these two able opponents Of Democracy is
due 10 the fact that they are both stoutly
contending for an isthmian ship canal in
Central America. to be constructed and
controlled by this Government without Itf-
ercnce to the wishes OF any other nation.
The Southern Pacihc msTuate ~ Is said.
IS ready 10 spend hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars against Senators Morgan and Chill
ton. The converse Of the proposition is
that he will spend this money for the
election Of Governor Johnston in Alabama
TO succeed Senator Morgan, and for the
Hon. j W. Bailey OF Texas 20 succeed
Senator Chiffon. Il is conceded that Hun
tinEtOus active antagonism is a dangerous
factor in the politics Of the States named
and that MessrE. Morgan and Chiffon have
. hard fights ahead. Whether or not Messrs.
Johnston and Bailey are opposed to the
1 isthmian canal is not known. tbOy gh the
fact that Mr.. Huntington is supporting
the candidacy of each seems plainly 20 in
dictate that he knows what TO expect OF
them should he succeed in elevating them
