opinions in all public questions save the
tariff are absolutely unknown. If this
is true it should be his chief recommen-
dation to the SURFACES of the people,
since it viii enable him to faithfully
carry out their wishes as expressed at
the polls. Those Republicans who have
opposed Mckinley 50 far have been ac-

deigned to give any expression to what
may be in his mind. his popularity has
steadily grown. The people seem more
and more convinced every day that he
is the man they have been looking for.

years of an administration headed by
