WOLVERINE REPUBLICANS.

presidential possibility General Alger, and
the annual banquet of its crack Republl-
can organization, the Michigan elub-were
almost too much for the southwestern
corner of this state and it is cause for con
graduation to all concerned that It did
not break away from the up country and
set up for itself as the particular stamp
ing ground of the next chief magistrate,
be he Democrat or Republican. Ihera
were eXPreSident Cleveland and ex-Gov-
ernor Campbell of Ohio on one side, and
Governor Mckinley of Ohio and exGoS-
ernor Alger on the other, all In the city at
once, not to mention others OF national
fame. The city has been in ferment all
day on account OF this unusual JuXtaposl-
tion, though the strain was somewhat re-
lieved for time by the departure OF the
Democratic leaders for Ann Arbor, where
the eX-president talked to the students or
the state university.
The event. however. which brought to-
gether leading Republican politicians from
ali parts Of the state and many from other
states, was the banquet tonight OF the
MICHIGAN club. The banquet was held in
the rink, which was beautifully decorated,
Covers were laid for 1000 people at the
tables upon the main floor, while upon a
platform sat the speakers and guests of
honor, to the number of forty. General
Alger presided and introduced the speak
ers, and Congressman Burrows delivered
an address of welcome to the visitors
The set speeches, in response to toasts,
were as follows: Senator Perkins of
Kansas, on Washington. the Farmer and
Politician:" Governor Mckinley, "Protec-
tion as a National Issue" Hon. Frederic
T. Greenhalge of Massachusetts, "The
Present Duty of the Republican Party"
Senator Dolph, "Washington, the Protec-
tionist;'' J. Sloat Fassett of New York,
Municipal Reform" and Richard Yates
Kerr, "Yoang Men in Politics"
Among the letters of regret was one
from James G.. Blaine, in which he said:
"The Democrats are divided, the Repubi-
cans united. If we do not win it is our
own fault"
Senator Perkins of Kansas, in the course
of his address on Washington, the Far
mer and Politician" said that in 1890
Kansas had sent one of its citizens to an
insane asylum for believing that horses
and cattle were money, while in 1891 it
had sent another of its citizens to the
United States senate for believing the
same thing. He then reviewed the party's
position on the silver question and fol-
lowed with an argument on protection
and with a defense of the "bllion-dollar

SECRETARY RAIEOuR.

LONDON. Feb. 22-The Sunday Sun
published leader by Mr.. L. 2. O'Connor,
NJ. F., IN which he points out that current
events are apparently confirming what he
has previously written in prophecy Of an
early dissolution of parliament. The
article is headed, "Will Balfour Fallf'
and Mr.. OConnor analyZes the manner in
which the former chief secretary for Ire
land has conducted himself thus far in his
new position of leader of the governments 5
forces in the house OF commons, and comes
to the conclusion that he has not
shown the qualities of genuine leadership.
The session, saws Mr.. O'Connor, is an
especially eventful one. The government
Is face to face with serious difficulties
and has narrowly escaped defest al
ready. Mr.. Balfour's failure TO meet the
eXigency presented during the weeks de-
bate proves that be lacks the instinct or
natural genius of leadership. In Mon
days sitting he was plainly fustered dur
ing the debate He showed excitement
and hesitated at critical moments. Never
theless. backed by a majority, he carried
his point; but the opinion grows among
the members that he viii faii as n leader
owing to his lack of adroitness and his in
ability TO exercise self t-command at critical
junctures Mr. O'Connor contrasts Bal
four with Parnell as a leader, and recalls
how throughout hundreds OF eXcit,
ing scenes Parneil remained cool
and strong, never losing his head,
and often winning important con
cessions purely on account OF his
ability to retain his clear vision
of essentials throughout the cloud OF tenn
porary side issues that always spring up
during heated political debate. MIR.
O'Connor adds that it is interesting to
study Balfour in his new role. The oppor-
tunity is afforded of judging how much Of
his success in the management OF the Irish
policy of the government was due TO his
innate ability and how much TO Circum-
stances 1t has been the fashion 10 credit
him with a remarkable degree OF nerve
and self control. 1t now appears that the
hardness which he showed in regard TO the
imprisonment Of the Irish members must
have been due to some other cause than
the possession OF nerve, for the events of
the past week show lack of that partlcu-
lar quality
