Up was brimful and 1 mining- over with thi "slgnlll eantly cordial reception" he Rot in New Yoik. With school boy clntlou he tells how the claw-hnmmcr Demo. rats ovatcd hint and made litin fiol perfectly nt home ainonff the Four Hundred. He talks rnpturotr&ly of hld tntr hli nether limbs under IJelmont's mahogany, and wpenks feelingly of the niistocratlc feed that cauncd him to almost forget the now rll-pen"atlon which 111 tolerates any higher form of wealth than soup house prospeilty and empty dinner palls. He comes back hilariously, exubeiantly optimistic. Ho is an n vowed oppoitunlst. Imperial ism Is to be the Democratic phibbolet'i in the eastern states. Sixteen to one Is to be the rallying cry in the Pop ullstlc AVest and South, and the labor ing man is to be harrangued with the burning; story that capital has de prived him of his share lti the pios lKrity that has blesstd the land. Hryan's closest friends here were con fident that his New York visit would be productive of just this result. Hryan has not abandoned the silver agitation by any means In this ar rangement for It is practically elimin ated for the present, they say, by the Hepubllcan currency bill -which will soon become a law. A revival of tho silver question as n political issue Is dependent wholly upon the Jepeal of the enactment which this congres will make. That is 'way In the future. Too far ahead to make its contempla tion now of any use In practical poli ties. So the gold Democrats nre ei ow dins around the mourners bench, Mr. llrynn siys, and he holds out to them the hope that while the lamp or lliyanlsm Is aglow In the land the llest backslider may return. Tie shook hands with Gorman aeros the Giid Iion table piettv much In this spirit, so one of the dlekcv blids siys. AVhat happens at a Orlrlltnn lo'st Is never lpiealed, of course, but it Just leaks out somehow. Hi. van is a favoilte with newspaper people.

