r,,n,straton, it is safe TO assert that none OF
,hsr have becn built upon anything resem-
Ming an authoritative announcement from
Major Mckinley or those who are closest to the

marked reticence upon the suggestions as to the

Major McKiney's advices from Texas are OF a
most satisfactory character. They indicate an
Increase in the Republican vote IN the state or
over 100 per cent In Navarro County. the
home Of Roger Q. Mills. the tariff reformer. Major
Mckinley secured plurality Of I'D votes. That
county has heretofore been overwhelmingly
Democratic.
