THE COMPLICATED SITUATION IX MICHIGAN— MINNESOTA, NORTH DAKOTA AND WASHINGTON To RE-ELECT THE PRESENT INCUMBENTS—THE OUTLOOK IN WISCONSIN AND MONTANA. Julius Cesar Burrows would look well and do Well in the Senate. He isan abler orator than | John J. Ingalls in one particular. He is as ef- | | fective in argument and always pleasing in | manner and address, He carries no rapier nor | | ever dips his tongue in venom. That be is not | | wnhkely to become member of the Senate | may be inferred from existing conditions in the state of Michigan. Until very recently it was generally believed that Senator Stockbridge would succeed himself, and that result may yet be achieved by his friends, but since the as- | sembling of Congress it has become manifest that the election of Senator Stockbridge is by no means certain. That there are strong and tential forces actively engaged in shrewd ef- forts to accomplish his defeat is now well known. The plan of his opponents may be brietiy outlined. : ‘Congressman Jay A. Hubbell is acandidate and will probably receive the united support of the section known as the upper peninsula, tection comprising a congressional district now represeated by Mr. Sam 8. Stephenson. This gentleman, while trying to keep out of the sen- | atorial contest, is practically bound to lend his | aid and support to Hubbell. He fought Hub- bell for mary years and at gre@ expense, until | he managec to break into Congress in spite of Hubbell’s dotermination to represent the dis- | trict for fe. Since then Stephenson and Hub- | bell have buried the hatchet and Hubbell has heen a.staunch supporter of Stephenson. It would be suicidal folly for Stephenson to renew the old warfare with Hubbell which lasted #0 many years. STEPHENSON AND STOCKBRIDOE. Moreover, his friends say that Sam Stephen- son is vot exactly friendly to Stockbridge. It is alleged that the congressional excursion which enjoyed a (rip over the great Inkes in "90 was an educational experiment, which resulted in the passuge of the recent river and harbor appropriation fora deep waterway to the sea. This exenrsion, his friends say, was paid for | out of Sam Stephenson's big pocket book; and it is stated with some degree of acrimony Senator Stockbridge has intimated to his friends | that he (Stockbridge) paid the expenses, or greater portion of them. This makes Stephen- son angry. Itisa fact that Stephenson. ass member of the committee on rivers and har- bors, is entitled to credit for the liberal aj propriations which were made for the lake Tegion. Yet his friends say that Senator Stock- bridge claims credit for this work, particularly dwelling upon the value of his services in se | curing favorable legislation for Benton harbor. These stories are going around among the mem: bers of the Michigan legislature and are detri- mental to the interests of Senator Stockbridge. | Congressman Belknap of Grand Rapids says that his recent defeat was in some measure accomplished by the Grand Rapids Herald, an alleged republican paper which bolted his nom- ation, and in which Senator Stockbridge is a large stockholder. Capt. Belknap is an influ- | ential republican in western Michigan and he | does not pretend to be friendly to the aspira- tions of Senator Stockbridge. Moreover, a Grand Rapids republican leader named Blod- | gett, who is well supplied with this world’s goods, is friendly to Belknap, has been for | Fears, and is inimnical to. Stockbridge. ‘There ur votes in Kent county, in which Grand Kapids is located. which will never be cast for tockbridge. They are for ex-Gov. Luce, who | | 1s tacitly understood to be the candidate of the | agricultural element in Michigan. He is re- ferred to always as “Farmer Luce,” and is a very popular man. His friend» claim that he has twenty-two votes pledged to him. MAY NOT GO INTO caUcTS. It is believed that the twenty-two men who are pledged to Luce and the eleven who are pledged to Hubbell will deciine to enter a | caucus, if their presence would bind them to Stockbridge, in the event that Stock ould have a majority of the cauc 2 other words, it is apparent that these mem- f the legislature are determined to defeat | nator Stockbridge first and try to secure the | | election of their favorite afterward. ir. 8. S. Olds, who has been private secre- and attorney for Senator Stockbridge for many years, and who isa shrewd and successful | politician, has managed the carapaign for Sena- tor Stockbridge from the first. He writes to friends in Washington that Senator Stockbridge iscertain of fifty-two votes, which cannot be taken from him under any circumstances. Mr. Olds bas been in Michigan since May last and has probably seen every leading republican in every county and talked with them. He is | genial, poputar, keen and intensely loyal to his fatron. Whoever discredits him or discounts sult is announced. It would be a serious error | | to snppose that Senator Stockbridge is un- | popular in Michigan. His popularity is an ele- ment to be taken into consideration in fore- casting the probabilities. He has friends who | will stand by bim through thick and thin. He | | hus friends who are active and thoroughly in earn He will probably be present when the | legislature meets and personally see every re- publican member. His manner is kindly, per- suasive and always gentlemanly. His presence | will give strength and encouragement to his supporters. Altogether there is likely to be a lively time in Lansing next month. BURROWS AS A POSSIBILITY. as to Congressman Burrows. He re- sides in Kalamazoo and is aneighbor and friend of Senator Stockbridge. He is outspoken for Stockbndge. He would be exceed-/| ingly ungracious and reflect no credit upon | himself in his district if he were to oppose his | fellow townsman and