Monday night when the amiable Gus u
Miller was selected "a the standard
bearer for the Democracy In this city,
the little cloud has been gathering force
until the whole party iinds itself in q
state of uncertainty over this one issue.
The fact of TIE matter is that the con-
test for the senatorship was anybody's
until the vote was taken. No one could
be gotten to run and as the few friends
Of Miller stood together aud the opposi-
tion was not deciued, he was chosen by
the narrow margin of 20 TO % votes.
In all probability almost any other
man would have been selected had his
name beeu pushed. There's Frederick

hands down IL we had thought of him
even as late as 7 O'Clock on Monday even

isn't any way to pacify the McNally peo-
