THE NEW JUDGE,

There is no criticism upon the gentle
man from Michigan, ii. b. Brown, the
president has suddenly sprung upon the
country as his choice to fill the vacancy
on the supreme bench when forced to
abandon his pet scheme of putting his
old partner. Attorney MILLER. in the
position. There could be no disparage-
ment, as the name is entirely unknown
outside of, perhaps, his own state.
That he will worthily fill the station
may he assumed. Whether he will he

aiice of the president or recent dis

nate Judge GRESHAM had an over-estI-
mate of his resources. He was not
at liberty to go away from the West for
the man, and the selection affords
emphasis to the exhibition of unforgiv-
ing luminosity to Judge GRESHAM. AS
a man of practical politics he should
have his iifcipient antagonist of 1888
decurousIy out of any future way. In
addition, he could have inspired feel
ing of gratitude among the friends of
GRESHAM, who showed that they were
worth having as friends in the last con-
test. But HARRISON can not rise above
himself.

BLAINE AS A HYPNOTIsT

Long" Jones Plays His Last
Card in the Illinois
Game.
The Seats OF Five Democratic
State Senator's to Be Con-
tested.
Cumulative Voting Declared
Unconstitutional by Mich
igan Supreme Court.
The National Alliance Confer
ence May Be Temporarily
Postponed.

CHICAGO, Dec. A.-Chairman Long"
Jones, of the Republican state central
committee. gave notice tonight that the
right of five Democratic state senator's
elect to sit in the legislature would be
contested. This is the latest maneuver
in the fight for the United States sena-
torship from Illinois. fhe notices were
withheld until the last moment allowed
by law, the motive for the delay being,
it is understood, to avoid stirring up the
Democrats to possible reprisals. The
state senators upon whom notice was
served are: NOunan, of the First dis
trict; Caldwell, of the Thirty-ninth;
Arnold. of the Fifteenth; Dawkins. OF
the Seventeenth; and Coppinger, of the
Forty-frst. General charges of bribing
voters with money and promises of
Office in the organization of the general
assembly are the main grounds set forth
FOR the contests except as to Dawkius,
who is alleged to be Ineligible because
Of foreign birth. With the contest against
Merritt, OF Springfield, there is now a
controversy raised as to an even half
dozen Democratic seats and a pair Of
Republican. The legislature is almost
evenly divided between Democrats and
Republicans on joint ballot, with three
Farmers Alliance men apparently hold
ing the balance of power. The avowed
candidates so far are Gen. John NJ.
Palmer (DemocraO and Charles B. Far
we'll (Repubiican), who is the present
incumbent. The struggle promises 10
be fully as herce and sensational as the
memorable one in which the late Gen.
John A. Logan defeated "HUrizOntai"
William r. Morrison. now memb II of
the Interstate commerce commission.

these omSuch as the relations OF the

were sent out before the election and
did not take into consideration the pos
sibility of other parties being in the field
besides the Republican and Democratic,
aud may be subject to some modification.
On the Republican side it is not surpris-
ing that Mir. BLAINE should DO some
what in the lead, as it has not been
quite clearly understood that he would
insist upon giving way to HARRISON.
Still. he Is not greatly III the advance of
HARRISON in the poll. Tho ratio is

that RUsK has following that may
bring him into the list of poSsibies.
The most significant fact developed in
the ei.tire showing is that CLEVELAND
is the favorite with the farmers. He

times as many as any other Demo

enormously among the farmers since
the last election. He is IN the agricuit-

wanting to loan than to borrow money.
His knowledge of the monetary phases

There are other circumstances tending
to confirm the view that the stringency
in money matters is likely soon to dis

NO GOOD unLECTIoN.

The superintendent bill went through
the house easily and with no attempt To
make its passage tedious. but it is init
mated that it will not have so prosper
Gus time in the other body. Senator
VANCE and other prominent Democrats
indicate disposition to obStruct and
defeat it if they are able. The objee-
tiOliS alleged do not afford very geuer-
Gus support for that course. The fact
that il has been unusual for the Coll
greSs sitting at the time the census is
taken to make the apportionments has
been one of the accidents of the time,
NOT policy. On former occasions the
summing up of the enumeratorS has
been SO delayed that the there
was no chance for the immediate
congress to act on it. Haste has been
made by the present census people in
completing the figures, and they have
been furnished congress. The motive
for this breach of presidents is not MA
tpriaI. The chief objection urged
that in the basis taken for the ratio tn
fractions work unfavorabiy for Demo
cratic states. There are IL of these
fractions that eXcred a half ratio. and
consequently have member allotted To
each, Il majority Of them going to Re-
publican states. This is of nominal
party concern only. The additions

Der from New York eity.at the expense,
in this case, of the Republican portion
of the state. But there are large frac-
tolls in several states that will not be
represented. Ope of the chief sufferers
from this is Minnesota. The ratio is in
FOUND numbers, rs, 900. and an excess of
half of that sim would give another
member. but this state falls three or
four thousand short. New York.
Arkansas. and perhaps one or two
others, have fractions HAT approximate
the half ratio. and lose the member.
1t has not been shown that auY other
ratio would relieve this objection. un-
less by giving an undesirable volume
TO the memi ership. Some diserpp-
ancies and grievances are unavoidable.
The objections are less wpighty than
the advantages 10 be gained. This is
specially the case in this state. The un-
equal growth of population has made
some districts nearly double the size of
others. Should this apporliOnment he
defeated. they will continue so at the
next election. Should the congress to
come i'll year hence be able to pass an
early bill, the legislature would not be
In session to make the apportionment.
This would be the case in many states
unless special sessions were called. 1t
will evidently be better TO accept the
present measure than delay. unless there
are more serious objections than have
been urged in opposition.

cast one vote for each of the candidates
for representative on his ticket, or, if
he chose, as many votes for one candi-

ticket for that Office. The county boards
of canvassers having refused to issue
certificates of election to representa-

was carried to the supreme court. The

clearly unconstitutional. This decision
