Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-08-20

sion OF the qualities of the present ad-
minlstration would be entirely out of
place in meeting intended for the
discussion of things beniicent and ad-
vantageous to the colored race in gen
eral, and fear that such discussion
is sure to be entered upon" Hon H..
P. Cheatman, x-Representative from
North Carolina, said on the same sub
ject: "The administration is not on
trial before the council There are so
many important questions pressing
for adjustment, bearing more directly
upon the subjects for which the coun-
e1 was organized that the body will
commit grevious error IL 1t goes out
of its way to handle a matter so pure
ly political as attempting to pass upon
the uncompleted work of Mr. Mcl>ln-
ley
"All the troops that will be needed
to fight the rebellion % a peaceful
standstfll will be sent to the Philip
pines" That is the sum and substance
of Secretary Roots reply TO questions
concerning the immediate formation
of additional regiments of volunteers,
and 1t covers the ground, too. If more
regiments are thought to be needed,
they will be organized and sent; 9TH
erwise not.
Boss Croker has succeeded in puz-
cling the Bryan Democrats by declar-
ing for Bryan. In Washington the
politicians do not believe that Croker
intends to support Bryan, unless NE
finds it absolutely impossible to pre-
vent his nomination, and his object in
declaring for him is thought to be
merely to put himself in a better po-
sition to secretly work against Bryan
and ascertain the chances of corrupt
ing Bryan delegates to the convention.
Senator German is also deep in
the plot to throw Bryan down, Dut
there is to be no more brass band
movement against him. 1t Is to be a
dark lantern campaign, all the work
ers in which are to profess friendship
for Bryan.
The alleged movement in New Eng
land for the forma, on of an anti-eX-
pansionist Republican party to put VI
national ticket next year is not SER
iously considered in Washington
There is only one Republican party
and that is solidly behind the Philip
pine and all other policies of President
MCKINLEY and its purpose is to renom-
mate and re-elect Mckinley and there
isn't the slightest doubt of its being
successfully carried out. 1t is not be.
o eyed that an anti-eXpansion Republi.
can ticket, even granting the possibll-
Ity of one being nominated, would re-
ceive in the entire country ten thous-
and votes AS "a rule the Republicans
who oppose expansion belong to that
class of men who never approve ol
anything not originated by themselves
Admiral Sampson has been ordered
to prepare and submit to the Navy
Department a program for the North
Atlantic Squadron, under his com
mand, to follow in participating in the
reception of Admiral Dewey when he
arrives at New York. This program
must be approved by the Secretary OF
the Navy before it can be carried out
Secretary Root is much pleased with
the news from Gen. Otis this week
which shows that our troops take ad-
vantage of every opportunity the rain
gives them to fight the Filipinos, and
of course, to whip them. The croak-
ers are likely to be greatly surprised
when the close of the rainy season
permits a general movement against
| the Filipinos.
