IN THE SEVENTH UNION CAMP.
Political Pot Boiling Over.--Those
Who Are After the Broth.

The Addicks followers in this repre-
sentative district are just now busy
shaping UP things for the Legislative
nomination, and it may safely be said
from surface indications that every
thing is not just as harmonious as it
might be in their camp over this par
ticular subject. In fact there are sew
eral men who think that they, each
of them, is the identical chap whom
this honor should be conferred upon,
while the rest can't see it in that light.
So far there have been listed from
this balwick the following applicants:
Levi G. Sterner, Remsen P. Barnard I.
Coke Chambers, Delaware T. Hollis
and Jabez jenkins, who did yeoman
service for Mr.. Addicks at the last
session.
j. V. McCommons, solitary and alone,
so far represents the Wyoming end OF
the fight, and he contends that as the
Camdenites had the honor last time
it should drop around Wyoming this
"trip. The eastern men, however, argue
that as John HUM, of the Western
Reserve, is in training to succeed Sen
ator Alice when the latters term eX-
pires, the representativeship should
again come to the tenderfeet of the
east side. They hold one SenatorshiT
is worth two terms in the House.

But Dr. L. S. Conwell has his
optics also on the chair now occupied
by Senator Alice, and believes that ht
could very comfortably fill it. Mean.
while the political thermometer is ris
ing and things are getting uncomfor
tably warm. Among the Regulars A
Wilson Slaymaker and Samuel Ham
mond are apparently the only men sug
gested as candidates for the repre-
sentative nomination.
That the Regulars will put UP a can
didate and vote for him too, can be Sc
down as a most assured certainty
They refuse emphatically to even lister
to any hint of compromise or coalition

A SUNDAY WITH
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
How Bryan and Mckinley Spent Last
Lords Day, Both Quietly.

William j. Bryan spent Sunday in
Chicago. He attended services in the
morning at the First Methodist Church,
a downtown congregation correspond
ing in wealth and location to that in
any other city. The worshippers and the
pastor recognized him, and at the con-
clusion of the service he held an i'm
promptu reception. The rest of the
day Mr.. Bryan spent in his room in
the Sherman House. He received
newspaper reporters, but refused to
talk politics. Sam Cook, of Missouri,
and Chairman Johnson of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, spent an
hour with him. The Bible was con-
spicuous ON his table, and some of his
callers found him reading it.
President Mckinley mixed politics
and religion with such care that neith-
er politics nor religion could object
He read the papers after breakfast
talked over the Philippines situation
with Adjutant- General Corbin and ther
went to church.
Upon his return to the White Housf
he talked with Secretary of the Navy
Long, Admiral CrowninshielG
and General Corbin.
The late afternoon was spent in {
stroll through the private ground:
back of the Executive mansion, which
was followed by conference with Sec
retary of State Hay concerning the
Chinese situation. After dinner THE
President and Mrs. Mckinley went fol
a drive He retired early.
