Referring to the reprint by the Senate of
a report made In the House in 1854 by
Henry Winter Davis of Maryland, Repre-
sentative Mccormick of New York said:
my acquaintance with Henry Winter Davis
Eegan in a singular way. In 1852 mass
meeting of the friends of Scott and Gra-
ham, the whig candidates for President and
Vice President Of the United States, was
held at Niagara Falls, the nearest Ameri-
can village to Lundy's Lane, the battlefield
where Scott had distinguished himself in
1914. As a young man, ardent in the politi-
cal faith held by my father. who idolized
Henry Clay, I determined to attend the
meeting and to visit Lundy's Lane Arriv-
ing at Niagara early in the day, 1 secured
room at the International Hotel, then
opened, although hardly completed. Going
to the open-air meeting, which was a great
gathering Of people from Buffalo and, in
deed, from all parts OF the state, ! was
much impressed with an eloquent and tell
ing speech from polished orator, whose
me Was not heard by the crowd and
whom no one seemed to know.
Late In the evening, at the hotel, the
orator, whom l at once recognized, was
telling a clerk that. while he had come all
the way from Maryland by invitation no
room had been engaged for him and he
could not find place to sleep. I told him
that had good room, and would be glad
to share my bed with him, If he could do
no better. He promptly accepted my offer.
I'd. although at first we were somewhss
disturbed by the roar OF the cataract, we
were sufficiently fatigued to soon fan
esleep and have a restful night. In this
strange way ! met Her ry Winter Davis.
and an acquaintance began which I much
joyed and valued. Mr. Dayis was q re-
markable man. and his death, at q compare

What is Said to Have Influenced Gen.
eral Alger's Selection.
HANNA'S WAY TO THE SENATE CLEAR
Representative Hunter of Kentucky
Now a Possibility.
NJ a RY LA Nd HAS HOPE

The selection of General Alger as Secre-
tary of War is regarded as :nsuring the
appointment of Mr.. Hanna to the Senate.
General Ayers selection is attributed to
the Foraker-Bushnell influence, and II is
said that the appointment of Mr.. Hanna
was held to be contingent upon this Sc
lection. General Alger is friend of For
aker's, and the unfriendlness that has
existed between Senator Sherman and Gen
eral Alger up to a recent date was the cut
growth of General Alger's antagonism to
Sherman's presidential ambition. General
Alger entered into combination at the
national convention in Chicago when Har-
rison Was first nominated to defeat Sher-
man, and used the name of Foraker for
Vice President.
1t is understood now that both Foraker
and Bushnell insisted on Gen Alger being
made Secretary of War, anu that IL was to
force this selection upon Mr.. Mckinley
that the show of opposition to Mr.. Hannas
succeeding Sherman in the Senate was
made by the Foraker people The selec-
tion OF Gen. Alger is. therefore. thought

Effect of GoH's Declinatfon.
The statement that Judge Gof has de-
clined the attorney generalship is credited
and there is a great scramble among south

latlon in the cabinet. 1t Is said that Mr..
Mckinley would prefer to have Mr. Han
son or Georgia in his cabinet but political
pOIlcy suggests the selection of a man
nom one of the border southern states
which the republicans may have some hope
OF carrying in the future. 1t is urged for
political reasons that the southern member
OF the cabinet should come from MARYLAND
West Virginia or Kentucky.
The Maryland people have had a belief
that Judge Gof the only one who
stood in the way of Judge Gary of Mary
land going into the cabinet and thew think
now that Gary will be appointed There
is, however, secret opposition to this Sc
Iectlon which may be sufficient to defeat it,
Mr. Hunter May BE Selected

Is said that Governor Bradley would not
object TO Hunters going into the cabinet
and that If the appointment were made he
would call an extra session Of the legisla-
tUre to elect a republican to succeed
