Senator John B. Allen arrived IN the city late
last night and is at the Rainier He Is making
one o: his occasional visits 10 the Sound country
and appears in good health. though suffering
from cold In an interview with Posr-iS-
zELLIsxScEg reporter, he said:
II think the farmers of Eastern Washington
are growing more prosperous every year, ana
they have every prospect of an abundant crop

crops With the promise of lower freight rates

tent The agricultural section OF Eastern wash

wheat crop but the fruit sections are also show
ing very good yield.
"The nomination of Mckinley for governor
of Ohio shows that the Republicans OF that
state approve his tariff bill and the result Will
show that the Democratic party in the state has
shrunk. He viii be elected with enthusiasm
and by large majority. Time is proving the
wisdom of his measure and is giving the answer
to its critics
The presidents tour has strengthened him
with the people, for they have seen that he Is
man OF ability and he has grown in their esti-
nation With the exception of Blaine, he is the
strongest candidate for the presidency, and
suppose it may be taken that he is a candidate
for reelection He has given q strong,
able administration and l believe could
be nominated in preference to any man
but Blaine. II Blaine should be candidate, he
could be sure OF being nominated against all
opposition, for he commands a more enthusi-
aStic following than any other man in the party.
81 see no reason TO doubt the continuance of
Republican success in this state. The people
both in the agricultural districts of the East and
in the industrial centers of the Sound are salts
fed with the administration.
