REPC BLICANS TO ORGANIZE
THE SENATE.

The fact of the Republicans having
control of the next senate Is questioned
by some who think that the Popullsts
will have the balance of power. While
Jones of Neveda and Stewart have de-
clared themselves POpulists and PETER
was elected as Il Populist, they are all
three Republican Populists, and no one
doubts their voting with the Republican
party for organization and on all ques-
tons except silver. There are SO straight
Republicans in the present senate. The
votes of these three senators, which have
been cast right along with the Republi-
cans, have given them an actual strength
of 30 votes. The three senators from
Montana, Wyoming and Washington
and the three from New Jersey, West
Virginia and Kansas will increase this
to 40. The reports from North Carolina
indicate one Republican and one fusion
POpulist from that state. The one Re
publican raises their lumber to 46. and
it is natural assumption that the Pop
ulistS, being elected by the aid of Repub-
licans, will act with them in most mat
tiers, and will be about as closely allied
with the Republicans as is PETER. On
the question of organization, therefore,
the Republicans will be very apt to have
Al votes. While this result is shown by
giving the Republicans certain POpulists,
they are the men who are POpulists only
in name and on account of one issue; men
who cannot act with the Democrats and
who differs more widely from the Popu-
lists, sitting on the other side of the
chamber. than they do from the Repub-
Leans

luck, but his play was of brilliant char
acter and he ran up to 20 before he got
the balls in anything like position. Then
he scored fast and until at II he sent
the white ball around the table. When

way by the famous descriptive writer,
j. w. Buell.
