:. Yes." responded he, III stayed briefly

the conversation then turned upon the
all absorbing topic of our Presidential
canvass; where

are not pooketedwith the ease with which
Diaz triennially performs that feat.
Mr.. Hale said he came from Mexico
through Ell Paso, leaving the Mexican
Central at that point and coming By the
Santa Fe route to Chicago, and thence
straight homo. Through the Southwes t
and West he saw many political man, and
happened to strike that section at just
the time when the Mckinley successes
were coming in. Mr.. Hale said that
while many delegates in the West and
South were being elected favorable to
Mr.. Mckinley, the rest of the Republican
| party is naturally uniting against his
| candidacy I'm my opinion said he,
the result Is very likely to be that while
| Mckinley will secure many delegates,
| he will
SET THE CURRENT
of the rest OF the party decidedly against
his candidacy, and the result is likely to
be that there will be union of the field
| against him. When this is made, Mr.
Reed seems mere likely to reap the re-
| suits of this union than anyone else.
| There is a thorough appreciation every
where of the great ability of MIR. Reed,
as man and a Republican, and l find
that throughout the West and South there
Is deep settled conviction among the
more thoughtful men of the Republican
party that
REED is THE LOGICAL NOMINEE
of the party. Mr.. Mckinley has got his
G reat strength at this time largely from
the fact that his name is coupled with the
Mckinley bill, and from the fact that Re-
publicaDS have a sentiment about it, and
associate the name of Mckinley with the
great triumph which the Republican par-
ty is to have in the next election. In a
word, the result is likely to be Mckinley
against the field, with the field. as past
conventions show, a probable winner;
and Mr.. Reed seems most likely to repre-
sent the field, the great mass of the par
ty, and to be its candidate than any 9th
or man.

Notes About Pride,s Bridge.

The rain Of Thursday caused the Pre-
sumpscot at Pride's bridge to rise nearly
six feet. Bennett, the wharf builder,
sent crew of men up there yesterday
p,orning to work on the wharf that is
being built by the Portland Street Rail
way company, but the water was so high
that they were unable to work. Had the
rain continued for another day there
would have been another freshet. A
man who has crossed the river about
twice day for the last fifteen years said
yesterday that the river rises for about
four hours after severe rainstorm and
then stops.
Work on the abutmen is of the bridge
will begin the first of next week. The
contract for the masonry will probably
be awarded today.
Commissioner Fernald returned yester-
day from Boston, where he had visited
the Boston Bridge company, on business
connected with the bridge. Work has
already begun upon it.
