POLITICAL POINTS. Present indica-
tions are that the Republicans will have
the control of the next United States Sen
ate. Senator Carter of Montana has de-
clareG for Mckinley, and Senator Cannon
of Utah is said to be in the same position.
These are two Republicans who aided in
blocking the tariff bill in the late session
of the Senate. This more recent action
on their part looks very much as if they
would do 50 no longer. 1t would make a
difference of four votes, and the unhand-
some treatment which Senator Dubois of
Idaho, another of the Republican recus-
ants, has had at Democratic Populist
hands, may well cool the ardor Of Repub-
lican seceders in his region. The Boston
Herald, after a review of the situation
says: There need be no surprise if the
supporters of Mckinley fully control the
next Senate ..... 1t has been definitely de
cided that VIM j. Bryan, the Democratic
candidate for president, will visit Arthur
Sewall at Bath on Saturday next and will
speak in that city on Saturday night. On
the arrival of the noon train from Boston
al l ortland Mr.. Bryan will deliver q
speech from the rear platform Of the
private car " hich has been offered him by
the Boston x Maine. He Will then pro
ceed to BATH, deliver 4 speech there in
the evening, remain as MI Sewall' guest
during Sunday and probably return to
Boston Monday...A delegation of com
merclal travellers visited Vice Presidential
Candidate Hobart at Republican head
quarters in New York, Saturday. Mr..
Hobart made short address, in which he
said lie always thought of commercial
travellers as men who had never been
Ai7pnnpl and Iva how aoJ11I M he
buncoed by any platform like the Chicago
platform. There was great cheering as
Mr.. Hobart concluded. Then the mem
bers of the delegation were personally
introduced to candidate Hobart, Senator
Quay and Chairman Manley....S Sec. Car
Isle is going to take the stump. He has
not forgiven or forgotten the way in which
his enemies triumphed over him in the
election of silver delegates to the Chicago
convention. and it is understood that the
president is as anxious as he is to see Ken
lucky redeemed from free silver in NO
vember. MIR. Carlisle S services are much
in demand not only in Kentucky but in
Illinois. Michigan and other western
States, and if he would consent engage
ments would be made for him every night
between now and the end Of the cam
paign...... Representative Strobe OF Ne
braska, who lives in Mr.. Bryan city of
Lincoln, says: The electoral vote of
Nebraska Will surely be cast for Mckinley
and Hobart sound money and protection.
MI Bryan will not carry his own voting
precinct \ recent poll of the precinct
showed that Mckinley and Hobart would
poll 204 votes as against II for Bryan.
The Republicans will carry the district by
at least $500 majority. If the election
had been held one month ago the demo
Gratis would have carried the State by
from 10, 900 to Is, 900 majority. Now IT
is irredeemably lost to Bryan. The cause
of this great change is because great
number of voters of Nebraska have been
carefully studying the financial question
something they have never done before.
They have come to the conclusion that
they want no 53-cent dollars in theirs,
Hence the assurance of Republican sue
cess"
