and everything else. We uscu u "a.
Montana right along. but since tins Al
mInistration came into being the olncHgS
have been worked for all they are worm,
and the Republican managers are PAYNE
no attention to the so-called civil-serVlos
reform nonsense. They go 10 70 WIN, anu
patronage, say what you wall, IS great
lever in campaigns.
The TIDE WILL TURN.
All Of the northwestern States recently
admitted into the Union are Temporarily
standing BIZ the Republicans. but
eventually when they find out how unjust
are the economic laws that have lAtey
been enacted by the Republicans the tide
is ant 10 turn In tnat section in favor OF the
Democracy. The Republicans in admit
ting Wyoming allowed the Mormons 20
vote there because they were certain 20
capture that element at the polls, out ~
Idaho they would not let the followers Oh
Brigham Young vote because they knew
they would vote the Democratic TICKET
In that way the Republicans have caR3tureu
both States and next winter they wiz haNo
q majority Of fourteen IN the Onltes D.nloo
Senate. Unless the Democrats can WIN
few seats Ia some of the other States tnat
choose senators during the coming winter
il will be from FIVE to ten years before We
can hope to have ANYTHING like an even re-
presentation in the upper branch OF Con-
Press. much less an actual majority. NO
thing short of an old-fashioned hdal-Wave
can now dislodge the Republicans IN Ile
Senate. That wave may come along, nut
not unless the people rise up ana sii,lIe .uo
party now in power on account Oh tho P''-
sage of the Mckinley bill.
UNPOPULAR WITH THE MAssTs
Many businessmen who have been here
from the West since the enactment OF the
Mckinley bill say that the measure Is
very unpopular with the masses, Out
whether they will look at it IN this light
when they go to the polls to cast their
votes remains to be seen. A prominent
trunk manufacturer from Detroit now IN
Washington complains bitterly that tne
bill has put up the cost OF TIN ana Irisn
linen used so extensively IN his line OF
business and he is very mad in con-
sequence. He says also that the furniture
manufacturers Of Grand Rapids, IN ms
State. have been unjustly dealt with. lie
predicts that something will drop Wheh
The ueople vote this year in Michigan. In
the Grand Rapids district Mr.. ford, VINO
was in the last Congress, Is again tne
Democratic candidate and the indications
are that he will be elected TINS tline'
sHERMAN's T1SE HAND.
One of the nominations that the Senate
did NOT confirm at the session just closed
was that of William Monohan, OF OHIO,
who is the United States Consul at Hamll-
ton, Ont. Monohan IS prominent poltl-
cal worker in the Buckeye state. ana was
delegate TO the three last national hepuD-
lican conventions. He was never oher-
man man. The Senator has been a stand
ING candidate for the presidency for many
wears. and Monohan twice led break III
the delegation which helped TO knock out
Sherman. Monohan was red-hot blame
man, and the Secretary OF state hau
him appointed Consul. Now 1t. happens
that sherman 10 chairman OF the
Senate Committee on Foreign A1ars,
and he had Monohan's nomination
hung up. Ii il purely piece OF sp,te
work. but it is lust like the Sens tor, Tor he
never forpets the men who have stood IN
| the wayof his political advancement: An
/ other serious offence in the case OF Mono
han is that he has been pretty thlck WIN
Foraker. The Senator and the e1,U0v-
ernor are not on friendly terms. All TINS
has helped to keep alive the pltter Ieellhg
that exists among the OHIO Republicans'
and IL is a lively row. If 1t keeps mp we
NAV be able to more than hold our own IN
that State.
IN M'KINLEY's DISTRICT.
Senator Carlisle has promised to 60 to
| the Mckinley district IN Ohio and make
| speech before the close of the campaign.
| There is going TO be a vigorous campaign
in that district. The Democrats Will pro-
/ badly carry the district no matter now
much outside help is rendered Mr. NC
Kinley. No Democrat Will care TO vote ior
the Republican candidate unless ne Is
man who is willing to sell ont, anu tHey
saw not many such men are IN that district:
Mckinley may, on account OF the local
pride of his constituents, who reallze tnaI
ne has been prominent here, cut down inc
Democratic vote. but the district IS strong
! ly Democratic end he will be beaten.
THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
Great interest is felt here in the contest
/ for members of Congress in Virginia, for
/ the reason that the Republicans IN inc
/ present House turned out two or tho
/ Democratic members 1t should be re-
membered in the Old Dominion that
/ although no State officers are 10 be voted
/ for this year the issues are none the less
! important, and the number OF Democratic
congressman sent to the next House VIII
have an effect upon legislation OF the fu-
ture that cannot he estimated too high
lv. If the Democrats carry the next
House bv largo majority the out
rapeous force bill Will probably not
he pressed in the Senate, but If the Re
publicans control the House or II they keep
/ the Democratic majority down 70 small
| figures they Will be hoTIlnS lor tnc ValO-
net bill, so that they can entrench them
selves for years to come through the power
! that such a revolutionary measure would
afford. So it is OF the greatest importance
for the Democrats of Virginia TO turn out
all along the line in November. Inc Con-
| gressional Committee need not be depend
| ed on for great deal OF assistance. lhey
have an idea that We can take care OF our
selves IN the South, and 1t Will nave 10 DC
done. Virginia will have at least nine
| Democrats in the next House II the people
90 TO the polls and vote.
Tho claim of Langston that the HARRISON
Administration wants him elected IN tht
Petersburg district and that aid will be
| extended TO him is pure rot. MT. Harrl
son has gotten pretty sick of the whole lie
! nubllcan party in the South, and without {
| force bill to make II easy to steal seats th'
| northern Republicans are not gong tS
waste much time and money in the South
Their idea is that If Langston expects Z
whip Malone il will have to be done on Ms
own hook.
