POLITICAL

This Congressional district now has a
population of 227, s23, or nearly $4,000
more than the new ratio Of 200, 900,
which the next Congress will probably
adopt.
During the late campaign, Hon. John
r. Mitchell of Oregan. made speech
at Salem, that State, October 30 ult.,
which is one of the best we have ever
read and it must have had quite an in
fiuence in carrying Oregon for the Re
publican party. Senator Mitchell was
formerly one of our citizens and many
here retain the warmest friendship and
best wishes for him.
Quay returned from Florida last Sat
urday, and addressed the following
letter to each member elect of the
Legislature:
Dear Sir-In view of the fact that
the last Republican State convention by
resolution insisted that / should be
candidate for United States Senator, you
will probably not consider it imper.ln-
ent il / ask you whether you will sup
port me in case / should be nominated
by a caucus of Republican Senators and
members of the House of Representa-
tives.
AT the end of the last session Quay
had So votes, or 90 less than sufficient
number to elect him, After the cleo
ton he claimed $50 votes and some of
his friends were indiscreet enough to
claim that ne had 157 votes. Two years
ago, after the election, the Quay men
claimed 1855 votes. The question, how
Quay can be defeated, when he gained
30 votes may mislead few. and it is
probably worth answering. We do not
concede Quay gained 80. But suppose
he made them. there is another PROPOSE
tion which they do not account for.
The anti Quayites without counting any
members but those who have publicly
gone on record, made gains Of not less
than 90, which would leave Quay pos
sible net gain of 10, if he was given
everything that was claimed for him.
The last ballot on the senatorship in
1899 showed 96 votes for Quay and 157
against him. His friends now claim
that he has gained 80, which give him
only 1913, just the number necessary to
elect him. In the list of claims they |
have made, however, there are num-
Der that have declared their intention |
to vote against Quay. Not counting
with these the net gain Of 20 which we
made, one can readily see that Quay is |
no nearer an election than he was in
1899. .-Ex |
