The event Of last week in
Washington was the delivery
of the promised speech OF Sen

House bond bill, with the Sen

really it was merely n brutal,

President. the administra.

rarely ever been made in the

si'a'in'ra of the speech can
be conveyed by the state.

Some Of the friends of the
other republican candidates
in Congress, are not feeling
as klndly toward Mckinley
as they might. This ia Ow-
ing to news which has reached
them from their homes, con-
cerning McKinley's attempts
to make deals with the sup
porters Of other candidates.
These attempts are being
made through personal let
ters, written by Mckinley,
authorizing the bearers Of
them to speak his name and
pledging himself to carry out
any pledges made by them.
Among the states in which
these Mckinley confidential
agents have been trying to
work is Minnesota. Iowa, N.
Y, and several of the New
England states. 4 hint has
been sent to Mckinley to the
effect that il he doesn't stop
this sort Of business the 9th.

he may during the next two
years devote his entire a.
tention to getting Maryland
back into the democratic

nelongs, and that after he
has succeeded in that task he
