Now that Judge Cowan is to be tried
on impeachment in the senate, what IS
the matter with letting the senate try
the ease. There is no use dragging poll
ties in it. There is no use trying to
call it stalwart and insurgent fight,
for it is nothing of the kind. The
claims made by certain newspapers that
the Mckenzie machine was taking a
part on the side Of Cowan in the fight

way to Bismarck; that McCumber had
been sent for; that the stalwarts were
