WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE COMING DEMOCRATIC LEAD-
ER IN THE HOUSE. ,

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.

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

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
