1111 HI! Something of a Turn in Tide in the Race for Speaker, ship Honors HENDERSON IN THE LEAD Westesn and Northwestern States Are Said to be Very Nearly Solid for the low Congressman. Discussion Regarding the Keason for Se lecting May 30 as National Memorial or Decoration Day—ldea Originated Among ■Maryland Women Oilier News From tlio National Capital. Washington, June o.—Something of a turn in the Speakership tide lias been experienced here within the past day or two, and among those best posted in political affairs it is conceded that the strong support for Col. Henderson, of lowa, which is coming to the sur face every day, gives liiui an encour aging prospect to capture the coveted honor. The western and nothwestern States will go.it appears at present, very nearly solid for the lowa man. and the support that, has been pledged to him by eastern admirers puis him somewhat in the lead of other aspir ants. The withdrawal of Hopkins from the race has increased Hender son's prospects to a considerable ox tent. A good many Congressmen in the Middle States have also pledged themselves to support the Western man. New York. June 0.--Sixteen members of the Sixty-fifth Congress, eompris tlie Republican delegation from this Stale, have swung into line for David il. Henderson, of lowa, for Hie Speak ersldp. The caucus of the New York men will be held iu porlor D It of the Pitli Avenue Hotel, when a formal en dorsement of the lowan probably will be recorded. The President has begun his round of diploma distributing, making his first appearance in this capacity at the commencement of the law school of the Howard University, the large colored institution of Washington. The exercises were very interesting. Prom now on the President will be iu demand for commencements. There has been a great deal of dis cussiou this year as to why May "0 was selected as Decoration Day. Some have said that it was on Gen. Grant's suggestion that a National Memorial Day was selected. I'lie idea originat ed among the women of Maryland, who put flowers upon the graves of both Pliion and Confederate soldiers once a year during the War of the Rebellion. By the time the war was over, the custom had spread to other States, and it had almost become gen eral among the Northern people, but it was not until 1SI>!1 that Gen. John A. l.ogau. as Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of ilie Republic, ap pointed May :!(» for that purpose. In iiis order he called the day Memorial Day. It is said that he selected May :;n because it corresponds with the date of the last honorable discharge given a soldier in the Pnion Army in the war between the States. Within the last few years he name has grad ually been obliged from Memorial Day to Decoration Day. Gold is coming into the United States Treasury at such a rapid rate that the clerks tind it difficult to count it ami put it away In bags. In fact, some one lias remarked iliat Uncle Sam now has more gold than he can count, and that for the first time in his history there is more gold in the Pnited States than any other country in the world. It is said that with what this Government now holds and what is in circulation the total comes very near one thousand million of dol lars On the Ist day of May Uncle Sain presented as a consolation purse to Spain S2o.ikxi.oi hi, and since that time the gold has been pouring in in such a stream that the hole made is li.arly filled and the Treasury state ment for last month shows that there is s2iil.'_ , Sl..",(li,(iV of gold coin and bullion in the Treasury. Now that Iho President's civil ser vice order has been promulgated for several days, those affected are begin ning to understand that the President was letting down Ihe bars and putting in oltioe hordes of clerks that are now carried on the temporary rolls have found that they read the order wrong ly. and that the bars are not to be let down so very fast. The special sec tion to which the civil service reform ers took so much exception, was the one allowing temporary clerks to be transferred to the regular rolls by the appointing power. This was thought to affect a large number of clerks ap pointed iu the War Department during war times. Since the order was is sued. Secretary Alger, at the War De partment. and Assistant Secretary Meiklojohn have been beselfljed by the temporary clerks with requests to be placed on the regular rolls. To their ama/.eiiient. all these clerks have been told that it was not the intention of the President, nor Iho moaning of the change iu the rules, to transfer them to permanent places. This would be creating new clerkships, a tiling which the President never intended, nor would the law allow. hi ){»('«• to Stay. Washington. June 112». —Representative Charles P.

