This report has not been confirmed by the Washington officials. At any rate.the last report from those at the front la to the effect that the army was but a few miles from.

It is of the gravest import in the centuries to come that the United States have a foothold In the orient.

But that is not the point I make. We have not taken a step in this transaction out of greed or lust or love of conquest. I have read every line of the entire transaction and there Is not a line In it all that speaks of selfishness; not a line recorded but what will bear the sight of God and the American people.

There lias been some disposition od the part of some of the fusiou editors In this district to dispute the mad rush from the demo-populist ranks throughout the state, and to state further that the interviews as published in republican papers were gotten up by republicans for political effect and that no names could be given of democrats and populists who had left the Fort Scott aggregation and Joined the McKlnley column. Below we have carefully compiled a list of these conversions, with their names attached, and offer it, in condensed form, for the careful perusal of the fusion spell-binders.
