VOL. LXXII. 23, 1899. NO. 46 WASHINGTON LETTER. THE COMING DEMOCRATIC LEAD- ER IN THE HOUSE. , A Lively Campaign Ahead In Selecting the Right Man —Hendarson to do Me- Kinley’s Bidding, Nov, 2).—Represen* of Tenn., is the first WasHinaTON, tative Richardson, ocratic nomination for speaker of the House, whic carries with it the Dem- of pie from the official counter. One of the last to be fed was Mr, H, W, Hart, a young lawyer of Alliance, who has been appointed U, 8. Consul, at Dusselldorf, Germany, considered a very desirable post, to fill a vacancy caused by death. The statement that Boss Hanna had told Mr. McKinley that he would not remain at the head of the Republican to be head ofl Republicans. Hanna may retire, but if he does, it will be because he knows Geialic hour leadership Suring the Fif- ty-sixth Congress, to reach Washing | tor and open head Wy Mr. Rich- | srdeon says he has received more pledges of support than any one of the | otber three candidates—Bunkhead, of Als, De Armond, of Mo., sud Sulzer, | of N. Y.—and expresses confidence in | his success, but the friend of the other! caniidstes also express confidences of the <uccess of their man in natured contest for the Democratic leadership in the House, Mr. of Texas, has not yet reached Wash- | ington, but he stated during the last! sescion that he would not again be a! candidate, but would support Mr. Bankhead for the honor. predicting that there will bea lock in the caucus and that the friends of 4ll the candidates will compromise by nominating Mr, Bailey again, this good Jailey, Nome are! dead. | If there were any doubt about Rep- resentative Henderson hdving been | the administration’s choice for SBpeak- er, it would have been dissipated by what has occurred since his arrival in| Washington. Almost before he liad removed the dust of travel from his | clothes, he called at the White House | to know whether Mr. McKinley had | any orders to give as to the Committee | assienroents, aside from the packing of the Commiitee on Banking and | Currency in favor of the single gold! standard bill, which was ordered last | summer. Mr. Henderson is going to | McKinley BRpeaker, and House, instead of registering the of t zar Heed as the last one did, register the will of Mr, McKinley. In order to get control of the Senate | Finance Committee of which a majori- | ty have for years been silver men, even ginco the Committee was controlled by the Republicans, the gold worshippers | are going to reorganize the Senate! Committee, giving the Republicans | nine members in those consisting be a this will wiitl of eleven. Even then the good men | will only bave a majority of one in the Finance Committee, as Jones, of Nevada, classed as a silver Republiean | and Wolcott, of Colorado, himself a Republican bimetallist, can be eounted upon to act with the silver maen on the question of reporting a bill | to enact the single gold standard. The four Demoeratic members of this Come : mittee are Vest, of Mo., Jones, of Apr! kanses, Daniels, of Va,, and Chilton, | of Texas, all staunch silver men. Un-| less Mr, MeKinley gots frightened by those Republicans, who although will-|, ing to vote for a gold standard bill if! compelled to do so, believe it will badd policy to pass one on the eve of a! Presidential campaign, such a bill is | likely to be jammed through at this | session of Congress. It will depend! laryely upon the attitude taken by Mr, McKinley in his message to Congress, | Nothing could more clearly show the close relations existirg between | Sec etary Gage and the Wall street speculators, and the absolute control of {his a lministration by the money Kings, than the manner in which See- retary Gage went to the rescue of the Wall street crowd, by purchasing $25, 000 1500 worth of Government bonds. Not two hours before the order was of- ficially issued by those bonds, Secreta | ry Gage assured newspaper men that! uo bonds would be bought. Later he | received his orders from Wall street, and promptly obeyed by ordering al purchase of bonds. When the Wall! street gang squeezes the public, the government never goes to tha relief of the public, but let the screws be turn- ed a few times on the big speculators, and the treasury dumps a big wad of public money into Wall street to ease the pinch, and the gullible public is expected to accept the statement that it i» u patriotic act, done to prevent a finuneinl panie, when it is well known that it is really done to prevent loss on the part of the big speculators, who do not hesitate to make situations threat. ening a money panic whenever they think it profitable to do so, because of their knowledge that the U. 8. Treas. ury is behind them. There will come a time~it will have to come—when Wall street speculators will not dictate the actions of the U. 8. Treasury, but it will not come until there is an administration in power that does not ows its election to money put up by the gre. | speculators of the country. There will be a chance to elect such an administration next year, be | : Although the election is over, Ohio own will and getting kicked out. nna A A A Odd Contention on Catching Fish, Piseatorialists and pewspapers out- side of Pensnylvania are manifesting | both interest and amusement over aj novel contention in law that has been | before the Monroe county minor higher courts since last May. question at issue is whether a landing af - counsel a net may be er the fish used in catehing trout are hooked.
