II WIS high time that the Capital OF
tho nation should make its influence felt
in national affairs, and lie warmly in
dorstd the Mckinley Hobart Club for the
part ii was playing to that end. Eesolu-
tioas would not do: what was wanted was
work eand other material aid The ma
tionaF committee. he was sure, was meet
ing with the approval of the people, and it
had certainly done nothing to be ashamed
OF. He called attention to the methods of
Bryan and Mckinley, the former tramp!ng
around the country making rear platform
speeches full OF nonsense. and the latter
recaiv-tng deputations OF old soldiers and
vortiugmen at home.
Col. Parker made n lot OF fun OF BRYAN

result that the committee had thought
best after that to call him -off, and send
him into the country for repairs Col

OF the Chicago platform, the money plank,
the insult TO the Supreme Court and some
others. and ripped them up from the Re
publican points OF view. He closed with
the assurance that with work and party