friend. Under the cir- | tances, his support of Senator Stock- | bridge enuses no ill-feeling toward himself on | the part of the opponents of Senator Stock- | bridge. There is likely to be a deadlock in the | | Michigan legislature. In the event of the ap- parent failure of his friends to secure the elec- | tion of Senagor Stockbridge it is not unlikely hat at least half of his supporters would tur very kindly toward Mr. Burrows. He is popu- | ular with all of the members of the legislature, 4, while in no sense a candidate, but on the contrary # warm supporter of Senator Stock- | : his name is mentioned very freely among Michigan people as the most available man upon whom all factions might unite. His position in the House as second in command of the republican forces, second only to the ex-Spenker, Tom Reed, isa matter of pride to the entire republican party of Michigan, His finished oratory has been heard upon the hust- ings of the entire state. The republicans are proud of him, and @ith good cause, for be is an | able Hepresentative. Circumstances make him available in spite of himself., Senator § bridge and his friends would’be less by his selection than by the choice of | man. They are manifestly a majori party, and every republican in Mic to come out of the contest with party harmony. All realize that the democrats are aggressive recently enptured the state. And with this ject in View it seems that Mr. Burrows is er of having the toga thrown over head than any man who is actively en- gaged in seeking it, eave Senater Stockbridge, whom Mr. Olds says will surely be elected to succeed himself. DAVIS WILL SUCCEED HIMSELF. Minnesota is almost unanimous concerning of a successor to Senator Davis. U; of the wily politicians of the gopher md the people K. Davis will be his own successor. popular with the people of Minne- sota is attested by the enffrages of the people. His election six yeurs ago was the result of a popular uprising in his favor which the poli- ticlans could not stem nor ignore. The recent campaign in Minnesota was brought to a suc- cessful iue for the republicans mainly be- cause the «tate convention nominated Senator Davis as his own successor, and the popular Senator went upon the hustings himself and | canvassed the entire state. For six weeks he | was before the people daily. No more popular | orator ever spoke to an audience in Minnesota. | Farmers traveled in their farm wagons many miles to see and hear him. They were never disappointed. His campaign was literally aud really an ovation from commencement to close. His former political foeman, Knute Nelson, supported him, and Gov. Merriam declared for him. Nelson was elected governor and a legis- pledged lature was elected which was before- hand to support Senator Davia, Under the circumstances one would naturally beyond controversy, and, in the opinion of the } writer, itis. Bot it isa matter of fact that, in tion and in spite of the imeidents of the cam- paign and in spite of the unquestionable result, the electiow of a legislature with twenty-four republican majority. a few self-seeking politi- cians have recently been tryit nd ae bis te-clcetion. While it is ngt believed that Gor, ® | in politic | twelve le, suppose that the re-election of Senator Davis is | f and a democrat will take his place. It is a part of the unwritten constitution of Wisconsin that one Senator shall be a resident of the western half of the state and the other Senator shall bea creer ge taco ar ‘When Senator Spooner of Hudson was defeated two years ago Col.

Senator Sawyer resides at Oshkosh, and his successor must come from the eastern part of the state. The most prominent can- didates are Gen. Ed. Bragg, who loved Cleve- land in 1884 “for the enemies he had made,” and John L. Mitchell of Milwaukee. As one of the old-time democratic politicians who have worked for the democratic party in season and outof season for many years Gen. Bragg’s selection might be expect But it is not likely that he will be chosen. Might makes right as well as in war, Gen is no longer a mighty man of valor. has not been in Congress for six years past and has lost his prostige. John L. Mitchell is now Congressman from Milwaukee, is a mem- ber of the democratic national committee and president of the democratic congressional com- mittee. He wasa gallant Union soldier. He has an excellgnt record as a good citizen. And, mirabile dictu, he has about $25,000,000. ‘That settles it. He is a good man, will make » good Senator, and he can pay his way as he goes. He is situated geographically where lightning is bound to strike, and it will be impossible for him toescape. He will be elected to, succeed Senator Sawyer, and will take bis seat When the Sermate convenes in extra session at 12 o'clock noon on the 4th of next March. SENATOR CASEY TO BE RE-ELECTED. North Dakota will re-elect Senator Casey. His present term will expire with the present Congress, and his next term will begin at the same time. He was originally elected with Gilbert A. Pierce when North Dakota wns ad- mitted to statehood in '89, The North Dakota legislature passed a resolution declaring that it had elected Gilbert A. Pierce the long term and Lyman R. Casey for the short term. But, in the lottery which was held in the Senate chamber in Washington, Mr. Pierce drew. the short term and Mr. Casey for the long term. In the following winter Mr. Pierce was gefeated by Senator Hansbrough. There will be practic- aily no opposition in the republican party to the | re-election of Mr. Casey. He is a very good man,and has quite enough of this world’s goods to pay his legitimate expenses in a sena- atorial contest, but there will be no contest. UNCERTAINTY IN MONTANA. Montana will elect whom to succeed Col. Sanders? Nobody knows