Washington, Nov. Tone OF the most notable
features OF Tuesdays election was the demon
stration OF the fact that the Western States
which were temporarily led astray by the advo-
tates Of Populism and the free coinage Of silver
have been won hack into the Republican party
rhey have been gradually coming back 20 their
former political moorings ever since the cam
paign Of 1896 but this year. with few excep-
lions. they are anchored so strongly in the Re-
publican line that they can safely be counted on
b any event lees than a complete political
revolution. Even the few Western States which
can be considered in any way doubtful at this
time can with reasonable certainty be trusted to
give Republican majorities in the Presidential
election two years hence.
This marked change is accounted for In part
by the remarkable prosperity which the whole
western section Of the country has enjoyed
nince the return of the Republican party to
power in all branches Of the government, and
partly by the personal popularity OF President
Roosevelt in that section of the country. Al
though he is an Eastern man, he is claimed by
The Western States as one Of their own people,
and in the campaign which has just closed thou

WANTS DOGS ALLOWED IN FLATS
THE s P. c. A. OPPOSES THE PROPOSED
ORDINANCE KEEPING THEM OUT.

The American Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals has set itself against the pro-
posed ordinance prohibiting the keeping Of dogs in
flats or apartment houses. and President Hafnes on
October "A sent to Alderman Mathews. chairman Of
the Committee on Laws and Legislation, letter on
the subject which has just been made public
President Haines asks for a hearing on the
ordinance, and says in part:
People of moderate means living in apartme nts or
flats just much entitled to have pet dogs as
the wealthy residing in private residences ana the
passage of this ordinance would prevent the former
from keeping while the latter would stll ENJOY
the privilege 1t is class legislation of the worse
kind. 1-.
The late Colonel Warning. Commissioner of Street
Cleaning, attempted to have the Board OF
Aldermen pass a resolution restricting the liberties
of dogs and dog of this city but as soon as
publicity was given to the measure its promoter
was glad to withdraw it on account of the wide
opposition which ii met to nothing or the rld-
Guile which il brought upon his head.
About the same time Senator Page introduced
into the Senate a bill prohibiting the Keeping OF a
dog or dogs by any person living in tenement or
apartment house This bill was, in effect, the same
as the ordinance introduced by Alderman Cold
water. As to be expected. the bill met with
bitter opposition and failed make any progress.
The portion Of the ordinance referred to Is the
first section. and reads as follows:
No person shall keep or harbor any dog or dogs in
the city of New-York in any apartment house, nat
house or tenement house occupied by more thah
family.

NEW POSTOFFICE SITE.
GOVERNMENT COMMISSION TO MAKE a
SELECTION IN THIS CITY SOON
my TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Secretary Shaw. AT
torney General Knox and Postmaster General
Payne the commission provided by law to select
a site for new postofice in New-York and re-
port to Congress, will soon be called together by
Secretary Shaw, who is the ranking member
and will endeavor to have suitable site selected
in time for Congress to authorize its purchase at
the coming session.
All of the papers relating TO sites that have
been offered are in the possession Of the Secre
tary Of the Treasury A table will be made up
showing the location, area and price of each site
offered, and the commission will visit New
York and look them over. In making the final
selection the commission will be governed by
the location, the area Of land available and the
price AS the prices of the tracts offered have
generally been put UP TO rather high figures. it
is probable that the commission may select
some other suitable site and try to have rea-
sonable price set on it by direct negotiations
with the owner or owners. The questions of
location and of available will be carefully
considered by the commission. An ideal post
office is one in which most of the work of
handling and sorting mails Is done on the
ground floor. This makes it desirable to secure
the greatest possible within reasonable
limits of cost. In locating the office it Is de-
srable to have 1t close as possible to the rail
way stations by which the greater part of the
convenient TO great lines of city travel and the
business sections.
The decision as to the location may depend
largely on the action of the NewYork city au-
thorities in regard to the Pennsylvania tunnel
and terminal. If this terminal is TO be estab-
Iished in the Borough of Manhattan there will
be strong advocates among the officials of the
Postofice Department in favor of establishing
the postofice near that terminal. There are
strong influences at work in New-York to secure
its location near possible to the New-York
Central terminal. and there may be contest
between these rival railway interests over the
choice of the site
In addition to selecting the site. the commits
sion is to report on the character and probable
cost Of the building. which ii is desirable TO
erect on it. There promises TO be some con-
trOversy over this point The postotiice officials
want a workshop rather than an architectural
monument, and they Will advocate building
not more than two stories high. with the largest
possible floor space and plenty of light and air
1t is feared that such building this would
not be satisfactory to the NewYork members
of Congress, and that they will insist on the
erection Of more monumental structure.

those engaged in it,
