WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Sent. u. IS

w AohlNNloNi sept, %, 1913.
A distinction without a difference is
that made by Republicans who say
that Mr.. Mckinley will not make some
speeches in Ohio, but will probably
make speeches from the rear platform
of tie train upon which he will pass
through Ohio on his coming trip to
aud from the West. 1t really looks a.
though that trip had been arranged
solely for the purpose of giving Mr..
Mckinley an opportunity to make
some speeches in Ohio, which he has
been assured by his party managers
are very much needed. He and his
party managers may call them rear
platform" or any other kind of speeches
they please, bat the people will know
them for the stump speeches they will
be, and they will not be inclined TO
think any more Of the President of the
u. 5. who is willing to engage in such
business, even to help pull his party
out Of a very deep hole
Boss Platt has been in Washington.
and ii is believed that he tried to make
a deal for the Vice-Presidential nomi-
nation for New Yorker, it being now
pretty generally understood that Mr.
Hobart is to voluntarily" retire. and
that Governor "reddy" doesn't want
the nomination. 1t is said that Platt
told Mr.. Mckinley that any man from
his state would please him, but sug.
gested Senator Depew and Secretary |
Root as available men. One of Mr..
Depew's close friends says that having
just secured a full term in the Senate
he would not for moment think of
giving it up to accept the Vice Presi-
dental nomination. Secretary Root
might take il if he could get it.
Since Reeds retirement there has
been much talk about members of the
House being allowed more liberty at
the coming session of Congress. Those
who did this talking believed in it. but
1n announcement of Speaker to- be
programme for the Re-
publican financial bill, does not indi-
cate an increase Of liberty for members:
)nly transfer Of silent obedience from
Gar Reed to King Caucus. 1t is said
% be Mr.. Heuderson's intention TO |
ring the financial bill before a Repub- :
lean caucus, as soon as Congress meets Z
ma TO get il endorsed and ordered :
passed. Then the bill will be railroad
"a through the House before the COM
nlttees are announced. The excuse !
lven for this action, which will be q
decidedly unusual, in dealing with one
I the most important subjects that
congress is ever called upon to handle
the country's money-is that if the C
III was allowed to take the usual Il
purse, il might never get out of the q
on Banking and Currency. ;
which it should properly be referred
tier being introduced in the House. ?
might be changed by that Commit
e. If this programme is really to be
'rred out, the House Caucus should ST
rst vote to abolish the banking and c.
lrrency committee. e.
Representative Berry, Of XIV. has e.
ZEN somewhat annoyed by being mis- u;
presented as to his attitude towards a,
d. Bryan. While in Washington, a OF
" or twoago Col. Berry took occasion
say, with an emphasis which left no -.
u0t OF his meaning every word: pe
ly opinion is that Bryan will he the pa
minee Of the democracy, and | have yo
urther opinion that he will get votes 80 So
