that the former care but little
whether the Republicans take The
principal officer or not, for 10 any event
their friends now in Office will be cared
for through the influence of Republican
friends. Another class Of senators includes
those who know the above facts and were
unwilling to let the patronage pass from
thelr grasp without show of resistance,
at least not without referring to the cause
or the apathy on the part of their more
fortunate colleagues, and not without
rubbing into somes of the Republicans
some of their civil service reform talk that
was INDUCED in by the Republican
senators when the Democrats gobbled
all of the Offices few years ago. Some
of the Democrats deprecated the adoption
of this policy or the Interpolation of any
proceeding that might lead to warm de-
bate, as they saw that all talk about retain
ing the Democratic employ es because they
are efficient would easily be turned into
ridicule by referring to the Democratic
precedent by which this very corps
of officers and employees were
put into their places, or by
example of the house in turning out Re
publican employees merely to make roon
for Democrats. The situation and the.
speeches to-day did not tend to induce
harmony of feeling, but there was finally
harmony of action in the nomination of
an entire ticket from secretary down. The
Republicans have majority without the
aid of Malone or Riddieberger, and have
those two readjus ter statesmen as con-
tingent allies to rely upon if needed.
1t is therefore probable that
the Republicans will elect their
nominees after some of the democrats
have advertised their chagrin by futile
raidings at the major,ty.
GOOD WORD FOR DAKOTA.
| Hon. James n. Tyner, of Indiana, who
spent the summer season in Dakota, is in
the city. He speaks in the most glowing
| terms of Dakota, whose future, he thinks,
is very promising. He says immigration
| to that country has been unparalleled, and
| will continue rapidly until every acre Of
public land is taken. He thinks the ter
ritory should be divided before admission
into the union, but that the proposition TO
divide will be an obstacle to admission,
and that it will finally be admitted as one
state. In his opinion congress cannot much
| longer ignore Ghe demands Of the people
| of Dakota to be taken into the union, but
is will not be done al the present session.
An enabling act may, however,
be passed authorizing the
territory 80 adopt constitution
| to be presented at subsequent session of
congress. This would tide the matter
over until after the presidential election
when action VIII be taken in favor CT ad-
mission.
