With the republicans, in some of the
states whore presidential candidates
have bIossomcd out. things at the be-
ginning Of February are found 10 be
in a snarling way. Ohio's quarrel was
thoroughly aired last week; II IS clear
that Governor Mckinley will have TO
fight for whatever home strength he
gocures. Foraker has his senatorship
in his inside pocket-he is not happy
unless he is fighting. and Mckinley is
his autipathy.
Put New York is UNNECESSARILY
worse off than Ohio Mr.. Platts en-
gineoring Of Governor Morton's canvass
has precipitated the most ill-natured
quarrel that politics has developed in
recent years. The anti-Platt opposi-
ton i'm several inland districts Of New
York is pretty strong, but with that
sort Of hostility Mr.. Plat is not
afraid TO cope; already he has forced
Mr.. Fassett's district out Of the fight
But IL is not so easy TO whip the OBJ
steperous in the city and county o.
New York into line.
In recent criticism Of the anu-Plat
element on Manhattan island Plat
made several very broad statement
for which he has been vigorously calle'
down. lie was bitter in his comment
on Mayor Strong's administration, in
ferring that incident 10 il is create

many times. The odd sequel is tina
Mayor Strong has issued notice tina
he will pay Plat $500 apiece for tn
proofs on a series OF. charges he. Plat
has made.
Meanwhile, Parkhurst is after Plat

recovery.
The standard cannot refrain from
po!n;ing the important moral which is
an incident TO this affair. Mr.. Hosford

Springfield, the undertaking OF some Oh

The idea was that Illinois ought TO

With all its serious business involv-
ing silver. foreign relations and the
like. the senate at Washington man
aged to get a little fun out of last
weeks proceedings. On Monday Sec
rotary Morton's seed department was
a two-hour topic-the Congressional
Record gives a report of an amusing
talk by Senator George, Of Mississippi
Mr.. Hansbrough has been bent on
taking Secretary Morton TO task be-
cause he is not lavish in the distribu-
ton of seeds, high priced goods pre-
ferred. Mr. Morton has saved thou
sands of dollars by departing in this
matter from the reckless policy OF MS
predecessor. In a message to the Fifty
third congress, the president showed
how tens and even hundreds of thou
sands of money had been squandered
in the useless purchase and distribu-
ton of seeds.
Talking to the question, last Mon
day, Senator George was entertaining

him for not buying Chinese primrose
