Secretary Hay will this week return
to Washington and resume his duties
at the head OF the Department. Estate.
This will efectually dispose OF the
long line OF democratic stories about
his not being in accord with President
Mckinley on the Chinese policy of
this government. AS matter OF fact
Secretary Hay has Kept in close touch
with every move made by this govern
ment since he went away for q peeded
rest and has been constantly consulted
by the President land as another mat
ter of fact, the policy of this govern
ment in China has not been changed
in the slightest degree since it was
tirst announced last July, to the pow
ers in diplomatic communication
signed by Secretary Hay, as may be
seen by any one who will take the tro-
| uble to procure and read a copy of
that note, which was published in all
the daily newspapers.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming,
brought good news from the states
west of the Missouri river to Washing
ton. He says that while only two of
them went for Mckinley four years
ago, six of them are certain to do so
this year-California, Oregon. Washing
ton, Wyoming, South Dakota and
Kansas-and six more Nebraska, Colo
RADIO, Nevada, Montana. Idaho, and
Utah, may Go So Senator Warren
was with Governor Roosevelt's party
for awhile, and he said that the COVER
nor's trip which has aroused an un-
usual lot of enthusiasm, nearly every
where he has spoken, has done Won
derful lot Of good, not only by waking
up the republicans, but by making
converts of those who were in doubt
as to how they would vote. He says
! the republican party was never in bet
ter fighting trim in the west than it is
right now
The New York State Republican
Club is one of the most enthusiastic OF
the state organizations IN Washington.
The following quotations from speech
es made at its regular weekly meeting,
are both apt and interesting: Mn w.
G.. Conner, of New York 'The great
paramount issue of the democratic
party is the greatest fake issue ever
foisted before the American people.
Not one step has been taken by our
President but what has been strictly
within the limits of constitutional
power. There is no imperialism un-
der the stars and stripes and there
never will be" Mr.. ]. j. Weed, of Vt.
People can only judge from the past.
We know that the democratic party,
! with free trade under Grover Cleve-
land, did, and we also know what the
republicans have done in the last three
years and half, and know all of us
are satisfied that only by casting our
vote for William Mckinley can the
present unprecedented prosperity be
continued" Hon. Irving DUNCAN, OF
/ Ohio who was democratic Represen-
tative at the same time Mr.. Bryan
was SIN the last three and one-hall
years, more prosperity and trade have
come to the country than at any other
time in one hundred years. Bryan
admits this himself and cannot ac'
count for it. We are now lending
country, and when the democratic
party went out OF power we were bor-
rowers. Expansion is here, and the
/ My thing to do IS for the American
people to keep in front that splendid
4 man they placed in the White house
four years ago."
j Senator Shoup has written friends
! in Washington expressing strong hope
OF a republican vic tory in idaho, ant
similar letters are being received from
Montana republicans concerning thai
state.
