The democrats have been madder
than they have ever been since the

have given the republicans a gentle

lican majority in the next House at

butte to the growth and prosperity Of
our state along all industrial and CON-
mercial lines for the past ten years
based on facts and figures taken from
the state records. His speech was
conservative and he said, what the

from political agitation, whereby the
peace and harmony Of the state might
be disturbed, and he looked for even
greater prosperity in the next decade
than in the one just past. New

Senator Noel spoke for an hour, ruR-

sues now before the people, and pay
ing particular attention to the qaes-
tion of denying the negro participa-
tion in the school funds, except such
money as may be paid into the treas
ury by himself.
Senator Noel is a pleasing speaker.
His style, while not ornate, goes d.
rectly to the root Of every proposition
he may take up and his reasoning is
so very clear that his hearers follow
him with leisure. He has made num-
erous friends as result Of his speech,
and the privilege given the voters from
the country districts to meet him.
