therefore,-: 1U0,000 voters went to
. jorleB as the most forcible means
of expressing their opposition to
McKinley, and 385,000 others se
lected McLean as the best means
of showing distrust of the admin
istration's candidate and policies.
When to this is added the over
whelming repudiation of -Hanna,
identified with McKinley in every
way possible, inHanna's own coun
ty, it seems very clear that the en
dorsement of the administration
was of a modified, not to say lame
and deficient character.

General' Henderson, of Iowa,
will be speaker of the next
house, will reach Washington this

begin. Nine-tenths of the Repub

served in the last congress are dis
satisfied with their committee as

gard as more important places and
better suited to their importance

not inderrate them. The making

But the fact remains that the
practice of ordering, federal offi
cials to take part in state cam
paigns has been carried further
under the present administration
than at any time in the past. Tak
ing the results in the four states
where these interlopers worked in
the recent campaign, Ohio, Mary
land, Kentucky and Nebraska,' one
can judge for himself as to the
value of their services. Ohio bare
ly held its normal Republican mar
jority. Nebraska and Maryland
made enormous Democratic gains,
and. Kentucky, yet in doubt, de
cided much in its own way, and
following the judgment of its own
citizens. This does not prove that
federal official oratory is very po
tent in state eleotions.
