populist elected as a democrat And In the house there are but three republicans entirely too small a body to be referred to as "the other side" or dignified as “the opposition” The democrats have full and complete control and a majority so large as to become a possible disturbing element There will be no caucuses to decide lines ot policy or the late of possible legislation but the battles will be fought out In the legislative halls not as partisans are prone to light for partisan advantage but as gladiators struggling for mastery and the leadership of the party Already there are evidences of feelings which may threaten the very existence of the fellowship which Is supposed to exist among members of the same poThe little legislation that litical family lias been attempted lias demonstrated that there will be plenty of “the other side" and “opposition” hut It will be within the ranks of one party an oppo more vicious ' and more to be than ff the fight were the usual Those who expected a
