read as follows.
"The oath of office must be taken

Major Mckinley has always
stood to the American people and
to the world as the great champion
Of the American system of protec
ton. 1t is TO his Identification
with the cause of protection that
he owes his nomination and his
election. His Identification with
the protective tariff system has
been recognized quite as much by
his supporters. To our free trade
friends "McKinleyism" and pro-
lection have long been synony
nous terms, and one of their oft
repeated charges made in dispar-
agement of Major Mckinley, has
been that he was a man of one idea
and that idea the tariff. Now GER
tain of these gentleman come for
ward with the suggestion that
Burke Cochran be given place in
McKinley's cabinet, because, for
sooth, some anti silver free traders
helped to swell Major McKinley's
majorities. The suggestion is GER
tainiy an evidence OF no lack OF
"nerve" on the part of those sug-
costing it. Just think of it for a
moment Burke Cochran, the most
eloquent advocate of free trade in
the congress that passed the Wilson
German bill to replace the McKin-
bill, in President McKinley's cab
inetl Certainitis that our friends,
the free traders will never fail to
secure things for want of asking,
though perhaps they may fail to
secure some things in spite of ask
ing such as prosperity under pro-
lection, for instances LEX.

The organization of the legisla-
ture at noon yesterday was a dis
tinct surprise to the public. II
has been generally understood that
no agreement couldg be arrived at
IN time and the WORT had gone out
that both houses would meet and
adjourn without effecting an organ
ization. This was desired also by
some of the candidates for senator
who did not wish to have balloting
begin until two weeks from today.
The law provides that the houses
shall ballot for senator on the Sec
ond Tuesday after organization,
and the voting will, therefore, be-
gin on the 18th.
The arrangement under which
the populists were entirely shut
out from participation in the or
ganization was effected only a short
time before the hour for meeting.
The populists and democrats were
unable to get together, the latter in
sisting on their original demands
and the populists refusing to Yield
to them. During the morning the
had been given 10 under
stand that if they would present a
list OF candidates for attaches the
silver republicans would support
them. 1t was after II o'clock
when the silver republicans were
advised that the democrats had |
abandoned negotiations with the
and would accept the of
Ter made.
