The FOUR NEW STATES.
How Their Admission Will Strengthen til
Republican Party.

How Their Admission VIII Strengthen the
Republican Party.
A good many of our Democratic
friends seem to believe that the DEM
ocrats have about as fair a prospect as
the Republicans of acquiring control
in the new States which are to be Gre
ated this year. A diagram of the
mental processes by which this deduc-
ton is arrived at would be highly in
structive. 1t is hardly probable, al
though, of cou.se, it is entirely posi-
BILE, that these sanguine individuals
imagine that their party will have a
good chance to carry the Dakots If
they take the trouble to consult the
records, however, they will learn that
10th sections of Dakota have been
overwhelmingly Republican for years
past. In fact the election figures will
show that both North and South Da-
kota will undoubtedly be as stalwart
and reliable in their Republicanism as
Vermont or Kansas.
Nor will sensible Democrats be able
to extract much aid and comfort out OF
the partisan record of Washington
Territory. In the election of 1888 the
Republican candidate for delegate to
Congress obtained plurality of over
1000 on a total vote of about 46, 900.
1t is tue that the Territory chose a
Democratic delegate in 1884 and 1886.
but the majorities were small, and
were partly attributable to local dis
sensions in the Republican ranks. In
deed the belief that the Republicans
could carry Washington whenever they
should seriously try to do so, notwith-
standing their reverses in 1884 and
1886, has been so general that the big
Republican majority in 1888 in the
Territory was received as matter of
course, and excited no surprise among
intelligent Democrats.
In but one of the four new States
will the Democrats have the slightest
chance to win, and that one in Mon
tana. Last November that Territory
elected a Republican delegate to Con-
gress by the biggest majority ever
given in the territory in any election
in which a regular contest took place.
Up to that time, however, Montana
had always been carried by the Demo-
Gratis in recent elections. This, of
itself, would go far toward warranting
the presumption that the Republican
majority last year was due to the OPP
Grafton of influences which were ex-
ceptional and temporary in their
character, such as opposition to the
Democracy on account of its unjust
and indefensible policy in defeating
all projects to admit the Territories
to Statehood. Other important con-
siderations, though, enter into the
Montana is entirely sur
rounded by Republican communities.
and nine out of every ten of the thou
sands of American immigrants who
settle in il every year come from Re-
publican localities. There is strong
that the partisan revolu-
ton in Montana year ago repre-
sented a solid and permanent change in
political sentiment in the Territory,
and that, in Presidential elections at
least, it will vote as all the other
States of its section votes-for the
ticket.-St. Louis Globe

And buttonholes him straight,
And funny stories by the score

He chucketh meath the chin;
The merchant too. he doth beguile
With beer and exc with gin.

And with his daughter coy:
