Newspaper dispatches indicate rather
plainly that the Republican organization
is becoming somewhat torn to pieces by
revision and rate regulation. General
Charles II. Grosvcnor, accounted Of old
n staunch wheel horse has declined to
speak In Philadelphia under the auspices
OF tho Republican machine, alleging that
he has gotten in the way Of speaking the
truth In his speeches, Annd Sometimes
that doesn't help the people who have in
vited him to speak," Secretary Taft Is to
Akron, O., on October Dist. Senator
Foraker whose recent expressions have
not been in accord with administrative
sentiment Is to speak OF the same occa-
lie the senator's position, II rather en-
barrassing situation Is likely to be
created. The House contains many Re-
pubcnns, who arc sincere advocates Of
tariff revision and are perslstenly talking
It. The Senate, too, is exhibiting steady
interest in the question, despite tho fact
that there is little prospec. Of anyehing
being actually accomplished
The Republican differences Of opinion,
however. may not impossibly rebound to
Democratic advantage in the. Fifty-ninth
Congress. Though Mr.. Roosevelt with
drew tariff revision as n leading Issue at
the present time with q view to further
fng his plans for railway rate regula-
tons, the Senate Is believed to be firm
~ opposed to those plans, and 1t UNI
derstood that the rate regulation bill,
to the accompaniment Of loud profess
sicns OF sympathy will be quietly
drugged to death.

Mr.. McCurdy got very hot under the
collar when he felt that Lawyer Hughes
was making a fool Of him. Apparently,
however. he has no objection whatever
TO being made out n knave.
