Mr.. Allen to Rctirc.-It has lust been
learned in Washington that the Hon
John NJ. Allen. Of Tupelo, has definitely
decided 10 retire to private life at the ex-
piraticn of his present term in Congress.
Mr.. Allen. it is said. staked his whole po-
litical future on the disastrous race he
made for the Senate. In that contest, it is
stated that he agreed with various amb;-
tious. statesmen in the First Mississippi
district TO withdraw from the Cdngression-
al race if they would help him in his strug-
gle for the Senate against the powerful and
resourceful "Anse" McLaurin. They kept
their part of the agreement faithfully, and
now they have demanded CT "Privats" John
10 keep his part. With the death of the
Fifty-sixth Congress Mr.. Allen will retire
to his plantation in TiShomingo County
ard after rest of a year or two resume
the practice OF the law. which he aban-
dOned when he first came to Congress
fourteen years age. Like his famous pro-
totype. the Hon. ]. Proctor Knott, of Ken
lucky. it is said that Mr.. Allen wi go back
to private life very much embittered that
he permitted himself to become great as a
humoriSt in Congress. His friends say that
he believes the reputation he acquired as
funny man has initiated against him
with the people of Mississippi Like Bret
Harte. Private" John now realizes what
serious thing it is to be funny man.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Roosevelt for Vice President.-Co-
incidentally with the return Of the Hon.
Thomas Collier Plat to New York for the
season there is a lively revival of the talk
| of forcing the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
upon the ticket with Mr.. Mckinley, nolens
volens. A series of questions pertinent to
this scheme were put to Senator Plat Sat
| urday and his answers seemed to indicate
| that the plan to stampede the Philadel-
| phia Convention to the Rough Rider has
f.. not been abandoned. Roosevelt would be
| the strongest candidate who could be
| named for Vice President" said Mr.. Plat.
Do you think his nomination is essential
| to the success of the ticket?' he was
asked. Not absolutely was the hest
| tating reply. "Of course, Roosevelt would
| accept" Senator Plat was further induced
! TO say. Still. do not wish to see him
| forced to accept" declared Mr.. Platt. for
| he has told me life would be a burden to
| him as Vice President 1t is we'll
| known fact that at the various conferences
| held at the White House during the past
| few days between Mr.. Mckinley, Mr.. Han
ma. and Mr. Dick the Vice Presidency has
been the principal subject of discussion.
The details of the organization Of the
convention long ago were disposed of. but
the second place on the ticket has been
open ever since Governor Roosevelt pub
licly declared, more than two months ago,
that he did not want to go on the ticket.
Until he made that declaration both Mr..
Hanna and Mr.. Mckinley had dealt only
with his name in their calculations. AT
first they We're inclined to resent Roose-
felt's positive declination, but after a
careful canvass of the field they were I'M
able to find anybody to take his place,
and so they have been talking very mildly
about Roosevelt Mr.. Hanna does not now
desire to take the lead in stampeding the
Philadelphia Convention to the New
Yorker. but there is excellent reason for |
believing that he would feel very. grateful |
to the person who starts the crowds in |
the Quaker City next week to bowling |
Justify for Roosevelt whenever the en- |
thusiasm wanes. A large element of we'll |
informed Republicans in Washington have |
never consented to the view that Roose- |
welt was out of consideration for the Vice |
Presidency. These persons have held all |
along that Roosevelt's nomination was a |
party necessity. and in such an emer-
gency no Republican has ever been known
to shirk plain duty. Logan was put on
the ticket with Blaine in just such an
emergency as that which now besets Mr..
Hanna and Mr.. Mckinley. Logan was
bigger man in a way than Roosevelt is.
And so the Rough Rider may continue to
shy and cavort but when the lariat en-
circles his neck on about the morning of
June q and the mighty Mark Hanna pulls
