QUAY
INDORSED THE APPLICATION
AFTER HE FOUND OUT WHO
THE MAN WAS.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June o
Charles F. McKenna, a lawyer. of
Pittsburg. was this morning appoint
ed United States district Judge for
Porto Rico
Mr. AIcKenna was recommended
iy Representative Dalzell. and it is
related that when Representative Dali
Zel went TO Senator Quay, shortly
before the latters death, in order to
procure his Endorsement. the Senator
at first declined saying that he did not
know Mckenna.
But you did know him we'll enough
at Fredericksburg" replied Dalzell,
Ito accept from him the offer Of a
horse after your own had been shot
from under you.
We'll. if he is the man that stole
that horse for me-" said the Senator,
Il will certainly have to indirse him.
The Endorsement was about the last
act of the Pennsylvania statesman.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN AT ST
LOUIS.

Mr. Bryan will hold the solid del
egation from his own State in the ST.
Louis convention. Mr.. Hearst adds
Wyoming, Montana, some territories
and Hawaii to his string. Parker
gets Georgia and Tennessee, but
still the great body of Democratic
delegates are uninstructed. and the
identity of the nominee cannot vet be
guessed.
With the scattering delegates and
delegations picked up here and there
by Hearst. the personal following OF
Mr. Bryan and the large number OF
uninstructed delegates. the radicals
may yet be able to swing the neces-
sarv third to prevent the reOrgan-
izers from naming their man. And
if Mr.. Bryan is at his best. and
strikes the proper psychological mo-
1nent, he may lift the convention
from it's feet and carry his man and
his platform through. He has done II
before, and the ''reorSanlzerS should
go to the convention supplied With
good, strong article of glue to hold
themselves fast in their seats if W.
J. gets off one OF his thrilling cross
of-gold and crown-of-thorns flights OF
oratory In courage, dash and elo-
auence the anti-Bryan Democrats will
have no one in the convention that
will be a match for the Nebraska
man.
And the reorganizers. in other
words, the dodgers and expediency
men, know just what they will be up
a against at ST. Louis. Mr. Bryan has
been elected to head the Nebraska
delegation on his own platform re-
affirming the Kansas City platform.
His personal following, added TO the
Hearst contingent of from 15O TO 200
delegates will form the nucleus OF a
fighting body of anti-reorSanlzer
Democrats which promise to give the
Parker-HillGpr Cleveland combi-
nation all they want to do in the
coming clash at ST. Louis.
The action of the Democratic Ma
tional convention on Mr.. Cleveland's
proposition to return to sanity" can
not at$th1s time be safely predicted

BARNES FOR STATE SUPERiN,
TENDENT.

Prof j. Walter Barnes. formerly
principal of the State Normal School
at Fairmont. is spoken of as cand1-
date for the nomination for superln-
tendent of schools. Prof Barnes is
one of the best known educators OF
the State and stands high in the IA
vor of his party.-WheelinS Tele-
graph.
Professor Barnes would make as
good a candidate as the Democrats
could name. He is. and always has
been, a loyal and strong party man.
Tie lost his position at the Norma !
School because of his activity in pol
itics, and if the Democracy can give
him slight token of goodwill in
nominating him for State Superln-
tendent of Schools, that will be the
proper thing to do.
