THE SENATE IS IN A TANGLE
OVER A SECRETARY AND A SER
| GEANT-AT-ARMS.
| This is the form of an advertisement
some of the principal members of the
Republican side of the senate feel like
having printed. While Democrats con-
trolled the senate they saw to it that
all the best places in the employment
of the senate were filled by Democrats,
and for sergeant-at-arms they appoint
| ed Col. Dick Bright, who was a copper
! head during the civil war and saturated
| from keel to mainL-top with the essence
of old-time, Jefferesonian Democracy.
But in spite of his politics, Bright has
made far and away the best officer the
senate has ever had. He is so mighty
comfortable to have around, in fact,
I that the Older senators decided to keep
| him.
But Senator Hanna has lately upset
that plan by saying the party cannot
possibly stand it. A. Republican must
positively be given that place and it's
$4,000 salary. Old, senators said, Every
we'll, produce as good man as Bright
and we will elect him.
That was some weeks ago and Sen
ator Hanna is still looking for his man.
IN PLACE OF GARRISON.
Then there is J. S. GARRISON, once Of
Iowa, and now of New York. He was
placed on the slate for secretary of the
senate at $1,000. It was supposed to be
settled, but senators have come forward
in his case with so much opposition that
his election is in doubt and many SEN
ators would be we'll pleased to have
another candidate of equal ability pre-
sent himself in order that Clarkson
might be gracefully side-tracked.
There are plenty of one-horse men
willing to take these places, but the SEN
ate wants the worth of it's money, and
as soon as two men who meet the criti-
club" present themselves the senate will
be reorganized and the great school of
Democratic subordinates that are still
holding on will be turned adrift.
How do you feel since the last round
UP and your drive from the corral to
the mines, manufactures and farms, of
the "Millionaires' club. the trusts, the
syndicates and monied institutions?
And how do you like being worked for
small pay, compelled to furnish your
own grazing grounds or starve? Which
corral will you enter in 1900? Will you
be driven by the cowboys Of William
Mckinley, astride gold-bespangled
elephant, into the Republican corral, or
will you be driven by William j. Bry-
ans cowboys, astride a silver-be-
spangled donkey, into the Democratic
corral?
Or will you fool your drivers, who
claim to own you, body and soul, and
credited by the Journal to Senator
Stewart:
This is what seems probable just
now, but as once in while herd STAN
pedes and refuses to be driven into the
enclosure, so it may come about that the
voters may absolutely refuse to enter
the funnel. 1 admit that the chance Of
a stampede on their part looks remote
at this juncture. It. isn't often that the
sheep kills the butcher, yet occasionally
we are startled because Of the arrival
of the Unexpectedly 40
Will you leave .theocamps of the AS |
syrfans and the Philistines, leaving the |
gold elephant of that formidable G. o. |
p. proportions, and J the silver ass of !
to graxB without their herds |
on the barren plains of Salt creek, while |
you assert your lost manhood by indors-
ing the initiativeIand referendum plan |
Of the Peoples party and their platform
that the people, not money, I
shall rule?
The money that made the Million
aires club, builds the old party corrals
and forms syndicates and trusts, is an
unequal exchange for your labor and
productions. A cooper cent dollar-1OO
per cent gold and 100 per cent intrinsic
individual gold, selling the
blood and muscle of Il, 000, 900 of their
;attle, old and young, male and female,
every day in the year to satisfy the de-
hands of private gold
s. n. FAIRCHILD.
Were Not Disappointed.
