Show Members of the American party express, surprise sur-prise that Mr. Frank J. Cannon was not included in the telegraphic invitation to Senator Kearns to accompnay the vice presidential party In its tour, as the present and the former senator are now of the same political faith, they cannot see why both were not treated with equal courtesy. & & & And yet some people, are sceptical enough to say that they believe the telegram to Senator Kearns which appeared In the Tribune yesterday was never sent by Senator Fairbanks. Of course Senator Fairbanks will b'e generous enough not to deny having sent it. t t & It would seem from the organ of the bolters that Senator Fairbanks spent most of Thursday in a wild search for Senator Kearns. There were speeches to make, throngs to greet, a thousand details to be wrestled with, but everything was subsidiary to tho absorbing question, "where is Kearns?" Eventually Mr. Fairbanks found him taking observations somewhere in the vicinity of the Lucln cut-off, probably looking for evidences of pre-hlstoric islands, and the meeting between the two statesmen is said to have been a thrilling spectacle. It does not appear clearly just why the Senator Sena-tor was so anxious to meet Brother Kearns, but it Is more than probable that his first question was a solicitous inquiry regarding the success of the American party movement. He had already heard of the heroic work Mr. Kearns' little Revenge Society So-ciety was doing for him, ana showed great emotion emo-tion when informed that no harm had yet come to it; and probably wouldn't until the second week in November. Mr. Fairbanks appears to have felt so relieved that he at once invited our Thomas to become a member of the vice presidential oratorical ora-torical party during its tour through the Islands of Wyoming and Nebraska. |
