domination In South Carolina, Mississippi

1t has been arranged by the bosses that
Matthew Quay will be the next United
States senator from this state, and, mark
my word, he viii be- That's the polit.
ical style in the Keystone state. The
reason we so often boast OF our lib
erty is principally because we haven't
got aug.
AS In New York's case, Massachusetts
has fallen from her high senatorial estate.
Henry l., Dawes, whose term as senator
from the Bay state expires heXt year, is a
country lawyer Of moderate ability, who
lives among the hills of Western Massa
chusetts in the small city of Pittsneld
He has gained some notoriety at the head
of the senate Indian affairs committee
but distinction he has none, for the SIM
pie reason that he has nothing In the top
of his head to distinguish him. | know
him well, and | never yet heard him utter
q sentence or express an idea, either in
public or private, that might not have
come from the most ordinary country
lawyer in either Massachusetts, or Texas.
Dawes is serving his second term, and
although the policy of Massachusetts, has
long been to keep her representatives at
Washington term after term, this is
undoubtedly the last term that Dawes
will be kept there. Two years ago, when
Robinson, the present governor Of Massa-
chusetts, but at THAT time member OF
the house, who Is Familiarity known as
George ID. Robinson he, was urged TO
accept the nomination for governor
against Ben Butler, he at first declined,
fearing defeat, and as an extra induce
ment 1t was agreed among certain few
that Robinson should succeed Dawes,
provided he was successful IN defeating
Butler. Robinson laid out Butler then
aud Prince this year, aud now comes for
ward with the perennial smle for which
he is as noted locally as ever Schuyler
Colfax was nationally, aud demands the
senatorship, Whether his friends will be
able to deliver the goods or not Is some
/, thing of n question, but it looks now as
: though they might. However, EX-Gov.
Long is looming up as a candidate, while
Dawes himself will not be snuffed out
without struggle.

Berkshire county, Massachusetts,, man
who has acquired some property from q
tract of stones and hills, such as the aver.
