to proclaim would be to seriously en-
barrass the Democratic party.
Mr. Donald said he heard considerable
talk about the probable candidacy of
Hon Harry Tucker for Congress in the
Tenth District. but from what he could
learn he hardly thought he would en-

ROOT STANDS FOR IT.
Ready to Explain Payment of
Money to Gomez.

Washington, June 16.-Secretary Root
has assumed full responsibility fer the
payment OF money to Gen Gomez BY
Gen. Wood, during the American occu-
patton of Cuba and If congress asks for
an explanation of the matter, he stands
prepared to furnish what he regards as
the most convincing proofs that the
payments were dictated by the wisest
craftsmanship. This declaration on the
part Of the secretary grew out OF the
following press dispatch sent out of
New Orleans:
Within a week there will be revealed
at Washington the most sensational
transaction that has yet come to light
in connection with the investigation now
going on of the expenditures of money
made by Governor Leonard Wood dur
ing his regime in Cuba" said Charles
M. Dobson, the former starr correSpon-
dent for the Associated Press at Ha-
vana, Cuba, while in this city on his
way to New York.
1T will be disclosed that Governor
Wood paid the sum Of $25. 600 to Maxine
Gomez, the so-colled Cuban patriot and
that this sum was a bribe paid with the
sanction Of the Mckinley adTninistra tiol1
to prevent any outbreaks OF the popu-
lace at the time Of the last national
election in the United States. I know
just where the check for this sum Of
money can be found. I know right
where to lay my hands on it,

CURTIS IS WEAKENING.
Now Believed He VIII Consent
to AnthOny's appointment.

Washington. June 16.-Congressman
Curtis had a conference with President
Roosevelt this morning regarding the
Leavenworth postof1ee. Mr.. Curtis says
that nothing was accomplished and
that he is still insisting on Wizards
appointment.
Charges have been fled against Will
lard but Curtis says they are not grave
enough to defeat confirmation.
A conference has been arranged for
this afternoon by the president between
him, Scott and Curtis and the Anthonys
The president is known to feel exceed
ingly friendly toward the Anthonys and
regrets that any contest should have
day between him and the Anthonys.
If possible.
It is believed here today that some
agreem ent will be reached whereby VII
lard viii be taken care Of in some way,
enabling him to withdraw and thus
make it possible for Curtis to reappoint
D. r. Anthony, jr., in fact it is said
Curtis has agreed to such an arrange
ment, although he denies that this was
agreed to at a conference held Satur-
day between him and the Anthonys?

The Springfield Union points out the
difference between Quay and Addicls
in this way: 1t is just here that Mr.
Addicks Of Delaware falls short Of be-
ing a great man-such a man as Mr..
Quay, for instance. When Mr.. Addicks
has things to do he hires brass bands
and brass drums and transparencies
and things and announces It all before
hand. When Mr.. Quay has anything to
do he sits tight, holds fast, and when
the crash comes he has the greatest
headway, and wins. Matthew Stanley
Quay of Pennsylvania is a great man.
He comes pretty near being as great a
man as Marcus Hanna Of Ohio. Maybe
he's greater-for on Pennsylvania, and
her bearing toward national affairs in
the next two years, great things depend.

Since the state convention Mr. Bailey has
been at home at work on his farm. His
private business had been neglected before
the convention and he has been busy
bringing it up. He could not even take
time to attend the Third district congress
stonal convention at Winfield last week.
Mr.. Bailey is here today to talk over
matters with the Republican leaders, con
fer with the other candidates relative to
the organization of the state committee,
in which the candidates have considerable
to say, and to attend to the meeting Of the
committee tomorrow evening
Il thought I would run down and get ac-
quainted with the boys again. said Mr..
Bailey today. Il have been kept pretty
close at home since the convention and
have not had time to see them very much.

increased 5000 in the two years since
the enumeration made by the United

rate of growth be maintained until the
next census. 10000 persons will be added
to the number now residing within the
