ALLISON OF IOWA
He Will Have a Conference at
Canton With President
Elect Mckinley.
Whether He VIII Accept a Cabi-
net Portfolio Will Then
Be Decided.
Said His Personal Preference
Would Be to Stay in
the Senate.

CLEVELAND, Jan 6-Senator Th".a
ton of Nebraska was the most prom.
nent morning caller at Windemere h
arrived in the city on an early trair
from the West and was driven directly
to the home of Mr. NJ A Hanna.
where he had long conference with
the president.elect The senator left
in the afternoon for Washington.
1t is understood that Senator Thurs.
tons mission at Windemere was pri-
marily to consider national legislation.
particularly the new tariff bill, TO dis
cuss cabinet timber to be had in the
West, and also to talk about the Cuban
question. 1t is said Mckinley and
Hanna, believing that the tariff bill to
be passed by the special session of con-
gress, should be the embodiment of
good Judgment, have decided that the
bill Of the administration shall be
drafted by master hand. That hand
will De Senator Thurston, in whose dis
cretion, Judgment and foresight Messrs,
Mckinley and Hanna both place i'm
plicit confidence
After drafting the bill, it will be
submitted to both Mckinley and Hanna
for consideration. After it leaves their
hand, it will be trusted to some in
fuential Republican congressman, close
to the administration, to introduce it
in the house, while Thurston will be
its champion in the senate. The pro-
posed bill, while representing some Of
the advanced theories of protection as
held by President Elect Mckinley, will
materially diyerge from the lines laid
down in the original Mckinley bill.
Major Mckinley will leave Cleve-
land in the morning for Canton, where
he will spend the day, returning here
IN the evening. While in Canton he
will meet Senator Allison of Iowa who
is now on his way East from his home
in Dubuque
1t is more than probable that the
question as to whether Senator Allison
will become member of the McKin.
ley cabinet will be definitely settled at
this conference. There seems to be
but little doubt that the Iowa senator
has been offered place in the McKin
ley official household, but it is said that
he is reluctant to leave the senate.
During his brief stay in Canton, the
president.elect will also be visited by
General Felix Angus OF Baltimore and
one or two other prominent men.
Upon his return to Cleveland the
president-elect and Mrs. Mckinley will
become the guests of lIr and Mrs.
Myron T. Herrick, at No. 1856 Prospect
street, where they will remain for two
or three days.
General William Osborne, secretary
of the national committee, who has
been Mr.. Hanna's guest for the last
few days, has left the city for Wash
ington to open the permanent head
quarters of the Republican national
committee, and to keep a general look
out for the inaugural preparations.

Good Lord, help us! Did any honest
person ever expect being on earth,
or in hades, would have the unblushing
cheek and devilish effrtmtery to declare
that the late administrator was "even
an economical and prudent" one?
Every sensible and honorable man,
woman and child in the land all know
the late and blacklist of all administra-
tions sent up an immoral and improvi-
dent stencil, so dense and sitting that
It would strangle q skunk from Tophet.
If six months association with Can
nibal Hanna will make Mckinley apollo
gize for Cleveland what will four years
of association with the Cannibal do?
Can any one comprehend the iniqui-
tous character of the vile brood that
dominates the words and actions OF
the peoples servants? After IAN ex-
animation of the subject discloses this
fact in every detaip' to Mr.. Mckinley
that more taxes must be piled upon
the shoulders of poverty-stricken
wealth-producers, in order to raise
more than s1,O45,oO0,ooo which it took
to run the government upon even an

the last two years! II Mckinley and

they can produce it, In less than two

rate Of interest, all the money required

crush the life out Of every damnable

prosperity that will cause the honest TO

devils giggle, such as we now have.
With honesty, and an ordinary
amount of common sense, no president
