Allison Has a Boom.
The Reed men have been having
things nearly their OWN way ever since
congress came together month sago:
Harrison has practically no following In
either house OF congress. and the cause
OF Mckinley is especially weak, be-
cause Of the fact that the men who are
his managers and leaGers are among the
VIGOROUSLY 'light-weights" OF the
party. But Reed. while preferred TO-
Mckinley or Harrison by the reprery
sentatiyes and senators from the Missisrl
sippi valley, is not satisfactory 10 them.
They want Western man. and There
are indications that an attempt will bei
made by them to rally around Senator
Allison. of Iowa. + u
The Iowa man has been on both sides
of the silver question. and. while he has
not said just what should be done, his
public utteranees all convey the im-l
preston that he believes that ''Someta
thing should be done for silver" This,
will be satisfactory, in measure. to the
extreme silver Republicans of the silver
mining states. and will certainly secure
their votes rs against any OF the candt-

gested. The movement toward Don.
Cameron never had any bottom, and
since the election all talk, even of the
silver Republicans uniting for the

Again, on the tariff question, Allison
while he voted with his party, has been
moderate i'll his expressions. and is gen
orally considered moderate protection
list. The. Republicans who do not be-
lieve in the revival of Mckinleyism find
III Allison a man much to their liking.
In short, Senator Allison has record
that would stand the wear and tear of a
campaign very we'll. He has been on
all sides Of many questions, and never
very hard or pronounced for anything.
He is eTinently respectable, but not at
all brilliant. AS we'll known Repub-
lican expressed it:
"AlliSon is all edition of Harrison
without the brains of the eX-pI eSident,
for Harrison is smart. He had a way of
cutting the threats of his best friends
and think Allison would about match,
Ben in that"
RurreII Champions PLAT
The Rev. David James Burrell, now
of New York. but formerly of Mime
APP oils, has again become the recipient
Of great deal of attention at the hands
Of the newspapers. This time the Twin
City papers, however, are Supplanted
by those of New York. By the mug.
wump and anti-Piatt Republican papers
of Gotham, MIR. Burrell is being savage.
~ criticised because he allows the big
Republican boss of New York to listen
to his hIgh-prlced sermsns i'll the Marble
church. Up to few weeks ago MIR.
Piatt was accustomed to attend DR..
Parkhurst's church. He contributed
literally and seems in all ways to have
conducted himself as becomes gentle
man. But one Sunday Dr.. Parkhurst
announced in the course OF his sermon
that zone Plat is worse than five
Crokers." This was little too much
for Mr.. Plat, and he changed his
church. taking pew in the magnificent
editice presided over by DIR. BurTell.
Some one asked his new pastor about
Mr.. Plat, and. having met him last
summer and found him gentleman,
DIR. Burrell made a favorable report,
saying something complimentary OF the
president of the United States Express

they have since been denOuncing DR..
Burrell almost as violently as they do
MIR. Platt. The doctor, however, is
abundantly. liable to hold his OWE, and
before the controversy is ended he will
STIR things up in Gotham as he was in
the habit OF doing in Minneapolis in
former years. 800.
Extra Session Talk.
There is now no doubt that there will
be an attempt made by certain ele-
ment of the Republican party to force
an extra session. This will not be be-
cause of the failure of any Of the appro-
priat!on bills, for the members of the
appropriation committees in both
houses have all of these measures we'll
under way, and not even the absurd
rules now III force in the senate Will
allow any of them to be defeated. There
are a few Republican senators like
Quay who would like to talk the urgent
deficiency bill appropriating money for
the collection Of the income tax to
death, but they nearly ali have some
pet piece of iobbery that cannot go
! through unless the decks are cleared,
and. inasmuch as the Democrats will
push IN measure 10 the exclusion of
everything else, it will certainly pass.
The Republican senators from the West
favor the income tax and they will rot
countenanee such qualification of
law now OIL the statute books.
