The Badger Senator Says Allison
Is All Right.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. S.-Sen-
ator Spooner was moving around up
town this morning looking as cheerful
as though he had just attended the
funeral of the Democratic party.
Senator Allison is all right" Said he to a
reporter. Il received a dispatch from him
last night in which he said that the Iowa
legislature was undoubtedly Republican an
other telegram came to me from the chair
man of the state central committee an d as
majority of 2 or on joint ballot. There is
no man In the senate we would miss more
than Allison; He cannot be spared" :
Are there any anti-Allison men among
the Republicans in the legislature?" asked
the reporter.
"Fiddlesticks," was all the senator could
trust himself to say.
The Evening Star says:
Iowa has thirteen electoral votes. They
would almost counterfeit the effect il they
went Democratic, of Indiana's going Repub
lican. or of the detection of New Jersey and
Connecticut. They would more than bal

they would exactly fill the place of the new
states in the Northwest il all four Of them
should cast their votes with the Republicans

LICENSE IN IOWA.

The impression is quite common that
prohibition has been worked into the
constitution in Iowa, and consequently
its removal will be matter of time and
difficulty, as it would be in the case of
the Dakotas. Some of the prominent
journals fall into this error. An amend
ment to the constitution was adopted by
popular vote in 1882, but the highest
state court found assures in it that
caused its demise as vital force. and
the prolIibitory acts now in force have
no basis in the constitution. The only
support for the pOlicyis the voice of the
legislature. The exact standing Of the
members-eleet of that body on this ques-
ton is not defined. but it is believed
that majority will favor the policy of
the Democratic platform and support
the substitution of stringent license
law for prohibition. This is the evident
will of the people.

ONE OF THE FATHERS.

When the Republican who was with
that party in its early days on account
of its anti-slavery aims notes that
GEORGE w. JULIAN is removed from
Office by Republican president for
political reasons, he will rub his eyes
and ask il this is really the Republican
party he joined in the old time. JULIAN
was one of the old guard that followed
Republican principles before that party
had an organization. He was the can
didate for vice president on the free
soil ticket in 1852. he was known over
the country as one of the devoted band
of men who were ready to follow their
convictions away from all parties. He
did as much any man to break the way
for the Republican party. He has re-
manned true to the liberal and cherished
principles of his life, and consequently
is outside the present Republican COM
binatiOn.

TROUBLE FOR MONTANA.
The New State Is Practically
Without County Officers.

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. SIN the midst
of the rejoicing in this city tonight
over the admission of Montana to the
Union, there are many good citizens
who do not hesitate to predict
trouble for the new state. The
people of Silver Bow county tonight
lind themselves In very unique situa-
ton. The election muddie is so
befogged that no one can be found who
can furnish a solution. This
county is tonight practically without
officers. The proclamation of the presi-
dent admitting Montana Cancelled the
commissions upon which the old officers
were elected, and the new officers have
not yet been sworn in. An incident
which will show one of the many ques-
tons likely to arise occurred in the dis

thismoye, rose and laid on the judges
table certificate of election as judge Of
the district, issued by the state board of

