To Ny Republican Brother Senators
Gentlemen: At the close of the last ses-
| sion, when q large number Of Republican
| Senators elected had no voice in the selec-
| ton Of the President pro tenn, and when
| none of those in Office reelected could be
| chosen for the place, you did me the
great honor to place me in that office.
Had your range of choice been as great as
| it now is, another Senator would have been
| your choice, as he would nave been mine.
The difficulties then existing are now re-
lieved, and / gladly hasten to return to
your hands, unembarrassed. the disposi-
| ton of the trust the Senators imposed on
| me, and / invite you to proceed to elect
another President pro tenn. to the same
Senate. With grateful thanks, and the
| unsought proof of confidence shown me.
| and with the wish to b. relieved, I am
| yours. (Signed) o. A. EDMUNDs.
The caucus postponed action on the
letter, for the reason that Senator
| Anthony has not been sworn in for the
| present term, but j. was informally deter
| mined that when the time for action was
| reached Senator Anthony would receive
the nomination of the caucus for the Presi-
| dency Of the Senate. A motion was car
ried to consider the question OF e!ecting
| officers of the Senate in caucus on Thurs
day.
An IntervleW with Senator Jones.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-During q converse
ton yesterday with a reporter, Senator
Jones expressed the opinion that this
country was evidently verging towards
hard times.
The reporter asked: What is your
opinion of the political situation?
Carlisle's election, of course, means that
the Democratic party are committed to
tariff reform n fortune. He was glad to
see it. 1t will cause a healthier state OF
politics, this dividing OF two parties on q
live issue, than to have gone into another
Presidential contest with simply offices al
stake or on war issues. Sectional issues
are dead. No portion of the Anglo-Saxon
race in this country will ever consent to
the negro, socially or politically where he
may be in numerical ascendency, and the
rest of the country will have to come to
understand this, and the sooner the better.
Do you suppose all the power in the
United States could ever make the people Of
the Pacific Coast tolerate the Chinese, sup.
posing the latter were naturalized and
o~utnumbered the whites?
1t is always in politics a question oil
force, and the greatest force is bound to
get the supremacy. The ballot simply
represents certain forces, and if it does
not represent the greater force it amounts
to nothing. Realizing that they are the
greater force morally, intellectually and
physically, the whites Of the South will
never respect the ballots Of negro major.
tiles.
Whom do you favor for the Republican
nomination next Year,
No one particularly. There are half
dozen good men from among whom to
choose. I think President Arthur il
thoroughly acceptable. The feeling on
the Pacific Coast in regard to this ques.
ton has not as yet matured.
