Opposing Don Cameron.
One Of the results of the election in
Pennsylvania indicates that there will be a
bitter contest for the election of a successor
to United States Senator J. Donald Cam
eron, whose term expires March 3, 1891.
In 2 liladelphia the Mechanics, who bitterly
opposed Quay, are also opposed to Cameron
because of his intimacy with the former.
There is prospect that at least eight or ten
members of the Phila ielphia delegation to
the next legislature will oppose Cameron
for reelection In Allegheny county,
where the figures have soured the Quay
people mo 9 than the news of their
defeat, they are indulging in wild talk
about getting even, and while the McManes
people in Philadelphia are opposed to
Cameron for supporting Quay, the news
from Pittsburg is that the Quay people will
not support Cameron, because of his half
hearted support of Senator Deama-
ter's candidacy for governor. Penn
sylYania will have in the next legis-
lature 1856 republicans and ninety-eight
democrats on joint ballot, the Senate stand
ing thirty republicans and twenty demo-
Gratis. Among the republicans are num-
Der of those who bslieve that it is time for
both Quayism and Cameronisn to be rele-
gated to the rear and new men brought to
the front. While greatly rejoicing over the
election of Gov. Pattison, the demo
Gratis are evidently determined to
take advantage of every dis
wi
the ranks of their political opponents With
this end In view, it is given out that ex-
Postmaster Harrity, who receives most of
the credit for Pattison's victory, Chairman
Kerr and William L. Scott of Erie, will
form combination with the farmers alli-
ance of Pennsylvania in order that. in sue
ceedtng elections, by working harmoniously
| together, they can secure control of the
legislature, and thereby enact such laws as
will serve the purposes of both organiza-
tons. All of these schemes seem to be de-
void of thought for the vital Interests of
Don, the senator who Clipped in $780, 900
to keep his party out of the soup. OF such
ingratitude are politicians made.
Wyoming's first legislature assembled at
Cheyenne Wednesday last at noon Per-
manent organization was effected by the
election of o. P. Kellogg as speaker of the
| House and William r. Schnitger for presi-
dent of the Senate. Then the fight for the
United States senators began. Heretofore
the election Of ex-Delegate j. N. Carey has
been regarded as certain. His chances are
now inperiled by the entrance into the race
of Gov. Warren, who had frequently been
charged with having senatorial aspirations
concealed about his person, but said
nothing. He is now in the fight to win.
He has the Laramie county and North
ern Wyoming members, but is bitterly
opposed by the Albany county and
Westerm Wyoming members. Albany
county members have united upon ex-Gov.
John ". Hoyt, and are trying to bring all
of Warren's opposers to their aid. Both
Carey and Warren live in Cheyenne, and
the cry is raised that Cheyenne wants to
control the state. Opposition to the election
of two Cheyenne men is so bitter that the
fighting members threaten to bolt the
caucus and refuse to vote for Carey until
the other senator is named. Should Warren
be nominated they will fight Carey, despite
gaining statehood for w yoming. Through
the meshes of this diverting republican
tangle of heels and heads democrat may
possibly manage to squeeze into the Senate
Let them fight it out.
Election times are hard on the gentle
politician evea in North Carolina. 1t had
been generally believed that the farmers
alliance would support Senator Vance for
reelection to the United States Senate, but
the PROGRESSIVE Farmer, an alliance organ,
published at Raleigh aui edited by L. l..
Polk, president of the alliance has declared
its opposition to the senator. 1t is reported
that alliance democrats will vote with the
republicans and elect Polk. But that doesn't
seem likely. Just wait till "Old Zeb" gets
among the grangers with his jokes.
Hearing Of Succi in his great starvation
act, young man has written to the New
York papers to offer his services as an ami
mated vacuum for absut $500. He says he
has had some experience of practical fam
inc, but before starting in on this voyage of
emptiness he suggests that he would like to
have q slight advance Of cash and a square
fill up. After that he might change his
mind.
In recent interview Senator Sherman is
reported to have said that the ''only COURSE
for the republicans is to continue on the line
they have pursued, in the hope that by the
next election the public will be convinced
by the test of time that the tariff will ad-
vance prices" No need for further tests.
senator. They are thoroughly convinced.
Didn't you hear them shout last week.
