Hawkins Promoted to Brigadier General in Volunteers
In a Washington interview, Colonel Hawkins is urged for promotion to brigadier general. President McKinley expresses pleasure to honor him if no obstacle arises. Hawkins reportedly will muster out as brigadier general of volunteers, with potential re enlistment under new volunteer calls. Insurgent opponents maneuver to prioritize Lieutenant Colonel Barnett for state treasurer, while Quay supporters back Hawkins or Barnett. The piece notes intra party strife and ongoing political scheming around Pennsylvania Republican leadership and conventions.
