THE NEXT HOUSE.
A Republican Thinks the PODulists

A Republican Thinks the POpulists
Will Hold the Balance of Power.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. - Harry Ii.
Smith, eX-journal clerk of the house of
representatives, has prepared an elab-
crate estimate of the status of the Fifty
third congress. Mr.. Smith concludes
that the margin between the two parties
is small, but is of the opinion that the
balance of power will be held by the op-
position, made up of Farmers Alliance,
PopuliSt and independent members. In
table arranged by states Mr.. Smith
places the number of Republicans at
100, Democrats at l66 and opposition at
80. There will be large increase, he
thinks. of Alliance congressman from
the South, which will be loss to the
Democrats, while in the Northern and
Western states the Republicans will re-
gain most of their losses of last year.
''Under the apportionment act of Feb.
Z. 1891, the next house will consist of
356 members, an increase over the pres
ent membership 1922 of "a members,
which increase is divided geograph-
ically as follows: Alabama. Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas,
Massachusetts. Michigan, Missouri, New
Jersey, Oregon. Washington and Wis
conSin. one each; Illinois, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania and Texas, two each. and
Nebraska, three members: or eighteen
to Northern and six to Southern states.
That the Republicans are the gamers by
this apportiOnment will be readily seen.

SIOUX FALLS, Oct. 27.-As election
day approaches the political situation in
South Dakota becomes more and more
Interesting. And if there is one thing
more than another that amuses the dis
interested Onlooker, it is the herculean
struggle being made by the e. o. y. to
save the sinking ship. When the cam
palgn first opened there was nothing
but smiles on the faces of the leading
Republicans, but it gradually dawned
upon them that everything was not as
smooth as formerly, and they made up
their minds that a general hustle was
necessary. And to say that they are
hustling all over the state is drawing it
mildly. To tell the truth the Republic
ans realize the fact that their chances
for pulling through anything on the
state and national ticket is very Slight,
but to accomplish this they are per-
fectly willing to slaughter anything on
any of the local tickets. But even that
will not save them. The die is cast.
The handwriting is on the wall The
Republican party in South Dakota has
run its race.
For long time the Republicans had
nothing to howl about but fusion, but
as that failed to materialiZe something
new had to be found. Their latest bug
abOo is that the Democrats are going
to vote the Independent electoral ticket
for the purpose of taking the state away
from Harrison" OF course they are.
and why not? A prominent Independ-
ent in this city few days ago gave out
the Information that they expected to
have at least 10000 majority west of the
Missouri river. II they have one-half
that majority they are sure to carry the
state, for there are at least 10000 Demo-
Gratis east of the river who will vote the
Independent electoral ticket. The Re-
publicans recognize this state of affairs,
and they are doing everything in their
power to prevent Democrats voting for
Weaver electors.

PORTLAND, Ind, Oct. 27.-This city
has today been the scene of the great

This continued all forenoon, and at 12

through the business portion of the

he said, without Indiana, and we do
not want to elect Il president without
the vote of the Peoples party, for the
same grievances that make that party

His remarks were almost entirely de-
voted to the tariff and directed to the
Peoples party and those Republicans
who were little cool. The tariff he
considers the paramount question of the
campaign, and for an hour and a half
he talked on it. Campbell said that in the
time of Washington the tariff was X

Mckinley eight times greater than
Washington. The theory Of protection

ernor, has been perverted by the Re-

said he did not know anything about.
Toward the conclusion of his speech
Mr. Hill devoted his attention to pol

so. He said that one reason why the
farmers were not more prosperous than

A Leading North Dakota Repub-

Special to the Globe
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Oct. 27.-A
large meeting was held here last night.
1t was addressed by A. &. johnson,
one of the most prominent businessmen
of the Red River valley, He is prop
rietcr of the Minneapolis store in this
city, which is the largest retail establish
ment in North Dakota. He has always
Deen Republican and one OF the heav-
lest contributors to Republican CAM
paign funds. He has been solicited by
every leading Republican politician in
this state to take the stump for that
party. but he has steadily refused all
oyertures. He is man of wide infOrma-
tIon. and after weighing the matter for
some three months he came out last
night for the people against the pluto
Gratis.
He gives his reasons as follows: II
live in the ked river valley. l have
large business interests here. am
dependent for trade upon the farmer
and producer, and if the Minneapolis
Elevator Trust takes 40 or so per cent
OF our wheat crop every year it is just
that much of our circulating medium
Withdrawn from trade and taken away
from every substantial business inter
est of our state. l can no longer vote
with the Republican party, as it is the
party of the few, whose interests are
against the many"
This action of Mr.. johnson will be fol-
lowed by hundreds of other business
men now that the ice is broken. The
professional and business men of the
Red river valley are in line with the
farmers of the state in their efforts to
secure an open market and fair price
for our staple product-the only hard
wheat in the world--and the Minneapo-
lis elevator trust can no longer hold its
deadly grip upon North Dakota, not
even by $4,000 contributions.
Judge Standish also addressed the
meeting, and received much applause.
The people are in earnest in North Da-
kota this year.

BLAINE GIVES 1T Up.
Harrison Is Certain to Be Beaten
This Fall

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-James G.
Blaine thinks Harrison is defeated
man and that Grover Cleveland will he
the next president of the United States
This is what he said to friend this
evening. Few men will question the
political judgment of the pfumed
knight, no matter In what else they may
gainsay him. He has held the proud
position of the most popular man in his
party for years, and has beer able to
hold it only through his ability as pol
itician. He taught the public to
better than Mr.. Blaine himself that
the idol of the Republican party is not
the Blaine of today. Mr.. Blaine said
also New York was certain to give its
electoral vote to Cleveland and that the
tide i'll Indiana, the presidents native
state. had already set in strongly against
the pres: delt.
Some may say the wish to see M.
Harrison defeated is father to the
thought with MIR. Blaine, and that the
latter would die happy if he could see
his successful rival for the Republican
nomination go out of the White house on
the 4th of iiext March,. but, notwith-
standing all this. Mr.. Blaine's judg-
ment at this time is Of more value than
ever before. He has taken no hand
whatever i'll the campaign, and will take
none. Instead, he has devoted his time
to watching the drift of public senti-
ment. He is a man who thinks too
much Of his political Judgment to risk
an opinion unless he believed he had
good reasons for it. His opinion is pc
culiarly significant, too. at this time,
because it revives the suspicion in the
N nf
friends that the Blaine crowd would
not give the Republican ticket their
sincere support, and that many of them
would either stay away from the polls
on election day or vote the Democratic
ticket. 1t will matter little which course
they pursue. as either-will prove fatal
to the Republican cause.

Colorado Democratic Electors
Withdrawn

DENVER, Oct. 27.-The resignation of
the Cleveland Democratic electors was
filed with the secretary of state today.
Although it has been for several days
generally understood that the Cleveland
electors were to be withdrawn, no of
fetal action was taken until the
meeting last night. 1t is also un-
derstood at the present time that
John N. Taylor's resignation as
congressional nominee will be forthcom-
ing before election. The Arapahoe
county legislative and senatorial ticket
will also be Withdrawn, as will also a
portion of the state ticket, but Mr. Maui
pin. gubernatorial nominee, will remain
in the race. which will insure the elec-
ton Of Judge Helm, and probably the
entire state Republican ticket.
A. S. Whitaker, a leading Democrat
OF this city, expressed his approval of
the course the straight Democracy was
taking in withdrawing Cleveland cleo
tors. '.All we want" be said, "is to
keep Harrison from carrying the state.

ance such as Senator Chandler de-
