Washington. Sept. Ex-senator John
M. Palmer Of Illinois. the candidate of
the national democratic party for pres
ident. arrived in the city this morning
from Philadelphia. The senator Is on
his way 10 his home In Illinois and
stopped In this city 10 pay visit to
his married daughter, and for the pur-
pose of looking after some matters re-
quiring his attention.
Concerning his brief eastern stay
and the general outlook. the senator
tonight spoke substantially as fol-
lows: II was very much pleased and
gratified at my reception and at the
audiences which greeted me In the va
rious cities, and especially at the pre-
dominance of young men In the organ
ization OF the party. There Is an evil
dence Of organization and earnestness
OF purpose that shows great fighting
strength. The national party Is the
party of the future. The democratic
party Is passing from the hands Of the
older leaders like Hill and Morrison
and the young men are coming to the
front. The democratic party organlza-
tion is in bad shape In New England,
New York and Pennsylvania and the
republican party will carry that Sec
tion of the country. Mckinley, i be-
lieve. will also carry Maryland and
Illinois and / think he will be elected
president"
