Political Proba bilisies and Possibilities

Political Probabilities and Possibilities.
WASHINGTON, Aug. mo matter
how the Presidential election may re-
suit, the Senate will convene in special
session early next March. Should
President Cleveland be reelected, his
Cabinet must be reappointed, and
should Gen. Harrison win, the Senate
will be called together to assist him in
organizing his Administration.
If the Republicans elect their Presi-
dental ticket they will be almost sure
to control the Senate. If they lose the
Presidential election they are likely to
lose control of the Senate At all
events, the next Senate will be very
nearly equally divided politically. The
terms Of twenty-six Senators, thirteen
Democrats and thirteen Republicans,
will expire on the third of next March.
OF the outgoing Republicans, the
first State on the list alphabetically is
that of Colorado, and Senator Bowen
is willing to accept another term
The new State of Colorado is prolific
of statesmen, but it is thought Bowen
will be returned.
Senator Dolph, of Oregon, though
not reelected, may feel quite sure as
his State has elected Republican
Legislature. There may be contest
for the place, but as Dolph has made
an excellent Senator and has faithful
ly served his State he will probably be
returned.

A New York dispatch says that
Blaine, when he returns from Europe,
will proceed directly to the Pacific
Coast, making speeches at Los An
geles, San Francisco, Sacramento and
Portland, Oregon. He proposes to lead
a "forlorn hope" although refusing
command in an engagement which
promises sure defeat. He will thus
"pick crow" with Mr.. Cleveland, al
though not necessarily obliged to eat
" billed crow" at the close of the can
vass.

cided preference for Judge Tuner, or
somebody else who will more fully rep
resent their ideas Of political principles
and party propriety.
Mr.. Aliens boom has been allowed
to grow simply because his party COL
leagues regard the contest as extremely
doubtful and the more noted aspirants
were not willing to risk future chances
on doubtful present. They simply
regard him as very good material to
shelve, while testing tho possibility Of
breaking the strength Of Democratic
prestige Of the two past campaigns.
If he is beaten nothing is lost, and if
he should be elected he would not be
able to intrench himself behind insur-
mountable ramparts when the time
came.for selecting another standard
bearer.

ing, that he is lightweight cham.
pion, to Say the least. His argument
sounded more like the bombast of q

FRANK FINLEY, the talented editor
OF the Argonaut, although u Republi-
can, is not SO hide-bound as to endorse
everything his party prescribes as true
doctrine. In an interview, a few days
ago, he is reported to have said: "Here
is another illusti alton of what protec-
ton is doing for me- l had three tons
OF coal sent to my house yesterday at
a cost of $14 ton, which l ought to
get for s. per ton. 1 can stand the
$14, but the poor man can't, and
hope when the winter comes on that
some of those Republican orators who
will be out on the stump talking about
the beauties of protection will get
roasted. over some of that $14 a ton
COAL" And the claim that one cent OF
this excessive price goes to the coal
miner is preposterous, in full view of
the fact that strikes are OF almost
everyday occurrence to force from the
protected Coal Barons" the low rate
Of wages that have always prevailed in
a business that is in the completest
sense monopoly.
SEVERAL parties were hauled up be.

tible reserve of confidence in his own

before he had seen the law, or had the

Of its provisions, he declared with all the
