Senators had made personal requests of Mr, McKinley to allow Mrs, Kenna, widow of the late Senator Kenna, to remain postmaster at Charleston, W.

But Mr. Petty will have to be confirm- ed by the Senate before he gets that office, and present indications are that he will not find that altogether easy. At a conference of silver Republi- cans and Populists, attended by every Senator and Representative of both parties, the plan for a general co-opera- tion in the Congressional Campaign with the Democrats was unanimously ratified.
