THE AUCTION OPENED (LOOKS LIKE A BULL MARKET FOR DELEGATES AT ST. LOUIS. _ OrwabMto Mare Fndnt With the Southern Republican Thu Prow lee of Offlee. j : Preliminary Skirmish of Beed and MeRialey la I .on Irfans. \ The national convention of the Republicans having been knocked ddwn to the highest bidder, the next thing to be pet on the anctiou block is the Republican: delegate from the south. He is rising to an antebellum value. It takes quite as much to buy him as when he j arms a fieldband or a house servant He knows his value as well as his old master knew it He has found out that in making presidents he is a potent factor. When the contest is close, the votes from the south are sufficient to determine the choice. It was no in 1880, and John Sherman haa not yet forgiven Alger for baying away his support It was so in 1884, when, as a Minnesota delegate said, explaining how the nomination was made, “We went out oooniug Saturday night and bagged the game. ” So notoriously was this the case in I69S and so open a scandal had it became that there rose a great cry for a change in the method of representation. making it depend on the voting power of the party in a state instead of the number of its senators and congressmen. Bo general was the demand that it appeared then as it the change would be made without doubt But the pommittee has met, and the old plan remains intact. Already the preliminaries of the | auction have been opened on a scale that promisee an unusually lively market for i these delegates, with prioes ruling higher than ever. The campaign opened in Louisiana with an attempt to gain control of the state committee. War moth l and Kellogg—what an unsavory odor df carpetbagism and fraud and corruption rises as the dead past is stirred with these names!—led opposing interests, Kellogg for Reed and Warmoth for McKinley. Kellogg thought he had all of the | state committee of SI except two, who preferred Allison. Warmoth, under the circumstances, felt that the committee was too smalL By some hook or crook, or both, be procured its enlargement by the addition of SO members. The fun grew fast and furious in the effort to get each his share or more of these 30. From somewhere the money came to Warmoth to invest. Did Brother Hanna come to the rescue of his pet? Some one did, for Warmoth is not the man to spend his own money far otl£ exs, and that he spent it his checks amply show. He invested it in such negroes and whites as were for sale. He bought freely. He cornered the market. He carried the day. He controls the committee and the ooming convention, and by the graoe of boodle Mr. McKinley will hate a solid delegation from that state. But so fast do then anxious gentlemen tread on each other's heels in this

scramble for delegates first and the nomination after, and so volatile is the southern Republican delegate and committeeman, that even while Warmoth was rejoicing over his victory, and the comment on the whole matter was being written, the Reed men, led by thtp wily Kellogg, find, in some mysterious way and place, a supply of money and, before the laughter and hilarity of Warmoth’s jollification has ceased echoing through the labyrinths of lower town, the tide of victory had been turned back and enough of these newcommittfemen had been bought again to give Mr.; Reed the control of the committee. l3o, today, but just far today, unless the money gives out, Mr. Reed and not Mr. McKinley has the solid Louisiana delegation in his fist That is, if there is no "ooofiing” again in St Louis. The Republican delegates from the south are not going to make a trip in summer to St Louis either for health or for love of country. Flannagan of Texas was not a delegate for anything if not for the offices, and he could not conceive what any one was delegate for if not for that But experience has shown that offices are "mighty onsartin,” and a roll of greenbacks in the hand is worth mare than a promise of office with a doubt as to its delivery. So, though McKinley and the sarcastic czar have each won a round in this opening skirmish, nobody knows what may happen next June, when the auction block is set up in St Louis and the candidates are invited to "bid up lively now, gentlemen.”—St Paul Globe. __ , lastly Daladad. It is related in a calamity organ, says the Philadelphia Record, with much circumstance, that a general business boom has set in in consequence of the passage of the Ding ley-McKinley tariff bill in the house. If it be true that there are people who believe in the efficacy of such a measure, and of the probability of its becoming a law, their existence furnishes a touching proof of the power of mingled imposture and credulity. Considering the fervor of the Republicans in denouncing the attitude of the Democratic administration toward the pensioners, it is interesting to observe that the pension committee of the house has reduced the appropriation for the next fiscal year #2,000,000 below the commissioner’s estimates, which were #140,000,000. —Boston Herald. Law of Coaf—Mai, Chairman Ding ley at the house ways and means committee sees nothing in the situation to necessitate a continuance of the session beyond the 1st of June.
