote for president and governor, 1888, by counties, towns, cities and elec- tion districts; population 1885, with pluralities; comparative table presidential vote 1584- 1888, by counties; same, president and governor, 1888; official vote for circuit judges, 1997-88; official vote for members of congress, 1SS8; financial transactions showing amounts received from and paid to counties, 1888; post-offices, by townships; number of pension claims pre- sented and allowed by United States government, 1861-1888; number paid in Wisconsin, by counties, with amounts, quarter ending June 3, 1888; number of acres of public domain and forests; immigration into United States; troops engaged in civil war; list of consuls and con- sular agents of United States, 1887, with salary, etc .; public libraries in Wisconsin: party platforms, state and national; new cuts; maps of congressional, senate and assembly dis- tricts and judicial circuits, with population, 1885; members of 51st congress; internal reve- nue districts in Wisconsin, with territory embraced; United States government land offices. Trusting that this Blue Book will be found to be an improvement over that of 1857, I again invite intelligent criticism from the public.

No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained the age of twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to serv- ice for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons. The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Con- gress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.

Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three classes. The seats of the Senators of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the second year; of the second class, at the expiration of the fourth year, and of the third class, at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one-third may be chosen every second year; and if vacancies happen by resignation or otherwise, during the recess of the legislature of any State, the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies.
No person shall be a Senator, who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant or that State for which he shall be chosen.
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote unless they be equally divided.
The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro tempore in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the I'nited States.
The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is

The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.

Each house may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.
Each house shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment require secrecy, and the yeas and nays of the members of either house on any question shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered on the journal.
Neither house, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two houses shall be sitting.
SECTION 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their serv- ices, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall, in all cases except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses. and in going to and return- ing from the same; and for any speech or debate in either house, they shall not be ques- tioned in any other place.
No Senator or Representative shall. during the time for which he was elected, be ap- pointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no person holding any office under the United States shall be a member of either house during his continuance in office.

Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration two-thirds of that house shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds of that house it shall become a law. But in all cases the votes cf both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each house respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sun- days excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless Congress by their adjournment prevents its return, in which case it shell not be a law.
Every order, resolution or vote to which the concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the same shall take effect, shall be ap- proved by him, or, being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two-thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the rules and limitations prescribed in the case af & bill
