When leaders of a great party are flying at each others throats you cannot expect harmony in the rank and file. With harmony and good feeling prevailing through- out the party and solid front pre sented to the enemy there can be no question of our success at the Presi dential election two years hence. We will learn wisdom by experience and reverse the results of 184. In Bates county the party is unit- ed and harmonious and won a grand victory. Considering the contagious craze which swept over the county, democrats have cause for congratu lation.

Mr. Pullman’s bhaudsome gift of $250,000 to the Republican campaign committee of Illinois had the desir effect. Now keep your eye on Mr, Pullman, he must be paid back.

If there had been any check they would not bave done so. In the same way the Democrats went to an extreme in this Congress. “There will possibly be an effort to pass the smaller tariff bills at the short session, but that would raise great opposition, and I believe will be futile. That will probably be the last of the tariff agitation for a time. But one of tbe most interest- ing things to which I look forward is the friction that 1s bound to come between Mr. Cleveland and his party in Congress for the balance of his term. There has been internal dis cord in the party, and I can say truthfully that never in my Congres | sional experience have I seen such | differences between the two Houses | of Congress as when the Democrats | have been in control of both.
