upon whom viii devolYe the duty
of choosing United States Senators
For this reason the Republican
National Committee, Joined by the
Republican League, will take q
hand in the campaign, and will
doubtless render efficient and valu.
able service. A gain Of two or three
Republican Senators is a "consum-
nation devoutly to be wished" and
would give increased strength to the
Republican cause, though it is now
in furnishing condition. The
Dingley tariff will prove hummer
and supplemented BY dollar wheat
ought to make everybody but Bryan
