ton by a Republican
State Senator.

The approaching session of the state
legislature promises to be more than
usually interesting and exciting. Al
though more than six weeks must elapse
before the members are due 10 COM
mence work preparations are being
made for their entertainment at all or
the hotels. Quarters are being secured
by both the senators who hold over and
the newely elected members OF the low
er house. Hardly day goes by with
out number OF the statesmen who are
so soon to commence their biennial
task Of adding to the laws Of the state
making their appearance in the SANITY
city. All of them say that they come to
secure quarters, and nave nothing 10
say about either the senatorial question
or the more exciting speakershlp hght.
The senators are prOverblally shy aud
slow to express their views regarding
the contest for senator. This is pro6-
ably due to the fact that they feel them
selves perfectly free and at liberty to do
exactly as they please. They were
elected two years ago,and the bupcomoe
Davis resolutions passed at the Repu0-
llcan state conventions cut no inquire
with them. How this senatorial contest
is looked at by some Of the Republican
members of the upper house was very
clearly expressed by one of them the
other day.
How do you stand on United States

GLOBE representative.

will better represent the people OF this
state, shall have no hesitation in vOt-

people of this state OH the tertf ques-
ton, and in fact it is my opinion that
two wears hence will find him still
farther away from the people on this
question. The Republicans of Mime
sofa are going back 10 their old position
on the tariff question, to the low tariff
views of Gen. Gordon f. Cole, b.
b. Herbert and others. The result
OF the late election settled this.

that the Republican party Of Minnesota
is reduced to the condition that it has
