Up to last Thursday not a speech had
been made in the House-barrDg nomin-
ating speeches in joint assembly-and to
date, with three weeks of the session in the
past not speech has been made iu that
body with the exception of running COM
mittee interrogation in one instance and
two or three very brief statements OF ex-
PLANTATION. Three weeks OF legislation, and
not yet prearranRed and preconceived set
speechl believe this smashes all previous
legislative records in this respect. ID view
OF this fact, 1t may be considered well set
tied that the House is not talking body.
l am aware that this assumption may be
summarily smashed in the near future, but
the people certainly have excellent reasons
Tor hope On the other hand, the House
has already sufficiently demonstrated the
fact that it is strong working body. De-
spite the decidedly unfavOrabe conditions
for committee work during the past two
weeks the committees appear to have ac-
Complshed much and today their tables are
well cleared up. Bills have been promptly
reported, and notwithstanding the contin.
ned Interruptions of the past fortnight,
most satisfactory progress has been made.
In the matter of progress, the same can also
well be said Of the Senate. That body,
however, can talk, and evidently includes
nearly all the orators OF the General As
sembly. Visitors in the Senate can hear at
any time all the oratory which they can In
reason ask for. Nearly every Senator is
talker, and some of them are so finely set
on hair trigger that they go off at the
slightest jar, even he entrance of lady
with loud hat frequently causes an explo-
sion. Therefore, what the visitor misses in
the House he can find in the Senate, and
the average is maintained But as long as
the Senate works as we'll as talks, no one
can properly TAX exceptions.

The result of last Tuesdays election
was great victory for the Republi-
can party throughout the country.
The next electoral college will give an
increased majority to VIM. Mckinley
for president and Theodore Roosevelt
for vice-president of the United
States.
The vote, not counting the vote of
Kentucky which is claimed by both
parties, will be:
Mckinley and Roosevelt . 5. 289
Bryan and Stevenson ... 145
This would be eighteen more votes
than Mckinley and Hobart received
in 1896. If republican hopes of sue
cess in Kentucky are fulfilled, this
number will be increased to thirty
one or majority in the electoral col
lege for Mckinley and Roosevelt of
1877, more than double the vote for
Bryan and Stevenson.
Outside of the South the only states
carried by Bryan are Colorado, Mon
tana, Nevada and Utah, the states
that lead in silver production, all of
which show great democratic losses.
President Mckinley will be support
ed by an increased republican major
ity in congress. The senate will
probably stand: Republicans 80, Dem
ocrats 25, Independents II. The
house of representatives will proba-
bly, contain: Republicans 1877, Dem
ocrats Isl, Independents 8.
Latest official returns indicate that
McKinley's plurality in Wisconsin
will be 100, 1863 and La Follette's
1913, 1868.
Wisconsin elects ten Republican
