AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Senator Deboe and Col. Irish Call on
the President.
THEY TALK OF POLITICAL SITUATION
Senator Says kentucky Will Surely
Go Republican.
BRY A SLU Mp IN " f S T

President Mckinley had two enthusiastic
political leaders with him today. They
were not the kind to tell the President one
thing and say another for the benefit of the
public. They were literally running over
with enthusiasm over the republican out
look. Both are men of conservative Ideas
and careful thought, and would not give
expression to exuberant predictions unless
they had good grounds for their utterances-
They were Senator Deboe of Kentucky and
Col. John p. Irish of California. Senator
Deboe will be here until tomorrow. He
called on the President this morning to re-
port the prospects in Kentucky. To rep
resentatfve of The Star he said:
Il never saw the situation in Kentucky
better for the republican party. There is
absolutely no question in my mind that we
will carry the state by a good majority.
The Brown democrats will vote for Yerkes
almost to a man to rebuke the continue ton
OF Goebeiite methods in the state. Many
of them will likewise vote for Mckinley
Bryan came into the state and identified
himself with Beckham. For that reason
the Brown supporters will vote against
him. In 1896 there We're 1000 or 5000 pop
ulists who voted for Bryan. The most of
them will vote against him this time. The
trial OF the political cases has not benefited
the democrats. but on the other hand has
lost them votes. l say with all confidence
that Mckinley and Yer6es will carry the
state. l have been in every campaign in
the state for many years and l can truth
fully say that the republican prospects
nave never been better"
Col. Irfsh's Predictions.
Col. Irish is one of the gold democrats
who did not return to Bryan and who has
been doing effective campaign work He
mas recently spoken in Kansas and Indiana
This is the way he looks at the situation
west of the Mississippi river:
Bryan Is going to be beaten in Nebraska
Kansas, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and California. There has been a great
s.ump in Bryanism in the west and the i'm
mense change in sentiment can hardly be
estimated here in the east. The BRYAN
movement out our way is ham-strung His
former supporters in the west are laugh
Ing in their sleeves at any show of en-
thusiasm for him in the east California
will go for Mckinley by 10000 majority
Indiana Is good for 10000. ana people who
ought TO know say Kansas will give
10000. There is no exaggeratiOn in this
as the change in sentiment is something
marvellous.
