OF the Indian Appropriation bill by The
way in which Mr.. Gallinger pronounced
the word Indian" The New Hampshire
Senator. who is usually very particular
as to his pronunciation used the word
as though it we're spelled "injun and he
used that pronunciation so many times

""" hrt telihn.-During the
past week there has been a notable
growth in the movement to make the
Hon George B. Mcclellan the running
mate of Mr.. Bryan. The principal obiee-
ton urged against his selection is his age
He is now only th!rty-fve, which by the
way, is barely one year younger than
Bryan was when nominated for President
Otherwise his qualifications are not CON
sidered short OF the requirements either
OF the office or the race He is supposed
not to be thoroughly in accord with the
Western wing of the Democracy on the
currency question, though his friends de-
clare that he is the sort of Democrat who
follows the lead Of his party both IN
candidates and platform declarations I'M
murmuringly. The relations between him
and Mr.. Bryan are said to be very cor
dial. and the Nebraskan is being quoted
as recently having declared that he would
have no objection 10 Mcclellan as a run
ming mate. It is thought his candidacy
would be acceptable both 70 Croker and
Hill, and thus unite the factions in New
YORK for an aggressive campaign Also
it is believed that the military prestige
of his father would attract to the ticket
a larger following of c. A. r. men than
otherwise could be expected to vote for the
Democratic nominees Mr.. McCle1lan's
record in Congress is clean and altogether
creditable. and there is nothing in his
private life that would prove injurious to
the ticket if he should be placed upon It.
However. il is generally conceded that
unless both Messrs. Hill and Croker
should ask for his nomination his can
didacy would not be seriously considered
by the party managers. Heretofore the
impression has been that Judge Van
Wyck could come nearer spanning the
gap between Croker and Hill than any
other New Yorker of Vice Presidential
stature. though the connection of Van
Nyck's name with the Dewey movement
may break the force Of his candidacy
even in New York With the elimination
Of Van Wyck the situation at present
seems to favor Mcclellan. It is signii-
cant that Mr.. McClellan's name was
foremost among those mentioned yester-
day by members Of Congress of both par
ties for Vice President

arrived in Washington on Monday and left

At the last Republican National Conven-
