This being the case it strikesa me that these gentlemen are, with ihebest intentions, wasting time that mightbe put to we better use than raisingexpectat.dns that cannot be realizedamong those who are not fully ac-quainted with the situation in theHouse. That there are enough repub-licans in the House who are atheart opposed to ReedTs policy an!methods to make a majority of theHouse when combized with the demo-crats and populists is probably true, burthey all want the best commitcce assign-monts they can get and are not goingfo vote against the man who makesthose assignments; they also wantfavors from the administration, andthey know that McKinley is in favorof ReedTs policy. Enough republicansto muke a majority of the House willsupport Reed, regardless ol what theythink.oBilly� Mason, of Llinois, this weekestablished his record in Senate asaokicker,� by making a speech in favorof his resolution tor a clotere rule, inwiich he ridieu'ed the methods of thataugust body and charged its memoerswith caring more for individual pwerthan for the public welfare. Referringto the failure to act on the MorganCuban resolution he said that it wasimpossible to tear down the volden godof the Senate rules in order to act, andclosed by saying: o1 would not scuttletha old ship, but I would like to puther'in dry dock long enough to have heria albottom scraped.�While no gold democrat has beenappointee to a prominent place by, McKinley, he is indirectly showing hiegratitude to the gold democrats byallowmg a number ct them to remain in: very desirable ctlices. Conrad N_* Jordan, Assistant Treasurer of theUnited States, at New York, is a con-spicious example, although SenatorPlatt~and the entire New York machinemade a hot fight for his place tor Eilison Roberts, a Platt republican. Jordanwas in Washington this week to renewhis $400,000 bond that expired atmidnight on the 22n1 inst. His renewalie of the bond makes it certain chat be haseen assured of his retention in officetor an indefinite period, as a reward forng a gold democrat.