fact to the judicial notice of the court.
The scene that followed was I'M

The political revolution in Ohio is
largely the work Of the men sometimes
termed vest pocket voters. They
are generally thoughtful, intelligent
men, who have no aspiration for
office and are conscientious in voting
their honest convictions. At least,
they want to, but are sometimes
forced in the wrong way by the par
tisan Jam boree. They are not always
particularly courage Gus, and shrink
from the jeers and imputations Of party
disloyalty from the men who run the
political machines for Doodle. That this
quiet class was large in Ohio is indicated
by the astonishing discrepancy between
the estimates furnished the Republi-
can state committee before the cleo
ton and the statistics Of the
ballot boxes. On the day of the
election, when it too late to sup
pose that false statements would be put
out for effect, the Ohio papers of the
party published the estimates of the
chairman of the committee. He stated
that he had the complete poll of more
than 1900 of the voting districts, and
they show plurality for the Republi-
can state ticket of over 81 600. This
means that the party was thoroughly
organized. with its agents on duty in
every voting district, and they had taken
a political census. The chairman speaks
of this organization as magnificent. and
asserts that the enthusiasm in the party
was greater than almost ever known in
a state election. But in place of the
1000, the result was more than $4,000
away from his claims. He was. no
doubt, justified in his confidence
10y the reports received from the local
observers. Tie Republican machine in
Ohio is probably not surpassed in per-
fection of business detail in any state.
1t has reduced the carrying of elections
to a system that has business in all its
ramifcations. Early in the canvass the
precinct committeeman send to the gen.
eral committees complete lists of voters
classified politically, and the doubtful
reported as such, with suggestions as to
their vulnerable side. These reporters
did not find enough doubtful to reduce
possible figures below 1900. Revised
reports are sent again in the later parts
of the campaign, SO that the state COM
mittee has substantial data for esti-
mates. The fact that this information
gathered by the machine agencies was so
widely variant with the outcome shows
that the overthrow of the Republican
party in Ohio is the work of the men who
have been reading and quietly forming
opinions. They have studied the politi-
cal questions in their business aud prae-
teal relations and reached the cOnclu-
sion that their interests demanded
change. They realized the fact that
they have contributed of their meager
substance to enrich corporations and
pampered interests. As they have come
to their conclusions from intelligent in
vestigation, they will be likely TO adj
here to them, and, while they may not
make change in party name openly,
they will continue to vote in the direc-
ton their intelligent convictions lead.
Hence, it may be assumed that Ohio
will be more than hopeful ground for
the Democrats in the future.

THE NEW FIGURES.

It has been insisted by Republican
papers that, with the advent of the new
states. they can pull through in the ma
tiOnal bout of 1892 without New York.
This has seemed to them a specially
cheerful view, as it has been a tremen-
dous task to carry the Empire state.
They have been forced to abandon to it
about all asked except the head of the
ticket, and nice balancing has been
necessary to keep the rival chiefs in a
common line. An enormous expendi-
ture of funds has been requisite also,
with the consequent necessity of put
ting some old money bags of Wall street
on the ticket. They have been about
ready to concede that New York must
be counted against them in the next
presidential election. The recent
elections, however, disturb the Sc
renity OF their fancies. They can
not avoid the apprehension that
that their reliance upon Iowa and Ohio
has lost its chief basis, and that those
states must be classed as among the
doubtful. When Ohio and Iowa are
doubtful, it requires very little candor
to eoneede Indiana as assuredly Demo-
cratic. West Virginia is the only South
ern state that the most sanguine Repub-
lican can hope to carry. Put it on the
doubtful list and add to the other states
that voted for CLEVELAND last year
New York and Indiana, and there are
2l3 electoral votes for the Democrats.
while but 206 are needed to elect. This
leaves out Montana, which is reasonably
sure for the Democrats. If the Demo-
Gratis can carry Ohio and Iowa they are
not likely to lose New York, and Hi
nois is now doubtful. The educational
work is making splendid progress and
will COON till its fruits are garnered.

Guilty many Democrats seem to have in
dissipating the impression. that the
party disloyalty Of prominent persons
lost the election to Mr.. CLEVELAND
last year. This conviction. whether
right or wrong as matter of fact, wilt
be very effective in inducing the next
national convention to prefer statesmen
not residents of New York. 1t will be
assumed that no citizen of that state
could come nearer the full vote of the
party than Mr.. CLEVELAND. AT least.
the convention would demand aSSur-
ances that there was such cheerful
unanimity in the party there that the
loss of the state would not re-
suit in the face of an evident
Democratic majority. 1t would oe
suggested that there was getting
to be geographical monotony in the Sc
lection of the candidate of the party
for president. Since 1860 the Democrats
have uniformly taken their choice FOR
the highest Office from New York, with
the single exception of Gen. HANCOCK
in 1850, and he can hardly be regarded
as an exception. There has been no
corresponding uniformity in the sup
port of its own sons. Only three out of
the seven times has the state given its
electoral vote to the Democrat. 1t is
probable that the vote would have gone
the same way each time if the candidate
had not been the selection of that state.
The Republicans have never taken
candidate for president from New
York since they first carried general
election. That state has furnished the
Democrats men quite large enough for
the first station, but there is a good deal
of politically productive country out
side of that state.

