The committee will meet in this city Wednes-
day of this week.
Il am now preparing for the fight" Mr..
Hapna said to-day, with the air of a man who
is confident of winning prospective battle.
"for there is going to be fight. and hot one
at that We think that the Western and South
ern States are debatable ground. and we shall

kotas shall go Republican; Nebraska should be
Republican, and the same is true of Alabama
mind as to the political condition Of the people
of the border States. but think we have fight
ing chance there.
s'In the campaign there more issues than
the tariff and the money questions, which are
OF fully as much moment as the other two and
which. If anything, concern the maintenance Of
our Government more than the two issues which
now hold the public mind. I refer particularly
to the stability Of our judicial system which Is
threatened by the Democratic party. In their
platform Is plank which contends that The
present system of selecting Judges of the Su,
preme Court he swept away. That court should
be surrounded with the greatest protection. In
order to keep 1t pure and untanted and the
selection of Judges should not be settled by
sudden wave, a sudden excitement OF the peo-
ple hysteria Of the masses-that is good ex-
pre ,sion Frequently the people are swayed by
sentiments Of monetary duration. Ihey are
wrought up a high pitch and. without giving
the matter sober second thought act. On the
morrow they are sorry for their course of ac-
tion. but then 1t is too late. The Supreme
Court must be guarded, as on Its STABILITY de-
pends the soundness OF our Government

FOR A MONSTER MEETING.
REPUBLICANS WILL GATHER ON FRIDAY
EVENING. SEPTEMBER ~.

No WORD FROM SPEAKER REED-THE CAM
p,,cv COMMITTEE HAMMERED BY LACK OF
INTEREST DIE TO OvERCONFlDENCE'
The Executive Committee OF the Republican
Campaign Committee Of Kings County heiu
meeting at the campaign headquarters last hsh'
at which il was decided that the opening mass
meeting of the campaign will he held on froas
evening. September - No reply has been re-
ceived from Speaker Reed, in answer to many
invitations that have been sent to him to open
the Brooklyn canvass. Chairman Erenher ana
his colleagues are still confident that the Speak
or will come TO Brooklyn. but they are somewhat
disturbed over his failure TO reply TO the mes
sages sent to him. At last nights meeting the
committee decided to have their big meeting
ON September -. whether Mr. Reed could attend
or not II the Speaker cannot fill that date
another speaker of National reputation Will he
secured.
The managers of the Brooklyn campaign say
that this will be of the most difflcult nghts
they have ever entered. They are handicapped
at home by the tendency Of the party workers to
git in their offices and figure out a tremendous
majority for Mckinley in Kings County without
aiding to roll up the majority by doing the work
which they should share in. The most absolute
confidence in McKiney's ability to carry the
State has settled down upon the hard workers of
past years with disastrous results at headquar-
tiers Mr.. BrenIer says that unless TINS feeing
IS overcome il will be almost impossible Tor nm
10 carry on anything like a campaign.
Mr. Bremen has also found much dlfhcuity IN
securing proper attention from the State and
National Committees All the best speakers
have been sent into the Western States. While
the Brooklyn men recognize the fact that the
West is the main battle ground and believe that
they should have little assistance at the begin
ming of the campaign. to say the least.
There is a possibility that MI heed may an
swer his invitations to-day but Mr.. Bremen has
announced that the big meeting will be held on
September % with Mr.. Reed or without MI.
