THE SE.NATs.GiAI >ITt ALTON.

The SENATOR; situation is not in any
way simp!itiea by the ehange of front
effected by populists Bray and Matthews
in the joint ballot of Tuesday. Hereto
fore these gentlemen have voted uEdeyi-
atingly for Samuel Mulsilie. the ex-
pressed choice Of the popuiists OF the
, state for L. 5. senator. On Tuesday
they seem to have reached the conclu-
sion that il was impossible 70 elect Mul-
vile or any other populist. and in "a
carefully prepared speech in which he
stated that the popnIists in the legis.a
fure did mol hold The balance of power
which statement by the way was untrue

list he transferred his and Speaker
Matthews allegiance to W. W. Dixon.
In his speech iir. Bray further explained
his change Of front as being the next
best thing for the populist party. after
failure to elect one Of their own party.
His argument here. too. is faulty. as in
aiding the lection of a democratic sen
ator from his state: he utterly destroys
the poweI of his party in the L. S. sen
ate. Ihs election Of either a republican
or a pop Hist from this state would give
control "a that body TO the third part,
a condition which the election of Mr..
Dixon or any other democrat would ut
tcrly destroy. From Mr.. Bray's stand
point it should be his answering duty
to prevent the vacant seat of Montana
from being occupied by a democrat. He
owes this to his party. first last and all
the time. and his too ready abdication of
all claims for a populist senator and his
support of a candidate who will. if elect

populists now elected to that body. is

gentleman of infinite and var

follow that on some succeeding day of
