singing attack on Speaker Reed made by
Representative w. L. Wilson Of West
Virginia in his great speech or the
! adoption OF the rules, and he has been
marked out by the Republican congress
ional committee for defeat but the Repub-
licans will be appointed. Wilson
will be reelected, and by an increased
majority. Mr.. Wilson passed through
the city to-day, and in response to

statement made at Republican head
quarters that $4,000 has been sent to my

while working on the campaign. He
has one man stationed to watch
single barrel of whisky for 100 DAYS at 81
q day, so he coull be where he could do
campaign WORK. -
IT will be seen by this that the admin
istration is using the machinery of gov
eminent TO defeat the Democrats. Re-
publicaus realize that the situation is
desperate, and word has been given to
stop at nothing TO win. 1t is
an excuse for ''blsedIng'' department
clerks. Republicans state that they have
been unable to get money enough 10 meet
the ordinary campaign expenses. They
stute that manufacturers who are hene-
fitted 10y the passage of the Mckinley
Gill regard that as

for what they contributed during the
last presidential campaign, and Will not
give any more money in consideration of
the passage of that bill. They can not
collect money on goods already delivered.
they say. especially when parties to
whom they have been delivered
think they have already made
payments. This sounds very well, but it
doesn t fool anyone. 1t may do for the
purpose of squeezing little more money
from the department clerks, but thu fuct

Representative Dalzell, who went to
Ohio TO speak iu McKiuley's
behalf, has returned and was
i'll the city to-day. He said TO your cor
respondent to-day that the situation in
the keystone state was decidedly mixed.
He had no idea what the result would
be. 1.-The question, - said he, "hangs
in the balance. There is liable to
he small majority either way.
He SAYS the Republicans will probably
hold their own in the state congressional
delegation.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS
have been more than anxious TO have
Secretary Blaine make several speeches IN
the state before the close of the cam
paign, and have billed him to speak in
Philadelphia next Saturday night. The
secretary has not given his consent
to any such arrangements, but, on the
contrary, has declined all invitations to
participate in the campaign. He does
not care TO mix up in the bitter fight now
raging IL Pennsylvania. 1t is we'll un-
dersIoOd here that Blaine does not ap-
prove of Quay methods and more than
once has the secretary seemingly gone |
out of his way to show his hostility TO this |
junior Pennsylvania senator.
