Chicago. June s8.-The Tribune says:
Ex-GOv. William J. Stone. Of Missouri,
acting chairman OF the democratic ma
/ tiOnal committee, takes sharp issue
I with William J. Bryan and other lead
/ ers Of his party While not committing
I himself as 10 whether this country
should own and govern the Philippine
| islands. he declared strongly against
the anti-exPansiOn plea He asserted
that after Dewey hauled down the
/ Spanish cOlOrs at Manila there was
nothing left for patriotic Americans to
do but sustain the government in its
attempt to settle the questions there
arising without unduly criticising its
course. He said:
do not think the situation in the Philippines
as IL is at present should be made political is
sue I know much is said regarding the policy
{ Of the government in the Philippines, but do
not understand IL has formulated any policy
with reference TO then rs yet 1t IS time enough
TO raise an issue on this question when this pol
icy shall have been announced. but until that is
done hardly regard IL as ahOrding basis for
a legitimate political issue i would not be un-
derstOOd as indOrsing all that the government
has done in connection with these islands since
Admiral Dewey struck the Spanish colors in
Manila bay, for think some grave mistakes
have been made, but as matters stand at pres
ont We have got to stand BY our country
Carter Harrison Utters Warning.
Chicago, June 25.-NayOr Harrison
declares that Illinois may decide
whether William J. Bryan viii be
elected president in 1900. The mayor
makes this statement in a letter TO ID.
TurnbOlt, a democrat Of Lincoln, III.
Mr.. TurnbOlt wrote the mayor asking
him why the personal differences be
tween the former governor and the
mayor should not be settled, 50 that
united democracy could work for the
national ticket in 1900. The letter in
part follows:
The protest against Mr.. Altgeld and Devlin is
made By Mr.. Gahan- who is national commit
teeman Of the democratic party Of the state OF
Illinois and who has been perSistently ignored
in all party matters for the past two years
Unless the regular organization OF Illinois re-
ceives proper recognition personally would
despair Of success IN carrying the state
Of Illinois for the national ticket Of
1900. Mr. Bryan viii undoubtedly be the
democratic nominee at that time. With the
state Of Illinois casting its electoral vote for
him he would probably be seated as the success
sor OF President Mckinley, but Illinois cannot
be expected 70 give its electoral vote to the
democratic nominee for the presidency II the
regular organization is hampered in its work
and II reward is held out for the political
bOlter and the political traitor
