completed the first ten days of
his stay in England at Windsor,
- where he. witnessed a military
review this afternoon and
caught his first glimpse of the Queen.
He has enjoyed London Immensely. and
his health has been so greatly bene-.

I am delis hted with o.tfd2or life tn

sentative of the. Associated Press To-
day, and with the wise methods, born
of experience, which teach the leaders
in politics and business men here TO
limit their working hours and take
every opportunity for rest and recrea-
ton. I have felt like an American who
has only week to see the Worlds Fair
and have regretted every minute l have
had to devote to rest The immense
crowds everywhere, the splendid gath
erings at the polo matches and horse
shows and the proceedings in Parlia-
ment have interested me immensely.
Il have not talked American politics
with English newspaper men. but l am
free to say that 1 believe the old ticket
will be renominated by the Republicans
next year and that it will be reelected
l anticipate little opposition to the first
part of this proposition, and I have no
doubt the American people will decide
the latter part as they did three years
ago.
My reason for this belief is based on
the fact that the United States is now
entering on a renewed era of prosper
ity- Every promise of the Republican
party has been. kept. Every prediction
has been fulfilled. There Is not a man
in the Emitted States to-day out of work

Mr. Whitney, Mr.: Croker and the rest
felt they: were frivfncible. They entered
the Chicago" convention over-conffdent
and undiscipIined for the battle. To my
mind, these. conditions: have now
changed. The Democratic. chairman,
Senator Jones, Is I'll in Europe Bryan,s
only weapon is free silver. and the
strength and weakness of. that weapon
are now fully realized. Senator German
has seen the error of his ways, I think,
and the Eastern Democrats will make
a great effort to secure. a new issue,
and if possible, a new. man.
"The trouble about the ,anti-trl.zt
campaign is that they cannot make
trusts a political issue. So far as
amassing wealth in a manner to iniure
the public is concerned: the RepubH-
can party is just as opposed to it as
the Democrats. -: :.

anti-expansion idea and, possibly Ad-
miral Dewey, but the combination
would not do and Admiral Dewey is so
big that he would+,not permit his repu-
tation as one of.:the great admirals of
his time to be used for any politica!
purpose AssuredIy, the Democrats are
at sea.