just yet whether the Montana legislature will elect a republican, o democrat or a populist. The new party has three votes in the legislature and they consti- tute the balance of power. By uniting with the republicans or with the demogats they will decide who shall succeed the Big, bluff, b brave and stalwart Sanders. if théy unite with the republicans Col. Sanders will be chosen. If there were a good working majority for the republicans Tom Carter would enter the contest and try to succeed Sanders. As matters stand the republicans cannot afford’a rumpus and @ row. Sanders is likely to su himself if any republican fs electe ‘The democratic candidates are Wm. W. Dixon of Butte,now a Representative in Congress, the man who defeated Tom Carter in 1890; Wm. A. Clark of Butte, who was @ contestant for the sent which was awarded to Sanders by a party vote in the Senate two years ago, and Maj. Mar- tin Maginnis of Helena, who was also a con- testant forthe seat which was given to Tom Power at the same time. Maj. Maginnis was a Delegate in Congress for Montana for about ears, He ix well known here. Mr. one of the wealthiest men in Montana. He is the owner of the Butte } 8 mining interests galore, stocks, bonds, ba 33 houses, splendid ranches, thoroughbred bérses and everything of the best in Montana. He isa pular gentleman and his democratic friends Pelicve that he was defrauded of « seat in_ the Clark | Senate to which he was elected in ‘89, and they want him elected now as a vindication of that fact. Mr. Dixon is one of the most successful lawyers in the west, and is considered an anthority on mining law, a spe- ciulty of great importance in that country. He is « genial gentleman, with hosts of friends, and has a comfortable fortune, which has been acquired by bis own industry, ability and energy. He would represent his state ably and well if elected. It is understood that the populists intend to bring forward a man of their own and solicit the support of democrats and republicans, to make the thing unanimou: and have their Senator non-partisan and wholly independent. At present nobody can predict who will come forth from this laboring mountain, for the Montana legislature is in a ridiculous muss. ALLEN TO AGAIN BE ELECTED. John B. Allen, formeriy Delegate and Repre- sentative from the territory and state of Wash- ington, and now a Senator, will undoubtedly succeed himself, He is a western man with eastern manners, He formerly resided in Rochester, Minn., where he taught school for several years, He went to Washington in 1870 nd practiced law. He was elected aga repre- sentative to succeed popular Charlie Voorhees, a son of Senator Voorhees. He was then elected to the Senate with Watson C. Squire when Washington was admigted to statehood, and drew the long term. Senator Sqaire has’ been re-elected and Mr. Allen will be re-elected. His most formidable competitor was expected tobe Thomas H. Brents of Walla Walla, who for- merly represented Washington as a delegate in Congress, but was defeated by Charlie Voor- hees in 1884 on a railroad But it is un- derstood now that he will have practically no opposition and that his re-election is beyond doubt. ——_-e—____ Resemper the poor this Christmas.

Should the weather continue to be mild, sa the Philadelphia Press, the survey 6f the pro- posed boulevard to the park willbe completed within the next ten days. District Surveyor W. W. Thayer has been making greater progrem in the work than he had anticipated. This has not only been due to the clear weather, but aiso to the fact that his staff of assistants now num- bers eight men. Mr. Thayer is now making a resurvey of the Dlocks crossed by the proposed thoronghfare, tieing”” them in with the base line. This work isto determine the dimensions of the new Viocks to be formed after the boulevard is opened. When this is completed he will be ready for the office work. This will be the preparation of the plans and the making of calculations that will be used by the Jury of award in determining the amount of damages the property owners will suffer. The park entrances will not be surveyed un- til the pians and specifications of the boule- vard proper are ready for the action of the board of surveys. Two plans will be prepared, one for the district surveyors office and i | other for the y are accepted will be placed on the city plan and advertise- | mengs will be inserted in the newspapers noti- fving the property owners to come forward with their claims, which the jury-of award will act upon, “The most difficult portion of the work yet tobe done,” said Mr. Thayer tow Preas re- porter, “is thecalculation of the grades of the plaza at the end of the park end of the boule- vard. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad tunnel cuts under it about the middle of the plaza. | This wili cause this portion of the open area to be higher than the surrounding «pace. The grades on all sides to the edges of the plaza will | consequently be a declining slope. | “On this high spot would be an ideal site for | the Washington monument. It is solid rock be- [low eight feet, which would afford a better | foundation than any artificial masonry. Th look at the view it commands, It faces the entrance of the boulevard and can be seen by ple standing at the other end at the city alt, Mi omprise not less than ten acres of land or the size nearly of three of our large city blocks. ‘This would require an immense amou: ing unless some monument or grass plots are placed init. With the monument here there would be ample room for the drive and people would have a good chance to see what a beauti- fal memorial it is.” Several member of the Society of the Cin- cinnati are in favor of placing the monument there. ++ —__ DEOPPED INTO A MILLION.