The leading- New York candidate for the Hepubllcan vlce-piesldeiitlal nom ination Is the pierent lieutenant gov ernor of that state, Mr. Timothy D. Woodiuff. In politics he Is known as "l'latt's man," and If he li mentioned ns "Plntt's candidate for vlce-prejl-dent" it Is because New Yorkers of his own political ulllliatlon speak of him In that wav. It may not be t. famlllnilty that suggests tnslgnlii I'.im e. mi far as the candidate Is con cerned, but It Is belittling to the office to thus speak of the man who Is to till It Mr. Woodiuff will be 4C yeais old In Auguut following the Philadelphia convention. His forebears were, among the oilglnal settler? In New Hnglnnd and he wns born in Connecti cut, near the birthplace of Charles Kmoiy Smith, a,nd sK yeais later than the postmaster-general. Wh"ii n smill boy he was patted on the heaJ by J-ilnenln nnd later In life was a chum of Fiank Piatt's at Yilo. Hence the subsequent political relations he sustains towards tho eld"r Piatt. A successful buMness man in a quiet way, he nan made some money In salt and patent medicine. He has been something of a politic! in too. Blaine trusted him. Thtough Hussell Harilson, whom he met at the Chicago convention in 18S8, he reached the el der Harrison. After the Hanison campaign he dropped politics, and got up to his neck In the social swim In Biooklyn and New Yoik. The Iphetonga and the Biooklyn Biding and Driving club were the teal social attractions In Biook ln. He Joined both. He got the best turnouts, the finest horses, lilied Lily Iangtiy's Kngllsh coachman, who was acknowledged to be the finest of his class, and soon Woodruff's winning of pil7es at the annual shows became the talk of the tow n. Thing of this, he wanted to be tho Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in IV).". He again appealed to his old college chum Trank saw the "old man" about It and sine enough "Tim" was nomi nated, and though Governor Black was tuined down, he was to-nominated on the Roosevelt ticket last ear. With his, panmamlc waistcoats he would b a dazzling ornament In the vice-president's chali "a thing of beauty, if not a Joy foieei." But Mark Hanna sajs the pib.e hotse-show winner and ownei of Lily Langtiy's faiipeili coachman, Is leally too young! And one who inns up against the lough ends of Hanna's hard, hoiso-sense seldom escapes with out some Important and valuable in formation. In this connection the man behind the throne w.is asked for an opinion about the nomlnationof Charles Hmory Smith for the ilce-piesldeney. "I am not talking just now on that subject, my dear boy, for publication," he leplled, "but if you want my opin ion of Smith as postmaster geneial and of Smith as a man, 3,011 aie welcome to it. They don't make 'em any bet ter. Now, don't ask another thing. I know what's coming. Don't, don't, don't. T tell you, I can't talk about It." "Well, just one moie question about somebody else," queried The Ttibune Rolls. correspondent. "Is It true that Senator Elklna la the president's candl ?" "Walt, stop right there. X know what the question Is," interrupted the blR Ohio man, who elected McKlnley presi dent. "I can't talk on that subject now. Senator Klklns conies from a doubtful but very small state. West Virginia Is Just ns likely to go Demo cuitlc ns Hepubllcan, without any re gard to the vice-presidency. Senator Klklns stands very close to the presi dent." He Is a blg-biained, blg-bodled Ohio mini, Ohio wantfi the whole earth, nnd with the president and vice-nrcsident both from Unit state It may ho ex tiected that some modest, If not ob scure, Uuckeyo will some day be ap pointed Acultmldo's successor lu tho Philippines. However, It was not Senator Klklns' fault that he was born In Ohio. He was educated In Missouri, ub seritiently removed to New Mexico, made o big pile of money there, thence moved to West Virginia nnd made a still blKRor pile, and he Is now 11 rich man. Ho was secretary of war under Harrison, nnd in the last campaign he taught even Hanna, U Is said, a thing or two n political nunagement that the Cleveland politician had never li earned of. His big. totind, led. Jolly face Is ever aglow with health, but he Is so little In the senate chamber that It Is a question whether he knows mote of Sanscrit than parliamentary law. 11 was Just a piece of luck that he was boin In Ohio, nnd It he teully wants the vice-presidential nomination It Is because he believes that Ohio luck will laud him in the White House In 1904. Of course, the presidential nomination In laol does not follow the vlee-pr"si-dentta! nomination in 1000, but it is a good thing a very good thing to know that men of such eminent chai acter and ability as Chalks Kmoiy Smith and Stephen Kenton Klklns are being discussed, and without their dis approval, In connection with the vice presidency. In this sign Republican ism will not only win this vear, but will perpetuate Its rule to the honor and credit of Atneiican manhood, American prestige, American progress. President McKlnley only a day or two ago was llfty-seven years old. He Is the Junior of any man In public life today who might possibly be named In connection with the presidential nomi nation in 1904. He has the moial sup port and tho sympathy of the Ameri can people, without regard to patty. The conditions that once prevailed against a thltd term incumbency In the presidential office does not exist to day, and may not lme the shadow of existence In 1901. The Amcikan people ought to thank Ood that a soldier, a prudent, cautious, patilotie, wise, godly mar. directs the affairs of the nation. The tiend of cut tent political agitation is ominous, and It may be Just as necessary to main tain the clean, honest, manly Ameri can methods of the McKlnley adminis tration in 1904 ns It is in 19C0. COXGUKSSIONAL MATTERS. It makes no matter what may be the pending meahuie before either the house or the senate, political debate Is Inevitable. The Indian npptoprla tlon bill, one would suppose, was sutil dently a matter of toutlne to pieelude any suggestion of a heated Klltli.al discussion, but nothing is impossible In the way of political achievement, whatever the matter under considera tion. A Southern Republican, and Southern Republicans ate very scatce in this congress, took advantage of the Indian appropilatlon bill to say some thing about Democratic election methods In the Southern states. It Is known of all men that the necro ote In the Eou'h is either suppressed en tltely or counted for the DomoMatlc ticket. Hut It was an unwholesome tiuth just at the time when such Ini quitous methods have precipitated a condition of war In the state of Ken tucky. The southern Republican in thi3 Instance barely escaped a personal chastisement. Ho was coarsely de- rounced and bitterly assailed. No heed was paid to his argument, but the ringer of scorn was leveled at him and through clinched teeth and with boisterous and belligerent gesticula tion he was told that he was no better than a "nigger." Not knowing the ways of members In debate and how little they regard the most offensive accusations, one would have looked for a personal en counter after adjournment. Hut long before that hour the two antagonists were seen in the most companlo.ible intercourse. Such scenes Interest the spectator, because the spectators geneially are strangers and naturally attach some significance to such disorder. The hous-o committees are diligently at work on the icgular approptlation bills. They ate neailng completion and it will not be many days before the campaign for 1900 will be opened In dead earnest. The shipping subsidy bill Is practically completed. It will go tluougli the house under a bill limiting debate, but howevei diastle the lestralnt, the oppoitunlty will be piesonted for tlery campaign ot.itoiy. However despicable he may be, Senator Pettigtew by Insolence and dogged pertinacity sometimes succeed-, In atttactlng the notice of the senate. 'It Is the exception, not the uile. f- ter days of nagging and whining he succeeded esteulay In ptovuKing Sen ator Hawlcy and Senator Sew til and they each In tuin denounced him us a "tt.iltoi" to his countt y and an enemy to hH own ilag. Of couise, it didn't phazo him. He was almost grateful that somebody had at last noticed him. The senate discussion alternates between the euirency bill and the Phil ippine question and tho older will be obsotved until the passage of the eur lency bill on the 3th of the present month Vet j soon theteafter the Quay case will be called up and a long dis cussion is not expected. How the ase stands in the matter of (onfldence in the result Is Indicated lu the avowed willingness of Mr. Quay for an Imme diate vote and the positive refusal of the opposition to agree to limit the de bate. It Is generally believed that Mr. Sibley knew what he was saying when he so completly answered duffy's guff, asserting with the greatest assurance that 'Quay would be seated and would have several votes to spare.

