The members of the democratic part!
are almost wild over the action "f the
Senate committee on privileges and cleo
lions i'm the matter of seating the repub-
licans from the state of Montana. In
conversing with Martin Maglnnis. one
of the defeated democratic aspirants,
this afternoon that gentleman said: 1.-THE
unfortunate thing about this whole mat
ter is that these two senatOrships are long
terms; that is they will last from four to
six years. With the Senate in control OF
the republican party as it now is ire
trievably for that space of time, affairs
in Montana can be so manipulated that
il will be almost impossible for us to
gain democratic victory there again.
Major Maginnis did not mean to make
a political confession or concession. but
in the bitterness of despair he did say
those things which indicate how little
hope he has of future democratic ascen-
dancy. The fact of the matter is that
all of the northwestern states, clear to
the Pacific. are naturally republican and
should be. The new states of Idaho and
Wyoming will soon add their quota to
the republican side Of the electoral col
lcge so that hereafter there is no likeli-
hood that the rebels and traitors and
their copper-head sympathizers in this
country will have any control over ma
tional affairs.
am not prepared to state authOrita-
lively, by quoting the words of Speaker
Reed, Major Mckinley or any other re-
publican leader. nevertheless it may be
stated to the readers that an election law
will be passed by this Congress, which will
make the republican votes in the South
count for something and mean some
thing. The republican party acted the
part of either a fool or a coward when it
sat supinely down and permitted one
great section of this country to be dom
mated by shotguns in the hands of law
less mobs. The republican party now in
power is party of intelligence. courage
and forcefulness. and the right of suf-
frage will be granted to our citizens il,
the South. Their votes will be cast in
peace, and their ballots will be counted
as east. There will not be complete
democratic delegation from the Southern
states in the ifty first Congress. and they
who are figuring on democratic success
in that Congress, at the polls next No
vember, are figuring in ignorance of cur
rent events. The crimes against the bal
lot in the South will be suppressed. The
manner and method of doing this am
not ut liberty to state.
1t is said that Minister Palmer who has
represented this country at Madrid since
May last will return to this country about
the first of June. 1t is understood to be
the ambition of the Ex-Governor to be
governor of his native state. He has
been defeated once or twice for the NOM
know the reason why. There will be
three candidates in the field against him.
aud it is probable that he will not have
the support of the Alger men. Palmer,
while he was in the Senate, became very
popular in this city and he will receive
a very warm welcome upon his return.
The wife of President Harrison will
have conferred great favor upon the
wives of all succeeding presidents, upon
this great and growing community as
well as the nation at large. if she sue
ceeds in causing the White House to be
remodeled after the plans which have
recently been prepared under her direc-
ton. Ii will cost considerable money to
carry ont those plans. but the people of
this country do not begrudge the eXpen-
diture of million for the comfort and
welfare of their president and his family
and to enable them to live properly in the
presence of the representatives of for
eign nations. Jag, As
The Senate committee Oh elections has
done its duty. The democrats from Mon-
lana who sought seats in the Senate upon
fraudulent titles have been dismissed. as
they deserved to be. and the will of the |
people has been respected. The legisla- !
ture of Montana was republican and nat
uraHy elected republican senators. The
Senate has decided that the duly elected
republican senators shall have their seats. |
This is a. il should be. ARMAr.
