The Change.

Fry succeeds Blaine in the Senate from Maine.
McDill succeeds Kitkwood of Iowa. Edgerton sue
ceeds Window of Minnesota. Cameron succeeds
Carpenter of Wisconsin. Malone of Virginia goes
with the Republicans, which makes the Senate
stand Republican and democrat, evan, tie. The
Vice President having the casting vote gives the Re.
publicans control of the Senate. They also have a
clear majority in the House. This with stalwart
executive, surrounded by an unexeeptonahle cabi-
net to the loyal and to all the people of the
United States and territories, administration
that will endeavor to right the outrageous wrongs
that have been perpetrated by the rebelious unrs-
pentant reesters Of the South who have con troll
ed and dictated the policy that northern allies have
| followed. The brief period that these have been
III power has corroborated the former history and
predictions made relative to what would be done
| should they ever gain supremacy. Instead OF aid
ing the President in carrying out what he honestly
desired to do in concliatng the unreasonable dis
sensions, they persisted in expressing their dean Is
that were obnoxious to those who believe in free
dom, fair ballot and full protection to oil human
beings, black or white. The cringing, fawntns an
appealing beings whose lives were spared through
the eniency and forgving spirit OF their rs
were chan ged to the old arrogant dom1neering ana
dicatolal spirit that had ruled for decades under
the regime that existed befor the war. Saved from
halter earned by treason, they begged for mercy
then for recognition, then for peace, ana "he
granted and they msy their dough-fa cad sym
pathizers in the halls of congress, numbered TO
majority, their pledges humility and protestations
Of repentance were forgotten, and instead CT coming
to the front as allies to help heal and paclty "as
their own misconduct had caused, the rule or run
spirit was fostered. The Republicans ala rmea anu
indignant at the new brazen acts OF treaclery APP
ptaled to the bast judgments of the best Jnds-
ments of the people, and they have wrestea TINS
government once more from an Impending danger
Thanks tc an enlightened and freedomio7lns peo-
pie, they are to be congratulated.
