old soldiers, who have been 50 shame
fully treated BY The democratic admin
istration.
Gov. McKinley's name Is on the
tongue Of every jubilant republican you
meet, ard they are Ell jnbilant. Gov.
Mckinley has always been popular
with republicans in Congress and in
Washington, and predictions are heard
on all sides-some even from demo-
crats-that the unprecedented majority
the Ohio republicans have given him
will make HIM the next President of
United STATES if he live and keep his
health. Mckinley and Reed is already
tavorite ticket and that they would
make strong. typical and winning
ticket is certain.
Speculation is rife as to what effect
the great republican victories will have
upon the democratic tariff bill. Youl
correspondent does not pretend to en-
Joy the confidence of The democratic
bosses who are directing the construc
tion of that measure, but he knows that
there is CONSERVATION among the dem
ocrstic members of the House Ways
and Means committee; that chairman
Wilson has been in almost constant
consultation with Mr.. Cleveland since
the elections, and that prominent dem
ocrats who favor limited protection are
confident that the result Of the elections
will d. what all of their peadings have
hitherto failed to do-curb the free trade
propensities of Mr.. Cleveland, and
prevent the new tariff bill being as
hurtful TO American wage earners as it
was originally intended to be. Indeed,
some of them say that the bill would
have been reported before the adjourn
ment of Congress had not Mr.. Cleve-
land been pursuaded to have it held
back until after the election. tomeet the
very contingency that now exists
Hon. Patrick Egan, who so cteditsbly
filled the position of U. S. minister to
Chila under the Harrison administra-
ton, was in Washington this week.
His knowledge Of South American con
ditions and politics would make his
opinion Of the present status and prob
able result of the revolution in Brazil
both valuable interesting, but he pos
itively declined al invitations to talk
for publication on any subject | was
informed by gentleman who is
warm personal friend of both men that
Mr.. Egan was invited to Washington
by Secretary Gresham in order that the
administration might get the benefit of
his opinion regarding the Brazilian
situation
The administration must have had
sort OF premonition Of the republican
landslide, as Secretary Carlisle was
sent TO New York by Mr. Cleveland be-
fore election to try to get the Wall
street men to promise to and in carrying
out the financial policy of the admins
tration, whatever that may be. That
was certainly q proceeding that was
characteristic of the democratic party,
whic ways tried all things with all
men. 1t will be remembered that only
q few short weeks ago the democratic
press was ringing with praises of Sec
rotary Carlisle and Mr.. Cleveland. for
having, as they alleged, snubbed the
Wall street men who came to Wash
ington to tender the administration
some financial advice. What will they
say now about Secretary Carlisle having
been sent by Mr.. Cleveland to humbly
beg for the advice which they praised
him for having once Indignantly re-
fused? But it doesn't matter much
what they say, intelligent voters will mot
get their information from democra-
tic papers.
