Judge Thompson tho well known Con-

Among other things tho .Waahlngton
correspondent OF the Cleveland Leader
has the following, aftCr stating NJ
lNlUlH lllAA AlNANHAANN ~ Nt"N lNAA
ais candidate; As the race now np-
pcara Mckinley and Reed are clcnr lead
cra, with Cannon, Burrows and llondoi~
aon bunchcd some distance behind. But
the race IN not always 20 the swift and no
certain prediction can bc mndc. II sur
fnce indications go for anything Mr., Reed
will command the most votes on the first
ballot, but atll lacking thirty or moro OF
q majority IL would appear, however,
that when the "fayorlto aonan have boon
auiilclontly complimontcd, aud the broNk-
up comes, he will be less likely 70 attract
western yotos than Mckinley. Rood has
the Eastern aud Middle states pretty solid
10 start with aud they are the citadel OF
hls strength, Tho Western Republicans
will nj llrst scatter their fayora among Ot
ionst four candidates, II u shall appear
TINT neither Cannon, Burrows nor Hon
dorson can succeed, thoir votes are moro
likely
TO 90 no M'uHLEY
thnn 10 Reed. II ~ claimed 10y friends of
the latter that u considerable number OF
Republican members from the Northwest,
who are In favor OF moro or less tariff re-
vision, will support the man from Mnino
rnthcr than the pronounced nigh Mriil
etntcamnn from Ohio, Upon the oxtont
40 which this may bo realized the result
may largely depend. On the other hand,
N Reed N not nominated on the second or
third ballots, some OF his votes In Penn

md 4 will bo scarcely possible 10 mako u
acrioua mistake whichever ono " chosen.
All are mon Of acknowledge ability, char
meter and standing, and recognized ng
nnrty leaders. Mckinley, OF Ohio, and
Reed, OF Mnino, are natives OF the States
from which they hail. Burrows, OF Michi-
ann. wna horn I'm Pennsylvania Cannon,
OF Illinois, In North Carolinai Henderson,
of Iowa, In Scotland. Mckinley, Bur
rows and Henderson served in the army
during the war; the latter losing log ~
Corinth. Rood was for nearly two, years 2
bis nnmo IA suggestive OF artillery, did not
syo 10 the war, serving as State'a attorney
IN Illinois. Mckinley IL forty-ilvo, the
nony IN the race; Henderson forty-nino,
Reed ilfty, Burrows ilfI-two and Cannon
f,esv-throe, For church fair priEo Tor
hcing tho hest looking II woululbo nip and
Iicif between Mckinley and Henderson

beauty Is spoiled by tho stibhy beard TINT

AZ. b,ttsl,'rg Dinpalbh, spohlea of McKinr
inv ~ foliows; Al OF th6 friends Of Reed
VIII whom tho correspondent or Tho Dis
ratch Ina held conversation have Ok
nresaod themselves kindly toward the
pthor candidate, and especially toward
Wntr,nlev. who IL admitted 10 bo the
sdrnnges{ opponont OF Reed. They say OF
tbo Ohio man, however, that while they
admire hia ability, and concede that no
MIGHT be n brilliant success as oponkor
ho would be nn experiment. os he mas nnd
no experience In the chair, other as q
temporary occupant 70 renovo . Wy
Speaker, or MS Chairman OF tho coHmi''oe
OF tho whole.
M'gINLEY's UNrirNEss.
Probably no member OF the House OF
nnything Ike equal prominence mas nau
40 little experience ~ . presluimg oincHr,
and has shown 80 little disposition TO IN
terest himself In contests based on parlia-
montnry procodurnh, Ho has always
fought shy Of debates on points OF order,
md no ono can remember his ever having
raiaed or discussed question Of order;
II Is the argument OF tho friends OF other
candidates, therefore, that In view OF mo
inexnoriencn OF Mckinley, II would be
hazardous 70 elect him Speaker ct u time
when the Office demands .all the oxpcr-
ienco and ability that can be brought to
the place. Tho friends OF Reed prc not
uginr this as an argument against MclAin-
Icy, but merely state y ~ one OF tne icat
tres OF the contest which must occur 70
