COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

New York Mail and Express Rep):
Senator Spooner. staunch Republican as
he is, was among the opponents of Ha-
waiian annexation. BY analogy, he presu-
mably regards with disfavor our acquisi-
ton of Porto Rico; and, of course, he is
and properly-antagonistic to Philippine
annexation. No one has the ght to quar-
rel with Senator Spooner because of his
opinion concerning these propositions.
They are in no sense matters of party
policy or division But we respectfully
submit that he has been unjust to the
party in Wisconsin if he has, through his
great infiuence-as we suspect-prevented
all reference to American expansion in
the platform.

Henry NJ. Stanley has placed himself
on record as opposed to an Anglo
American alliance. Almost everything
he opposes has much merit in it. While
there is not much likelihood of such
an alliance, still Mr.. Stanley's OPPOSE
ton would not count for very much,
and would have little or no weight in
either country

OF y bridge over navigable waters. He did not
