upon the United States during the

recent elections be held was a prac-
tical victory for the liberal party and
their policy of unrestricted reciproc-

yratulate themselves for the manner
in which the country had repudia-
ted the liberal party and their policy

due to the Mckinley bill and not to
any charges that could be directly
brought against the government.
