mite, to which it will be referred,
with amendments, or whether the bill
prepared by the republican members
OF that committee, during the summer
recess, which differs somewhat from
the House bill, will be reported as
substitute, is not positively known,
although the chances favor the latter
action.
President Mckinley left number
OF prominent men waiting in his office
while he accompanied Mrs. Hobart,
who had been in Washington several
days, arranging for the removal of her
late husbands personal property to
her New jersey home, to the railroad
station. 1t was a thoughtful AID
courteous act, but Mr.. Mckinley is
one of the most thoughtful and court
eous Of men at all times.
Republicans in the House enjoyed
the little spat over Kentucky politics,
between representatives Berry and
Wheeler. of that State, both demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Berry is an anti-Goebel
democrat, while Mr.. Wheeler is
Goebel man. The most significant
thing about this democratice squabble
was the declaration of Mr.. Wheeler
that Goebel would be Governor of Ken
lucky before spring, which indicates
an intention on the part of the Goebel-
ltles to try to get the legislature to
oust Gov. Taylor and put Goebel in.
1t has been understood for some DAYS
In Washington, that Joe Blackburn
was working towards that end, because
aslong as he can keep the governor
ship danglingbefore-t the eyes of Goebel,
he can keep Goebel from trying to get
the Senatorshlp. AT the conclusion
lof the democratic washing of dirty
Elinen, Representative Boreing OF KY,
a republican, made few remarks.
He said: 81 am willing to admit that
one faction of the democratic party. in
Kentucky is s'just as bad as the other
faction says it is, but in so far as 1 un-
derstand the remarks OF Mr.. Wheeler,
that the election of Gen. Taylor was
accomplished by fraud and rascality,I
desire te denounce that as untrue.
The election was held by Goebel
democratic commission, under the
Goehel election law, enacted for the
express PURPOSE of elevating Goebel to
power. II must be in bad taste and
must be huniiliating to both Mr..
Goebef and his representative upon
this floor, to announce that they APP
.pealed from the decision Of their own
board' ss-
The choice of Philadelphia for the
republican convention city of next
year, by majority of one vote in the
Nationpl Committee, was most fitting
in view of the brotherly love now ex-
isting in thesrepublican party, which
is more harmonious than st any time
IN IT'S history. and Of the fact that the
ticket is likely to be nominated by ac-
clamation.. Chicago lost the conven-
ton by over confidence, accepting the
belief that it was bound to be chosen,
instead of hustling; New York was
never seriously considered.
The membership OF the three new
Senate committees, created to deal
with legislation affecting our new pos
sessions and Cuba is one OF which the
