AL REPUBLICAN OoNv6ETI0E.
GRACEFUL TRIBUTE.
Disagreeing Democrats.

/
Speaker Henderson had an unusual
experience in connection with the re.
publican Financial Bill, which was to-
day passed by the House. by q decisive
majority. including every republican
member OF the House and q few demo-
Gratis. and he is naturally much |
pleased. He had the honor sof being |
chairman of the Caucus Committee |
which prepared the bill as well As be- |
ing the Speaker of the HOUSE that
passed it. The bill will 20 over to the
Senate at once, but whether il will be
reported 10 the Senste from the FL
nance Committee, to which it will be
referred, with amendments, or wAeth-
er the bill pre- pared by the republican
members Of that committee, during
the summer recess, which differs
somewhat from the House bill, will be
reported az q substitute is not yet
positively known, although the chances
favor the latter action.
LEFT THIN WAITING.
President Mckinley left . number
of prominent men waiting In his Office
while he accompanied Mrs Hobart,
who had bsen in Washington several
days, arranging for the removal OF her
late husbands personal property to
her New Jersey home, 60 the railroad
station lie was . thoughtful and
courteous act. but Mr.. McKInl is one
st the most thoughtful and courteous
OF men at all times.
| Republicans in the House enjoyed
the spat over Kentucky politics, be-
l tween Representatives Berry and
wheeler, of that State, both demo
crats 4r. Berry 10 an anti Goebel
democrat, while Mr.. Wheeler is q
! Goebel man. The most significant
thing about this democratic Equabble
was the declaration of Mr.. Wheeler
that ioebe1 would be Governor of
Ksntesky before Spring, which fndi-
Gates an. intention on the part of the
/, Goebelites 90 try TO get athe legisia-
ture TO GUST Governor Taylor and put
Goebel In. IL has been understood for
some days in Washington, that Joe
} Blackburn was working towards that
end, because as long as he can keep
the COVER orship dangling before the
: eyes of Goeoel, he can keep Goebel
from trying tt get the Senatorship.
BOTH VERY B.ip.

washing of dirty linen, Representative
{ Boreing of Kentucky, q repu blican
made few remarks. He said: Il an
willing TO admit that one faction Of
the democratic party in Kentucky il
lust a. bad as the other factlon says il
is. bat in so far as 1 understand the
9 remarks OF nar. Wheeler, that the cleo
:, ton OF General Taylor was acco mpiIsh.
: ed by fraud end rAscaiity, I desire &C
q d snounce that as untrue. The electioT
I ives held by . Goebei democratic com.
1 n issicn, under tbs Goebel election
law, enacted for the express pNrposG
of elevating Goebel TO power. IL mus
= be in bal taste and must be humillat-
d ing to both Mr.. Goebel and his repre-
t sentative upon his fl Jor, to announc,
: that they appealed from the decision
q OF their own board"
PHILADELPHIA CEosEN.
3 The choice Of Philadelphia for tn
republican convention city of mex
year. by . sjOriry Of one vote in th'
National Committee, was most fittinl
in view of the trotherly love now ex
istins in the republican party, which i
more harmonious than at any time il
it's history, and OF the fact that tn
ticket ia likely TO be nomin ated by as
clamation. Chicago lost the eonven
tion by over-contidence, accepting tn
belief that it was bound TO be chosen
instead of hustling; New York wa
never seriously considered.
The membership of the three ne'
Senate Committees, created to det
with legislation affecting our new pos
Is sessions and Cuba is Que of which th
country may be proud; they contain O
much ability as any three committee
in the senate.
