sit can. ana easily, loo. LOU see,
this is not a hasty scheme. It was
decided upon as soon as it was found
that the democrats would redlstrict
Ohio. The McComas anti-gerry-
Wandering bill will not be passed.
1t does not cover the exigencies of
the case. There is need for more
radical action.
A PART OF ONE GREAT PLAN.
s'Everything that has been done
in congress so far" continued Mr..
Leach, ''has been part OF the great
plan. With Reed and his rules, we
now have the house in such shape
that any measure can be rushed
through whenever and in as short
time as may be necessary. The
senate has still to be fixed, and that
is why Chandler introduced his res
olution for the new rules of few
days ago. Morton has gone away
and will not be back until the battle
is over. With Ingalls, in the chair
and the improved rules in force, the
measure can be rushed through, if
the republicans are solid"
'And right there is the only stun
bling block" exclaimed Leach.
s'There are few old grannies in the
senate like Edmunds, Blair and Ev-
arts, who kick on everything which
is not done according to precedent
and tradition. But they must be
forced into line.
The salvation of the party demands
it. The apportionment bill is not
all of the plan, however. Special
sessions of the legislature in certain
states will be called under direction
from the national committee, to Sc
redistrict for congressional purposes
as to make the most of the increased
opportunities. It will be of no use
for the democrats to attempt to fol
low this liue of action, for with the
exception of one or two states, they
will find decided decrease and moi
an increase to deal with"
"Now," asked the speaker, tri
umphantly, ''what do you thinl
about the next congress? and, O.
course, the same situation applies te
the electoral votes. There is one
state usually called southern, by the
way, to which the census scheme
does not apply. That is West Viz
ginia. 1t is surely republican il

Elkins, through his land. coal ant
railroad companies, has introduced
1000 new voters into the state. I

i MEAN THREAT.
"That is but one feature of tn,
plan. The actual work of the mex
presidential campaign is already vel
under way. It looks as though
Cleveland will be again the demo
cratic candidate, and Quay now ha
i'll his possession personal amunitio,
beside which the Maria Halpin mat
ter is nowhere. Some of this ma,
be even fired off at an early date i
these bitter attacks upon Quay al,
not stopped"
This is the substance of the cor
versation, given in almost the Ian
guage used. Summed up it mean
that the census enumerators are t,
