A Put-up Job,

From the Bellows Falls Times:

least while Ball of Bellows Falls was by
far the most popular and capable candi.

robable-indeed quite likely-that the
same tactics were employed elsewhere
There seems to us no gainsaying the ex
istence of just cause for bolt"
This is pretty strong indictment
but, in justice to our esteemed con.
temporary, the Times, we would say
that, Notwithstanding all this, it does
not feel ''insulted' in having put-uI
job thrust upon the people.

Republican Tactics.

1t is not improbable that the New York
Tribune was directed by the republican
leaders the other day when it insinuated
that southern democratic congressman were
ready to trade away their votes on the
worlds fair site question for enough repub-
hcan votes to defeat the bills for placing
congressional and national elections under
control of the federal government. 1t
doubtless had reason to suppose that the
republican leaders had already determined
to favor Chicago as the site of the fair for
political reasons, and these leaders want 1t
to appear to republicans in New York as if
the southern democrats were responsible for
the selection.
Senator Morgan says that it is ridiculous
to suppose that southern democratic con-
gressmen would bargain away sheir votes
on any question. He says, however, that
there are good reasons for saying that the
republican leaders want the fair held in
Chicago. The select Senate committee
which has charge of the matter in the Sen
ate has been increased from seven to
fifteen, and it is known that the republican
caucus discussed the fair site question. The
old select committee favored New York,
and the addition of eight members to it is
taken as an indication that a committee
was wanted that favored Chicago.
The impression is that the republican
leaders think that the Republican party
will be greatly helped by having the fair in
Chicago The national republican conven-
ton will doubtless be held in that city, and
the intention is probably to run the fair SO
as to promote the success of the national
republican ticket. If Chicago gets the fair,
it will be because it is on the republican
programme that she shall have it.

4 case Without Precedent.

1t is expected that tee two sets OF sena-
tors from Montana will present their ere
dentiais to the Senate within day or two.
Messrs. Clark and Maginnis are the demo
cratic senator's elect, aud Messrs. Saunders
aud Power fhe republican senators elect
The credentials Of the democratic senator's
are signed by the governor Of the state,
and those Of the republican senator's by the
secretary of state OF course both sets Of
credentials are irregular, not being signed
by both the governor and secretary Of state,
and both, no doubt, will be sent TO the com
mittee on privileges and elections.
There is no precedent in the history of
the Senate for a case like these credentials
present The Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections will make of course, a
show of investigating the claims of both
democratic and republican senator's. but
there is very good reason for thinking that
it will not decide in favor Of either, but will
report that there are no legally elected sena-
tors from Montana If such a report is
made and adopted, the state will be without
representation in the Senate, and the legis-
lature that will be elected next fall will
The democratic senator's ought TO be
given the seats, because the democrats of
Montana fairly elected a majority of the
legislature. The state canvassing board
threw out precinct in Silver Bow county,
and in that way the republicans got what
they claim to be a legal majority of the
legislature.
The republicans have a good working
majority in the Senate, and hence they
have no strong temptation to do an illegal
act If, however, they needed a larger
majority they would find way, doubtless,
to seat the republican senators from Mon
tana that would have the appearance of
being legal They don't want to make q
bad precedent, however, when there is
no occasion for doing so; and, be-
sides, if they were to seat
the republican senators, there would be
such a feeling of Indignation in Montana
that the republicans would not stand
chance of carrying the state for many
years. The probabilities are therefore that
Messrs. Clark and McGinnis, and Messrs.
Saunders and Power will return home from
Washington to await the action of another
legislature of their state No one of them
may ever have the opportunity of speaking
to the country from place in the Senate.
