GAS to other candidates?"
"Events of the next twelve months
will develop them. You know we be-
gin and finish the making of a candi-
late for President with m~avellous
CELEBRITY in this country. The occasion
brings the man. Mr.. Cleveland was
himself the most striking instance of
that. AS l was standing on the east
portico of the Capitol listening to his
inaugural address in 1885 a friend
of his and mine pointed to the new
and exclaimed: What an
event the election of this
man by the whole people to be the
successor of President Garfield, who
died without ever having heard the
name of his successor, without, In
fact, knowing that there was such a
man as Grover Cleveland living in
Buffalo,
"Our Presidential candidates that
win," added Mr.. Whitney, casually
loom quickly on the horizon, not too
long before they are called for by the
people,"
NO GOOD ISIS UES FOR REPUBLICANS.
"What of Republican candidates?"
ssThere are a number of fairly good
men, but no good issues for them to
fight for. The party missed its oppor-
tunity five years ago. Surely the Re-
publicans will not appeal to the coun-
try for a restoration of the rejected
tariff, and in no other event is Nc
Kinley a logical candidate. Mr.. Reeds
supreme test will be his leadership OF
the majority in the House mex winter
and it ia too early to speculate about
his position"
"Western Republicans speak very
highly of Allison, of Iowa."
"Senator Allison," said Mr.. Whit
ney cordially, "is an ADLER man than
many people in the East know. No
one could be Chairman of the Finance
Committee in the Senate SO many
years as he was without fine ability
and rare sagacity, and Senator Allison
has always kept out of hot water.
LACK GROUND FOR PUBLIC CoNFI-
DENCE. -
"What the Republicans really lack
is a reasonable ground on which they
can ask next year for public support
and confidence. What has the party
done? It's most important acts of
Legislation in the past few years, sup
port of which in Congress has been a
test of party fealty, has had to be un-
done, and the country is only now re-
covering from the consequences of
the party's folly"
"What of silver?"
sfThe silver extremists, the 16 to
unlimited coinage men, are losing fol-
lowers every day. Improving con-
ditions will diminish the intensity Of
feeling on this subject. The rest
must be left to time and an interna'
tional agreement. In the mean time
no one can question the soundness o.
our currency.
WILL BE JUDGED ON IT'S RECORD.
"The situation, as l see it to-day
concluded Mr.. Whitney, els that thu
people have fully vented their resent
ment upon the Democratic party fol
the ills for which the party was no
responsible, and that they must sooI
nudge it by its own record in contras
with its predecessors, which even Re
J publicans admit have been disastrous
We shall approach the season of TIT
next national convention with per
haps a rising tendency of prices ant
wages, in the enjoyment OF some o
the blessings of prosperity, and with
the promise of more; with the assur
ance of industrial peace if the Demo
cratic party ratains its power; witt
safe finances and a definite politica
policy, and, above all, with an over
mastering indisposition on the part o
the people either to renew the I'LL
from which they have but recently es
capped or to try new experiments o
| the same sort. The Cleveland admin
: istration will leave the party inesti
mably stronger at the end of his sec
ond term than it was at the end of hi
first. I wish to make that perfect
l clear"

Mr.. Whitney is certainly not a cal
