Republicans Thwarted In Their Dish oness
The republican party, under the

new states to the union, some of them
having less than the population OF
single congressional districts in this
state.
They were admitted purposely and
solely to confirm the grip of the repub-
lican party upon the senate, SO that no
majority in the house, however large.
could disturb the tariff laws upon
which it depended for its campaign
funds.
