seemed to be the general impression that
they would be republican states. There
was no Jubt that North and South Dakota
would, and the fac tat the republicans
had carried Washington and Monta ia some
months before was taken as evidence that
they had joined the column of republican
states, and W uld remain in that column
II the republic IN members of congress had
not believed that this was true, they would
hardly have voted as they did
Subsequent developments have caused
the republicans to fear that they made a
mistake. Washington and Montana h we

is stated that Mr.. Arkell selected "Ben the
Concilia5or," as the title, bu that somebodv
