HANNA's CONFIDENCE GAME.

Mark Hannas idea of a plat

which would make him Il prince
Of confidence men if he turned his
energies in that direction.
Mr.. Hanna proposes to offer the
assumption that McKinly pro
lection will create an ample reve-
nue., which will create a treasury
surplus, which viii create so much
prosperity that the people will
never think OF the currency quts-
ton.
This is pretty assumptions
which might serve as vote catch

the extraordinary theory that an

it is In favor OF religious liberty.
w. G. Burke, candidate for Superior
Judge, said that the ticket was nominated
by convention of 450 citizens, above
whom rose no shadow of religious
bigotry.
Joseph Leggett, also of the judicial
ticket. made vigorous assertions that he
was with the true Democratic party and
would stay with his friends. He d eclared
the charter to be one of the most an
democratic documents ever presented to
the suffrages of free people.
George d. Gillespie, candidate for Super

the anti-monopoly party and the one rep
resenting the people.
T. Carl Spelling, candidate for City and
County Attorney, in the course of his
speech denounced the charter as an sag

instrument, one presenting more depart
ures from the common law than the four
codes of California, and one that would
precipitate fifty years of litigation.

TWO OF A KIND.

Buckleyites and Kellyites Find
Themselves In the Same Box.
Followers of Buckley are about the
streets looking very sad at the prospects
Of hard winter and no possible chance
for chance at the public treasury. When
the Buckley ticket was denied place on
the official ballot by the Supreme Court it
killed the last hope of those politicians
for chance to fatten on the plethoric
Golfers of the City treasury; consequently
the Buckley runners are sorry that they
had not the foresight TO identify them
selves with the Junta managers, who have
the only living show for success.
In the Republican party the Kelly Ma
honeyites are IN much the same predica-
ment They feel great deal like the man
who played pedro ali summer and then
had to wear linen duster all winter The
saddest part of the whole thing was that
the adverse decision which blighted ali
their expectations was followed the next
day by rain. As one of them disconso-
lately remarked, Double misfortunes

SINGLE-BARRELED RATIFY

1t Would Have Baen Awkward for
the Populists to JOIN.
The ratification was not joint af-
fair of the Buckleyites and Populists, as
might have been expected from the sue.
cess of Buckley's fusion. At a meeting of
the Buckley candidates the other night
it was proposed to make 1t a joint affair,
but all the candidates who had got left on
the Populist Endorsement got up and
howled at the proposition. Itreally would
have been very awkward, as it was soon
realized.
Tom Egan, Senatorial candidate in the
Seventeenth, who lost the Endorsement.
declared hotly that he would not be
caught dead in the same hall with tiny ma
lodorous opponent, Sam Braunhart," and
L. Carl Spelling, who was turned down for
II. 7. Creswell in the Endorsement for
City and County Attorney, asked how it
would look for him to sit on the stage in
side his rival, ''who happened to have the
money and the positions to buy an in
dolsement from Populist convention al.
though he is a goldbug."
There is current story behind this hot
shot, whatever may be in the story.
Spelling, the Buckleyite candidate, was
certainly slated for the Endorsement up to
evening. The story which many are re-
peating is that some of Creswell's friends,
especially the Gallaghers, got in among
the delegates and accompanied their
solicitations for votes with a suspicion
that they might be appointed on the elec-
ton boards by Mr.. Creswell and so earn
$40 apiece. However this may be, Spell
ing's majority was turned into minority
in short order, and the Rainey candidate
got the Endorsement.

and wholly bolted the Buckley camp. and
for the time is out in the cold as an inde-
pendent citizen.

senate was treated to one OF Senator
Vests Characteristic speeches. He ar
raigned the supreme court for the In
come tax decision; he laid the responsl-
b!Nty for the lack OF revenue ut their
door when they exempted the "sordld
wealth OF the land" from taxation; he
contrasted the records Of the present
and the past administrations; he threw
some HIGHT upon heretofore unknown
chapters in the history OF the Mckinley
law: he denounced the financial depen-
dence OF this country and OF others up
on the fn0nied influence; he attacked
the President and the secretary OF the
treasury for their proposition to retire
the ereenbacks and place the circula-
lion In the hands oEthe national banks;
6uoted Secretary Carlisle against him
self. and In conclusion, declared that
the conflict between bi-metallism and
the gold standard was irrcpressible, and
that the sooner It was decided the bet

vute life.

CONSIDERING RECOGNITION
OF the Cuban Insurgents-strong senti-
ment In Their Favor.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-several
members OF the house consulted the
leaders to-day regarding the introduce
tIon OF resolutions for the recognition OF
the insurgents OF Cuba as belligerents.
Chairman Hit, OF the committee on for
eign affairs, said that he had no objec-
tion TO the Introduction OF resolutions
on the subject, although resolutions
covering every phase OF the question
had been introduced and were now be-
fore the committee on foreign anatrs,
which was preparing a report.
Some Of the members who consulted
Speaker Reed concerning immediate
consideration OF q resolution for recos-
milton OF the Cuban insurgents were In
formed that the matter was one OF SO
much Importance that It was well to
have 1t thoroughly considered IN COM
mtttee. 1t is quite likely that the Gu
ban question will not come up for dis
cusslon until the committee on foreign
affairs makes report.
1t Is learned that the chief purpose OF
the leaders OF the Cuban revolutionary
party in the United States in coming to
Washington to-day was 10 push Ytgor-
ously the movement to secure recoGni-
tion OF the revolutionlsts by this gov
crnment. They made to Secretary OIL
ney brief but forcIblc presentation OF
the claims OF the insurgents to recogni-
ton. In addition they presented TO the
secretary great number OF documents
bearing upon the origin, abuses, eondi-
tIons and present status OF the Cuban
uprising, collected from official ar
chIvcs and unofficial sources.
There Is n strong sentiment In the
house, which has been advanced by the
recent successes OF the cubnns, that
this government should do all IN us
power consistent with international
usagcs TO assist the patriots, Mr.. Sui
ger and several other members are en-
denyoring to assist the cause In Con-

HAVANA SURROUNDED

HAVANA, Jan. 7.-The insurgents
are still in the vicinity Of Havana, but
their movements are not of sufficient
Importance to chronicle In detail. The
number OF the insurgents at Managua
and Galabnzar, fourteen miles from this
city, has been increased; but, i Is not
believed that Havann itself Will be at

The insurgents have burned a mixed
train from Cardenas, near Banaguizs
and the Spaniards claim that they vio-

VINO were among the passengers.
Railroad communication in the prov
ince Of Matanzas is being resumed.
trains are arriving on time at Lomonar,
Sagua, Cardenas and Matanzas.
The iasurgent band commanded by
Znyas was reported at different times
yesterday at Caimato, Guayabal, Hoyo
Colorado and Punta Bravo, showing
that he followed pretty closely the line
between the provinces OF Pinar del Rio
and Havana up to the extreme north
eastern portion OF Pinar del Rio.

OF the territory surrounding Havana
continues and apparently II Is not pos
