While in England l met q great
many friends who questioned me re-
garding American politics, and whom
answered as well as l was able. Ths
great mass Of the people OF England
know as little about our politics as thu
inhabitants of Patagonia do about AFFAIR
in Russia. The monied class, however.
have developed quite an interest in oui
affairs during the present campaign
They know only what they learn from
the brief and distorted articles which
appear in their newspapers regarding
the political situation here.
