REED AND FORAKER,
The Ticket That Andrew GIeesOn VIII
Support Next Time.

If Andrew Gleeso7, the longtime repub-
hcan of the District of Columbia and an
ardent Blaine man during the life of the
Maine statesman, goes TO the next national
republican convention, his ticket will be
Reed ard Foraker.
For twenty years Mr.. Gleeson attended
all national republican conventions. In
1876 he voted for Mr.. Blaine, and at all
subsequent conventions stuck to his IA
vorite, voting for him first, last and al
ways. When there were combinations
made in favor of other candidates Mr.
Gleeson always preferred to go down with
the defeated by casting his vote In the
last ballot for the man from Maine.
After HARRISON was defeated at the last
election Mr.. Gleeson, in New York city, met
Mr.. Reed and Mr. Manly in the lobby of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He told Mr.. Reed
then that he would be the next President
OF the United States, ard if he is chosen
as a delegate to the next convention that
will be his choice. Mr.. Gleeso thinks that
Foraker would make a frst-class second
on the ticket.

for pardon in the case of George NJ. Van

trict Of Iowa for violation of the pension
