Henry H. Fatlass Gives . Very sensible
Review Of the Field.
In answer to inquiries Henry b. Fall
lass yesterday said: Everybody knows
that a great Republican victory next
year is foregone conclusion. The
Mckinley bill has proved eminently
satisfactory TO all, III spite of the DEM
ocratic prophecies that it would rum
the country. The farmers ill over are
feeling much better; there Is ten
dency upward III the prices OF the
farms themselves as well as III farm
products. Even down in New England
where the depression in value OF farm
ing lands has been much greater than
anything we have known here, the
outlook is Frightening for better prices,
and the farmers are feeling more
cheerful. Unless the Farmers Alliance
cuts into the Republican ranks far
more than think they will, the Re.
publicans ought to feel very sure of
success this year, and of great vic-
tories IN '92. But it is hard to tell what
the effect of the Alliance will be yet.
It's my belief that the Convention
ought to put up the man who can poll
|
ting up man who is popular the little
dIsaffectlon existing among the farm
ers because of the Alliance, can more
than be counteracted. For my own
part, have no choice among The can.
dldates whose names are before the
public; l will be glad to do what l can
for the nominee OF the convention.
And the question to be considered by
the convention is "Who is the strongest
man among the laboring men of this
city" If the nomination goes outside
of Kent, Senator Ferry Is u strong, good
man. and his experience in Washing
ton, together with his natural abilities,
would make him an excellent man for
the place. AS for the Fifth district, II
is in reality very strong Republican, en-.
titled to 5000 Republican majority.
How do account then for last years
vote? 1t was q landslde-one of the
unaccountables in politics.
1t was as mpch of q surprise to the
Democrats, as it was to the Republi-
cans. Ii the Democrats had had any
ide1 that they were going TO win, they
would have put up an ADLER class oi
men in general, men who would have
made better officers for Us. Whether
the Fifth will give us 5000 majority
this time depends on the candidate and
the management. AS is often said, there
isn't the inducement in the north for a
man to go to Congress that there is in
| the south, because of the fact that a man
can't have the nomination but two OIL
three times at most. The Southcrners
often make very strong men out OF
weak ones by keeping them at Washing.
