him or his suborainates to engage as
actively in campaign as those who
follow private vooations. Every oc-
cupant of Federal office in Mary

Prominent members of the House
have assured the President that the
Cuban reciprocity resolution would
be passed at the extra session of con-
gress. Representative Jones, of WASH
inRton, who was one of the strongest
opponents of ths Curban reciprocity
treaty In the last congress, told the
President that although he still op-
posed the measure personally, he
would vore for it when it came up in
the House. The beet sugar interests
have withdrawn their opposition to
the treaty. The discussion will give
the Democrats an opportunity to talk
against the tariff and it is expected
that they will take every advantage
of it. Many speeches denoucning the
tariff will be useful at home during
the coming presidential campaign SO
they will be delivered in spite of the
fact that there is no hope of stopping
the passage of the resolution which
will make the treaty effective.
There is q report that Speaker-to-
be-Oannon will enlarge the House
committee on rules in order to avoid
the necessity Of removing Represen-
tatives Dalzell and Grosvenor, who
were on the last committee and who
are not in entire agreement with the
new speaker on the way in which the
business of the House should be con-
Quoted. Many Republican members
would be gald to see these two men
omitted in the forming Of the new
but such action would
cause dissension in the party ranks,
SO the easier way would be to add
two more liberal Republicans who
would support the speaker. This
would necessitate adding another
Democrat to the committee and as
there are arleady two Democratic
the commmittee would be
a little nuwieldly. However, this is
one of the problems which confront
the new speaker and in solving it ne
should not lose sight of the fact that
many Republicans favor the adoption
If more liberal rules. or at least an
.bridgment of the powers OF Dalzell
md Grosvenor who are autocratic and
advocates of the Reed
henderson rules.

GoRMAN THE MAN.
Elk Representative Price Says That is
the Democratic Feeling South.

Col. w. P. Price of Dahlonega, Ga,
former member of Congress from that
state and for more than thirty years presi-
dent of the hoard of trustees of the North
Georgia Agricultural and Military College,
has been in town several days on business
connected with the War Department, re-
lating to the equipment with modern artil-
lery and rifles of the military department
of his college. TO a Star reporter who
asked him about the democratic view in
his state of the democratic presidential
nominee next year he said: There Is a par
ticularly strong feeling in Georgia, as
there appears to be throughout the south,
that Senator German of Maryland would
be the best and safest man the democrats
could nominate, His public and private
records are clean, and he is undoubtedly
one of the big men of the party. To my
mind. Senator German is more like the late
President Mckinley, who was my personal
friend. than any man in the democratic
party. He possesses the same tempera-
ment and many of the same characteristics.
Like Mckinley, he is both a statesman and
a politician. He is tactful, thoughtful and
able. and would be loved by the people.
He would come nearer winning than any
man the democrats could nominate. Mr..
Cleveland is a strong man, but the talk of
his nomination is to be deprecated The
American people have long ago settled the
proposition of third term, and will not

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 27.-The re-

President Roosevelt for denomination and
declared against any change in the present
tariff schedules
The state administration was strongly
indorsed and no mention was made in the
platform of the Grady-Salus libel law en-
acted by the recent legislature.
United States Senator Quay declined to
accept reelection as chairman of the state
committee and his colleague, Senator Boies
Penrose was chosen as his successor.
Remarkable for Unanimity.
The convention was remarkable for the
business and the lack Of contest for the
four places on the state ticket.
Senator William p. Snyder of Chester
county was nominated for auditor general.
William L. Matthues Of Delaware county
for state treasurer and Judges Thomas A.
Morrison of Mexican county and John j.
Henderson of Crawford county for supe-
rior court judges.
Judges Morrison and Henderson are at
present members Of the superior court by
appointment of the governor and their
nomination is for the full term of ten
years
Much Earlier Than Usual.
The convention was held much earlier
than usual on .'off years" on account of
the desire of Senator Quay and other party
leaders to be away during the summer.
Senator Quay was not here during the
convention; and his interests were In charge
of Senator. Penrose and other lieutenants

MCCLELLAN STATUE COMMISSION
Efforts to Hold Meeting Have Been
in Vain,

Notwithstanding repeated efforts to bring
the members OF the Mcclellan statue COM
mission together for the purpose of select
ing a design for the proposed statue in this
city 1t has been found impossible to do SO.
The commission, constituted by Congress,
is composed of Secretary Root, Senator
Wetmore of Rhode Island and Gen. Rug
giles, U. s. A. retired, the last named rep
resenting the Society of the Army of the
Tennessee. The difficulty is to arrange for
a meeting of the commission, and 1t seems
impossible for the three gentlemen to ar
range their affairs so as to be In the same
city at the same time. Gen. Ruggles has
been at the War Department several times
during the past two or three months for
the purpose of meeting his associates. Re-
Gently he returned from a visit to Bermuda
and remained here about two weeks, but
Senator Wetmore found it impracticable to
come here at that time.
Several days ago General Ruggles found
1t necessary to go to northern New York,
and 1t Is not known when he will be able to
return to Washington. Senator Wetmore
arrived in this city the latter part of last
week and found that Secretary Root had
gone to New York. He awaited his return
last night and the two gentlemen met at
the War Department today in the hope OF
fixing a definite time for meeting of the
commission.
F. Owing, however, to the conflicting en-
gagements for the summer months of the
three commissioners it was still found inn
possible to fix upon a definite date for q
meeting The only thing that could be
done, therefore, was to agree to arrange for
a meeting in this city some time during
the summer, about the early part of July
If possible
The summer plans of the commissioners
are somewhat in doubt at this time Sec
retary Root expects to visit London late in
the summer in his capacity as member of
the Alaskan boundary commission. Sena-
tor Wetmore will spend most of the sum-
ner at his home in Newport and General
Ruggles movements are at present un-
known. except that he expects to remain

DARE HANNA TURN DEAF EARp"
Strong Utterances From Leading Re-
a publican Paper.

Special Dispatrh to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, My 27.-The editorial
utterances of the Toledo Blade, probably
the most dignified republican newspaper in
Ohio on the Roosevelt Endorsement propo-
publican party in this state over this mat
ter has become. The Blade last night said:
President Roosevelt will be indorsed un-
equivocally by Ohio republicans unless the
lash is applied to the delegates by Senator
Hanna.
1.-The great masses OF republicans
throughout the state demand the adop-
ton of a resolution pledging Ohio to Roose-
welt in 1904. Dare Senator Hanna turn
deaf ear to their insistence?
FAT this stage of the proceedings Senator
Hanna cannot afford to throw off his toga
as leader and take up the club of boss"
The Blade points out that Lucas countys
twenty-five delegates to the state conven-
tion were in favor of indorsng Roosevelt
for 1904 when chosen, but now are nom
committal.
Revenue Collector G. P. Waldorf, a dele.
gate, says he is willing now to abide by
Senator Hanna's Judgment and Oil In
spector Frank Baird, who was shouter
for the indorsing resolution a week ago,
now says that Lucas county's delegation
at the state convention will cast twenty
seven votes mo" on that resolution.
Such utterances as these must have made
it apparent to Senator Hanna that, even
though he could have controlled the con-
vention. he could not have prevented ex-
