WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Wasuinaron, D. ©., Nov 22, ’97. Czar Reed is in the field for the Bepublican nomination for President m 1900, and his candidacy may play an important part ia the legislation of the Hcuse at this session of Congress, A Reed machine is already erganized 7 = ’ and, in addition to all the original Reed men, it will aftract, itis expected, all of the larger number of Republicans Mr, momination last year and have become who worked tor disgruntled because of their failure to get what they wanted for themselves or their friends. Senator Feaker is understood to be looking after the Ohio end of the Reed machine, and the fight on the election of Boss Hanna te the Senate is being used as a means of weakening Mr. McKinley in his State, with a view to preveuting his being able to controi the Ohio delega- ticn to the next Republican National Convention. Tho rivalry between the Reed and McKinley. factions, now gecret, is likely to be open and spirited wa the near future. The Democrats do not have to even go to the troubie or fighting Secretary Gage’s gold bond scheme ; it is having the little lite it had thumped out of it by Republicans.. About one half of the prominent Republican Senators and Representatives who have been in Washington since the gold bond scheme was made public, have taken occasion to publicly ‘condemn it. As / MecKinley’s| Mr. McKinley has always been as # follower, not a leader, of the opinions of his party, it will be interesting to see what effect this Republican con- demnation of the issuing of gold bonds will have upon his treatment of the subject in his annual message to Cou- gress, Already there are rumors of his intention to straddle the question by merely ealling attention in his message to the recommendations of Secretary Gage without indcrsing them. The events of the past week were confirmatory of the suspicion that the new Spanish Ministry and Mr. Mc- Kinley’s administration are acting in concert in Cuban matters, for the purpese of adding to the hands off sentiment in Congress. Although this policy may succeed for a time in pre=- venting action by Congres’, the friends of Cuba are confident that the lack of success on the part of Spain in bringing the war in Cuba to a close, will be so apparent before this session of Congress adjourns, that Congress will be sure to take decisive action. Some amusement hes been created in Washington by a long printed statement given out by the selt constis tuted moneta y conference, as to its intentions eoncerning the financial scheme it isengaged in hatching out: These gentlemen fav their report will be withheld from the public until the annual message of the Presiden: has been sent to Congress. ‘The country would survive if 1t were permanent ly withheld. The statement acknow]- edges that they “recognize the fact that they have no holiday task before them in securing the adoption of the report by Congress,” which is an en- tirely ulnecessary acknowledgement ; everybody knew it all the time. But bere is about the most amusing se" tence in the statement: “Sometime. will be allowed to pass after the pub- lication of pefore “any attempt is made to force it toa vote 1 either House of Congress (“torce” 18 This time will be employed the report good). in a campaign of education, by means of thorouga discussion in thepress and in the popular magazines of the merits of the proposed financial reterms.”” rhe most of the “merit” side of the discussion will be paid matter, but the untramméled press will make no charge for showing up its demerits. In view of the popular idea of “educated public opiniow,” the plan of campaign is exposed when the statement says that the members cf the conference are confident “that the great body ot educa‘ed public opinion in the coun- try will come to their support.” So much of it as gets its educational matter from Wall strest..and London, _{ probably will. It seems to be the general belief in Washington that if Gov. Lowndes had any chance to get the seat now cccu- pied by Senator Gorman, he has lost it by choosing Senator Wellington to manage his campaign. The extent to whigh Wellington has this year been jumped on by the Marylend Republi- cans, indicates that his influence has pretty much all beew lost. Postmaster Genersl Gary isn’t doing any talking, but they say that he is making a still hunt for that Senatorship that may surprise somebody when that Republi- can caucus gets together. . The attempt of ExeSecretary of State Foster, who has made a_ failure of the seal negotiations, of which he has had charge to get himeelf put at the head of a commission to negotiate a similar commission eppointed by Canada for the settlement. of all dis- putes, means nothing more than that Mr. Foster is anxious to keep on drawing a big salary fo: very light work, eee Yellow Fever Germs breed in the bowels.

There will notdoubt be avery large attendance of rep- resentative men from different States and sections, on that occasion and the result of the deliberations of 80 many men of prominence 10 that line of busi- ness can be built beneficial to the cotton planters of the South.” The Next Campaign. The next State Democratic convention will endorse in its entirety the Chicago platform of 1896. It will adopta platform on State issues that will satisfy every white man in North Carolina who has voted the Democratic ticket in any election during the past five years, and who honestly wishes a return to decent gov- ernment. It will ratify the now- mations for Superior Court judges made by the conyenticns of the several districts in which terms of the judges expire, and these will be the only candidates nominated and voted for in the State at large. There will be nothing about “fusion” in the platform. It will include a strong aad direct appeal to the white manhood of North Carolina, and a cordial inyitation to those who have straved from the fold to come back to tha grand old Democratic party and join hands with it in a supreme effort to rescue our State from misrule and corruption. This is the outlook as yiewed by the Star.—Wilming- ton Star. ee ae aed ! Yellow Jack Preventative.