The game between the Klks nnd the West End c lub, a sluut time ngo, on the alleys of the fotmer. was one of the liveliest games ever pl.ived here, somu magnificent bowling being done, es pecially on the Elks side. The feat of Edmund Haiti In making two scores of over MO, was an utimual one, while Smith, of Wllkes-n.it in, contributed spice and excitement to the evening by making five stilkes In sucreislon. The Elks pioved that they certainly have one of the best teams In the coun try and It undoubtedly could hold Its own with even the tepiesentatlve rol leis 1'iom Xew Yoik and Chicago, tho home of bowling. The principal bowling event of the week will be tho opening of the serle3 of games to be played In this newly oiganlzed Xoitheastern Pennsylvania Bowling League.

THEATRICAL. "Pudd'nhead Wilson." Fiank Mayo's fine dramatization of Mark Twain's quaint story, "Pudd'n head Wilson," was seen at the Lyceum last night by a large audience. It is a play that does not lose its popularity, and was followed last night with quite as much inteiest as on its first pro duction In this city. Edwin Mayo, in the lole ereated by his distinguished father, improves with each succeeding appeal ance here. His woik last night was faithful and artis tic, and he had the assistance ot an excellent company. "Hunted Down" Tonight.

This organization presents comedians and specialties of the highest grade selected from the Keith and other New York vaudeville circuits. Their band is a big one of thirty soloists and Is pro nounced a wonder, tho equal of Sousa's, and the finest traveling band 'ever or ganized. Their singers embrace four teen ot the finest voices on the minstrel stage. Their eight comedians are all stats, and their first part Is something entirely new, a representation of the deck of the famous battleship Brook lyn, vv Ith the crew as rollicking Jackles. This attraction Is highly spoken of by the New York city, Boston and Phila delphia papers, and will be one of the strongest attractions ot the season. A Complete Production. A eaidliial point in the coming faie well production of Lewis Morrison's "Faust" Is Its magnificent scenic com pleteness. Never In the history of this famous play has it been presented heie In ns perfectly uniform a manner as now. From the time the curtain rises upon the dark sepulchtal cell of Dr. Faustus until It falls upon the beautiful tableaux of the Apotheosis It is a series of elaborate spectacular transformations, ranging from eccles iastical solemnity to diabolical wletd- ness. Special attention has been given to the electtlcal and mechanical features.

The play Is termed an Anglo-American farce, probably because the scene is laid In England, vwhereas sovetnl of tho chatacters ate of Ametlcan oilgln. In fact, the pilnclpal role Is very much American, being a noble led man who finds his way into England as the hireling of a patent medicine fakir, who takes him along as an ad vertisement for Ills remedies.
