is really an advocate of Arthur P. Cor
mans nomination for President, and has
been doing some quiet work for him in
Pennsylvania. After the revelation of
Pattison's instability of character at

may be true, provided it does not put
him in the light of working for the in

From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t is doubtful whether the meeting of
the National Convention of the Republi-
can party at Philadelphia-an event now
little more than six weeks distant-will
throw an additional ray of light upon
the political situation. The work of the
convention is, in fact, already cut out for
it and no change of program is likely to
occur. Mr.. Mckinley will be renomi-
mated by acclamation and without Orlo-
sition.
