Anniston, Ala, Aug 23-Senator
 Morgan, who is spending the summer
 here, has changed hts political views a
 li>-le. He said this afternoon in an
 interview with the special correspond
 ent of the Washington Times that the
 democrats should abide by the Chi
 cago platform without any amendment
 or modification; that he would be
 entirely satisfied with any nominee
 who would sincerely accept that plat
 form as the basis of his political ad
 ministration; that in case the repub-
 licans should pass their currency bill
 silver would again become the leading
 predominating issue of the next
 presidential campaign; that MT.
 Bryan, as the democratic lead
 CT on that plank of the Chi
 oago platform, would be the logical
 nominee of the party; and that a sil-
 yer man would be elected president in
 1900. Senator Morgan reiterated h.s
 confidence in the policy of expansion,
 declared that MT. Bryan and MT.
 Mckinley concurred in the opinion that the war in the Philippines should
 be prosecuted to a successful con
 clusion; that no political party which
 would oppose the United States gov ernment in its earnest attempt to SUD- press the Snsurrection in the Philip pines would be sustained by the Amer ican people, and expressed his belsef that the democratic party could never
 be led into any such attitude.
 T think thSs the democratic party in the Chicago platform" began Sen ator Morgan, gave free, full and clear expression of the democratic creed governing number of subjects. I think we ought to abide by that pol icy without any amendment or modi- fcat;on. I should be entirely satisfied with any nominee who will sincerely accept that platform as the basis of his political administration At the pres ent moment MT. Bryan is the leader of the party on the silver plank in that platform, and I believe that he will be the logical leader of the party on the issues that will be formed if the repub- licans succeed, as I suppose they will in passing in their currency bill.
 "The republicans who Favor the sin gle gold standard have aLb th@ time since 1873 been determined to swing the country back to the condition 1t was left in by the Sherman act That act denied coinage to the silver dollar and took away the legal tender qual- ity of that coin when payments ex- ceeded the sum of zen dollars. I sup pose the currency act that they intend to pass will in some form reach the same results. That will present the issue between gold and silver as t stood under the Sherman law. and MT. Bryan will then become the recognized Header of all opposed to that kind Of 
 'If the republicans insist upon the legal enactment of the single gold standard, silver will be the leading predominating issue in the next cam pafgn. The republicans will attempt to disguise the purpose and effect of their Legislation, but the real question will be this: Shall the coinage of the silver dollar be prohibited and it's legal tender power Limited to ten dollars in one payment? On that question I have little doubt that every democrat and every man who claims to be a bi- metallist in the United States, wiN vote for the democratic nominee, and I think a silver man will be elected president.
 T think the government is doing everything that is requisite to crush put Aguinaldo's insurrection. I ex- pect the end to come very soon Mac Arthur's movements show that the cImate out there is as bad on she Fil- pinos as On our troops, and I cannot believe that the enemy will hold out much longer. There can be no doubt n my mind that Aguinaldo's muni- ions of war are supplied by a an out side combination somewhere on the ecaSt Of Asia. That combination is fighting the United States or mercenary and malignant pur- lOSe. They are counting upon popular t entiment in the United States to re- all the American troops and to maSe erms With Aguinaldo. That expecta- ion is utterly vain and without any oundation in fact. The people in this are satisfied with results al 'eady accomplished and to be ae- by this war. They are de-
