: HUNTINGToN's BARGAIN.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA special to the
Journal from Washington says: One hun
dred and thirty-two delegates to the next
Republican National Convention. That Is
what Coils P. Huntington, transconti-
mental railway nagnate and multi-ml-
lionafre. has pledged to deliver to Thomas
b: Reed, Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, Republican aspirant for the
Presidency in 1900 The votes are to be
delivered only on condition that Speaker
Reed prevents the passage of the Near
aqua canal bill.
The story. of this combination between
Coils P. Huntington and Speaker Reed. is
persistently current here. The fate of
the Nicaragua canal bill means millions
to- Mr.. Huntington. If it becomes law
II means, millions in loss. If 1t is defeated
1t: means millions In profits, because it
perpetuates, perhaps for years, a monop-
oily of the carrying. trade between the At
lantic and Pacific seabOards now enjoyed
by the transcontinental railways owned
and controlled by Huntington. That is
Huntfngton's side of. the case.
The fate of the Nicaragua bill means
much to Speaker Reed if the promise be
kept. Animated by ambition to become
President of the United States, and ham
pered in his ambitions by lack of money
necessary to conduct a winning campaign,
the. tempting offer of 1872 delegates in a
bunch has made him foe of the isthmian
waterway: That is Reeds side of the
proposition. That is the explanation of
he>House finding itself unable to consider
or pass any Nfcaraguan canal bill
