The associates in the house of Repre-
sentative McCleary, say that since his re-
turn to Washington he is apparently cast
down over the sad ending of his fight for
the senatorship in Minnesota. The Re
publican leaders seem to hold the opinion
that McCZeary by his candidacy materi-
ally aided in defeating Washburn and
electing Nelson. Moreover, they do not
consider him, Judging by his previous
record in congress, to be safe or party
man. This fact is apt to work to the in
jury of McCleary when the next house is
organized. He might have captured
some good positions on committees if he
had kept out of the senatorial fight. AS
it is now, Fletcher and Tawney are GER
tain TO obtain all the good prizes that
Tom Reed, as speaker, will allot to Min
nesota. Mr.. Reed is said to hold to the
opinion that the result of the Nelson VIC
tory means an attempt of himself and
friends to send Mckinley delegates to
the national convention, in 1896. This,
of course, does not please Reed, and he
is not likely to crowd McCleary to the
fore, in view of the fact that he materially
aided the Nelson Merriam -Clough- Nc
Kinley combination.
