THE SOLDIER IN POLITICS.

Tom Ewing, OF West Seattle. believes that he
can control many OF the Democratic votes. His
fayorite expression is: 81 would sooner vote
for yellow dog on the Republican ticket than
for the best Democrat in existence" IL is such
men Ewing and Bennett who claim ''nost
emphatiely," as they say, Democratic votes for
Judge Calkins. Colonel kaufman, the famous
Democratic war horse, predicts the defeat of his
fellow-townsrnsn, who recently arrived there.
Colonel kaufman says that Democrat would
be disfranchised before he would vote for the
Indiana man. Nearly every Democrat in the
state repudiates the statement that they can be
controlled by Bennett and Ewing. Senator
Squire claims no Democratic votes.-0lyapid

THE MINNESOTA sPEAKERsHIP.


Il. t. Champlin, the successful Alliance
candidate for Speaker of the lower house
of the Minnesota legislature, is thus de-
scribed by the Pioneer Press: "Mr. Champ
lin is 80 years of age, and is fine speci-
men of physical manhood. His form is
erect and stalwart. His full beard and
hair are white, or nearly SO, and his voice
Is deep and sonorous. In manner and
speech he is deliberate and decided" He
has served three terms in the legislature
He served in the Union army from 1851
until the close of the war. going in as
private and coming out as brevet captain.
The election of Champlin shows that the
Minnesota Alliance men are not novices in
political management. Their first over
lures for coalition were to the Repub-
licans, which came to naught because the
latter, having Al votes to 50 of the Ali
ance, insisted on the speakership. Tn 10
the last hallot-the contest lasting three
days-the vote was solid on all three can
didates-4i Republicans, II Democrats and
p Alliance, and al the close Dundrearv's
philosophy, that 1.-The tail cannot wag the
dog, you know" was negatiyed. The
