Senator Sherman Thinks the MoKin-
ley Bill is the Secret of the Up
heavsl-senator Quay Thinking OF
the Prediction He Made at Minne-
apolis-Senstor Aldrich Lying Low.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l.--As the repub-
lican statesmen return to Washington they
continue the conversational discussions
about the events OF last Tuesday Senator
Sherman spent half an hour talking over
the election, and especially Ohio's part in It,
with the President this morning. Like
President Harrison, and all the other intel
ligent republican leaders, he attributes the
result to McKiuleyism, against which he
claims to have protested privately, although,
unlike Mr.. Blaine, he publicly consented
to it. OF course he did not tell President
Harrison what he thought about the PTesi-
dents share Of the party responsibility, but
it is we'll understood that Senator Sherman
thinks that il be had been elected in 1883 he
would have been reelected in 1892, because
as President he would have been abls to pro-
vent the high tariff excuses which he could
not stop, he thinks as senator.
ALDRICH LAYING Low.
Senator Aldrich, who really had more to
do with the Mckinley tariff as it now
stands than Mr.. Mckinley himself, is in
town. but did not appear at the white
house, nor indeed In any other public place,
up to this evening. During the many
months while the Mckinley tariff bill was
pending Senator Aldrioh was the Presi-
dents most frequent visitor. and was gem
orally understood to be the spokesman
in the Senate, as Mr.. Mckinley was in
the House. 1t ID perhaps, however, not
strange that he is not Inclined to coudole
with the President.
Senator Quay is here on his way to Flor=
Ida, where he will rest until congress meets,
In the hope that his health may be entirely
restored. He, too, hos not appeared at the
white house. He will not say what he is
thinking about at all, for pubH-
cation, but 10 is well understood that
he is thinking, among other things.
that his predictions at Minneapolis as TO
what would happen TO tho Republican party
In November il it renOminated the man
whom he believed he had elected President
we're fully viadiceted by the returns on
Tuesday. As is well known Senator Quay
stood with ex-Secretary Blaine and not
with President Harrison on the two Harri-
son issues, MoKinIeyism and the force bill.

was right.
ELKINs' DIsAPPEARANCE.
There was q good deal of humorous COM
ment to-day over the mysterious disap-
pearance of Secretary Elkins, who left here
last week to 20 out aud get the electoral
vote and the legislature, TO say nothing OF
William l.. Wilson's scalp, in West Vir-
ginia, aud has not been heard of or heard
from since.
At the cabinet meeting to-day all the
members of the cabinet except Uncle Jerry
Rusk. who arrived this evening, were pres
ent, and it 10 reported that there was some
quiet laughter even In that solemn as
semblY at the absence of the doughty Sec
rotary OF War, whose contributions to the
symposium as 20 the causes of Tuesday . de-
feat would have been interesting.
NEW LEADERS WANTED.
The more the republican Leaders, whether
they be President Harrison aud his follow
ers at the white house OF ex-Secretary
Blaine and his friends AT the red house, cons
slider the Significance Of the election returns
the more convinced they seem to be that
new politics and new leadership are abso-
lutely essential If the Republican party Is
to regain control of the government, aud
what makes the situation so dscouraging is
not 80 much the defeat as that the means
by which alone future victories are TO be
bad are not at all visible.
