Greeted Cordially.

Washington, March 1O.-In the general
mix-up of white and colored republicans,
it looked strange to see Senator Waltham
of Mississippi, ex-Representative Nc
Creary, and ex-senator Joe Blackburn Of
Kentucky, three pronounced southern dem
ocrats, threading their way in to see a
republican President. The call was pure
ly friendly and Senator Blackburn SEEM
ed to express the sentiments of his demo-
cratic associates when he remarked: "Mr
President, If we must have a republican
executive, l can truthfully say that
would rather see you in that position than
any other man. During my long service
in the House of Representatives and the
Senate never voted against a democratic
contestant for seat except on one occa-
sion, and that was when your seat in the
House was contested" President McKin-
ley greeted his democratic visitors cordial
ly, and invited them to come often, and
assured them that they would always be
welcome.
