Tricks In politics in the long run do not
pay. 1t was the Michigan trick of provid-
Ing that Presidential electors should be
chosen by districts instead of at large as
heretofore, that lost the Democrats of
Iowa the legislature of that State, accord.
Ing to the Burlington Hawkeye. The
Michigan trick was prominent In the Iowa
canvass, and itsbade fair to exert such
powerful influence that Boies, the Demo-
cratic candidate, went upon the stump and
declared In the presence of the people that
II the Iowa legislature undertook to pro-
vide for the appointment of electors by dis
tricts he would interpose his veto. But
Tor this pledge 1t is almost certain that he
would have been beaten. As 1t was the
voters determined not to subject him to
temptation and so returned Republican
legislature.

Hill and Tammany Hall are alleged to

not lead to the inference that Crisp is a

is that Hill and Tammany oppose Mills

the Democrats should do something more
than protest against the Mckinley bill,
they should make tariff bill themselves.
Republicans certainly will make mo objec
