DAVIS, The TRADER.
How the Present United States
Senator Bolted His Party
Caucus,
And With Nineteen Votes De-
feated the Choice of the
Republicans.

'My election is assured. The Repuu-
hcan caucus will give me my eertii-
cate"
This was the self-assured manner in
which Senator c. X. Davis referred to
his prospects of securing another six
years lease on his seat in the United
States senate. His dependence i'm
caucus at this time brings up a little
ancient history. relating to senatorial
contest in this state upon time when
the decree of caucus, fairly and honor
ABLY conducted, failed to assure the
election of the winner, although the Re-
publican majority in the legislature
over all forms OF opposition was almost
double what it will be in the legislature
which will meet in this city six weeks
later.
Senator Davis has reason to remem-
Der the senatorial caucus of January,
1875, because he, although the governor
of the state elected by the Republicans.
bolted the Republican caucus and with
handful OF Republicans, after a strug-
gle lasting over seven weeks, effected
the defeat OF the regular nominee of his
party. Hon. Alexander Ramsey, prob
ably the best and ablest Republican
ever sent to the United States senate by
this state. The story OF that struggle
and the Infamous manner in which Gov.
Davis attempted to defeat the will of
his party is interesting at this time,
partly because MIR. DAVIS is at present
passing as a stalwart of the stalwarts,
aud partly because it furnishes the
cause that forced his retirement from
politics at the end of one term as gov
ernOr, while the inyariable rule has
been to give two terms to the Republic
cans elected to that Office.
When Cushman X. Davis went out of
the state capitol in January, 1876, after
serving his one term as governor, he
was considered dead duck" in Min
neSota politics, and such he would be at
the present time in any of the older
states where party discipline Is stronger.
The great increase in population and
the constant change between 1873 and
1887 made the resurrection of G.. X.
Davis possible. the story of that fight
is interesting whenever told, but it is
doubly so as found in the files of the
Pioneer Press. TO begin the story prop
erly, the classification politically of the
members OF the legislature Of 1879 is
necessary. 1t follows from the Press Of
Jan. e, 1875:
Accepting this classification, and CIV
ing to the opposition all the Independ-
ent Republicans, we have the follow

conclusion the press committee stated
that the meeting appointed a

submit is that the Old employees
be taken back and former wages paid
them. If the Carnegie company accepts
the strike will be declared off. Iii it re-

that a meeting with the officials will be
held tomorrow or Friday, and on Friday
afternoon the men will meet to hear the

A gain of two more would nominate
Senator Ramsey, ana the opposition,
seeing this, demanded recess. The
Ramsey men, seeing that they had
things i'm their own hands, and desiring
to keep peace in the family, agreed to
the recess, and the matter went over
until the next evening, when all but
four of the Davis men remained away
from the caucus. SlXty-eight Of the
eighty three Republican members OF
the two houses, however, were pres

Senator Ramsey had exhausted all the
dilatory tactics possible, denomination
of Senator Ramsey was made. forty

pubIlcans voting for him. During all
of the preliminary skirmishlng the
Davis men appear to have been cOurting
the large Democratic minority to little
success as was shown later. The Press
gently hinted at this on the morning
after the caucus. The salient points in
the newspaper warning to Davis and
his followers are found in the follow

legislative caucus can honorably or de-

of the tribunal to whose arbitration the
friends of the respective candidates
unanimously agreed TO submit their
claims. There might be some excuse
for such action if it could be reasonably
alleged that the candidate chosen was
an unfit, dishonest or incompetent man;
but considering that no man alleges any
objection to the candidate himself, and
that, on the contrary, his special and
superior fitness for the Office is uniyer-
sally conceded even by his opponents by
reason of his ripe judgment, his eXpe-
rience in public affairs, his unstained in
tegrity, and MS unequalled efficiency as
a public servant, there remains nowhere
an inch of ground on which to build

The Press editorial, narrative Of the
second session of the caucus, published
Jan. 16, 1875, tells the whole story in a
few short sentences. Here it is:

lnconstant, the liquor power within
the ranks of both is SO powerful as tc
control them. The condition of any
prohibltery legislation enacted by
either of them Is that of innocuous
dissuetude, its tenure subject to the
viii of the rum element of the party,
be that element majority or min
ority. The republican party enacted
prohibition in Iowa, everybody knows
the law is doomed, and will be re-
pealed by the same party; while in
Kansas the 6. o, p. do not make a be-
lief IN the prohibitory laws a party
test, have, as party, disclaimed re-
sponsfbility for it, and have already
abandoned prohibition as a party
tenet.
When the war of the union was be-
gun the abolition of slavery was not
the object of the war, but it was the
certain result. The destruction OF
the republican or any other party is
not the object of the prohibition party.
1t may be the result. If its appeals to
the consciences of voters in other par
ties cause them to join the ranks of a
party devoted to the destruction OF
the most gigantic evil of all ages, a
party which makes active. eternal
warfare on the liquor traffic test OF
party fealty, one which does not ask
or expect the political support of the
vicious rum power. party which, if
given power, will not only enact, but
enforce prohibition, then the result
will be the disintegration and death
of that party. however powerful in

The Industrial Legion of the
United States.

An organization styled ''The Indus
trial Legion of the United States
was formed at Memphis last week by
prominent leaders of the Peoples
party, who are also prominent.in the
Farmers Alliance, the object of which
is to carry out politically the meas
ures embodied IN the declaration of
principles of the Omaha platform for
the Peoples party, together with free
speech, free ballot and fair count.
The Industrial Legion Is to consist
of three classes, the first of male mem
bers over twenty-one years Of age, in
tended to group together as voters,
and will be regarded as the senior
class; the second will be the junior
class and consist of male members
under twenty-one and over fourteen
years of age, who will be educated
and trained to become voters of the
Peoples party, and the third class
will be known as the Women's Aid
Corps, which is intended as an auxiI-
larry to the senior legion.
The legion is modelled much after
the Grand Army and partakes of a
secret organization character, while
the meetings may be secret or open
at the option of the members. The
founders of the legion are prominent
leaders of the seven great industrial
organizations comprised in the Peo-
pies party, together with the fore
most Peoples party leaders. The or
ganization of the Industrial Legion
of the United States was perfected by
the election of the following officers
Paul Vandervoort, commander-in-
chief; Hon. Frank Burkitt of Missis-
sippi, vice commander-in-chief; j. R.
Turner, adjutant general; g. f.
Washburn of Massachusetts, quarter
master general; Congressman T. E.
Watson, national recruiting officer; j.
T. Willis of Kansas, national recruit
ing officer of the western division; w.
S. Morgan, national sentinel; execu-
tive council: Hon. H. E. Taubeneck,
Illinois; Hon. Marion Cannon, con-
gressman-elect of California; Hon.
Marion Butler, Hon j. II. DAVIS OF
Texas; L. e. Dean, New York; ]. F.
Willis, Kansas. These, together
with the four highest officers, will
constitute the council.
OF the officers of the Women's Aid
Corps two were elected by this body
as provisional officers to organize that
department, being Mrs. Anna l.
Diggs of Washington, D. c., and Mrs
Mary Todd of Michigan.
