The Union Getting Solid.

In 1891, says the Montgomery Advertiser,
there will be Farmers Alliance Governor
in Kansas, Democratic Governors in twenty
eight States and the governorship in two
States in dispute. Add to this that Illinois
and Indiana, though they have Republican
Governors, have elected Democratic Legisla-
lures. The States now arrayed against high
taxes and the bloody shirt issue number SO,
100000 inhabitants, against 1900, 600 in
Republican states. The Republican majority
in the present United States Senate repre-
SCENTS the sentiment of a small faction of the
American people. In trying to pass the force
bill it presents the spectacle of minority rule
trying to perpetuate itself by INSCRIPTIONS
means.

Porter is determined to win his case, but the
country is not concerned with this contro-
