Nahrasl,a senatorship.

7 There Is a chance for. a split In the
euEion ranks in Nebraska over the sem
atOrship. There is a wrong impression
abroad about the Democratic triumphs
Colonel Bryan has been achieving in
that state. There never has been a
pembcratic victory there. Whatever
success has been attained has been by
fusion Of the Popullsts with the
Democrats, and to the -Populists more
6han the Democrats does Bryan owe
whatever prestige he has gained by
carrying the elections in Nebraska.
The dght for the senatOrship made
vacant by the death Of Senator Hay
ward Is very bitter. Hitchcock. the edi-
tor OF the Omaha world-Herald, claims
the plum Is due the Democrats. while
the Populists are united on long winded

mako this suppression total by state
enactment Is going too far. In fact
It Is In direct opposition to the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution.
II the southern states eliminate the
colored vote and wnnt To enjoy 'the
blessings Of white supremacy" how
would It do for Congress to eliminate
the representation Of these states In the
house Of representatives? Let the re-
apportlonment under the next census
he made entirely on the basis
OF the white population in
the southern states. as that is
the only population that has voice in

Cookers Conversion.

Now that irnperIous Croker, who pro-
fesses to b. an antl-imperiallst, issued
an trade, before sailing away to foreign
clImes, that all the Tammany congress-
men must consort With the Bryan ele-
ment in Congress. and do whatever they
can to advance the Nebraskan's inter-
ests. it becomes very important ques-
tion what the sound money and expan-
sion members Of the Democratic party
Will do. Croker. for fact, is cordially
hated outside Of his imperial court in
New York City, by the majority Of the
Democrats of the country. They know
that he cares little for the success Of
the party without the pale Of his Inn
perlal domain. SO long as he can con-
troll the patronage of that great hive Of
corruption, New York City, he does not
worry about the appetites of the hungry
horde west OF Hoboken and the Offices
they are clamoring for.
The only thing Croker could accom-
pllsh in the recent election in New York
state was LNe plIILul Triumph hS "SVASN
in the city. His influence in the state
proper was nil. In fact large Republic
can gains were made above Harlem
river. AZ first he was for expansion
and bitterly opposed to the Chicago
platform. Now he Is the opposite, and
he does not say wherefor.