STONE SPEAKS FOR M'KINLEY. The Governor Says Pennsylvania Demands the President's Renomination. REPUBLIGHN PARTY IK GOOD SHAPE. Democrats Preparing for " l.lvet.v Kite lit at Their State Convention Next Week, and »Bl|* Crowd Is Kx peeted at HarrUnurif. (Spedat Correspondence.) Harrisburg. June t>. —Governor Stone lias returned from his fishing trip to West Virginia very much benefited by this brief period of recreation after his arduous labors incident to the llosing out of the work that devolved upon him In scrutinizing the bills lef". upon his desk by the legislature and meeting the many serious problems wltli which lie was tints confronted. The governor has come out in a strong declaration in favor of the re election of President Mclvinley, main tainlng that there can be no doubting the fact that he Is the choice of the Republicans of Pennsylvania. "President McKiniev," salil Governor Stone, enthusiastically, "is the natu ral and logical choice of the people of this state. He has made an ex cellent president, a satistactorv presi dent. lie has never acted from any desire but the welfare of his country. He has never done anything with a view to his own aggrandizement. He has worked for the honor of the great Republican party and the benefit of the people. "He has been a wise president, ex hibiting a clear foresight and a sure wisdom in all his dealings. This state, and all the states, have prospered, for Mr. McKlnley has done well from a business standpoint as he has from a patriotic point of view." M'KINLEY'S FOREIGN POLICY, Concerning the foreign policy of the president Governor Stone said: "Throughout his administration President McKinley has exhibited re markable wisdom. Judgment and for bearance In his relations with foreign countries. Of the Spaulull war there need be but little said now. The peo ple are satisfied that it wts a righteous war and that Mr. McKluley acted rightly in regard to Spain in the mat ter. Of the present war In the Phil ippines the same nnißt be said. There may be a few who would anil do criti cize it adversely, as there were and are those who criticized the Spanish war adversely, but it is recognized and un derstood that the rebellion must be put down before anything can be done. But not only in these two affairs has Mr. McKinley given proof of his wis dom. The able manner in which ho lias conducted the negotiations with Great Britain in our little dispute about the boundary between this country and Canada stamp him as a wise and de termined man. He has earned for him self and his country the admiration and respect of Europe. "Mr. McKinley," remarked the gov ernor, "has won the confidence not only of his party, but of the whole country. He has been one of the best presidents, if not the best, the country has ever had, and the people will insist upon his renomination and re-election." Asked what he thought of the pres ent condition of the Republican party, the governor replied: "The Republican party was never stronger or healthier than it is today. In every state in the Union it has become more solid, for it is satisfied with the past and the outlook for the future. In this state the party is stronger than ever. There havebeendlf ferences and unpleasantnesses, but the decision of the counties has been given from all parts of the state, and the rule of the majority must be sustained. In every other respect the Republican party in Pennsylvania was never in better shape to give Mr. McKinley an unprecedented majority." BUSINESS MEN PLEASED. "Republicans of Pennsylvania are pleased to see the leaders of the party organization in this state declare so promptly and enthusiastically iu favor of the renomination of President Mc- Kinley," remarked Charles H. Mulll.i, the extensive paper manufacturer of Cumlierland county, in commenting on the interviews with Senator Penrose. Governor Stone and State Chalrmau Elkln, as voicing the sentiments of the men at the head of the Republican or ganization on tills question. "This is what the business men of the country desire." continued Mr. Mullln. "With President McKinley the nominee the Republican party can give assurance to the business interests that there shall be a continuance of the conservative and safe administration of public affairs, and the usual disturb ance of the commercial world incident to a presidential campaign will be avoided." "What is new politically in your own particular locality?" Mr. Mullin was asked. "We have just had our delegate elec tion iu Cumberland." replied the well known manufacturer, smilingly, "and you could have drawn your own con clusions as to the result if you read our resolutions, which not only com mended the administration of Presi dent McKinley, but also that of Gov ernor Stone, and Indorsed the action of the governor In appointing Colonel Quay to the United States senatorship. The insurgents outside of our county assisted In the fight against the stal wart delegates, as they did in Adams county, but In neither case did tliey get much satisfaction. As 1 view the situation I do not think the Insurgents will have over 20 delegates In the state convention outside of the following of Fllnn in Pittsburg and Martin In Phi'- adelphla." DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION Interest In the Democratic state con vention. which will be held here a week from tomorrow, commauds the attention of politicians of both parties. it is unusual tor the minority pars/ to lead off in the matter of making state nominations. For years it has been the policy of Democratic leaders to hold off in order, as they said, "to prollt by the mistakes of the enemy. 1 ' Under the rules of the Republican party their state convention cannot be held this year earlier than the last week in August, although delegates to the convention are now being elected throughout the state. Seldom do the Democrats find themselves in the posi tion that a nomination for a state of fice by this convention is virtually equivalent to an election, as is the case this year. They are now involved In one of the prettiest struggles for d. Judicial office ever witnessed in Penn sylvania. The Democrats have the naming of a supreme court Justice, to be elected in November. If they give Justice Smith, of the superior court, this nomination they will also have an j opportunity to nominate and elect r. justice of the superior court to sue- j ceed Smith. The Philadelphia Democrats propose to make h strong fight against the nomination of either Representative Crearv. of Columbia, or Dixon, of Elk, J for state treasurer. They declare that ' these men subordinated the Demo cratic party in the legislature to the Fllnn-Martln Insurgent machiife. and they are especially bitter against them for helping David Martin knock out the new court bill, by which the Democrats in Philadelphia would have gotten a new Judge. HENDERSON FOR SPEAKER. Pennsylvania Republicans are dei lighted to know that General David Bremner Henderson, of lowa, will sue- ; ceed Thomas Brackett Reed as speaker ; of the house of representatives. Gen- i eral Henderson is a close persona! ! friend of Colonel Quay, Senator Pen rose and General Bingham. He has rooms at the same hotel with Senator Penrose. Should General Bingham see fit to remain in the field as a candidate the Pennsylvania delegation will prob ably give him a complimentary vote and afterwards the bulk of them will goto Henderson. If General Bingham withdraws before the caucus of the Keystone delegation during state con vention week it is likely that the cau cus will decide to support Henderson. Whenever Pennsylvania has wanted anything in congress Henderson has stood shoulder to shoulder with the Keystone representatives in fighting for it. During the last congress, when the Pennsylvanlans were struggling against odds to secure as appropriation of $»50,00U for the International ex position at Philadelphia. General Hen derson jumped In with a will and urged his colleagues from the west to vote for the appropriation. When the time came for a vote Henderson sprang to ills feet, or rather foot, for he lost a leg in the. civil war, and waving his cane aloft, shouted: "All up, boys." His enthusiasm infected the other Re publican members and the result was that by a rising vote the appropria tion was passed. The election of General Henderson to the speakership will give Pennsylva nia a chance to retain the office of clerk of the house, and Major Alex ander McDowell, of Mercer count;', will doubtless be re-elected to that po sition.
