republican on the other commission.
The superintendent bill which was
passed was a gerrymander without
any attempt at concealment. The
strong pop counties were given in
creased representations and the strong
republican ounties cut. After the
committee had reported it's bill the
only amendment allowed was one
presented by Jones of Day, who
amended il to cut Marshall from
Roberts and attach it to Day as a
senatorial district, and give the
new district two senators. The pop
majority saw the benefit of such an
amendment and pushed it through,
after which they moved the previous
question to shut off the roasts which
the republicans were pouring into
them, and which they could not
answer. BY this they succeeded In
shutting off debate, but could not
prevent the republicans from sex
planning their votes" which explana-
tons we're as hot as they knew how
IN make them. The bill was SO rank
that the speaker was ashamed of it
and cast his vote in so low a tone
that members of the house demanded
to know whether he had voted, and
if so how.
While the new administration
came in under a pledge of economy
it will cost the state over a million
dollars for the two years. 1t will GO
down in history as the first million
dollar Legislature of the state.
The general appropriation bill car
ries nearly 100000, or just about
500, 900 more than that of two years
ago, and there were more special
appropriations passed than in any
past Legislature. The total appro-
~priations, coupled with the regular
Legislative expense, will III to over
a million.
1t will be a Legislative session
which will long be remembered by
the people of the state. SAT.

The comments of republican news
papers on the shortcomings of the
late lamented pop Legislature are
referred to by the organs of that
party as "villainous misrepresenta-
tion," "unjustifable criticism" etc.,
but how do these worthy journals
propose to dispose of the evidences
of incompetency and corruption fur
nished from undoubted populist
sources? The ~ire-eating senator
from Minnehaha comfy, Lasse
Bothum, of boycott fame, and of
whose populism there can be no
question, declares in a communities
ton to q local paper, al shall not
deny that IS l write these lines there
exists doubt in my bosom as to
whether the peoples party or the
principles we are working for will
ever become dominant. VIZ have
shown ourselves, not only as individ-
uals, but as a party, to be worship
ers of Mammon and men without
principle" Dave Morgan, populist
senator from McCook county, meet
ing Governor Lee, Enthusiastically
remarked, "vou are not big enough
to be governor of South Dakota.
You may sell goods and you may
buy and sell hogs, but that is all you
do know, and | predict you will go
one with your political vitals cut
out" Speaker John Colvin remark
ed at the close OF the session "that if
anything is calculated to disgust a
mar with politics it was this session
CT the legislature A free silver
republican said in a private CONVEX
s%ation, 81 was a republican from 1861
up to two years ago, and | never
so much corruption in all that time
as / have seen in the last twenty
four hours" Populist Senator Kel-
Ter in his scathing speech in the
senate said, "Don't fatter yourselves
that because you ere sent here to
legislate that you can override the
will of your constituents and place
in jeopardy the institutions of our
state merely that the hungry wolves
of Office seekers may be satiated.
The trouP of starved applicants for
Office is what disgusts me-" Scores
more of disguised populists might
be quoted in the same vein, while q
number of populist papers have re-
nounced allegiance to the populist
party as now controlled. The fact
OF the matter is the so-called party
of purity and reform has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting.

IT rs evident that the republican
committee of this State made great
mistake when they refused to comply
with the demand of the vast majority
of their party for State convention.
They have not only provoked revolt
at home, but have brought down
upon themselves the reproach OF their
party, in it's natural habitat, the NORTH.
One of the organs of the latter, speak
ing of their action, says sit is miser-
able exhibition of mercenary politics,
and we invite the attention of the Vir-
ginia republicans to what has just been
done in Maryland, where the people
arose and knocked out officeseeking
bossism so completely that the bosses
are vet to find out what struck them"
As Mr.. John Wise says Southern re-
publicans are apostates for the price OF
their apostacy," where there is no price
for it, apostacy cannot be strong enough
to be effective, and in Virginia all the

GOV. o'FERRALL BOLTS AGAIN

Governor Chas. I. O'Ferrall, who
last fall declined to support the nomi-
nees and platform of the Chicago con-
vention. has bolted again. In an inter
view yesterday he announced his deter
mination not to support, under present
conditions, the democratic State ticket
recently nominated at the Roanoke
convention, and gave his reasons for
reaching this decision. He oriticises
the conduct of the leaders at that con-
vention for endorsing the Chicago plat
form, and also pays his respects to the
free silver democrats who have made
him target for abuse, claiming that
they have taken advantage of his posi-.
ton, knowing that he could not answer
them, and charging them with attempt
ing to seek notoriety through hurting
epithets at him. He reiterates his
charge that Bryan had made every ar
rangement to enter the State in 1893
and make speeches in behalf OF the
populist who was running for governor
against him and gives additional evil
dence to substantiate his assertion. He
speaks of Senator Daniel as having pre-
sented in the Senate resolution en-
dorsing Cleveland's action regarding
the Chicago strike, and yet with having
voted In the Chicago convention de-
nouncing Cleveland for the very act
which the Senator had previously COM
mended. Governor O'Ferrall also de-
tends his course in ordering out the
military to prevent lynchings, and calls
attention to the fact that although
there we're sixty-two lynchings in the
State from 1880 to 1874. there have only
been two during his administration. He
says that he has no apologies or regrets
for his course 10 politics, and intimates
that if Bryan is renominated on another
Chicago platform, Virginia may 90 re-
publican in 1900.
