DUBOIS'S DEFEAT
Senator Duboiss defeat may bring about
a new party alignment in the western
silver States. There is some talk among
the Democratic leaders to the effect that
Senator Buffers bad faith towards Du-
bos, if sustained by the Populist organi-
zation, will end the Democratic-Populist
fusion In the silver States. Silver Repub-
leans here condemn Butler. and openly
assert that his treachery defeated Dubois.
They are not disposed to continue their
ahiliation with him. They distrust his
sincerity for silver and now believe that
he IS Only using lDe ISSUE ~ tlibci ets's e'iAA
weaken the Democratic party. Some OF
the Democratic leaders share this opinion
but the truth will come out soon. IL Is
understood that Butler and other POpulist
senators will 80 into the Democratic eau
Gus and cooperate with the Democrats In
the reorganization of the Senate after
March 4th. II is also asserted that they
will act with the Democrats on the tarin
question, and with this understanding,
there is an avowed purpose on the part
Of the Democratic leaders TO open the eau
Gus doors to the Populists. Democrats in
sist that the silver issue must be fought
inside the Democratic party, and that
Butler and company must fight under the
Democratic banner. and not as an ally,
In the next campaign.

PERSONAL NOTES.
Judge James b. Sener, who attended the
banquet given at Albany, n. Y. to Sena-
tor-eect Platt, says that it was a most
ENJOYABLE affair; that there were LOCO
diners. and that the guests of honor
numbered only thirty-two. including
Senator Platt, and President Colvin, the
toast-master The Judge saw and heard
Chauncey Depew, the great New York
post-prandial speaker but the orator OF
the occasion was Governor Black, of
New York. Platt makes no pretence to
oratory. Governor Blacks speech. said
Judge Senior, was the diamond among the
gems of the evening. The hall was mag
nidcently decorated, and the galleries
were filed with ladies', who enjoyed the
music. the conversation, and the speeches
II seems to be simply marvel what
an absolute hold Platt has on the young
Republicans in New York, who largely
predominated at the feast. There were
scarcely any but young men there. Nir-
ginia was especially recognized, as among
the thirty-two guests OF honor there
we're Colonel II. Deb. Clay, OF Newport
News and himself. Among those who
were guests of honor. but did not speak
were ex-senator Hscock and eX-Leuten-
ant-Governor Woodruff of New York.
