would think that as the Republicans had
saved the country once in November
that they would leave we'll enough alone

country has been saved the politicians
desire to save themselves, and the only
way to do that is to keep close watch
upon the president-eleet, so that he may

visiting Mckinley and Cleveland, and it
seems neither gave him any encourage

nothing on account of his politics, and
as for Mckinley he: needs no longer the

1t seems most likely that the following
will compose the cabinet of President
Mckinley:
Secretary Of state, Senator Sherman;
secretary of war, r. A. Alger, of Michi-

of Massachusetts,; secretary of the inte-
