UNITED STATES SENATOR.

1t is already evident that Senator
Washburn will not have a walkover in
his contest for reelection. The names
of S. G. CONS stock, of Moorhead; o. D..
Kinney, of Duluth; John Lind, of
New Ulm; j. A. Tawney, of Winona,
and D. f. Morgan, of Minneapolis, are
already added to the list of prospect

from the twin cities. 1t is in the
power of the country to capture one Of
the seats in the senate. If the coun-
try members can unite Washburn will
be retired. The question is, can they
unite? The country is entitled to a
senator and by right should have one.
Will it assert it's rights or supinely
submit to the dictation of the cities,
the corporations and the plutocrats?
The scenes attending the last cleo

DENVER BANK CLEARlNGS

The REPRESENTATIVE last week re-
ferrcd to the false report sent out on
Friday preceding election by the AS
ISOLATED Press regarding the bank
clearings of Denver. On Friday last,
week after the attention of the AS
ISOLATED Press had been called to the
matter. it sent out this correction:
In the table of bank clearances compiled
by Bradstreet last week, the clearings for
the city of Denver. were reported as show
ing DEF reasc of 30 per cent compared with
the same week the preceding year. As a
matter OF fact. the clear;rgs showed an n :
crease OF - per cent compared with Il year
ago. The error is reportt d as being ue to
the transmission OF miSleadi L 9 totals from
Denver.
The ssociated Press knew on Sat
urday preceding election what the
facts in the case were, but it delayed
making any correction until after cleo
ton. The fact is the misleading re-
port was sent out purposely to inhu.
cnce the election. TO such depths of
infamy do corporations descend.

FREE SILVER POSSIBLE.

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Times, Nov. T. writes as fol-
lows:
Those who are near him David B.
HilD and who know his inveterate ma
ture and his fad for war, neclare that
his return to the senate in Dece der
will be the signal for an assault on the
administration. The PopuliSts, with
PETER, Allen, Kyle. Stewart, Jones,
Tillman and probably Irby, will easily
hold the balance of senate power and
have strength to spare. Hill is ex-
pected to be in close relations with all
of these for the purpose of forging
trouble for Cleveland Democrats, and
Republicans here agree that the out
come makes the passage of free coin
of silver measure almost certain in
the next session. They argue that
Reed will be in the next Congress and
speaker of the house, and that his ef-
forts will be of a personal, partisan
sort. He will mold congressional ac-
tion with the aid of his adherents,
such as Dubois and Lodge in the sem
ate, SO as to reduce tariff agitation to
a minimum on the plea that what
trade conditions most need is rest.
Finance, the silver question, will be
promoted to take it's place as the su-
preme issue. This certainty of Reed
as speaker, as well as his anxiety
for new and further position on sill
yer for his party for the double reason
Of turning down Mckinley and getting
his party into popular ways will in
spire silver action on the part of Dem
Ocrats in the next session. They will
cut in ahead Of Reed and occupy all
proper silver ground before him. Thus
argue the philosophers in both Demo
cratic and Republican centers; they
look for the passage of free silver bill
by house and senate in the next SEES
sion. OF course Cleveland will veto
it; that is understood, but the party
in Congress will attain record,
which is what these Democrats who
most have legislative matters in hand
are after

NOT DISCOURAGED,

The REPRESENTATIVE is pleased to
see that tine papers and leaders of the
Peoples party are by no means dis
couraged by the reports Of the recent
elections. This is as it should be.
There is no reason why the party
should be discouraged, but every rea-
son why it should be encouraged and
look forward to the future in full con-
iidcnce that its ultimate triumph can
not long be delayed.
Senator PETER. in recent interview
estimates the total vote cast by the
Peoples party in the late election at
nearly 100000. This is. indeed, a
wonderful growth. 1t shows that the
party is rapidly forging ahead in
strength. Nothing like this gain has
been shown in the political history of
the United States. 1t is the party of
the people and will win.

HOW IT WORKS.

Virginia legislature, propose to elect
Steve Elkins United States senator
Elkins is a plutccratic railway and
mine owner. He was mixed up in the
star route frauds. but he is typical
Republican just the same, and, nc
doubt, will secure seat in the million

pose to elect John NJ. Thurston. attor

In Minnesota they will elect w. D

crat of the purest water.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. S.-Ala-
bama has broken the solid south. M.
W. Howard, Populist, is elected to
congress from the Seventh Alabama
district. W. H. benson, the present
congressman and Democratic nominee
for reelection, telegraphed from Gads-
den, his home last night: II am de-
featid." benson has been unfriendly
to the national administration and c.
Borland's hackers in this state, after
Densons nomination by the Democrats
of the Seventh district, made a relent-
less fight to have him taken down,
charging party perfidy. They claimed
he leaned too much to the PopuliSts.
The tight against him has continued
to the end, with the effect that the
administration Democrats, in failing
to vote for benson, added strength
to Howard, who had the united sun
port of the Republicans and the Popu-
lists.
Returns to day do not change the
results announced last nightin the 9th

election of Democrats in the other
eight Alabama districts. There will,
it is stated here. be five contest cases
carried before congress from Alabama
Gardner, Republican. in the Second;
Robinson, Populist. in the Third: Aid
rich, Reg publican. in the Fourth; Good
win, Populist, in the Fifth. and Aid
rich, Republican, in the Ninth. In
most of these districts the vote is I'M
comfortably close, and the combined
opposition to democracy is inclined to
believe the next congress can be per-
suaded that frauds have been commit
ted in some of Alahama's districts.
