GORDI4N KNOT IN POLITICS.

there was no political difficulty in the wav. Now the
Republicans have the House. while the Democrats have
the senate. II any attempt is made to 60 behind the
returns the Of both houses must be obtained
and 1t Is obvious from the present state OF feeling In
both parties that this cannot happen. 1t is therefore
among the possibilities. indeed 1t may be put down
as very nearly probability that there will be failure
to accept the report Of the board of canvassers
by reason Of disagreeing action on the part
az the houses. This will have the effect Of
keeping the present State officers in power Indefinitely
during the disagreement Of the Legislature until another
election. Governor Buckley is thus placed in a
peculiar position and one that no one would have
dreamed Of possible. There may be opportunity
for compromise but yet there Is outlook in that
direction The effect of the present officers holding

cratic Senate would refuse 10 confirm the appointments
Of the Governor and the present officials would hold
