Home States OF Mckinley and Bryan.

We have been tod that the outcome OF
the State election in Ohio, the home of
President Mckinley, would be generally
accepted as an indication of the strength
of the administration with the people Of
this country as a whole, and that the de-
feat of Nash, the republican candidate for
the governor+hip, would mean the failure
of the President to secure a re-olection, if
indeed it would not serve 10 prevent his
denomination by the republican national
convention There is considerable grain
of tCuth in this assertion, and accordingly
the political struggle in the Buckeye
State will be watched with an interest ~
wide rs the country Political parties are
accust omed TO take into consideration the
carrying power of a possible candidate as
regards his own and other States, and in
asmuch as they have come to regard the
ability of a presidential possibility to Sc
cure the electoral votes of his own State
as one of The essentials. it is not to be
expected that under ordinary circum-
stances the republicans would violate an
established political principle and dsre-
gard public sentiment by nominating

Bryan. and if the ticket which he is cham

Significantly enough the probable out

predicting would be the case all along,
namely. that thousands who have been
voting the popocratic ticket for some time
would this year either vote the republican
ticket or remain away from the polls 1t Is
pointed out that with a total vote no
greater than that of last year, a gain OF
one per cent for the republican ticket
would defeat the Bryan ticket; and the re-
publicans are expecting to gain a much
larger per centage than that named.

Congress So important are many of the
measures that at one time it was serious
ly considered whether it would be adj
visable to call Congress in session earlier
than December in order to get some OF
the routine business out of the way before
the Christmas holidays. The fear is still
expressed that the work of the next Con-
grcSs will drag the session into the coming
summer months. one reason given for de-
string to prevent this was that the ha-
tiCrlal conventions meet in the summer of
1900 to nominate candidates for the ,lres-
dency. These conventions always have
demoralizing effect upon Congress, If it
happens TO be in session, and the mem
berS. moreover. like to be in their re-
spective states to take part in the cleo
tiot OF delegates. But after considering
the matter il was deemed best not to
call an extra session of ongreSS for the
reason that an extraordinary session more
or less tends to upset the business in
tercStS of the country, or at least to keep
it agitated Then. too, by December the
government would be able to understand
the needs of our new territorial dCquisi
tons and to judge more accurately what
Legislation was necessary for them. That
the members of the House and Senate are
studying the questions upon which they
will be called to lcgislatc is evident by
the fact that some Of them have put in the
heated summer months in Porto Rico and
Hawaii, some even crossing the Pacific
and going with our troops into the Philip
pine islands. Others went to Cuba in
order that they might gain useful infor-
nation to spread upon the pages Of The
Cor gressional Record next winter.

ROUTINE BUSINESS.


As soon as Congress meets in Deem
Der Speaker Henderson will appoint the
committees for the House, and before the
Christmas holidays much of the routine
business will be we'll under way. The com
mittee on appropriations will begin its
gigantic work of framing appreciation
bills almost the moment its membership
is announced. The House will be able to
organize much sooner than usual. for the
reason that there will be no protrlcted
wrangle over the speakership, a number
of bills will at once be presented apper-
taitng to matters relative to our recently
acquired territory Every member prob
ably viii have scheme by which the
colonies" should be governed. These vari-
Gus propositions will be referred to the
proper committees.
At the very outset a very nice question
will arise and to a certain extent will in
dictate the sentiment of Congress regard
ing the new territory. The anti-eXpan-
sic nists both in the House and in the
Senate will want all the bills relating to
"thc colonies" sent to the committees on
foreign affairs while those who favor
holding permanently the territory we ac-
CURED as n result of the war with spain
will want them sent to the committees On
territories, which will more or less fix the
status of these possessions at the outset.
While all such bills will BE referred to
committees at once this Will not Prevent
the discussion in both houses of the qucs-
ton of the permanent retention of the
Philippines, and in all debates that ques
ton Is certai, to be pushed to the front
by the opposition. But as there can he no
legislation until the committees report the
debates on the subject will be purely of
a political nature, There will be little to
do with reference to Cuba. and therefore
there will be little or no debate on that
subject. Congress will be urged to dispose
l,a t., .lDt m a
Porto Rico at once, as the needs of these
islands make it imperative that this
should ne done speedily. The best opinion
is that Congress will frame laws for the
Philippines at the same time laws are en-
acted for Porto Rico and Hawaii, This will
bring on a heated debate, and doubtless
protracted one in the Senate where the
opposition, under the present rules gov
erning that august body can consume as
much time as 1t desires,
As all bills not passed die With the
Congress in which they originated, every
bill or measure, even If it should have
been passed in one branch of the last
Congress, will have to be passed by both
the House and the Senate in the Fifty
sixth. The fight over the anti-scalpOg
bill will have TO he made over again, and
the fate of the measure is doubtful.
Another question which will excite little
interest In the public mind, but which will