THE STORM HAS ABATED.
Further Fatalities Reported From

CLAYTON, N. NJ, Nov. S.-The storm
has abated, and for the first time in nine
days the sun shone to-day. While no
{ authentic reports have been received
concerning the loss of life, reports come
from inland that several Mexi-
can herders were frozen on Leon, a
small creek twenty miles south of town.
: No communications have been had d.
Tectly and the mails to seven differ
ent p0stoffices inland have not ar
rived. Some apprehension Is felt con-
corning the mail driver, who should
have reached Clayton last evening, but

Grande tonight give another case OF
freezing, that of Joe Martin, cowboy.
The depth of the snow cannot. be
correctly estimated, as the snow pillow,
drifts two miles north of town to-day,
and only after three hours of
shoveling was released. Train

SNOW, HAIL AND SLEET.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. S.-Dispatches
from South and Western Kansas give
details of fierce snow storm that
ragged there to-day. Snow, hail
and sleet fell so thick and
was driven so fiercely by the wind that
in many places people did not even dare
to venture out of doors. The trains are
somewhat delayed, though none have
been abandoned.

NO COMFORT THERE.

The attempt of some of the opponents
of administration politics to find cheer
in the explanation that the elections
have resulted about as usual in the off
years. needs TO avoid reference to fig
ures. These dissipate all basis for con-
ISOLATION in thatquarter. Two years ago
was the most recent of the off years.
There was no election of congressman,
and only similar conditions to those of
this year. Gov. FORAKER then carried
Ohio by q, 500, and now has lost it by half
as much, a difference of nearly $1,000
votes in favor of the Democrats this
year. Iowa, two years ago, elected
the Republican governor by 16, 16O. The
Republican loss this year is over $4,000.

FOUND IN A BARREL,

was that of Charles Kemper, young
man about twenty,three years of age.
who disappeared from st. Paul under
mysterious circumstances last June.

IN the spring. and took up apartments
on MS arrival here in block on Waba-
Sna street opposite the capitol building.
ne mad plenty of money and
did nothing In particular but amnss
himself at ball games and other OPEN
air sports. He was Of exemplary tab-
its and spent his evenings reading at
his room. During his brief residence
here he made many warm friends. He
left the house for his customary walk
one bright afternoon in June and
was never again seen or heard Of
in st. Paul. He had no outstanding
bills, had paid his room rent in advance
and no plausible reason could be adj
vanced for his disappearance. His room
was left as though he intended to re-
turn shortly. When he failed to return
within few days his landlady became
anxious and telegraphed to his parents
ia Virginia, thinking that perhaps he
had taken sudden notion to return
home: HIS parents had heard nothing
from him. Letters were them passed,
but no tidings were had of the miss
ing boy. The only and ultimate
theory regarding his mysterious
disappearance was that he had been
victim of foul play. as he was known to
have carried considerable sums of mon
ey on his person at all times. He was
said to have received a large draft the
day before his disappearance. Detect
ives worked upon the case, but could
not fathom the mystery. The friends
OF Kemper claim that the description
of the man found at Johanna talIies
with that of Kemper, and are anxiously
awaiting developments.

1T,606. 1t is now cut down to 5000. Tho
Democrats in New York have added
several thousand to their 17,077 margin
in the last off year, and enlarged their
majority in New Jersey and Virginia.
Had there been elections I'm Indiana and
Illinois, they would have swung over
to the Democratic side. Recent voting
in some of their chief cities gives this
assurance. The significance of the pop

emaciated by comparison with former
fiUuieS.
