NEXT NATIONAL TICKETS.
Mr. Lewis says Mckinley and ROOse-
welt Rn6 Bryan and SchIey.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 27.-Congrsssman
James Hamilton Lewis, of Washington
passed through Atlanta to-day, on his way
home from Havana. Mr.. Lewis says he be-
iieyes the Republicans will put up Mckinley
and Roosevelt for the next campaign, and
the Democratic ticket, he thinks will read
Bryan and Schley." For chairman of the
Republican national committee, Mr. Lewis
believes Mark Hanna is slated, while Sen
ator German will fill like position for the
Democrats. In explaining his 'lne ups"
alr. Lewis said You will find that the
Republicans will not renominate Mr.. Ho-
bart, because they can make a stronger
nomination. OF course, the fact that the
antitrust fight will be particularly promi-
nent in the coming campaign makes him
rather vulnerable, for most of the trusts
have been Incorporated under the New Jer-
sey law. for which the Republican
party of that State is responsible
and the line TO Hobart is direct
but that is not the chief reason
for looking elsewhere for vice presidential
timber. The Republicans see that there is
opposition to expansion, and they figure it
cut that unless they have the active assist
ance of some war hero they will be in fix.
Naturally they turn to Roosevelt. who is
certainly the best man they could take.
Roosevelt would undoubtedly add strength
to that ticket"
Continuing Colonel Lewis said: LAS to the
Democratic ticket, / figure il out this way:
There has been an effort to make 1T appear
that Mr. German has been fighting Bryan.
in order TO get the nomination for himself.
He has not had that idea, for he knows he
could not possibly be nominated. but he is
still and always will be, an active factor i'm
the management of Democratic affairs and
when the time comes TO consider the ques-
tion OF vice presidential nominee he will
say: We must have a war hero. There is
Schley, for whom the people Of the country
have a great love. The people know that
Schley was in that great battle off Santi-
ago and that he was in technical command
there. His nomination would tend to unite
all Democratic elements and l believe if he
were nominated he would prove tower of
strength. l also believe Mr. German would,
under those circumstances. accept the chair

and his followers. who have been voting for
Mr. Quay since the beginning of the dead

potent reason for the conference. Senator
MaSee is not In Harrisburg tonight and will

torship, but none of them can be traced to
any reliable source. except that Mr.. Quay
