ing Negotiations with Ii.


tx. Senator Quay came 10 Washing
ton several days ago for the purpose q
holding conference with some of hi'
lieutenants aud doing some figuring on
his chances for controlling the legisla
ture and getting back to the Senate
The fact that Mr.. Quay came to Wash
ington to hold these conferences in his
own house indicates fear of treachery
in Pennsylvania, on his part Among
those who participated in the con-
ferenceS were Senator PenrOse, Chair
man Reeder, Of the Republican State
Committee; Representative Bingham
and Young, and Insurance Commits
-Ioner Durham. Mr.. Quay refused To
even say whether he expected to ge
back 10 the Senate, which indicates
that he doubts, a. he has heretofore
pretended to regard his election to the
Senate a. a matter of course.
The extent Of Mr.. McKinley's con-
troll of Mr.. Hanna will be shown by
Hanna's future conduct. Mr. McKin-
ley left Washington last week, fully
determined to stop Hanna's speech
making having been convinced that
it was making Bryan voters 10y the
thousand all over the country. Since
then, Mr.. Hanna has spent a day with
Mr.. Mckinley at Canton. If Hanna
makes no more speeches, it will show
that Mr.. Mckinley retains some say in
the conduct Of the Republican cam.
paign; if Hanna continues to make
speeches, it will show that he is the
supreme boss Of the whole Republican
outfit, including Mr.. Mckinley.
Hon. D0mlnick |. Murphy, Elk Com
missioner of Pensions painted this
picture Of Mark Hanna and his
methods: "Iou never hear him pratt
ing Of his reliance on Divine Providence
TO carry his party through an election.
He j. the type Of the buccanneer and
the free booter in politics He bluntly
puts it that money is the essential
thing. In this campaign let us hope
and pray that Mr.. Hanna and his fell
low manipulatOrs all spend their money
in vain, but let Us do more than hope
and pray; let us work from this time
on until the polls have closed on cleo
ton day, for you know that Heaven
helps those who help themselves. OF

declaration and stick by the Constitu-
lion, We will continue to be a world

The administration isn't taking as

ional Convention in Cuba, since it be-

Representative Babcock, Chairman
the Republican Congressional Cam
