paid close attention." he said "to all the
political conditions. I was surprised at the
bitter feeling which seems to exist among
the manufacturing interests against the
people of the United States. And it's the
tariff that has caused it. Englishmen inter
| ested in manufacturing deeply resent the
recent changes in our American tariff law,
upon the ground that they attack directly
the dearest interests of the British trade.
They don't relish having Americans using
American products to the detriment of Great
Britain. Throughout England there was a
general feeling of relief and pleasure at the
failure of Mr.. Blaine's nomination, but this
JOY was turned to deepest sorrow by the
adoption on the part of the Democrats of a
free trade plank, because the English would
much prefer that the Democrats in this
country should appeal to the people on q

The Congressional Campaign Committee
at Washington are complaining of the back
wardness of the contest in their particular
lines. Up to the present time the Demo-
Gratis have made 172 Congressional nomina-
tfons, the Republicans Isl and the Peoples
party So. This is considerably less than one
half of the full number OF nominees al
though the election is only two months off,
The Eastern States are particularly tardy.
Massachusetts has made only one nomina-
tion out Of 26 in the two leading parties. In
the 81 districts of New York State, with So
nominations between the two parties, only
four nominations have been made. The
Western States are much further ahead.
Illinois has only three or four nominations
to make in order to complete her full list.
Indiana is also full, Iowa has completed her
nominations, except the Republicans in the
Eleventh district and the Democrats in the
Fifth. Mfchigan's quota is full, with the
exception of one Republican and two DEM
ocrats. Kansas has only two nominations
to make to complete her Congressional list.
Some OF the Southern States are very far be-
hind. Louisiana has not yet made q single
Congressional nomination. Kentucky and
and North Carolina have full Democratic
states, but neither State has nominated any
Republican candidate, as their districts are
abandoned to the Democrats. The Virginia
they have made only one nomination in
their ten districts, although the Democrats
have completed the list
THE assignment of David Martin, the
Keystone member of the National Commit
tee, in this campaign is to watch the Penn
sylvania Democrats who go to national
Democratic headquarters in New York and
report their movements and methods. Per-
haps Carter thinks Harrity will try some of
the schemes which proved SO efecrual
against Guffey and Wallace.
INDIANA's campaign is unquestionably
she most lively Of the Northern States up to
late. Hundreds of meetings have already
been held by both parties and thousands |
more are announced. Adlaf Stevenson has |
been devottng the past week to the gas and |
belt Of the State. He did not |
ell the crowds who came to hear him in |
hat section that the tariff was unconstitu- |
onal and a fraud, but explained the Demo- |
,ratic position thus: "OuH present tariff |
avs need careful revision. The glaring in
,onsistencies should be corrected. 1t is to
