BY Southern Associated Press.


Washington, June 12.-Aside from MAX
ing a call at the white house to-day to
take formal farewell of President Cleve-
land upon the close of congress, and
another at the residence of Representa-
tive Hit of Illinois, who has been i'll for
some time, Speaker Reed remained at
the Shoreham in constant telegraphic
communication with his friends and mana
gers at St. Louis. He had no further
comments to make respecting Mr.. Man
ley's celebrated statement of last night,
which was prepared in response to Mr..
Reeds telegram of inquiry sent yester-
day as to the meaning of his original
statement which caused a sensation.
Friends Of the speaker in st. Louis wired
him that they believed Mr.. Manley became
panic stricken at the demonstration made
by the partisans of Mckinley at the first
meeting of the national committee, and
Mr.. Manley's regret over his action salts
fed them that he didn't mean it,"
The assertion made by Mr.. Manley and
Murray Crane, the latter of Massachu-
sets, at st. Louis, that the speaker would
not under any condition, accept the nom
nation for the vice presidency was re-
iterated by his friends in Washington, so
that there need be no misunderstanding
on that point.
The action of the national committee
in throwing out Reed delegates, especially
those from Louisiana, was commented on
unnecessary If Mckinley had a majority
of the convention and indefensable in
any view. They were advised that the
anti McK inley men from Texas claiming
to be delegates would probably meet the
fate of their Louisiana colleagues.

NO PREDICTIONS GOOD.

AS for the election let 1t be said that
no race is won short of the end of the
race. The country is large; there are
always political forces ar work which
the discussion of one issue and the
personality of no one candidate can
reach. AS Washington feared, we al
ways to have more or less sectional d.
vision and difference, no matter how
much the political wiseacres disparage
it.
Many men have come near the presi-
dency without getting it. Mr.. Joseph
NJ. Rodgers has contributed to the
North American Review an analytical
study of presidential elections, with
the view OF demonstrating the uncer-
tainty Of these elections and the COM
parative worthleSsness OF the predic-
tons of political wiseacres.
In 1879 Washington was unanimous
" chosen president, but only ten states
were represented in the college, Rhode
Island, New York, and North Carolina
not being qualified, and in 1892 he re-
ceived the votes Of 132 electors from
fifteen states, Maryland and Vermont
not voting. The canvass of 1896 was
an exciting one because Of the dislike
Of some OF the party leaders to John
Adams. the Federalist candidate. AT
that time the electors simply voted for
two persons, without naming either for
president or vice president the one
having the majority OF votes being
declared elected president The con-
spiracy against Adams was to get the
majority OF Pinckney OF South Caro-
lima, ostensihly the candidate for vice
president, and thus give him first place
Adams discovered the plot. and his
New England friends thwarted il by
scattering the votes for second place.
by which Pinckney lost the first. which
be would have had IL al the FederalLsts
had voted for him.
In 1910 the same game was tried
again by the disafected Federalists
against Adams. They placed another
Pinckney ia the field for vice president
The actual result was a tie between
jefferson and Burr, each having T3
votes. instead OF y tie between Jeffer-
son and PickGey.. which would have
been the case had the Federalist plans
gone through. The election went into
the house. each state casting one vote.
on the thlrJy-sixth ballot the contest
was decided for jefferson BY 4 number

IF TELLER BOLTS.

From all appearances Mr.. Teller with
his following will be forced out OF the
Republican convention by an extreme
gold plank. When he goes protective
tariff is endangered. This is the plain
truth of the matter and nothing is TO
be gained by concealing the truth If
Teller goes out the Republicans Of the
nation will come to hate him within a
month, for their victory, then, must
be most overwhelming or it will not be
a protective tariff victory at all.
There is some dispute as to just what
Teller's strength is. 1t is disputed that
the whole western half of the United
States. west of Kansas will follow him.
Utah it is said is divided, as is Wyom-
ing and Montana and California, IL Is
asserted, will remain in the party.
Conceding this, Teller can take out Of
the Republican party sufficient num-
Der of states to join them with the
south and take complete silver posses
sion Of the United States senate. This
he can do in the absence of an over
whelming and general Republican vic
tory. The constitutional composition
of the United States senate is such
that the Republicans might carry every
northern state east of Colorado unani-
mously and yet in losing all the south
ern and western states by one each
lose the United States senate. 1t will
then behoove the Republicans for the
sake of protective tariff to carry the
legislatures of many southern states
and western states as well as to hold
the northern states perfectly solid and
complete if a protective tariff is to be
a contamination.
This is in all probability the plan
fixed upon by the Republicans at st
Louis. Teller and his crowd are to
allowed to go if they insist. and the
war will be carried into Kentucky,
Tennessee. Maryland, West Virginia,
Kansas. Nebraska, North Dakota and
South Dakota. With n Republican
senator from Kentucky, another from
Maryland, another from Missouri, a
gold standard man from Kansas IN
place of PETER. a protective tariff is
assured. Without them a protective
tariff may be impossible.
