Venerable Cove rnoF Relieves ThRt
the LaborInS Ciahsgs Ave Op-
posed TO Mckinley.

Ey-Gov, Boutwell, is Ns firm rs ever
that President Mckinley should be de-
feated, and he Is also confident that he
win be, Mr., Boutwell, has been 4 stur-
dy opponent OF imperialism from the
first, and he has the courage Of his con-
ylctlons and opposes not only the re-
election Of President Mckinley, but he
opposes every congressional candidate
who fuvors imperialism, He does not
believe In II at oil, and he regards II
Ns dangerous TO the welfare Of the
country, This llfe-iong republican and
stout party man has squ0rely broken
with the republican party and is Will
ing 10 see II go down TO defeat parny
for lis own good and slill more for
the good OF Tie country, Mr. jout-
wc!l is quoted IN Sew FORK MS follows;
'I believe Mckinley and Roosevelt Will
be defeated, Thcrc Is strong sentiment
against the republican party among the
masses Mckinley viii carry Massachl~
setts, but Win lose New York, The labor
ing clnsses, tie Germans ANA the colored
men are against Mckinley, The labor ele-
Inout docs not like his use OF troops, the
Germans have !aany grievances, and the
colored people will resent the adminiatra-
ton's neRleet 10 punish the murders Of
colorod mex in the Hdluh. This feeling
against the administration ~ not confined
to any one loculitg, II will be found III MI
parts OF the United States, The trouble
with ,lIe :epnblican pirty Is that II has too
few l0JseVcltS and zoo Jew Lodges to
stand up and GGy that tbs ~ mat policy IS
right The Philadelphia ticket Will be
beaten"
l1X.Speaker Thomas B. Reed Is an
other republican whose attitude to-
wards Mckinley Is PS'rg :hc party
some concern. No, only does he say
nothing aDout T. faYorably, bat his
sharp criticisms IN the legal and other
circles IN which he moves Eaye an in
ilucn2e, aud many Of his friends are
said 10 be turning against the ticket
that they would otherwise hnve sup
ported, One man who gave $4,000 TO
the republican campaign fund four
years ago II Is observation-disclosures,
and this change is atwl5u,ed o Reed s
influence, Wncn such reports as these
were shown 10 tie eN-spcakcr he sim
ply remarked that be supposed that
every man rad riglt to his opinion.
1t is not probable Eow tha, Nj, Reed
will support Bryan openly, but he is
not likely TO 10 much IN favor Of Nc
Kinley, He does not believe in the ad-.
minisirat,on policy at all, he Is not
an Gdmirer o. Hanna, and he has no
particular love for the president. He
is practically opposed to the Whole
administration aud many of Its friends,
add he does not hesitate TO let IL be
known. Senator loar wiz, Of course,
give a perfunctory support to the re-
publican ticket because he Is a candi-
date for reelection at the hands Of
the next legislature, but the logic OF
his position puts him outside Of his
party, and his own influence will be
counted against himself, There viii
be thousands of men who have hereto
fore acted with the republican party
and who win be against il this year,
Some of Them will not hasten 10 let it
be known, but the facts will come out
gradually Meantime the rank and file
of the republican party who are not i'm
accord With The administrations pol
icy will show their disposition to OPP
pose It taad to oppose all congressional
candidates who favor imDeIalism.
There is to be new alignment this
year, and It is going to he an alignment
Of quite uncommon interest LAW
