One purpose of these letters Is to In
troduce to the notice Of my readers the
rising members of the house, especially
new and young Democratic represents
tiYes who give unusual promise of fu-
ture eminenee. In the great debate on
the armor plate feature Of the naval
appropriation bill trio OF young Dem
ocrats showed forth respIendent-Wil

They trampled them in the mud: that's
all.

than that ex-senator and exChairman
of the National Committee Quay should
find some way Of evening up the score
with Senator and Chairman of the Ma

It would be awful on the Republicans
to lose that $3.50. .000, 900 steal. but not
SO bad as to lose President Mckinley.
