ALL FOR SAUNDERS.

Representative Salter's missionary
work fer Bennett in Worcester proved
unavai.ing. Worcester is a Saunders
city and it's representatives will stand
by Saunders until the votes are count
ed.
Representative John G. Hagberg told
Mr.. Salter plainly that he was a Saun-
ders man, and Representative-ele
David Manning, who has hitherto been
silent on the subject, announced his
preference for Mr.. Saunders. Repre-
sentatives Munroe, Ellsworth and Tat
man, also Saunders men to stay, SO
that Mr.. Salter gained nothing by his
visit
Local representatives received this
morning copies of the statement issued
Saturday by Bennett, Reed and Saun-
ders, and printed in the Sunday papers
declaring that of the 166 republican rep
resentatives, over 100 were opposed to
Myers candidacy, despite the claims Of
the latter. There is a report that the
Reed Saunders and Bennett forces have
combined in favor of Bennett, but this
is denied by Saunders men, who claim
that whatever union exists is aimed
solely against Myers election and moth

The Massachusetts Reform Club at its
annual meeting Saturday night, re-
elected ]. J. Myers one of It's vice pres
1dents. Myers was exceedingly dis
turbed when he read the report of the
meeting and it's action yesterday. When
reached by a reporter, however, though
he betrayed his excitement at the issue
he did not speak on the moment His
connection with the club is one of the
chief arguments used against him.
What stirs Myers most, in word, is
not his reelection, but that just at the
moment of his election Gamaliel Brad
ford should break out with an anti-Mc-
Kinley harangue.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

McKinley's special message is not a
startling document. Those who ex-
pected in it the announcement of some
startling policy, some new breaking
away from old traditions, will be agree
ably disappointed. The document is
nothing more than a careful and schol-
arly review of year which has been
big with momentous events. The
legislation recommended is simply that
necessitated by the march of events.
And yet, it is an important message,
a very important message. 1t will be
read with eagerness all over the world
by those anxious to see whether the
president and his advisers have weak
ened any in the policy they had set
down for themselves. 1t will be read
by politicians, who will pick it to pieces
to supply themselves with material for
campaign speeches, and who will scan it
closely to see whether any concession
is made to the party out of power, on
the eve of the coming election.
They will find no wavering. McKin.
ley advocates no retrograde movement
At the very outset of the document is
a plea for the gold standard. The re-
publican party is as orthodox on the
money question now as it was foul
years ago.
AS to trusts, the all absorbing topic
in the industrial world, the president
holds that there should be fedora
legislation to restrict the growth OF
financial octopUses, formed with the
purpose of crushing out all legitimate
competition. By this stand, he clever
ly takes the wind out of the sails of
democrats, who are planning to wage
an active campaign on the trust issue.
He further shows, by quoting one of
Benjamin Harrison's messages, that
opposition to trusts is no new doctrine
among republicans.
AS to the Philippines, Mckinley
takes the only stand that was to be
expected. Yielding not an iota to the
cutlery of anti-expansionists, he shows
the folly and criminality of any other
SCOl sc. blleAL IIdI VI putting speedy
end to the Instruction, and then giving
the nations wards in the Orient the
first just government they have ever
experienced. The government of the
island of Negros is pointed to as being
on small scale what the government
proposes eventually to do on a large
scale, when the rebellion is put down.
The message is so exhaustive that it
is impossible to comment upon a 1.-THE
of the points it touches upon. But the
building of the Nicaraguan canal, the
laying of the Pacific cable, the extern
sion of the merchant marine, by which
this nation viii come into its due share
of the worlds carrying trade, are all
important features of that new repub-
lican policy, which, although abandon
ing none of the old issues. for which the
party has fought, strives ever to ex-
pand to meet new conditions.

chance of his life if he only realizes it,

yesterday behind a natty looking pa
Ger which attracted attention
everywhere. Horsemen pronounced ii
a new purchase of Mr.. Henry. 1t

one to Worce ster. The animal is the
speedy Whirligig, handsome looking
seal brown mare, six years of age,
which Mr.. Henry purchased last spring.
She has mark of 2:10 as three-year-
old, and is unusually fast on the road.
Although he purchased her last spring,
he didn't bring her to this city until a
few days ago Since her appearance
here. Mr. Henry's friends have pro-
nounced her fitting addition to his
excellent stable of fast ones. She will
be a hot aspirant for honors on the
speedway if her owner sends her after
them,
