THE REPUBLICAN CAuousEs.

The attendance at the Republican eau
cuses last night was large. Indeed in
several of the wards it was never larger.
Had the night been pleasant. the turnout
would have exceeded, probably, what
was ever seen before at Republican
municipal caucuses. !. In five of the
wards Baxter delegates were elected.
and in two-Wards and 4-Rand dele
gates. This assures the denomination of
Mayor Baxter with practical unanimity.
In Ward 3 there was no choice for alder
men, there being three candidates, and
no one having majority, and in Ward
z there was a tie on alderman. New
caucuses will have to be held in each OF
these wards. In Ward 5 there was no
choice for schoo | committee nor for one
councilman. and anoth or caucus must be
held. Wards 8, 5 and also failed to
nominate the entire council ticket.

Livingston Of Georgia has no longer any
idea Of fighting to the death. He says
he will not leave the Democratic party to
go into the ranks of third party. He
says he believes that the state of Georgia
will send free silver delegation to the
next national Democratic convention,
without regard to the question of one or
two conventions in that state. He says
the Georgia silver men will make fair,
square fight for silver, and if they are
outvoted in the national convention,
they will go home and go to work "
help elect the party ticket. He says the
Georgia Democrats have no idea of
bolting the party platform or the ticket
as some of 1.-THE so-called Democrats in
other states are threatening to do. He
believes, however, that something will
be done to recognize silver at the next
national convention of the Democratic
party, for he knows that there are more
true friends Of silver in the Democratic
party than in the ranks Of the Republi-
cans.

1t would be great mistake that would
cost them dearly in the end for the Re
publicans of the Kentucky legislature to
undertake 80 elect United States Sem
ator by turning out Democratic mem
bers for trivial reasons. AS the Connecti-
out Commercial-Gazett says, However
much the Republicans of the country
and the Republicans of the United States
Senate may desire Hunter to succeed
Blackburn, the party can not afford to
resort to unfair or revolutionary methods.
There is always hereafter in such cases,
and we have never known legislative
body that resorted to unfair methods, es-
pecially when the popular vote is close
in the State, that did not suffer. This is
particularly true of Republicans. There
are great many fair minded people in
both parties, and there are more of these
on the Republican than on the Demo-
cratic side. The people can not be fooled
always or often. In the present case
they can not he fooled even once. Far
better would it be. therefore, to have a
vacant seat in the United States Senate
than to have that seat filled by Re-
publican through methods that will not
bear the closest scrutiny

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE PEOPLE ARE FOR REED.
(Springfeld Union

The Republican State committees of
New York and Ohio have each passed re-
solves indorsing their respective ,favorite
sons, Mckinley and Morton, .and the
managers of the campaigns of each are
loudly boasting that their candidate is
the legitimate legatee of the estate of
Benjamin Harrison. The gongs are be-
ing sounded and she trumpets beat, and
to those close to the respective bands 1t
must sound as if the whole country were
in accord for their candidate. But is it
so? Who is the man who is directing
the House of Representatives.? Who is it
that has engineered measures through
the lower house which il passed by the
Senate ana signed by the President
would rid this country of it's deficit,
would bring back the prosperity of few
years ago? Who is it that stands today
head and shoulders above any of his con-
temporaries? 1t is Thomas B. Reed of
Maine. Who are his followers? Not the
politicians, but the people, and when
the convention is held in ST. Louis. the
people who love and honor him will be
there in force to help nominate him.
If this is a true republic, the peoples
will shall sway the conventions, and we
believe that the will Of the people is that
the man from Maine, the successor of
James G. Blaine. shall be the choice.

The House committee on territories
has voted against favorable report on the
bill for the adm ission of Arizona. The
silver men of course are anxious for it's
admission since 1t will give them two
more votes in the Senate, but the sound
money men look upon the case different
ly. Arizona has as much pop ulation, no
doubt, as many of the territories had
when admitted, but no fgreat injustice
will be done her if she is kept out until
she grows somewhat bigger in the way

FOR A SHORTER WORKING DAY
Votes of the Federation of Labor in
New York to Be Counted.

Chicago, Feb. 29.-At the convention
of the American Federation of Labor
held in New York the executive council
of that body was authorized to select
one or more trades to make a move for
a shorter workday. The privileges at
tached to the labor organizations which
should be first to win demand for a
shorter workday were to have a posi-
tive financial as well as moral value,
and the International Association of
Machinists has been preparing to win
that prestige. Almost two months
since Grand Master Machinist James
O'Connell issued from the grand lodge
a circular, including among others the
following pertinent questions First,
shall we demand an eight-hour day?
second, shall we demand a nine-hour
day? third, shall we demand ten hours
pay in either case? fourth, shall we
make the demand only in cities that are
best prepared? fifth shall we make the
demand ourselves, whether the Amer
lean Federation of Labor select us as
one of the trades or not?
1t is probable that the machinists
have voted aye on the first and two final
propositions. This is the final date set
for the receiving of votes from mem
bers of the organization, and when the
mails close this evening the secretaries
will foot up their records and report
the number of votes cast for each prop
osition.

THE FEELING AT WASHINGTON
No Surprise Expressed at the Demon
strations In Spain.

Washington, March 1.-Intense inter-
est is felt here tonight in the dispatch
showing the demonstratlve feelings ex-
isting in Spain regarding the Cuban
question and the statement that the
government is increasing Its naval
force.
Copies Of the Associated Press dis
patches were shown to public men in
terested in the question. No surprise
was expressed at the demonstra ations
which have occurred; in fact, such were
expected.
The speeches in the senate, extracts
Of which have no doubt been published
in the Spanish papers, have had their
influence on the masses of the people,
and they, impulsive, excited and in
spired with patriotism, have thrown
them into an unfriendly mood against
the United States officials. The whole
matter is regarded here as simply that

government has not In any manner been
responsible.
AS the case now stands nothing has
happened that can not be easily and
readily adjusted by the means always
at the disposal of diplomacy, and that,
too, in a manner that Will leave no
stain upon the honor Of either of the
parties to this affair.
