Representative Englishmnn's Ideas on the Mckinley
Tariff Bill

The local political situation was very
comfortable yesterday, so far as the county
is concerned at least. At the regular Re-
publican headquarters the men in charge
were resting on their cars and swimming
wi; the current. There wasn't much talk,
but vast amount of serenity.
At straightout Republican headquarters
a dozen clerks were directing circulars.
Secretary Brush was entertaining visitors,
Secretary Porter directing operations, and
Secretary Dunn hustling generally. One
of the secretaries said the work was going
on as well as they had anticipated, and, in
spots, even better He said that even bets
were being made that the straightout ticket
would win, and 100 offered to 20 that Porter
would be District Attorney.
AT regular Democratic headquarters,
Councilman Mullen was in charge, with
Chairman Bremen popping in from time to
time. There were more callers here than
at any of the other places named, but Mr..
Mullen said that the campaign literature
had not vet been sent out. There was
plenty Of it living around, and the COM
mand, Thou shalt not steal, imperative
mood, present tense, was distinguishable
occasionally.
A BELIEVER IN STILL-HUNT CAMPAIGNS.
Mr.. Mullen said it had not been decided
when the oratory should be uncorked, but
it would likely be determined on Wednes-
day or Thursday. Personally, Mr.. Mullen
expressed himself against public speaking,
as ne thought it did not often help the
Democratic party of this country. He is
built on the still-hunt pattern.
Ex-Postmaster John LarkiE said it was
an off-vear and the thunder of the captains
and the shouting were not likely to be dis
tinguishing features.
he straightout Democrats have not for
mallv opened their Headquarters, but At
torney c. A. O'Brien said their work was
being done all the same, and that he hadn't
the least doubt that intelligent Democrats
generally would know more of their would
be leaders in this county by the close of
the campaign than they had ever known be-
fore. He said, also, that meetings would
be quite general after this week until the
ending of the campaign, and in this view
ex-Councilman Walls and Councilman Carr
concurred.
