the party organization as hard they
could Last night all of them were on the
stage at the big Roosevelt meeting ard as
sured the candidate for governor of their
loyal support. This is the first time since
1894 that the republicans of Erie county
have oeen united
The democrats. or rather, Frank Camp
bell, Hills friend ard chairman of the
democratic state committee claim to see
democratic success on election day. Says
Campbell:
THE whole situation might be summed
up fairly in this way: When the democrats
are united in this state they always elect
their state ticket. They are now thorough
ly united. Therefore, they will win"
do you think the democrats will carry
the Legislature, tco?' was asked
That depends on the majority for the
state ticket" Mr.. Campbell replied. 'If
the majority is very large the legislature
may be Won"
How is it, then" asked his interviewer,
that Alton b. Parker, the democratic can
didate for chief justice of the court of APP
peals carried the state last year by nearly
10,Ho0, and yet the legisla ture was strongly
republican,"
THAT is easily explained" Mr. Campbell
replied 'All of Judge Parker's ma iority
came from one section-New York city. If
Van Wyck's majority is made up in the
same way, of course a republican legisla-
ture will be elected. but we have reason to
hope that his majority will be more gen.
orally distributed; that he will make gains
up the state, and tnat several democratic
assembly candidates will run with the state
ticket in republican districts ard win

CAMP SITES IN CUBA.
Their Final Selection Awaits tn,
PrcSileut's Return.

Presidents Return.
The final selection of camp sites for the
American troops who will garrison Cuba
awaits the Presidents return from Phia-
delphia. Although discussed to some lengt h
at the latest cabinet meeting, the various
reports of the Hecker board were not final
ly disposed of, and it is probable that the
cabinet will feel that it should take some
expert advice before making final se.ec-
tions. The troops will not be landed at any
one place, but each detachment will be
landed at the nearest and most accessible
por: to the place which is to form its camp
ing ground. Among the places that have
been recommended by the Hecker board
are:
Guanabacoa, which can be reached best
from Regla, opposite to Havana on the bay;
Mariana, about six miles southwest of Ha-
vana, with seaport at Playa da Mariana,
and Mariel, on a bay of the same name
about twenty-five miles distant from Ha-
vana and beyond Mariana. All these sites

Said the Argus recently, speaking OF
Candidate Mckinney, Personally and
politically he is all that could be desired
for "a strong, aggressive candidate-ener-
getic straightforward, trustworthy, q
man to be relied upon in any position in
which he may be placed; of prepossessing
appearance, a man of strong. clear con-
yictions and one who inspires his audi
ence from the start" Two years ago
accurate. He then appeared to be strong
and aggressive. He certainly used strong
language in regard to free silver and Bry-
an, and he was inclined to be aggressive
too, as he rushed into print. He was
straightforward, also. There is no chance
to misunderstood what he thought then
of Bryan and free silver. But now it
looks as If he had lost good deal of his
strength and aggressiveness and straight
forwardness. Certainly 1t was not
straightforward to permit himself to be
nominated by Democratic convention
thought of the last Democratic nation al
candidate, and of the principal plank in
the platform Of the party. 1t is not ag-
gressiove nor strong in him to want to
discuss local issues which have no bearing
upon congressional campaign and ig-
more national questions It looks very
much as if MIR. Mckinney had been born
again within two years, and that the pro-
cess had stripped him entirely of his old
characteristics.

The collector of internal revenue reply
ing to a complaint from Boston in regard
to the practice of the express compan les
in charging their customers for the
stamps that have to be placed upon re.
ceipts under the new revenue law says:
1.-the department which 1 have the honor
to represent cannot, so far as I know,
oblige the carriers above enumerated to
accept the packages from the merchants.
Its province is simply to see that for
what they do receive a receipt shall be
given, and that receipt be properly
stamped as provided by law" This
makes it clear that the revenue depart
nent can do nothing to compel the ex-
press companies to pay for the stamps
because the power to refuse to accept
packages puts the sender at their mercy.
Il has been suggested that as they are
common carriers they are under Legal
obligation to receive all packages rendered
them if accompanied by the charge
for sending them, and this
may be SO. But all they would have tc
do, however, in this case would be tc
raise their charges. Tt looks, therefore,
as if the patrons of the express compa'
nies would have to pay the stamp tax, in
one form or another, unless the compa.
mics voluntarily pay it themselves, which
it is not likely they Will do.

President Mckinley has set at rest the
story that Commodore Watson was going
to lombard Spanish cities by informing
the powers that he will do no such
thing The sole purpose of sending Wat
son to Spain is to destroy Admiral Ca
mara's ships. Spanish coast cities are not
to be bcmbarded, neither are the Canary
Islands to be seized. But if Camara' IS
ships take refuge in some fortified harbor,
as they probably will, how is Comm O.
dore Watson to get at them? Sampson
was kept out of Santiago by forts and
mines. Why cannot Watson be kept out
of Cadiz or any other port where Ca
mara's fleet takes refuge by the same
kind of defences? But perhaps Watson is
a man who is likely to take more chances
than Sampson.
