terest!ng to me. have not talked Amer
lean politics with English newspapers, but
am free to say That / believe the old
ticket will be renominated by the repuD-
leans next year and that 1t viii be re-
elected. | anticipate little opposition on
the first part OF this proposition. and have
no doubt the American people viii deciae
the latter part as they did three years a2o'
MY reason for this belief is based on
o., tkak ha mil pd
tering on renewed era of prosperity.
Every promise of the republican parry has
been kept. Every prediction has been tul-
filed. There is not a man in the United
States out of work who wants work. Inls
is the normal condition Commercial pros
perity Is based on confidence, aud ne only
thing that can destroy the confidence rev
prevailing is a change OF administration.
Are there persons who manifest spirit
of dissatisfaction with the course OF events
in the Philippines" the senator was
asked.
He replied. ITO my mind, the conditions
there are largely of our own making In de-
laying the annexation bill

Mr.. whitney, Nj Croker and the resi-

the Chicago convention overconfident and

manner TO injure the public Is concerned,

; possibly Admiral Dewey. but the combina-
I ton would not do and Admiral Dewey Is
80 big that he would not permit bis repu-
taticn ae one OF the great admirals of his
time TO be used for any political purpose
I Assuredly the democrats are at sea.
