PRlTcHARD AND THE CABINET
Says He Has Made no Agreement With
Mckinley About 1t.

Washington, March 3O.-Senator
Pritehard returned to the city this
afternoon from North Carolina, where
he has been engaged in court trying
cases for some time past. He said to
a Star reporter this afternoon that he
would take up tomorrow the matter
of the resolutions recently passed by
the Senate directing the committee on
Civil Service and Retrenchment, of
which he is chairman, to investigate
the application of the civil service law
to the government printing office, and
he hoped to proceed speedily with the
inquiry.
He further said that the stories that
were printed during his absence that
it had been arranged between him
and Ex-Governor Mckinley that, in case
the latter were nominated and elected
President, the South should receive
two cabinet positions, of which Mr..
Pritchard was to have one, were false.
"There is absolutely no truth what
ever in that rumor" said the Senator.
There has never been a word passed
between Mr.. Mckinley and myself
with reference to the South and the
cabinet. AS for me, am candidate
for the Senate. My ambition is to sue
ceed myself, and / have no aspirations
for the cabinet. l wish you would
make this correction in very plain
terms as the report is entirely un-
founded"

SURPRISES EXPECTED.

Conservative Republicans admit that
Bryan has made II gain of 1900 votes by
his late attack upon them in their strong
hold ut Chicago, and if his gains are so
apparent, there is no knowing what
damage he has done to them. 1t seems
to be taken for granted out West that
the coming election is to he one of great
surprises \ Mckinley button, many
think, does not by any means Indicate a
Mckinley vote. Somehow or other, the
idea has gone abroad that many of the
employers of labor will discharge those
who support Bryan, aud consequently it
is believed that many workingmen are
keeping their own counsel, but will vote
for Bryan all the same on next Tuesday.
a story is going the rounds which,
general feeling on this subject. An Illi-
nois firm, employing over 1000 men,
anxious to get Il poll of their employees to
sec the trend of opinion among the work
ingmcn, so the story goes, put up Il Nc
Kinley ballot box and Bryan box, and
asked the employees to show their prefer
cnccs by depositing their votes in one or
the other boxes. The men were assured
that no ntimation was intended. and
that no one would he 'spottcd,n or would
lose his position because of his preference
in either direction. With this UNDER
standing the vote WAS accordingly taken,
and when the boxes were opened it was
found that there We're only 81 ballots i'll
the Bryan box; while in the one set apart
for the Republican candidate for presi-
dent were 800 ballots for Mckinley and
ZOO marked for Bryan.
If this story is true, the Bryan men
were evidently afraid of ''spotters.n and
hence there is no knowing how the ma.
jority of workinomen of Illinois. or per-
haps of any other States, will vote The
Republicans say surprises may be ex-
pected, and Democrats express the same
opinion. The Australian system, now
in use i'll most Of the States, makes per-
fectly secret ballot easily possible where
the election laws are honestly admins
tered, and, of course, if coercion is feared
by any class, the voters OF that class will
not make their intentions known before
the election.
