-fhe political friends OF Senator Ed.

days ago, but those on intimate terms with
him say he 10 % obstinately determined
not TO bc . candidate Is Horatio Seymour
Edmunds, II would permit 1t, il one Of the
most formidable Of the dark horses, q be
u also one Of the FIRST men Of the land.
The developments OF the past few days
have been indicative OF different results at
Chicago from What before seemed inevita-
BILE, and political astronomers are adjusting
their telescopes 70 the changed vision. II
u ungracious OF senator Edmunds TO
eclipse himself with positive declination.
Mr.. Kinna has authorized the Hsrald
TO say that he will soon Issue . call for a
Republican Territorial Convention to con-
vene at Helena on or about the LIST of May,
TO select too Delegates to the National Re-
publican Convention. That 10 the proper
method, ifit 10 the proper number. There
can be no just cause Of complaint against
Territorial Committee that protects all
the Republicans of all tho counties In all
their party rights and privileges. II any
Of the counties fail to be represented 1t will
b solely tho fault OF the Republicans OF
those counties. IL of course involves two con-
ventions In ono year which Ii something of
. nuisance. and to avoid this many Republi-
cans wore disposed 20 allow the selection Of
Chicago Delegates to be made by the Com
mittee. Many others were not, and - they
occupied tho only tenable position when 1t
came down to an issue tho only proper
thing remaing to DO dono was to call con-
vention. This, tho chairman says, will be
done. By tho way, why don't the Montana
Democrats send Delegates TO Cincinnati
Congress had under consideration dur.

Territories. Ons was III. r. No. 1859 amend
Ing section 1859 OF the Revised Statutes 90

NJ. Aldrob OF Illinois, from Same CON-

Rhode Island has rot ~ much faith In

the Senate defeated the plan to give school
suffrage 10 women. Az the school room
comes next after the nursery, as mothers
rive more thought TO their children than
fathers do, - they arc ut least equally inter-
ested In their welfare and many OF them
would mako moro eficiest and attentive
Trustees than their husbands, or at least,
exercise ~ ane Discrimination In selecting
men for the position, We believe tho main
argument against women being enfran-
eAised IN school matters 10 based on narrow
prejudice and jealous ssldshness. There II
