Distinguished Politicians Present De clare Their Party Allegiance. Canton, Ohio, March 29. The repub lican tariff banquet here tonight was a political success, four hundred guests being present from various cities In Ohio. Governor McKlnley occupied the post of honor at the first table. Letters of regret were read from ex-President Harrison, Senator Sherman and others. With the exception of that of Senator Sherman, letters of regret contained no significant utterances. Senator Sherman took occasion to discuss the financial question. He said: . . "What was needed was an honest currency and his experience had shown him ''that the notes of the National banks secured by an equal or greater amount of United States bonds, formed by far the best currency that had yet been devised. In conclusion, he said, the real solution of the silver problem Is to put into our silver dollar enough silver at market value to be equal to the gold dollar' and maintain all forms of money whether coin or note of equal and Interchangeable value." Governor McKlnley responded to the toast "The Republican Presidents." Governor McKlnley in the course of his address reviewed the life and ser vices of various republican presidents. Speaking of Harrison, he said hlB ad ministration was pure, vigorous and patriotic and his own, contemporaries will give him his true place in history "The country," said McKlnley, "needs the republican party for its principles, and policies underlie every American Interest and are allied with Its true growth and advance since 1859. Until now the democratic party have been without power to do anything with public measures without the sanction of the republican party Now they have full possession. There in no longer any excuse for pretense; no longer any room for hypocrisy; if they believe in their own professions of the last thirty years, they can now make them effect ive. There Is no cause for discourage ment on our part, we have but to move on with our old-time vigor, yielding nothing of principle." PUGH FAVORS MANTLE. Washington, March 29. In the sen ate today Pugh spoke In favor of the admission of Mantle as senator from Montana. The matter went over till tomorrow, Pugh argued from the debates In the constitutional convention that the ex istence of a vacancy from any cause "Was a crucial teat of the power of the governor to fill a vacancy." "Vacancy happened." he arguea, ir It existed. In Illustration of the possi ble evils that might result from pro hibitlnsr governors from filling vacan cies in the senate, Pugh said that the force bill would now be law If one sen ator onDosed to it had been kept out Of his seat by the operation of such a rule. Three or more political parties, he said, existed by regular organization lif several states. These parties favored specific principles and policies that were fundamental and Irreconcilable. Was It ririit In such a case for the senate to establish tyrrannical rules that these parties should surrender their opinions and convictions and disregard their pledges and fidelity to their constitu ents and come to some agreement for the election of a senator. , A lengthy discussion followed In which numerous contentions were made and argued, many of the senators In dicating their concurrence with the Views of the minority, adverse to the admission of the senators. The matter then went over until tomorrow, Mitch til having the floor to defend the mi nority report. ' AN EXTRA SESSION. Washington, March; 29.
