man, but this summer l concluded that

over the state of Illinois to my lieutenant
governor, called the few friends that are
with me around me and we were off. leav-
ing dull care in Springfield. That was six
weeks ago., and the desire of many years
has been partially gratified. I have looked
over he great west, principally from a
car window, but nave made stops in the
principal cities, and the famous remark
of the queen of Sheba when she realized
how great We're the glOries of Solomon

States, with it's unlimited resources. and
a future that make us of the east wonder.
II am particularly impressed with

far-seeing members of he party would
be glad to do so, realizing as they do that
the silver issue is dead, and if espoused
will lead the party to another defeat.
This much can be said with assurance:
If the silver men control the next ma
tional convention and declare for silver.
the declaration will be made solely for
the purpose of misleading the people.
and should they win, which is almost an
impossibility, they will never carry out
their monetary pledges, for the reason
that the real statesmen Of the party, re-
alizing what an upheaval it would bring
about, when the test comes. would be
against silver. The issue is dead and is
buried in the big bOneyard of the de-

only party ever existing in the United
States which has been courageous enough
to legislate in the direction of the control
of corporations and corporate greed, and
further, when the platform of the repub-

framed, Mark Hann and other corpora

party will then, as it has in the past,
stand by the people and declare in favor
of the suppression Of the trusts and
against the control of affairs by the

"As to imperialism, so-called by those
opposed to progression, the republican
party in 1900 will stand by and endorse
the wise and conservative administration
of President Mckinley in his conduct of
the war. The West India question is
practically settled. The Philippine ISL

and the people of the United States are
not IN favor of leaving the islands to the
mercy of foreign powers, who hunger for
their control. I am not posted as to the
policy of the administration with regard
to it's Philippine policy, but believe with
many republicans that we should at once
crush out the resistance of the insurg-
ents. restore order, and then leave the
adjustment Of the government of the ISL
apds to congress-. which meets in DeCem-
