Reed md McI<inIcrism.

K is worth noting that ex-Speaker Reed
has not thus far denied the substantial
accuracy Of the report which represented
him as practically disavowing Mckin-
leyism. All that he has said thus far is
that he did not authorize the publication
Of his views and did not understand that
he was being interviewed for publication.
This raises no question Of veracity on
the part of the interviewer. but only one
OF courtesy. And, spite of Mr.. Reed APP
parent indignation, we cannot help think
ing that he Is really relieved at the ex-
posure Of his lack of sympathy with Nc
Kin.eyism. 1t has to come out sometime,
or the Ohio major would be having things
all his own way; and its coming out 'un-
belxnownst." as 1t were. makes it easier
for the ex-speaker He gets all the benefit
of the fast that he has had enough of
McKin.eyism. and at the same time-by
his partial denial-gets the credit Of hav-
ing carefully concealed his feelings out
of consideration for his rival. An astute
man is Thomas Bracket Reed.-Detroit

NEW PALESTINE, Oct. 26-Special.-
The mountains roared and brought forth
a mouse. For weeks the republicans have
advertised Charles l.. Henry, their candi-
date for congress. TO address the people
of this vicinity. Today was the time, Mr..
Henry came but there was much disap-
pointment TO his audience. Mr.. Henry's
speech was pronounced a featherweight
by his own party as compared with the
eloquent address OF the Hon. w. ID. By
mum Of a week ago. The democrats are
much pleased over the republican disap-
pointment. As IL was, Mr.. Henry's speech
made many votes for Mr.. Bynum.
