| an off year with the republicans, but We
would have won anyhow had it not been
| for extensive frauds.
The democrats of kentucky will keen
| free silver to the front as an issue, and in
the end Will be more badly defeated than
ever before
DIR. Hunter also denounced the election
as fraudulent. The result doesn't discour-

The democrats succeeded by the most

VIII Not Bolt Hanna.
Ex-senator B. K. Bruce who is thought
to stand good chance to become register
OF the treasury to succeed J. Fount Till
| man, was at the White House today The
eX-Mississippian has just returned from
Ohio, having spent some time prior to the
election stumping for the republican ticket.
Il am surprised at the absurd talk about
Senator Hanna not succeeding himself said
MIR. Bruce. Il believe know something of
Ohio. l was educated i'm that state and
married in Cleveland ! have done political
work there for years. If / were a betting
man l would wager 10 to l that Senator
Hanna is reelected without trouble. There
is no responsible talk in Ohio about knit
ing him. The fact is that these stories
start in democratic newspapers They
frighten republicans at a distance but
scare nobody at home. There is no uneasi-
ness among the friends Of Senator Hanna
over the situation

A Hot Fight Over Texas Offices.
National Committeeman Grant of Texas
arrived in the city this morning He will
be in red hot fight to be waged at the
White House over the distribution of pa
tronage in Texas. State Chairman Green is
tod fn aa1, I,ao
principal opponent of Mr.. Grant They
have never been able to reach an under
standing, and the fight between them goes
on with unabated bitterness.
Ihere are three good places to be filled
in Texas by the President so soon as he
can get to work upon the papers. They are
the collectorShip of customs at FL Pas,
the marshalship of the western district OF
the state, and the internal revenue col,ec-
torship of the third district 1t is under
stood that the hottest fight will be over
the latter position. Mr.. Grant has recon-
mended G. N. Ferguson for the position
while the choice of Mr.. Green is said 10 be
Thad. Bell For the Ell Paso position the
recommendation of Mr.. Grant is Robert F.
Campbell, unique figure in Texas politics
and for the rnarshalship John B. Walters
Mr. Grant would probably have undisputed
sway IN Texas appointments If Mr. Green
mad belonged to any of the anti-McKinley
ItctloHS, but the state chairman. who is a
SoE of Hetty Green, was an ardent sun
porter of the Mckinley faction. He is also
i strong man. possessing means and an:bi-
tion. His mother Is said 10 be willing TO
give him more money for his political am
pitlons than Tor anything else.
senator Wolcott Coming,
Senator Wolcott has notified the Presi
dent that he will be in the city the first
of next week and will call at the White
House to relate his experiences in behalf
of bimetallism in Europe. The senator is
expected to have a long chat with the
President and to relate the situation more
clearly than it has ever been given before
What the senator may say will probably
be revealed in the message of the Presi-
dent to Congress, as the President win |
almost certainly comment on the subject of
international bimetallism. |
Despite the announcement of the Presi-
dent that he wants some time to write his
message and will be unable to see many
callers, the waiting room at the White
House was literally filled today. |
Relief for AlaslSans.
The President is much concerned over the |
representations that many persons are in
etc condition in AlaSl.o a,a a.
