THE POLITICAL ARENA.

| 1t may be taken as an indisputable fact
that when the Republican politicians and
their flute" begin to worry about dissen-
sions in the Democratic ranks this worri-
nent is the result of an intense desire on
their part to forget the dissensions that
are making their political existence a
veritable nightmare from which they
would escape with the utmost thankful
ness. Just at present their case is par
ticularly hard. 1t is Well understood that
with the final adjournment of the consti-
tutlonal convention politics will inmed-
lately become warm ana the chances. are

Under these circumstances the Tribune
is in bad humor with the other senatorial
candidate. The kickers say it would like
to turn loose on Colonel Trumbo if it
only dared. However it has seen light

It did great deal to burst the sena-
