Post Master General Smith, who
has just returned from stumping
trip in Ohio, says it is only a ques-
tion of how large the Republican
majority would be. His last
speeches We're made in the "west-
ern reserve" " where Democrats had
been making all sorts of claims
about Republican apathy. Mr.
Smith says he found no Republican
apathy in that section of the State ;
that the Republicans there, as in
all sections of the country, had
been so busy making money that
they waited later in the campaign
than usual before giving their time
and attention to politics that when
he left they were thoroughly arous-
ed, and that there is no reason to
fear that the full Republican vote
will not be brought out. Mr.. Smith
says that while there are wide diff
ferences of opinion as TO the total
vote Sam. Jones will get, the best
posted men in the State are abso-
lutely certain that he will take
many more votes from Mclean
than from Nash. President Nc
Kinley's private advices from Ohio
which are numerous and full, all
point one way-to certain Republi-
can victory.

Guy V Henry, of the regular army,
who was buried to-day with mill
tary honors. at Arlington, where so
many of his former comrades are
sleeping their last sleep. In the
Indian wars, he earned the title of
Fighting Guy by his gallantry.
How gallaBt he was may he judged
from the fact that in the campaign
against the Sioux Indians in 1876,
he led his regiment in charge
after receiving shot throut n his
face which broke his nose and de.
stroyed the sight of his left eye,
and said after the fight had been
won to the officer who,attempted to
condole with him, while leading
him from the field: lit is nothing,
Jack This is what we are hero
for !" and again when he pursued
the Cheyennes across the Canadian
b jrder i'm the dead of winter, and
gave them Il humiliating thrashing
they never forgot II was in the
latter campaign that Gen Henry
had both hands and feet frozen,
which made him cripple to his
dying day. 1t is men like Gen.
Henry who have given the Ameri-
can soldier the high place he occu-
pies in the esteem of the entire
world, and which makes him un
conquerable and every American
should be proud of the knowledge
that we have never lacked Henry
when there was need for his ser
vices.

Men from the far west who come
to Washington these days all tell
one story-great prosperity and al
most unanimous support of the
foreign policy of the administration
For instance Mr. Z. w. Hartley, of
Boise City, Idaho, said: Il voted
for Bryan at the last Presidential
election, but | will never do it
again. l have been studying the
subject upa little since that time
More than so per cent of the silver
republicans in Idaho have decided
to go back to the Republican fold,
and, unless there is very perfect
fusion of all the opposing parties
Idaho is a sure enough Republican
State for 1900. Anti. expansion
doesn't go out our way. We want
the islands in the East and lots of
trade for our Western cities.

Senator Sewell, whose military and

powder, ball, and bayonet. | learn

cruise i'm that vicinity. | had some
experience then with Philippine
character that will never forget
The sooner we show the leaders of
the insurreCtion that we are i'm
real earnest, the sooner the trouble
will be settled. The President Is
alive to the situation and is handling
ing it with skill" Inasmuch as this
language was used by the Senator
Just after he had been i'm conference

That there isn't the slightest
doubt in administration circles
about our permanent retention of
the Philippines is shown by the de-
cision of Secretary Long to recon-
mend in his annual report the con
struction of Il number of light draft
gunboats for use in Philippine wat
ers. 1t is practically certain that
the resurrection will be over long
before these boats are built, but
they will be needed in Philippine
waters to look after our commerce
all the time.
