political outlook was shadowed forth:
"Yes," said Mr.. Brown, "we shall
have . stiff and healthy fight nextyear
for the White House, but we are now
In better fighting trim than ever be-
fore since 1876, when we won and lost.
Our men In congress have been tenn
perate and sensible, not obstructing
tariff legislation, and not making
themselves fools enough to force an
extra session Of the house"
"Will not the passage of the tariff
bill curtail the democratic issues2'
"Not bit, In my judgment. The
relief 1t affords will be insignificant
compared with the relief 1t should af-
ford. The rebates are unequally dis.
tributed, so much go, indeed, that,
where you will find one man satisfied,
you will find twenty quite the reverse.
Tho democracy, by tho judicious
choice of speaker and careful ses-
sion OF the next congress, can force an
issue that will capture the d,sGruntled
elements of the radical camp, and
reach splendid fighting position"
How about candidates."

problematical. Up to this time I have

his veto of the legislative bill to re.
