Francisco has earnest friends on the
committee, but should they sue
ceed in getting the convention held
there it would surprise great
many people, themselves among
the number.
The talk about there being seri-
Gus dissension between Mr.. Cleve-
land and Secretary Olney and other
members of the Cabinet over the
maintenance of the Monroe doe
trine hv Great Britain in its deal
ings with Venezuela continues,
not withstanding a positive denial
made several days ago by Attor-
ney General Harmon. Those who
insist that the dissension exists
say that the denial to have carried
any weight should have been made
either by Mr.. Cleveland or Secre-
tary Olney, the two men who are
reported to be at logger heads. A
semi official statement has been
made to the effect that the admin
istration does not regard a crisis,
requiring either a back down or a
fight, possible between this time
and the assembling of Congress,
and that Mr.. Cleveland intends
sending special message to Con-
gress accompanied by all the cor
with Great Britain,
for advice as to the next
move on the part of this govern
ment, unless Great Britain mean
while comedies our right to the
of the Monroe doctrine.
If he does there isn't semblance
of doubt about what will be
done-the Monroe doctrine will
be upheld, by force if necessary.
That has always been the position
of the Republican party.
1t is an open secret among Mr..
Cleveland's few personal friends
that he regrets having gone to At
lanta. The reason for his regret
is the lack of enthusiasm over his
visit among the masses. His re-
ception by other officials, not only
at Atlanta but everywhere he
was all that could have
been asked for, but the crowds
which turned out to see him seemed
actuated mainly by curiosity and
none of the spontaneous
enthusiasm for which
pleased Southern crowds have long
been famous. That was a blow to
Mr.. Cleveland's egotism, and the
more he thinks about it the more
he regrets that he didn't stay away
from Atlanta.
There has been shake up in
the financial branch of the State
Department, in consequence of an
investigation by special agents of
the Treasury Department. The
Chief of the Bureau of Accounts
and the head book keeper of the
same bureau have been compelled
to resign. The officials of the De-
partment will not say whether
these changes are the result of
shortage in cash or of bad business
methods. The Chief of the Bu-
reau is under $50, 900 bond and
handled something like 1000, 900
year.
Ex-Congressman Brady, of Vir-
glnia, who was for many years an
able lieutenant of the late Gen.
says that Mr.. Reed is the
present favorite of the Virginia
republicans for the presidential
nomination, but that he will not
to say what the senti-
ment will be when the time comes
5or selecting delegates to the nomi-
mating convention. Speaking of
low the South will vote next year,
Mr.. Brady said: "The South is
or protection. The issue is some
lines obscured, and sometimes
ldroitly forced into the background
~ the democratic leaders, but I
When it is fully and vigorously pre- |
ented to her, the South, as well |
IS the North, will vote for the |
urther building up of this country. |
