From Youths Companion.
The late Rev. DR.. William L. Brecken-
ridge Of Kentucky used to tell this story of
an Irishman who desired to have a letter
written home to his friends in the old
country. 1t was at time when provisions
were so abundant in the west as to be al
most without value.
After mentioning a good many things
that he wished to have written to his
friends in Ireland In regard to America,
Patrick said:
Tell them that I get all the meat can
eat three times a week..
And what do you mean by that?" asked
the writer. Don't you get all the bacon
you can eat three times a day?"
"Yes, your riverence." was the prompt
reply.
"Well, then, what do you mean by writ
ing to your friends in Ireland that you get
all the meat you can eat three times
week."

Henry Cabot Lodge. Joseph. Manley
State Insurance Commissioner Carr and
other Maine workers. were extremely ac-
tive this morning, and yet frank in their
statements that Mr.. Mckinley had a clear
majority.
Senator Lodge had a conference with the
South Carolina, Florida, West Virginia and
New York colored men, and announced that
he had received assurances from them of
active support for Reed, and pledge of
missionary work for today. He said: 1.-The
colored southern delegates have been badly
treated by the Mckinley managers. They
were promised very great consideration. and
received none. The majority of them have
declared for Mr.. Reed"
A significant fact in this connection Is that
Caleb Simmons of New York, a prominent
Platt colored man, and instructed alternate
for Morton, was one of the leaders in the
movement Of the colored men toward Reed
In addition to this movement, the Kerens
faction Of the Missouri delegation owing
to the fact that Mr.. Hanna Is supposed to be
treating with Chauncey Filley, had boldly
announced that they were through with Mr.
Mckinley, took down his pictures, and an
nou I'd themselves for Reed. Naturally
there was more rejoicing in the Reed camp
Mr. Reeds managers were in every state
headquarters during the day, and there was
as much life about their own Headquarters
as In any part of the state.

A FAIR FIELD AND CLEAR SKY

There have been many symptoms for
several years that the people Of the
United States propose TO manage the
presidential and congressional election OF
this rear through the Republican party,
according TO well-settled convictions ana
precisely TO please themselves, with less
attention to mere pbraseology and the
intermediary persons and processes, than
has been the custom OF the country.
There is more popular impulse and
tiahty OF the masses, and less attention
to the apparatus Of organization and the
influence OF bosses now, than mas hap
Dened since the first national campaign
Of the Republican party, just forty years
ago. and that was fought on the glorious
issue OF freedom OF the territories, ana
there never was a source OF political in
spiration more generous and command
ing. The field was lost for the day, but
won for ages. The battle on now IS a
grand march to victory, already a tri-
zmph.
Just now there is agitation about pref
erences for candidates, but all the Re
pubIlcans named for the presidency are
worthy, and they all mean the same
thing. 1t is not a good year for favorite
sons, because there is no state essential
to Republican success. There is no
no dissatisfaction with the leaders al
ready at the front.
There is no doubt or difficulty regard
ing the position of the Republican party
On the money question. All there is
about that in the sensational newspapers
and the laudable attempt Of leaders who
strayed close 10 Populism and want TO
let themselves down easy in getting back
TO their Republican associations is, so
far as it extends to antagonlsm, purely
artificial or wholly affected The Re-
publican party is the same from the
North Pacific to the South Atlantic, ana
speaks with the same voice and sense
from Dakota to New York There are
scraps Of intolerance here and there re-
garding gold and silver, but the great
party minds its business and stands for
the measures that have the approval OF
experience.

Chairman Sol Hirsch may nave got
back at his party enemies in good style
when he appointed a Populist as secre-
tary OF his committee, but what effect
does he think such remarkable conduct
will have on the Republican party or the
prospects of its candidate? The Astorian
can tell Mr.. Hirsch that a large ma
jority Of the Republicans Of Clatsop
county regard this man Bourne as the
worst enemy the party ever had in Ore
gon, and his elevation to the secretary
ship Of the state central committee is
booked upon as a gross insult to the Re-
publicans Of the whole state. II Mr..
Simon had instigated Bourne's appoint
ment Gas, for all that is known to the
contrary, he may have been just smart
enough to do) he could not have adopted
a more successful ruse to kill the infu-
ence Of the irregular organization Of
which Mr. Hirsch is the head, and to
reconcile the better element Of the party
to the future indefinite control Of Mr.
Simon and the loyal class of Republicans
With whom, It must be admitted, he has
EEways trained.
