more that $500 bills and resolutions
we're introduced in the house alone.
Nine-tenths Of these were introduced

upon and the same fate is likely to
meet an equal per cent Of them this
time. The number OF bills introduced
in the senate is much smaller, not only
because Of smaller membership, but

That President Mckinley will be re.
nominated there has been no doubt for
a long time. As for the nominee for
vice president the sentiment in favor
of Elihu Root, the secretary Of war,
has assumed proportions which prac-
tically insures his being second place
on the ticket. Careful, conservative,
men do not hesitate at this time to pre-
dict Mr. Roots nomination to the vice.
presidency by the republican party
next year. In speaking of MIR. Roots
chances a prominent member of the
national republican committee said;
"If.l we're prophesying on the ticket l
would say 1t would be Mckinley and
Root. Although l am a western man
| can see no reason which admits of no
argument for the vice presidential
nomination going to an eastern man.
1t seems to be conceded generally that
New York ought to produce him, Mr..
Root would give the strength, hrmness
and prestige to the ticket which anoth.
err man would not do, and which are
needed" That Mr.. Root is willing to
go on the ticket with Mckinley there is
not the slightest doubt. 1t may be
said even that the secretary is am.
bilious to procure the vice presidential
nomination; ia fact, it Is known he has
aspirations of that character.
