In referring to the indications of dis.
content with Bryan for presidential
nominee in 1900, The Free Lance, in
Its last issue, called attention to the
fact that Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
q pronounced free silver advocate, and
probably the most influential Democrat
In the South, was the first to sound the
note Of dissatisfaction and to fire the
signal gun Of danger. There has been
some attempt by the friends Of Bryan
to discredit the genuiness of the "in-
teryiew" in which Senator Morgan pro-
mulged this view. But James L. Pugh,
Jr., son Of former Senator Pugh, of
Alabama, and assistant attorney for the
District Of Columbia, comes forward to
affirm the authenticity Of the Morgan
interview, and to declare that 1t was
not "ths vaporings Of an idle talker,
bu. that Morgan "only acted as the
spokesman of the leading men OF the
party In the South. Senator Pugh Is
now at Saratoga, and, according to the
statement Of his son. he went there at
the request of Senator German and
other party leaders, who wish to quiet
" formulate o campaign for 1900.
James l.. Pugh, Jr., a day or two age
said to q reporter of the Richmond
Times: my father has just made
canvass of part of the South. He adj
mits that the Bryan people are in con-
troll of the situation at present. but that
the awakening is coming. and he pre-
diets landslide in the near future.
There can be no doubt that organized
,novemeut Of no Insignificant dimen'
,iors Is on foot to select some other
than Bryan as leader of the Democratic
party in tbs next presidential campaign.

opportunities would otherwise be lost.
Thesfailure to assume and maintain
control. said Mr.. Barrett, would rel
egate the United States to secondary
place in the Pacific, As for the DIM
culties of governing the archipelago
this had been much exaggerated.
Aguinaldo and his followers could be
pacified by a mixture of diplomacy ana

trine be violated, for the occupation OF
the Philippines by the United States
was not a direct act of conquest, but
the inevitable result Of a war, in when

avoidably entailed.
Mr.. Barretta emphasized the fact that
the nations which, like England, were
chiefly concerned, approved of perma-
nent American control, and concluded
with the remark that all nations inter
ested could safely trust to the good
Judgment Of President Mckinley.
