WAsHISoToN, July I 1912.
Dear Strive have Just closed the second days

two days longer. IL is among the most exciting
and interesting that have ever witnessed on this
floor. You will see its substance in the inteli.

ground left for the President to stand on. The

high and dangerous power OF throwing himself in
The way OF The peoples will, as expressed by their
immediate Representatives, have boen utterly con
sumed in the crucible of this debate.
But the Locos are in ccsacies. They have the
President. But the acquisition will be dead
weight upon them. II is impossible that any
party should succeed with him for its Lea

they have got the President, as because he is
pletely sew cred from the Wing party, and hope To
profit by the weakness which they suppose will
be thus produced. 10 this suppositIon, however,
they will find themselves greatly mistaken. The

such, doubt not, will be the effect throughout the
Country. hope tho band of Wings, who triumph

influence, and sustain the high reputation they So
nobiy won, on that occasion.
There will probably, be much apprehension felt
among the people, that the present extraordinary

appre cnsions may be dismissed Congress will
not adjourn without protective tariff. The wings
in Congress are surrounded with difficulties; but
they will only cement thei union strength

and lead Them to wise and beneficial results. Such.

will determine whether am mistaken. If could
speak in the ears of my friends in Vermont
