the Republican side, but from that
standpoint it was very gratifying to
me. Everybody seemed enthusiastic
for the ticket and ready to turn out
and work for it's success. We have
hoped right on the backs of the
Democrats as soon we got them out
Of their holes, and we shall stick till
election day. I did not have an OPP
por tunity to study the Democratic
prospects in West Virginia, but
can say that while [ did not see any
Republicans who were not going to
vote for Mckinley, [ did see some
Democrats who were not going to
vote for Bryan" Senator Elkins is
too modest to say much about hls.own
unanimous endorsement for re-elec-
ton to the senate ,but.he is naturally
very proud of it and confident of
success for himself as we'll as the ma
tional ticket.
Hon. Perry Heath, who will re.
sign the position of first assistant
postmaster. general to become secre-
tary of the Republican National
committee, is preparing to go to Chi

quarters of the committee. The New
York branch headquarters will be
opened later. Sen ator Scott, of West
Virginia, will have charge of the as
signment of speakers in the East and
II. G. Hedges. of Ohio, will look after
those in the West.
