with combines and monopo-
lies. We had a great chance
in 1896, and we came very
near success, and we will
have Just as good a chance
in 1900. l see nothing in the
situation that ia discourage
ing to democrats, but on the
contrary, much that beto'
kens a winning campaign"
One of the conundrums ol
the hour IS why the sending
of a cabIegram to Gen. Otis
conveying an expression o1
Mr.. McKinley's confidence in
him, and satisfaction with all
he has done, including b {
press censoring, should have
been kept secret for ten days
after it was sent? Some say
that Mr.. Mckinley wanted
to ascertain how far public
sentiment would 20 in sup
porting the demand for the
recall OF Otis, and thatifth
demand had been a little
stronger the cablegramwoulc
have been suppressed entire
, ly. 1t was evidently kept
, back for some purpose. Anc
it would have been the frs
; time that official matters
{ have been made public OF
suppressed by the admins
, tIation in Difference to th'
to the state of public opin
, ion.
