sFFYEARs.

Republican leaders are seeking IN all
directions to find crumbs Of comfort for the
mass Of republican voters because OF the
overwhelming defeat of that party at the
late elections. One of the chief crumbs
Is, that with few exceptions, the admins
tration party during the last fifty years has
lost congress during the middle of It's term.
But when this historical fact Is fully ana
lyzed there Is precious little comfort In It
for the followers of Mckinley, Reed, and
Harrison.
William Henry Harrison lost congress
in the middle of his term. The demo
Gratis elected James X Polk the next presl.
dent. James X Polk .ost congress In the
middle Of his term. The wings elected
Zaehariah Tay ylor the next president. In
1856 Buchanan lost congress In the middle
of his term and the republicans elected the
next president. In 1874 Grant lost CON
gress In the middle of his second term and
In 1876 the democrats elected Tildcn pres
ident. Garfield In 1881 lost congress In the
middle of his term followed by the election
of Cleveland IN 1854, Here are six presl-
dents who, during the last fifty years, lost
congress In the middle Of their term. and
whose party was defeated for president In
the following presidential election.
Franklin Pierce was the only president
in the last fifty years, who lost congress In
the middle of his term and then succeeded
In elect!ng his successor from the party o.
his own political faith.
In the of years of 1862. 1860 and 1870
congresses were elected in harmony with
the president then serving, So, that Ia
every instance, except one, during the las'
fifty years, when the president In power
lost congress In the middle OF the term, thai
has been succeeded by one of the opposite
party. So there Is none but the smalles
conceivable crumb OF comfort In this "of
year" talk. 1t Is highly Psobable that
this is an "ofT year" for republicans, thu
presidential year will be an aifai one TO
them.

WHY He DIDN'T MOVE.

There lives out In Joe Cannon's district
in Illinois an old farmer who is zealou
republican, one O: the red-hoi partisan
stripe. When he heard Of Cannon's &c
feat he said to his wife. who Is one OF those
women who obey their lord and master
blindly:
"Mary, pack up everything. I'm going
to move"
"Why" asked Mary.
"3ecause 10. Cannon ia beat and l won't
live In democrat district"
avery we'll" said Mary, with little re-
sigucd sigh.
Then the old man went 10 town to sell
his farm. There he heard all the election
news. He returned home, and entering
the house said.
"Msry, you can quit packing up. amt
a-going to move"
"Why5" inquired Mary.
"Because." he replied sadly, "there's no
place TO move to-"

The legislature of Illinois is so nearly
tie on joint ballot that there is no telling
who will be elected United States Senator.
In the senate the republicans have 37 SEN
ators and the democrats -. In the house
the democrats have II, the republicans 73
and the farmers mutual benefit association
3. These are James Cockerel, ii II Moore,
and Herman Tanberack, The latter has
pledged himself TO not vote for Palmer.
Moore ran on the democratic ticket and
will support Palmer. Coekerel, although
a vigorous Jaeksonian democrat, run a
gaInst democrat. Democrats count on
his voting for Palmer. If two of the ALI
anee men refuse to vote with the demo
erats there will be a tie on joint ballet.

The desire of the pubic seems to have
been TO "give the democratic party rope"
History is likely to repeat itself as usual.
Oregon BLade.
You are very right. In 1874 the people
rose up In their majesty and elected con-
grcss with democratic majority of II.
Two years following they elected Slmue
] Tilden president. In 1882 the people
desired again to "give the democratic
party rope" and the result vas that the
democrats secured congress that year by a
majority Of 81. Two years later they
elected Grover Cleveland president, thus
repeating the history of 1916. Now
then in the year OF grace 1890 the people
again desired to "giye the democratic party
rope" the result of which desire is excru
tiatingly fresh In the minds of Reed, Nc
Kinley, Harrison & Co. to be followed In
two years by the election Of the man of
destiny In his Law Office In New York City
or some equally sound, able democrat OF
course history will repeat itself as usual

No better argument in favor Of changing the
mode ofelecting the U s Senators can be ad
dueed than the muddle into which the election
Of one in New Hampshire has thrown the
Legislature Of That State. The people Of that
State voted on Nov 4.h for lower tariff, but
they will not for months know whether a pro-
tectionist or a man representing their seni
ment will be elected. The same is true o
Kansas and Dakota. The people Of Illinois
have declared at the polls for Gen Palmer, but
an fccident or death Of one man may send
Republican back TO the Senate, as was the case
when Logan defeated Morrison in 1885. The
Democratic states Of Connecticut and New
York are misrepresenied in the Senate because
Of this Infamous system. There are men in
the Senate who would never be thought Of by
their constituents il they had to submit their
chances Of election to the people. Gerry
Wandering is the offspring Of the present sys-
tenn Of electing the Senator'S by state Leg
stature.

SOME MISTAKES.

The Mercury in its additional page makes
several mistakes. 1t says the erepublicans re-
tain control Of the New York legislature. The
democrats controlit. Again it says the politi.
cal complexion Of the New York delegation in
congress has been reversed, that in the present
house there are nineteen republicans and ff-
teen democrats. while in the next house there
viii be nineteen democrats and Gfteen redubIi-
cans. This is another mistake. The degat
ion inst elected has zs democrats and II re-
publicans. I: says tx governor Foster Of Ohio
was elected 10 congress. Tic was defeated.
Again that paper says,
The new tariff law is emphaticaiIy the poor
mans law, as il fnakssaIl the necessaries Of
life practically free, and imposes The duties
mainly upon the luxuSies Sf1ich AID extraya-
CANT. II the Mercury would b kind enough
to name the necessaries OF life placed on the
free list BY the new tariff law the people would
then know hos correct the above statement

Senator Dolpn, of Oregon has expressed
his views on some of the leading poll
itical questions. He was asked If he
thought Lodges election bill will pass
the senate. He said It would not. He
seemed to be quite confident on that point.
He said the reapportionment bill would
probably be the measure of the most alb
sorbing interest in congress this winter.
fIe thought the house was too large and
unwieldly now, but he could not say what
sort Of bill would pass. The senate
would be apt to concur in whatever the
house decided was best

Apeculiar breach Of promise case has
been decided III the ciicuit court at Lima
Ohio,by verdict for the plaintiff of $1,000.
The case originated at Paulding two years
agojust prior to the presidential campaign.
Miss Mary ShulI was engaged to marry a
prominent young man named Albert
Lehman, who was an ardent republican.
He was helping his PARTY raise a pole In
the town, which was witnessed by Miss
Shull, who was a strong democrat. Dur
ing the pole raising she hurrahed for Cleye.
land several times. This SO angered Leh-
man that he refused to marry the girl.
She brought suit against him, and after
several trials of the case, it resulted as
above stated.

A Washington special says that Poliii-
clans m Washington, who profess to be
posted, say that the movement looking to
the defeat of Don Cameron is a formidable
one, ard tina; he senator IS badly frightened
at the outlook. II is a'so said that the man
who Is likely to come out as a candidate
Is Postmasier-General John Wanamaker
Trusted friends Of Wanamaker's freely
admit that his ambitions are to become the
controlling man In the republican party OF
Pennsylvania, and they are not sure buf
that he cherishes desire to occupy a seat
In She senate as a means to that end. Quay
Is friendly to Cameron and Wanamaker,
but owing 10 recent events neither of these
gentlemen seem particularly anxious at
present for the active support of the chair
