quoted as saying that the same parties in

Commenting upon the United States cleo
lions, which are generally taken by the
weeklies to indicate "a triumph of imperial
ism, the Saturday Review says:
Ebctioneerinc An Art
every one is well aware that election
eering in the United States has become a
fine art. Seldom, however, have we had the
good fortune to discover a more audacious
attempt to evade the law of 1883 than Is re-
vealed by the circular issued by the Ohio
republican state executive committee
which has come into our hands, addressed
to federal servants, supposed to be repub-
licans, and which states that to avoid
violating any provisions of the law the
committee in charge of the financial
branch of the work Is made up of persons
in no wise connected with the fe5<ral SER
vice. and subscribers may, therefore, safe
ly be paid to them. President Mckinley
may well be proud of his victory"
