He was probably the most prominent
in the State and WAS
the candidate OF that party for the
Vice Presidency in 1884. He was
seventy one years of age and was
member of the House of Delegates
from Somerset county, having been
elected as a Wing. Apart from his
proclivities he was a Re
publican.

ferring to the opening of the campaign

things have come to such pass Ill

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IL. That Mr.. Mckinley
Is being duped by the governmnet of Spain is
the opinion of nearly everybody, except Mr..
Mckinley and the members of his cabinet.
Spain is playing for time and plenty of it,and
it is likely to get it too, unless this country
rudely awakens the administration from its
or cut bait 1t is difficult to find anfintelllgcnt
person who does not believe that the change OF
ministry in Spain was brought about solely for
the purpose of securing delay in replying to
the proposition submitted by the United States
and if the game worked well then, there is no
reason that it will not be worked again, or at
any rate attempted, when Minister Woodford
tries to prod the new ministry for Il reply,
Spain is also trying to secure the support OF
the bread and butter brigade in this country
by limiting at Al commercial monopoly to be
granted us as soon us peace is restored to Cuba
under the new home rule scheme. These
things may catch Mr.. Mckinley, but they do
not catch those who know the actual situation
i'll Cuba. Spain will have nothing to do with the
commerce of Cuba when there is Il restoration
of business and trade on the island, because its
hold upon the island will be gone. Mr.. Nc
Kinley cannot change the ultimate result in
Cuba, but he can hurry up matters, if so dis
posed. If he allows Spain to pull the wool
over his eyes by the recall of Butcher Wcylcr,
and indefinite talk about Home Rule conces-
sions to the Cubans, which every school boy in
the United States knows will not be acct pied,
he will simply lose great opportunity to
please the people of this country, regardless of
party. He probably has not forgotten how
difficult it was to prevent Congress forcin
this issue last spring. 1t will be impossible, if
nothing has been done by the time Congress re
assemblies in December.
The single gold standard advocates cOmp0s-
ing the so-called monetary conference, which
has reassembled in Washington alter Il recess,
are, perhaps unconsciously, doing the silver
men a great favor by trying to force the admin
istration into the advocacy ofa financial bill
intended to perpetuate the single gold standard
on the country, at the coming session of Con-
gress. Nothing would please the silver men
50 well as to see this issue forced to the front
by au attempt to jam legislation through Con-
gress. Without lhe active assistance ofthe adj
mnistration, it cannot be done. Left to him
self, Mr.. Mckinley would let the financial
question severely alone, but with this commits
sion hammering away ut him from the outside
and Secretary Gage from the inside, he may
give in and recommend financial legislation in
mis- annual message to Congress. If the sup
port of Car Reed be secured, any sort of a bill
can be passed by the House, but that is where
it will stop The silver men command the sit
uati9n in the Sena lie, and nothing which they
oppose can get through that body.
L
wooden Indian to listen to the announcement
that Mr.. Mckinley is going to Ohio to vote,
but is in doubt as to whether he will accept
either of the several invitations that have been
extended to him to make speech in the State
previous to the election, when it is well known
thst Boss Hanna billed him weeks ago for a
speech in Cincinnati.

Fools rush in'' etc. There has been more or
less comment in Washington on the fact that
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, was the only Repub-
licau OF national prominence who could be ill.,
duced to take part il the Republican Mass
meeting in New York, held to ratify the nOmI-
nation OF Ex-Secretary Tracy by Boss Platt
and though Tracy is his personal friend and
was member of his abinet; Chauncey Depew
conveniently managed TO have other engage
mentS and Gar Reed politely refused to 90.
This means that these men are "on to- the
Platt-Mckinley game and are too smart to
get themselves mixed I'D in it, Why Foraker
went to New York is one of the hard things TO
answer. After his shabby treatment in ohio
by Boss Hanna, he was probably tiattered
when Boss Patt asked him to speak at the
New YORK meeting and accepted the invita-
ton OFT hand.
