=. - HAS ELKINS BEEN CALLED?
Special to the Register.

Special 20 the Register.
Washington, D. c., May 25.-The re-
port that Senator Elkins was about 10
undertake a pilgrimage TO Canton ana
make formal profession OF faith ana
allegiance to Mckinley caused no sur
prise and little comment here. HAD II
come earlier. before Senator Quay an
nounced his purpose of going to canton,
it would have occasioned quite a stir IN
Republican circles, although even then
there would have been nothing IKE
the attention directed TO it which
Quay's visit has attracted. At the be-
ginning of the contest for the nominal
ton, Senator Elkins was geerally reck-
oned as one OF the anti-McKinley COM
bine, though ne never publicly TOOK
much of a part in the councils OF the
opposition bosses. But he was in the
favorite son movement and undouDt-
edly started out with the idea of having
the Wesl Virginia delegates committed
to himself West Virginia being still
an exceedingly doubtful State so far as
the Republicans are concerned, Mr.. Ell
kins was not in position TO put on
the screws and play the boss in his party
there to anything like the extent that
Quay did in Pennsylvania and Plat IN
New York. He had to content himselI
with Soft-voiced suggestions sauced
with alluring smiles in the matter or
getting Endorsements of himself as
Presidential candidate, instead OF Is
suing his orders and insisting to his
lieutenants that they be carried out,
in the manner of Quay and Plat. The
suggestions and smiles did not go with
the West Virginia Republicans to any
great extent, and so it came about that
Mr.. Elkins never cut much of figure
in "favorite sons" circles nor in the
bosses combine. West Virginia, any
way. is a small State with only twelve
votes in the national convention, when
caused the other members OF the COM
bine to be less solicitous about Mr.. Ell
kins' adhesion to their cause than they
would have been had he at his back a
larger State with thirty or forty dele
gates. Thus Mr.. Elkins drifted away
/ by himself. which was perhaps FORUM
ATE for him in the light of events, now
that he has to go to Canton and give IN
| his formal allegiance to William the
! Silent. He will have no boastful anti
Mckinley remarks TO forget, no I'M
| pleasant interviews 10 explain away.
He can approach the sedate and silent
presence with all his genial self-con1l-
| dence about him and talk finance" or
anything else he deems wise and timely
with hardly a reproving twinge in his
tender and sensitive conscience. All
of which will no doubt cause the Sena-
tor to rejoice that he never did cut
much of a figure in the favorite son
movement, and that ne is a Christian
gentleman who has found 1T expedient
in politics as in business to keep his
tongue from bitterness, even if he feels
| il in his heart.

THE PROHIBITI0NISTS.
Prospects Are Good fora Bitter Fight Over
the Financial Question.

the Financial question:
Pittsburg. Pa, May 25.-As the time
for the National Prohibition convention
approaches the prospect for bitter
fight over the money plank of the plat
form increases. Samuel Dickie, chair
man of the national central committee
who has attended every national con-
vention since the Prohibition party
started. said to-day that he had never
before seen the lines so sharply drawn
upon any question in the party. Tt
adopt a free silver plank he believes
will cost the party 100000 votes at the
election. On the other hand, eX-Gov'
ernor John P. 81. John, of Kansas, be-
lieyes that the adoption of free silver
plank together with the planks for gov
eminent ownership OF railroads anC
telegraph lines and anti-monopoly vii
add 10000 votes to the party strength
if not secure the election of third party
president.
IF Mckinley is nominated at st
Louis, and if the Democracy adopt q
gold standard plank at Chicago, Their
the Prohibition candidate for presiden
will stand a good chance for election
If we adopt a free silver plank" hi
said.
AS yet the number of delegates who
have arrived is so limited that it canno
be told with any degree of accuracy wht
will win, but those who are here have
radical opinions for one side or the
other. They are out for fight.
