The election OF Wilson to the : u
aAe has made combination feasible
that would have been regarded a I'M
reasonable and quite impossible had il
not h,cn for that accidental result.
King county, support oil Ankeny VA,
due to the feud against Turner which
had been intensified by that gentle
mans manipulation of the state con
vontion against the goidbugs Of his
party on this side .! the mountains
IN understanding had been arrived at
that Ankeny should withdraw and a
compromise candidate be selected, but
the stipulations failed, and when the
letter OF withdrawal was submitted
twelve hours later than WAS antici-
pated, the opposition had concluded
to support Wilson, simply by one oil
tho>c impulsive determinations that
surprise those who win by it as much
as those who lose. 1t was the neces
sity for cancellation though mutual
concessions that has rendered the
present deal possible, and it was hast.
ened by the feeling Of magnamity
which the victor feels for the van
pushed, in the flush of victory, as well
as the state Of helplessness which at
tends the relapse of those suffering
from singing defeat.
II Wilson's election, which was re-
garded primarily as joke, and which
at intervals seemed to be destitute OF
3 giimmer OF success, results in heal.
ing up the wounds due to factiona
hatred, it must be regarded as g
blessing to the party which has been
threatened by the most violent symp
toms OF internal disruption. 1t is
little short OF a miracle that the party
hulk should be driven to peaceful
waters over breakers of such gigantic
height.
1t is notable fact, however, thai
the best laid schemes often fail, espe.
cially when subjected to the mutation,
OF time for development. 1t is moi
always that goods" can be delivered
under the most carefully drawn con
tract, when the time for fulfillment is
extended over period that involves
innumerable changes in conditions
The Senatorial toga hanging at q
distance that makes it look like an
object seen through the little end oI
the telescope cannot be a very en-.
chanting object to its covetous pos.
SCISSOR. The Executive chair that sits
SO far in the background as to be be-
yond the ardent gaze of its would-be
possessor, is..not, likely to arouse any
anticipations that will make the gen.
tleman in line OF promotion swallow
the nauseous doses that will be pre-.
scribed by party fealty in crossing the
deep chasm.
Still the Republican seriously an
nounces this programme as a part oil
the political history of the future
and there are doubtless dupes sc
blinded by party zeal that they accep,
it as matter that is settled beyond
cavil.
