"SsY Mr.. Dennis" was the reply.

Washington Letter.
correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
"Speaker Henderson promises to be
as much of an autocrst as Thomas B
Reed, if one can judge from present
indications. If anything he is more
dictatorial than the man frem Maine
ever thought of being" That is not
q democratic opinion, but one uttered
by a prominent republican member
of the house whose name cannot be
used, because he spoke in confidence
to q personal friend. It indicates,
however, that things are not turning
out in accordance with the numerous
prophesles of reform that we're to be
inaugurated when Mr.. Henderson
became speaker.
Democrats are rather enjoying the
criticism of Mr.. McKinley's gold
standard bill, alleged to have been
prepared by republican caucus COM
mittee, which was made public sew
eral days ago. Although the bill ex-
plicltly declares for the single gold
standard, and fsvors the national
banks the ultra gold men are object
ing to it because it does not provide
for calling in the greenbacks as well.
Several republican senators have said
the bill cannot get through the senate
in it's present shape, and have pre-
dicted such radical amendments
thereto as will result in dead lock
between the house and senate, and
no financial legislation. Democrats
are not discussing the bill to any ex-
tent just now, but they will be glad
to have the republican party go into
the presidential campaign with that
bill defining its financial position.
= According to Gen. Leonard Wood,
who says he is in Washington solely
to confer with the war department
concerning the withdrawal of some of
the troops under his command from
Oubs-the orders for their withdraw
al have been issued. Mr.. Mckinley
has abandoned the idea of appointing
a civil governor for Cuba at this
time.
Representative Crowley, of Illinois,
one of the new democratic members
thus sizes up the political situation
in bis state: my people favor the
nomination of Bryan and the reafim-
alton of the Chicsgo platform, with
some additions against trusts and the
imperialIstic course of the Mckinley
administration. Col. Bryan has a
strong chance of carrying Illinois if
sufficient encouragement If given and
8 good organization effected"
For the first time in man. years
two brothers, frem different states,
are members of the snms house. They
are Representative Olsyton. of Ala
bsmh, and Representative Clayton OF
New York. nephews of ex-senator
Pugh, and both democrats of the
tried and true brand.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1899-12-07

Senator Harris, of Kansas, thinks
the democratic party has a grand
opportunity before it, of which he
said: 1T seems to that if the demo-
Gratis would seize upon the opportu
mites within their grasp they would
have an excellent chance of regain
ing control of the country. First
and foremost, let them address them
selves to getting up an income tax
law that would be held valid by the
supreme court. Here is something
definite, something worth fighting
for, and in line with poauler senti-
ment. Social and economic prob
lens are the vital issues, and the
party that apges itself ont he side of
the common people will be dominant
political force in this country"
The members of the republican
caucus committee, which claims to
have prepared the gold standard bill
which Is to be jammed through the
house by order of the caucus. without
even being referred to a committee,
displayed monumental nerve when
they stated in their report on the
bill, as one of the reasons why it
ought to become law, that silver
had steadily declined IN price and its
production had fuctuated Every
body knows that both the define in
price and the fuctuatIon in the pro-
duction of silver was caused directly
by the attitude of the republican par
ty, taken under orders from the gold
kings of Europe, during the last
eight or ten years toward the white
metal.
Representative Sutherland, of Ne
brasks, says all the republican talk
about not having tried to carry that
state and being glad that Col. Bryan
won is tomyrot of the worst kind
that the republicans of the state tried
hard to beat Col Bryan, and had lots
of outside help on the job. and have
been sore ever since election because
of the poor showing they made. He
added that the state would give @ l.
Bryan an increased majority next
year. Mr.. Sutherland is one of the
few populIst members of this house.
Much regret is felt in Washington
over the announcement that the health
