stepping sideways.-Dlstressin news
reaches his Washington friends concerning
the Hon. William Alden Smith, of the
Fifth Michigan District. II is reported that
this graceful and verbose statesman is now
kept busy executing lively side step FOR
his party on the Boer question. Mr.. Smith,
it Will be recalled. as one of the very few
Republican members Of the Hose who
raised his voice during the session in behalf
Of the Beers, and it is known that he fire.
quentiy warned his colleagues in the cloak
rooms that the party would suffer severely
in the Congressional elections if ii did not
formally express some sympathy with the
cause OF the Beers. His concern was more
immediate and direct than was that OF sny
other member of the House b. reason OF
the (. ct that there is a large Dutch vote
in his district. The emigration from Hol-
land 10 that part Of Michigan has been
heavier than to any other section OF tie
country during the past ten or IF cen years,
and many hundreds OF Mr.. Smiths constit-
uents are of Dutch birth or descent. 1t is
true that his district ordinarily is over
whelmIgly Republican, his plurality in the
last election beng nearly six tho-sand, but
because Of the large Dutch element in his
constituency he has cause to feel cons der
able alarm at present. II is reported here
that the Dutch are forming Democratic
clubs all over his district, and that near
two thousand of them have been pledged
to vote against him because of his partys
unfriendly attitude toward the struggl ng
Dutch Republics in South Africa, which
England has almost wiped out Of existence.

Most Peculiar situntion.-It is &C

Il
sIdered even by well informed Republicans
that they can elect their State ticket in
Illinois and give the State TO Mckinley
and still lose the Legislature. which means
the defeat OF Senator Cullom and the con-
sequent loss of vote In the Senate. Gov
crnor Tanner is quoted as saying recently
that the Republicans viii have to carry
Illinois by at least seyenty-fye thousand
in order to save the next Legislature In
this peculiar situation there exists a con-
ditiCr which it is difficult clearly TO eX-
plain off-hand. and few people outside of
Illinois understand il. The basis of the
whole thing seems TO rest on a legislative
gerrymander made by the Democrats IN
1890 and certain constitutional provisions
guaranteeing proper representation of the
minority party in the Legislature. The I'LL
nois General Assembly has ffty-one menu
hers in the Senate and 1873 members of the
House. Each Senatorial district contains
three House districts. There is no county
representation as that Is understood in
most of the other States. The Democratic
gerrymander SO massed the Democratic
vote as to make it practically impossible
for the Republicans to carry the Legis-
lature in a general election with a majority
for the electors of less than seventy-fiye
thousand. The Democrats already have an
advantage in the matter OF hold-over Sen
ators and arc absolutely confident OF elect
Ing a majority of the twenty-six mem
hers Of the Senate to be chosen in No
venber. II they Go this they will sweep
into the lower house at Springfield safe
majority also and thus on joint ballet will
control the Legislature. 1t is said that
senator Cullom practically despairs OF his
own case. and that the Republican national
managers. who value the Senate at Wash
ington almost as highly as the Presidency
have determined to make desperate ef
forts TO save the Legislature of Illinois. To
this end It may be necessary first to ar
range a truce befween the warning Tan
ner and Cullom factions. and 1t is said
that as soon as Mr.. Hanna goes to Chi
caso to take charge OF the campaign work
he Will devote himself to bringing about
peace and establishing working arrange
ment between the forces of cuIlom and
Timer.
