He would not however. say that ticket
would not be placed In the field next year.
The ex-governor did not know whether
there was any truth in the rumor that
former Speaker Reed would be strong
hacker of such party He said that he
had had no communication whatever from
that gentleman,
Secretary Ewing Winslow of the Anti
Imperial league said officially that there
was no proposition on foot or under con
slderation to organize an anti-lmperialist
party with Ex-Governor Boutwell, or any
body else as a presidential candidate. Such
talk as was called TO his attention. he
thought. might be due to the fact that
the league proposed to hold great Ma
tlonal convention about October under
the leadership of the vice presidents OF the
various States.
