The Republican party cast 400 7o1 votes In
the State. Deducting the 1855 votes cast In
tho counties named above from the total num-
Der cast in the State 493. 19) the fact becomes
evident that in the remaining sixteen Congress
districts there were 2SS.235 votes cast. In other
words 2SS. 235 Republican votes were cast In
sixteen Congress districts and only 1855
votes In eighteen districts. A minority OF the
Republican party is thus able. II II desires TO do
30. to nominate a candidate for Chief Judge. as
might have been the this fall IL there had
been any contest over the nomination Of Judge
Wallace.
PLAT~s MAJORITY.
II will be observed also that the major part
of these votes in the Republican State Com
mittee arc cast by the alleged representatives Of
the Republicans Of New-York Brooklyn and
Buffalo and that the organizations selecting
these men are controlled by Senator Plat There
Is no difficulty in understanding. therefore, why
Mr.. Plat defends the corrupt New-York ma
chine and sees no injustice In a minority Of the
Republican party controlling Its State Com
mittee.
It may interest Republicans TO know that the
Democratic party two years ago took the step
of having Its State Committee elected on the
lines Of the fifty Senate districts. and thus Sc
cured a much fairsr representation for its vote
in the central committee OF its organization.

The demolition Of the upper portion Of the

uncertain as to time and cratic as TO manncrs.
1t was not only often quite in error in giving tho

were not intrequentiy caused by pigeons alight-

The others, 243 in number, were COM
promised. The conference report was
adopted by the house July 19 at the con-
clusion of 10 hours continuous debate.
The report was taken up in the senate
July 90 and adopted July "a. The tariff
bill was signed by the president the
same day.
Congress did not devote its attention
entirely to the tariff, though it did sub
ordinate everything else to this one
measure.
Passed Four Appropriation Bills.
The four appropriation bills which
failed on March 4 last in themselves
would have compelled President Nc
Kinley to call congress in extra session
even If the necessity for revision of
the tariff had not existed. Those appro-
priation bills were the sundry civil. the
agricultural, the Indian and general de-
ficiency. These bills were introduced
and passed by the house in the identical
form in which they existed at the time
of their failure Of enactment into law at
the preceding congress, but they were
amended in some important particulars
by the senate. and, when they finally
become laws, contained more or less
new legislation Of interest and iinpor-
tance.
