At Cabinet meeting. held a
few days ago, the question of
members of the Cabinet going on
The stump, which certain news
papers have been discussing of
late, was taken up, and all pres
ent, including the President, See
reFary of State Foster, Postmaster
General Wannamaker and Sec
retary Noble agreed, that, while it
vas ; matser that should pr perly
be decided by each individual
member OF The Cabinet according
to his own personal yiaw, there
was nothing improper i'll IL mem
ber of the Cabinet going before
the people as often as lie CHOOSES,
to discuss political affairs. That
is on al fours with common sense.
There is s special fitness in a.
member OF the Cabinet who has
helped to formulate and carry out
the policy OF eR admins tra tLol
going on the slump to tell the peo~
pie to whom the administration is
directly responsible, Just what has
been done. With the possible ex-
ception Of Attorney General Mil
Ter, every member Of the Cabinea
will make some speeches this
month,
The politicians on ali SIDES
have shout settled down to the
opinion that, as in 81 and SO, the
Presidential fight is to be settled |
IN New York. The Peoples Par
ty fizzle in the South makes it
pretty certain ghat with the posi-
bic exceptions of Tennessee and |
West Virginia, ali of the electoral
votes Of that section will go to
Cleveland, and the same thing is
believed to have killed any
chances that the Peoples Party
might have had to capture cleo
toral votes In the Northwest. 1t
is no longer considered one OF the
possibilities that the. election of
President viii be thrown iuto the
House. Everybody here reoog-
nizes that it is now o straight fight
between the Republican and Dem
ocratio parties aDd the well-known
policies which they respectively
That this sweeping
of of side issues will be beneficial
to the Republicans cannot for a
moment be doubted by sny IN
prejudiced studen: Of the political
situation. Giving Cleveland the
entire South ard Gye electoral
votes il Michigan, he will still be
IS votes short Of q majority Of the
electoral college. So he viii no1
only have to carry New York, but
le will have to get twenty-odd
electoral votes besides, IN order to
win. No wonder Democrats are
asking Of each other in doIeful !
ones, "Where can he get them?" 9
Nowhere, brethren, nowhere. /
This country is Republican on ,
;traight issues every time, as the i
'ote Of the next electoral college :
