WASHINGTON. u. C.. Oct. s.-Spe-
cial.-Colonel John :. Mosby. looking but
little older than when he was a con-
spicuous figure around WASHINGTON sew
eral years ago, arrived here to-day from
california. lie Is here TO attend 10 some
law business. and will probably remain
IN the city week or two.
Discussing the political OUTLOOK WIN
repre- sentative Of The Times, Colonel
| Mosby said:
II am OF the opinion that the Republi-
can romine" viii be either Mckinley or
Morton. II Morton were a few years
younger should say the chances were IN
his favor. but under existing conditions
think Mckinley Is forc most IN the race.
The convention viii not nominate i man
from Maine. lie IS badly located, ana
Blaincs failure would certainly be re-
memberc1 as showing cause why the eN-
pertinent should not be repeated again III
hurry. The West viii probably nave
Allison as its candidate, but ! THINK MS
! chances are only those OF dark horse.
THE next campaign will show some re-
markable changes IN the poltica stn t
ment OF the different sections, ana u VIC
Republicans had the courage 10 nominate
for the second placc upon the ticket an
eN-C0nfedcrate they would make s0ihe ilI-
roads into the South which would be sur
prising.
