Mckinley Hen and Guffey Directs the
Fight For the Bryanites.
(speelal Correspondence.l

Harrisburg, Nov. 1.-THE opposing
political organizations in Pennsylva-
MIA are now lining up for the great
presidential battle next year, with the
Republicans rallying under the tri
umphant banner of Mckinley and the
Democracy gathering under the stand
ard of Bryan.
1t is to be clean cut contest, and
there will be no mistaking the issues.
The situation in this state is about the
same as exists in nearly every state in
the Union Republicans hail the strug-
gle with delight and the Democrats are
at loss to know what 10 think about
their chances of success.
That the great Keystone state shall
take her proper place at the head of
the Republican movement for the re-
nomination of President Mckinley is
assured Within the last few days the
stalwart leaders agreed upon program
which will leave no room to doubt the
attitude Of Pennsylvania Republicans
in the coming national Republican
convention. Colonel Quay, Senator
Penrose, Governor Stone, Chairman
Reeder, Of the Republican state COM
mittae, former Chairman Elkin, among
others, have all gone on record in favor
of prompt expression from the Re
publicans Of the state, in accord with
the action OF the last Republican state
convention, which declared in the plat
form upon which the last canvass was
made that President Mckinley is the
undoubted choice of the Republicans of
PENNSYLVANIA for his own successor.
CHAT WITH GOVERNOR STONE.
."The people Of Pennsylvania" said
Governor Stone, "who believe in Re-
publican principles are unquestionably
in favor of the denomination of Presi-
dent Mckinley and | am glad to see
that the Republican organization has
gone on record in a positive manner
favorable TO the denomination and re-
election of the president"
The governor directed attention to
the fact that in the first plank of the
platform adopted at the last Republi-
can state convention in Pennsylvania,
after making eulogistic reference to
President Mckinley, this declaration
follows
much of the success of the Re-
publican policy adopted in 1896 is
due to the good Judgment. wise
counsel. administrative ability, far
reaching diplomacy and broad
minded craftsmanship of our pa
triotic president.
I'VE iilml. support and fully in
dorse his administration and place
on record the wish of the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania that he be
nominated to lead our hosts to vic
tory in the campaign of 1900, and
to thie e. 9 recommend the cleo
tiou OF dol 3les who will give his
candidacy earnest and vigorous
support in the next national con-
yention."
Following out the policy as embodied
in this plank of the party platform
the stalwart Republican leaders are
preparing to assist in the election

BLAND is BOOMING.
The Bernalillo County Bridge Of Little Use
To Santa Fe,

Hon. Charles F. Easley returned from
a visit to Bland Saturday evening. He
reiterated what has been stated SO often
before, that Bland is more prosperous
than any other mining camp in New
Mexico, is doing more building, adding
faster to the population and has bright
er prospects than perhaps any other
mining camp in the west. In speaking
of the new bridge to be built across the
Rio Grande, he says that it will be of
very little benefit to Santa Fe people,
and that it is very foolish on the part
Of Albuquerque people to kick against
the present site selected. The site at
first selected at Pena Blanca would
compel teams from Thornton and Albu-
querque to go through three miles of
sand, while il the bridge is placed at the
site selected for it by competent engin-
GERS, Albuquerque and Thornton teams
can follow the road on the other side
Of the river thus avoiding the sand,
without lengthening the distance to
Bland. As far as Santa Fe is concerned,
the bridge is too far from the Santa Fe
road to be of any practical value, except
during very high water. The ford nsed
by Santa Fe teams at present is very
good one, and will be used even after
the Bernalillo county bridge is built.
Should the trade between Santa Fe and
Bland keep on growing as it is at pres
ent, however, then Santa Fe county will
have to build bridge of it's own across
the Rio Grande to facilitate travel,

London, November 20.-The present

tactics hitherto maintained by the Brit

task allotted to General Clery, that of
relieving Ladysmith, will task his gen

late Estcourt. This latter movement is
already in progress. The Beers have
practically surrounded the town. An
other small force was discovered on the
Willow grange, south of Estcourt yes
terday evening. Major Thorneycroft,
with detachment of infantry, made
sortie and engaged the Beers, with no
material result. The so-called Boer at
tempt to rush Estcourt on Saturday
was apparently merely reconnois-
sance, resulting i'm the Beers obtaining
the information they desired-namely
that Estcourt Is fairly strongly held,
and that naval guns are In position. The
Beers them withdrew out Of danger, but
on points commanding the
exit from the town.
