minimizing obsolete principles. His ad-

Cuba would be quite sufficient to raise pop

kept hold upon the imagination of the
American people. This admission was. in

Spanish colony, has not succeeded

says: "Bey Ond doubt NJ. Buffet will retire

will resign before the meeting Of the new
Chamber. He will remain during the elec-
