The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1888-11-29

reason II That their majority in the House
will b. % very small that they fear enough
Of the Republican members elect may die
before next Decembsrto make the majority
should that party elect their
successors. hence they want to take no
chances about capturing the organization Of
the House. Whether Harrison will be viii
ling to call an extra session Of congress
for the purpose Of allowing his party
to organize the House of Representatives re-
mains to DO seen.
Most people would think that this country
was already overloaded with class voters.
yet some Republicans are demanding . posi-
ton in Harrison's cabinet for Editor De-
Young Of the San Francisco Chronicle, be-
cause he represents the Hebrew vote, This
thing is getting somewhat m%onotonous. II
oil the class voters are to be recognized in
appointing officials. where are the American
voters to come in? Mr.. DeYoung may be.
and probably is, as good . man rs the aver
age republican, but If his only claim to Office
10 being the representative Of the Hebrew,
or any other class vote. he should not be
appointed. IL
The Republicans who have been retained
in Office during the whole Of Mr.. Cleveland's
administration are now showing their graft
tude by talking in favor of q "clean sweep
when Harrison comes in.
1t issaid here that Harrison purchased the
support Of the Craftsman, of this city. the
alleged official organ of the international
Typographical Union, by promising to ap-
point one Of its editors public printer.
Representative Perry Belmont, Of New
York City, the popular chairman of the
House committee on foreign affairs, has
been appointed United States minister to
Spain. He has accepted, and will imme-
diately resign his seat in the fftieth con.
gress. He declined a denomination, at the
recent election, to the fifty first congress.
MIR. Belmont will make an excellent repre-
sentative abroad for this country, tho only
pity being that the coming Republican nd
ministration will make his present diplo.
matte career a short one.
Much is said about Harrison's probable
policy. The only thing on which to base an
opinion is his course in the Senate. He was
always known ae = conservative man so far
as his own opinions went. and yet he always
voted with his party, no matter what the
subject to be voted upon or how radical i,
might be in its effect. This fact should moi
be lost sight Of in attempting to make d
forecast of what he will do % president
Whea l know the men who will compose
his cabinet l will be prepared to express az
opinion Is to his probable policy, but no.
before.
Washington is already busy preparing for
the coming Inauguration. There are nc
politics on Inauguration day here. Mem.
bers Of both parties are put on the commit.
tee to make arrangements, and everybody
endeavors to make each one better than the
preceding one. 1t will be very difficult,
however, if not impossible, to excel the in
auguration Of Mr.. Cleveland.
All upper-tendom attended the auction,
sale today At the British legation Of the
personal effects Of Lord Sackville, the ex.
British minister.
The advance guard Of the second session
of the 6ftieth congress is already here, and
the work of the session may fairly be said
to on Wednesday of this week
when abe House committee on appropria-
tions will hold v meeting.
