NOT DISPOSED TO FIGHT.
No Desire on the Part of Senators 10

WASHINGTON. u. c., March "a
The indications at present do not point
TO protracted fight in the Senate over
the reorganization of the elective Of
fcers. If the statements Of some Demo-
cratic Senators can be taken as an index
10 their feelings on the question they will
capitulate without much of a struggle.
There appears not TO be a consuming de-
sire TO enter into any protracted debate
that will prolong the present extra ses-
sion beyond the time when the President
will have notified the Senate that he has
no further communication to make. and
certain well-knOwn Senators have said
that they intended TO leave the city. re-
gardess of whether there was a reOrgani-
zation or not. The Republicans say they

Gratis 10 hold of until the commencement

then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions TO hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the NEW
YOsT, which rises superior TO the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs So or $40 year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 50 a year. And as

plishes this much desired feat.

Charles Francis Adams, of Massachu-

party adopted long platform, the sub
stance of which was opposition to the
eXtention of slavery into new states and
territories. The platform declared
that slavery in the several states in
which it existed depended on the state
laws alone, which could not be repealed
by the federal government. After ex-

the free soil party nominated John II.

Burlington will reach Helena, Montana,
with a short-line connection between
Denver and the Montana capital. The
