STATESMEN WHOSE REMARKS ARE BEING WIDELY
CIRCULATED JUST Now-woRK GOING on AT
THE COMMITTEE RooMs-rHE TARIFF AND
OTHER QUESTIONS DISCUSSED.
Business is rushing at political headquarters
in this city. Republicans and democrats alike
are doing their utmost to disseminate informa-
tion or theory which will. they think. give their
respective parties at least temporary advantage.
and from the two storehouses Of campaign
literature tons of partisan arguments are being
and will be shipped.
Democratic endeavor has it, home in the
Loan and Trust Company's builing at 9th and
streets. Up on the third floor are the rooms
sacred at this time to the democratic
congressional committee. Representative
John L. Mitchell of Wisconsin is
chairman, but he is out of the city Just
now, so Secretary Lawrence Gardner is bearing
the entire burden. After September 1 Chairman
Mitchell will be back here, and from that date
until the election of 1892 is thing of the past
he will devote n more than ordinary amount Of
attention to the doubtful districts
SENDING OUT SPEECHES.
or the speeches that are being sent out the
greater demand is for the tariff oration deliv-
cred by Senator Carlisle. Already there are
orders for 250,000 of these. Then lots of peo-
pie want Representative W. l.. Wilson's
speech on duties on wool and wooden
goods. There is also considerable cry for Mr.
Wilson's 1880 speech on trusts. Representative
Bryan's speech on the same subject is also
being loudly called for throughout the north
west. The tariff speech delivered by Repre-
sentative Crisp two years ago is going out
quite numerously and so are the re-
marks Of Representative McCreary on
woolen goods. Representative McKinney's
speech on pensions is being widely circulated.
but no more so than the anti-force bill effort Of
Senator Mcpherson. Henry Georges "Pro-
lection or Free Trade" is having phenomenal
circulation.
From the south comes most Of the orders for
''pizen." Democrats in that region are afraid
of Gen. Weaver and the party that is behind
him, SO the committee is supplying them with
unlimited quantities of republican speech deliv-
cred by Representative ID. B. Henderson of Iowa
in which Gen. Weaver is pilloried, crucified,
hanged, drawn, quartered and incinerated.
During the last day or two there have been
many inquiries for copies Of Senator Stewards
speech on the force bill-another instance Of
how a republican can supply democrats with
campaign material.
PRINTED IN GERMAN.
Half million copies Of the tariff speech Of
Representative White of Iowa are being
printed in German; a large number have already
been printed in English and distributed.

There will be great many political puzzles
that may worry US before We solve them" said
Secretary .ssr !,ue Gardner IS to srAn reporter
as to which party will control the
next House. There will be a satisfactory demo-
ocratic majority beyond doubt. No, there are

House just the same"
AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS.
Republican headquarters are in charge of
Capt. 7. H. Mckee, who is assistant secretary
of the national committee. Capt Mckee was
located in the same building as the demo-
cratic committee but he moved out, and il
now at Ills G street in the old United
Service Club. In the same mansion are the
Offices of Secretary Edward Mcpherson of the
republican congressional committee This lat
ter organization is doing advisory duty at this
time; it is not preparing any documents, does
not employ any staff Of clerks ami is not using
funds.
Capt. McKees force consists Of a few more
than fifty men and women, and everybody has
at least enough to do. Every room in the
roomy house is occupied.
To give something like an idea of what the
committee has done and will do it is enough to
say that no less than 5000, 900 large envelopes
and 5000 900 wrappers will be used.

Then there is the labor chart. q map which
shows the average wages paid in each state in
the Union, and which also shows that in all re-
publican states the compensation exceeds 81
per day, while in all the democratic states
except New Jersey and Connecticut wages is
less than 81. More than q million of these
charts are being circulated. Every day over
1000 packages containing one of each
kind Of document issued are distributed There
are no campaign song books being sent out for
the committee will not compete with the many
publishers who are in that line of business.
Capt. McKee's book, ''The National Platforms
OF All Political Parties" il also going out very
rapidly. The committee II not circulating it;
the politicians are buying it for themselves.
