| Vacancy to be filled.
| Here are fourteen Democrats and six
teen Republicans. with three vacancies in
states now partly represented by Repub-
licans. Rhode Island has already elected
a Republican successor to Mr.. Dixon and
oregon has chosen a Legislature which
will re-elect Mr.. Dolph: Glancing over
the list. not a seat now held by Repub-
lican looks shaky. and on the contrary
there is reason for believing that all the
vacancies will be filled by Republicans,
and that Protectionists, if not Repub-
Leans. are likely to come from Alabama,
New Jersey and West Virginia, with the
possibility of one from Tennessee But
in any event the Senate will be close and
the Populists now there will continue to
receive attention far beyond their merits,
unless they improve by. experience.
Another important lesson OF the hour
is is, harmony: Men who are Republicans
year 1t was the third-partyism and side
issues which gave the country to the
Democracy in 1892 and what fearful
price the people have paid for it. Re
publicans will never join any other party
SO long us the country or the prosperity
of the people are in danger Therefore,
the few who have undertaken to smash
the Republican party in order to absorb
it. should first smash the Democrats the
Populists, the Anarchists. and every
other element which. through combna
ton with the others. is a national men
ace. The people have been brought near
will have little patience with those who
make diversions when all good men
should stand in line. Let all the new
hopes go until we have made freedom,
peace and prosperity secure
A Black Week in the History of the
Democratic Party.
| John Russell Young, the distinguished
Washington correspondent, in writing
from the capital to the Philadelphia Star,
| says that the week in which the Presi-
dents letter was read in the House. and
| the debate that followed in the Senate,
will be known in American history as the
"black week. His ten points against the
| Democracy are as follows:
| 'Never. not even when President John
son fought Congress, have we had such Il
flow of scandal as this now oozing from
Washington. Let us sum it up:
II. The President writes to Mr.. Wilson
Il letter saying in plain words that tariff
REFORM as he called the miserable bust
ness has been sacrificed by the perfdy'
of Democratic senators.
Ill He appeals to Mr.. Wilson to save
his honor as a Democrat in this-tlat
having pledged the country in favor of
! tariff reform, these pledges should be re-
deemed.
Ill. The country is not considered in
these entreates-smply the pledges of
a Democratic leader to his partisans
Nv. Senator German, speaking from
his own knowledge, and summoning other
senators as willing witnesses. AYERS that
the tariff bill denounced by Mr.. Cleveland
as 'perfidy' had been submitted to the
President and approved.

Marshfield and Pullman.
In answer to the senseless charge made
by the Democratic press that Mai. In
ham is the Pullman of Wisconsin. the
Evening Wisconsin prints the following
excellent editorial:
There is not a man in Wisconsin who
has less nonsense about him or who is
NOR more approachable than Maj. Upham.
The Democrats may give him as many
aristocratic titles as they please. but he
will continue to be- as he is now and nc
