Th regular rfua to rcomlM thara, and It la not atrang that they should rafuM. It la acarceij raaaofiabla for inaurgertcv to aak to b rewarded by thoa against whom It la an Insurrection. It la plain, however, that th Insurgents will stay out of tha senate organisation unless their demand de-mand are conceded."

Mr. Ia Pol let te on the committee oa Interstate commerce, Mr. Brlatow on th foreign relation committee and Mr. Cummin on th finance committee.

Thar are really two partial bearing th Republican name and they will not cooperate co-operate very long." New York World: "Twelve men csn hardly hope to dominate a body mode up of ninety-two. As Republicans ttie twelve are certain to be suppressed. As Democrats they might easily become an active element In the majority. No one hsa ever made a great success of supporting sup-porting the principles of one party In the ranke of the other. The Democrats sre going In the direction toward which the Insurgents are headed, and .the stand pat Republlcana are not going at all.
