The Republican party Is Just now ce,s-
e-acng, bat il has long dreary winter
before . with no prospect OF accomplish
Ing anything with q Democratic president"
That IS how jefferson Chandler. the noted

there This is the nT<t time Mr.. Chandler
has been on the Sound since 1890. when hs
angered thu state Democracy by giving
the Fost-Intelllgencer an interview oppos-
ing Cleveland ana supporting Hili. only
the day before he was 10 speak at . Cleve%
land convention. But his talk las, night
showed that he has materially changed hia
views since then.
1T Is very doubtful II The Republicans
can organize tho senate" continued Mr..
Chandler. ITO Go u they must secure thu
help OF the Populists. but they are gentle
men OF many Establishments and very ae-
ecmplished politicians, and may succeed.
Thu Republicans viii not pass COM
promise revenue bill 20 help the Democrats
out. and Cleveland viii not change his pol
icy 20 sign n Republican measure. Ths
Republicans, too. are not likely TO settle
upon line Of policy. and not upon tho
Mckinley bin. as that would be an indorse-
w
they do nos love protection the less they
love Offices the more We have 70 conceda

tisl year is ons OF strategy. and the Repuh-
Icans are not going 70 put a reef over
Cleveland's house"

II would not say I was not in favor OF
Cleveland for a third term. He represents
the warlike element, and the others ara

IF not Cleveland, VIII David II. Hi
be the nominee, in your opinion7''
If not Cleveland. a Western man will
be named, and 1 think Morrison. OF ILL.,
nols, viii be the man. He IS az fine maj
as the fig floats over; thoroughly upright
and honorable: essentially Democratic hv
nature and education. and a man OF thu
people. lie has the most reserve force for
a campaign, and his strength would In
crease from the day he was nominated
The Democrats are now IN their darkest
hour. but with six months of prosperity

next June. and If they do Cleveland will
get the credit and not the Republican
