The term of Senator Van Wyck, OF
Nebraska, will expire in 1887, and the
wires are being laid for his defeat for re
election. Van Wyck is the only man on
the republican side Of the United States
senate who has been conspicuous for his
opposition to land grabs and other as
saults by monopolists upon the treasury.
This is the reason for the opposition to
returning him to the senate. The repub-
