New York, Aug. 23.-A dispatch to
the Journal from Hotel Champlain,
". Y, says.
President Mckinley stated to Jour-
nal reporter that it should be pleas.
ure to every American citizen to know
that there was return of prosperity
| to the country.
1.-THE cause of the present boom in
the west" he said, sis undoubtedly
due in a great measure to the large
crops and high prices caused by the
failure of crops in other countries.
But the fact that prosperity has set in
| in the east can not be accounted for in
any other way than by the wise policy
of the Republican party in restoring a
protective tariff.
1.-THE present boom is not spasmod-
| ic, but will continue to increase, and
not only the manufacturers, but the
people generally will soon realize that
it is only with protective tariff and
sound financial principles that the
country will be prosperous and remain
in that condition.

will come a restoration of prosperity"
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 23.-National Re-
publican managers are preparing to
take part in the campaigns in half a
dozen states where local elections are
to be held this fall. Henry G. Payne,
National executive committeeman
Ifrom Wisconsin; L. V. Smalley, of the
National Sound Money league; Geo.
L. Roberts, Iowa, and S. A. Perkins,
private secretary to. Senator NJ. A.
Hanna and assistant secretary OF the
National Republican committee, are
in the city and two conferences have
been held with NJ. j. Bowling, secre-
tary of the State National Republi-
can league, regarding the policy of the
various state campaigns in which the
election of a United States senator
is at stake. The two informal confer

participated in by Henry G. Payne,
Col. Rand, Chas. d. Dawes, President
Perkins, of the College league and Sec

on, were discussed.
The conference at which the plans
of the league will be determined will
take place as soon as Major Charles
Dick, of Ohio, secretary of the Re
publican National committee, arrives.
Mr.. Dick stands very close to Senator
Hanna and will represent the National
chairman in the conference.
One feature of especial moment in
the conference will be the Ohio cam
lpaign. The situation is peculiar one
and it is the desire of those high in the
councils of the party that no mistake
shall be made. What part, if any, the
Republican league will take in the ell
ections in Virginia, Iowa, Kentucky
Maryland and Massachusetts, will also
be determined at the coming meeting.
The question as to the propriety of the
league renewing the relations with
the National committee, which were
so effective last year in the National
campaign, is also an important one.
Early in July Secretary Bowling and
Gen. McAlpin, who was at the time
president of the league perfected an ar
rangement with Chairman Hanna
which practically placed the league
in the relative position of an auxiliary
of the National committee, but under
its immediate direction. This was
