.pselal Corresponding Leader

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. l4.-Mr.
has be n gett ng some very
bad advice concerning the recent race
trouble In North and South Carolina
but he has been wiss enough not TO
accept IL, or at least not 10 try TO car
ry it out These unwise advisers have
been trying TO get Mr.. Mckinley to
order federal troops into both Of those
has been received from the governor
of either. He has been told that the
same section of the United States re
viseG statutes under which President
Cleveland sent federal troops into iii.
nois during the railroad riots gave him
the authority to do SO regardless of
the regularly constituted authorities
of the states. He has done nothing
except te countenance the semi-official
statement that IL any federal official in
either state Was interfered with a
force Of deputy United States marsh
ais would be used to protect them, and
in case of their inability to do SO, that
they would be reinforced by federal
troops. Some Of the men ordered out
Of bJth states, among them a white
postmaster from South Carolina, are
in Washington tryiog TO pose as mar
tyra, and u persuade Mr.. Mckinley TO
get mixed up in their quarrel; but ev-
cry one OF them would gladly compro-
mise the matter by accepting an
appointment here in Washington.
There may be Democrats who are
downcast over the result Of the elec-
tion, but II SO they have not been seen.
All those who are talking on the sub
ject express the opinion that the rarty
made splendid showing, under the
circumstances, and that reducing the
Repu blican majority in the house
almost to the vanishing point puts the
Democrats in better position to make
a winning fght in 1900 than they
would have been had they captured
the next house. With both branches
of congress in their hands the Repub-
licans will be certain to make lots of
good Democratic campaign material in
the next two yeara.
TIE outcome OF the efforts OF Boss
Hanna and other Mckinley boomers to
Jolly Teddy Roosevelt into supporting
the claims of Mckinley for rsnomina
tion in 1900, by promising him that
they viii support him in 1904, will be
watched for with interest. Before
Roosevelt was ever thought of as a
Rough Rider or as governor of New
York Mckinley secured Platt's promise
of support in 1900, but as Roosevelt
only put on the Platt collar after he
had practically made his nomination
for governor a certainty, in order to
get Piatt's machine to help elect him,
he may, through his power as gov
ernor be able 10 prevent Platt con-
trolling the state de egat.on TO the
next national convention, thus making
il impossible for Pla:t TO deliver the
promised votes 10 Mckinley without
his consent WHAT Roosevelt will do
will depend, in the opinion Of those
who know his disposition thoroughly,
upon what he thinks will best promote
his own political interests and upon
what he thinks he can accomplish. If
he gets the idea that he can secure the
nomination himself the jollying OF the
friends ~ Mckinley viii have no effect
upon him whAtever IL is whispered
that Hanna Intends to tempt Teddy
by Offering 10 throw Hobart overheard
and make the ticket Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
Administration Republicans have al
ready begun TO put out feelers TO ascer-
tain what chance there will be OF get
ting an admins ration man elected
speaker OF the next house, instead of
Gar Reed. They are afraid OF Reed,
who is known to hold anti-adminis-
tration views on the expansion ques-
ton, and believed TO hold them upon
others, but they are also afraid to
show their hand unless certain that
enough votes to control the RepubN-
can caucus can be secured. Every Re-
publican elected 10 the next house is
10 be carefully sounded to ascertain
whether he would, If the admlnistra-
tion de ired II, vote agaiust nominat-
ing Reed for speaker. In putting out
these feelers the name Of Representa-
tive Henderson, OF Iowa, is suggested
as a possible administration candidate
for speaker but care is taken to leave
the imp ession tina, no particular can
didate would be insisted upon; they
only wish TO ascertain IL it is possible
to defeat Reed.
Should Senator Burrows fail TO de-
Velop strength enough among the Re-
pubicans OF the Michigan legislature
to get renominated, and his failure is
eNpNNANAt btNitAai y AAktAa Win bAe
com mbined backing of Governor Pin
gree and Mr.. Mckinley. will, il is un-
derstood, make rush for the senator
ship.
1t is announced that the administra-
tion has sent an ultimatum TO Spain,
demanding immediate action npon the
demand of this government for the
Philippines Just why that announce
ment should be made now is little
bit puzzling, but perhaps those who
made il know what they are doing,
and why they are doing IL.
According 10 those who know, the
Republicans are rejoicing over the
alleged defeat OF silver in the con-
gressional campaign Is premature. II
is predicted that many Republicans
elected from the western districts will
vote for silver, il II is made necessary
for them TO vote either FIR or against
il. because the sentiment in their
states, regardless Of politics, Is for
silver.
